Bag Engine

Bag Engine is the companion app for the Bag Engine sensor: a small box that straps to your heavy bag and counts every punch you land. The app needs the sensor. Your phone does not count punches on its own. With the sensor on the bag, open the app on the same Wi-Fi and every punch lands on your phone as you throw it. LIVE A big punch counter, the clock, your pace in punches a minute, and a power read on every punch. The app rates each punch against your own hard punch, so a light round reads LIGHT and a big one reads HARD or MAX, whatever bag you are on. It learns your hard punch over your first hundred punches. An intensity score grades the last 60 seconds on power, volume and pace. ROUND TIMER Three minute rounds with a one minute rest, or set your own rounds, rest and round count. The bell rings on your phone. Stop, resume, or let a workout run as long as you like. HISTORY Every workout is saved to your account: punches, minutes, punches per minute, your best minute, and the share of light, moderate, strong, hard and max punches. Weekly totals show how this week compares with last. Open any workout for the minute by minute bars and share it from the app. YOUR ENGINES Set up an Engine in a few steps over Wi-Fi, give it a name, and switch between Engines if you have more than one bag.
