One song workout
The most musical

For athletes who can't do without their headphones and UX Republic playlists! The only application that has finally understood that music boosted your performance!
Workout intensity is based on your favorite track from your iTunes library. The movements evolve as soon as you change songs. We are adapting the application to your context of use.
The application advises you to start slowly (and avoid pain from the first 2 minutes) with a low rhythm sound . When you have gained in training, we advise you to continue with the jerome's playlist, after that… You will become addicted and the strengthening sessions will no longer hold any secrets for you!
So, to your playlists!

The perfect companion for water lovers

0% of consumers have tried swimming with a waterproof iPhone X.
