Step 1 of 5
Save your group code & set a trainer PIN
Members enter the group code to join. You will use a private PIN to unlock the trainer console. Only staff can start class or send reports.
Your group code
-
Bookmark /admin. Sign in with your owner email, then set a studio PIN. Only you can control settings and the board.
Step 2 of 5
Open the live board on a TV
Use any screen in your studio: smart TV, projector, or a laptop connected to a display.
- Open a web browser on the display device (Chrome or Safari works best).
- Go to your live board link below and leave it full-screen.
- When members connect, their heart rates appear automatically.
Step 3 of 5
Invite your group
Share the join link or code before class. Members do not need an account; joining is free.
- Tell members to open the join link on their phone, not a laptop. Bluetooth will not work on desktop.
- Share the member setup guide with anyone who struggles with Apple Watch or Bluetooth.
- They enter your group code (or it may pre-fill from the link).
- They pick an anonymous display name and connect their tracker.
Group code
Share the QR on posters or your studio screen. Members scan it on their phone to join.
Step 4 of 5
Heart rate trackers & watches
Members connect via Bluetooth from the join page. Here is what works:
Install a relay app that broadcasts heart rate over Bluetooth:
Start the relay app, wait until broadcasting, then tap Connect heart rate monitor on the join page. If pairing fails, wait 5–10 seconds and try again.
Most standard Bluetooth HR monitors pair directly; no extra app needed.
Wear the strap, tap connect, and select the device from the list.
Most Fitbit models do not work with PulseGrid in a browser. Share the Fitbit troubleshooting guide with affected members.
Charge 6 may work via HR on equipment on the tracker; chest straps are most reliable.
Enable Bluetooth heart rate broadcast in watch settings, or use HeartCast from Google Play.
Tip: ask members to connect before the warm-up.

- Tap Start on the session timer when class begins.
- Set a target HR zone (green / yellow / red) to match the workout.
