About this app

MaccaX, powered by Pear Training Intelligence™ is an interactive, personalized training app that provides real-time audio coaching.

MaccaX makes training efficiently and effectively simple – and fun, whether you've started working out for the first time or you are a Boston Marathon qualifier. Pear has 100s of workout and training plans from running to mountain biking to strength training to yoga, with more workouts being added every day

What makes MaccaX unique is that it guides you, step by step, telling you when to speed up or slow down, provides useful tips to improve your form, explains the purpose and benefits of the workout, and keeps motivating you.

Choose a workout, fire up your music, and a world-class coach takes it from here, providing real-time audio coaching every step of the way.

With MaccaX, you never have to wonder "Am I pushing myself enough?" or "What do these heart rate numbers mean?" MaccaX eliminates these doubts by interpreting your biometrics for you, so you can focus on the workout itself.

It uses a Bluetooth® 4.0 heart rate monitor* to measure your body’s response to a workout, and ensures that you train at the right intensity for maximum results by providing real-time audio coaching.

A common mistake many athletes make is too much repetition in their workouts. Research shows that athletes get much better results when they vary their training, doing a mix of activities at different intensities.
