TeamBuilder, not positive on the cost, but reasonable for something like 500 athletes, it is immensely valuable.

Used it last year, didn't like it for the cost. Also, felt like it slowed our lift down a bit too. Also drove me crazy not knowing if kids were plugging in their results on their phone or looking at social media.

We had iPads mounted to racks so we didn't have phones in the room, and it was an actual class during the day, but I understand what you are saying, it's actually done the opposite for us, from paper to iPad, sped things up a lot and has made kids much more accountable, as I can check if people didn't finish a lift or workout.

Can you please explain the logistics of how your setup works (iPads mounted at each rack)? how are the cards done? logins? etc. |

A little off topic, but it’s only a matter of time before equipment companies start selling power racks with integrated tablets or tablet holders and that are wired for power. I can see that becoming increasingly prevalent in the next 5 years. Would not be surprised if someone has something like that out on the market now.

For each rack, we have one of those swiveling magnetic tablet holders. We also have a GymAware Flex device and mat for each rack. The kids set the equipment up at the start of class. All the iPads have the same login. Then, they open the GymAware app and select whichever movement we are doing. They get their sets, reps, and weights from a Google sheet I created that has formulas that automatically calculated the weight on the bar for each set. Works well for us. |

Can you please explain the logistics of how your setup works (iPads mounted at each rack)? how are the cards done? logins? etc. Like mentioned above, magnetic mounts on the rack, TeamBuilder allows for 1, 2 or 4 athletes view at a time, they choose their name from the list and the date of the workout they are completing and they get to work. Exercises, sets, reps and weights are listed, takes probably 30 seconds of setup for each group to get the appropriate athletes showing up on the iPad, maybe less. Works well for us. At the end of day we check iPad battery life and charge if needed, so the first athletes the next day may need to place the iPad into the mount, which adds another minute to the setup there, tops. Hope this helps. I think we use the Mob armor brand of magnetic mounts, have worked very well so far. |

I’ve been asking to use chalk since I got here but no success yet. Compared to most, I have it really good here. If not using chalk is the price I need to pay for working in a weight room like this, it’s a bargain. |
