Rowing BoatCoach

BoatCoach displays stroke rate, stroke count, distance, speed, time, elapsed time, calories and heart rate.

BoatCoach provides rowers with a complete set of information about their workout. BoatCoach is perfect for competitive and casual rowing alike.

You can graph your workout and plot speed, stroke rate, and heart rate vs. distance and time. Pinch & zoom to highlight specific portions.

All of your workout history is available online with interactive charts & graphs at www.boatcoachapp.com.

BoatCoach also has a unique map page that not only shows you where you are on a Google map, but also shows you the location of all other rowers on the water who are using BoatCoach. Click on a boat and find out what their stroke rate is or how fast they’re going. Great for meeting up for workouts or for tracking your favorite boats during races!

You can easily Tweet or Facebook a summary of your workout with just a press of the button. You can also email (or DropBox) all your workout details to yourself.

BoatCoach not only saves you from spending hundreds of dollars on a dedicated stroke meter, but it also provides social features not possible using a dedicated device.

To measure your heart rate you’ll need to buy a heart rate monitor from Zephyr. See below for further information.
