Tell BLOX how you feel and how much time you have. It builds the workout – Fitness, Bike, Stretch or Calm – and Stickfreed shows every move. Alone or together.
Beta running on Android TV and Google TV · phone app for Android and iPhone · in the stores before Christmas
One tap on “good”, “tired” or “under the weather” sets how hard it gets (fine-tune with the slider). After a long day it’s easy, after a cold a gentle restart, and whatever fell short this week comes next.
Pick the focus yourself – Muscle (strength), Heart (cardio) or Mood (stretching, breathing) – or let BLOX decide.
TV taken or in a hotel? The whole workout runs on your phone: Stickfreed demonstrates, announcements come along, and you just say “make it easier” or “two minutes break”.
Camera coach (beta): For standing exercises your phone stands upright, on the floor sideways – BLOX tells you in the break before when to turn it, and whether you’re fully in frame. Then it counts your reps, shows your target and lets you know when you stop going deep enough. New exercise? Watch first, then do five practice reps with quick feedback. With a TV, your phone films and the TV shows it big.

Instead of a weekly plan, BLOX builds every workout fresh – from how you feel, your time and the last few days. By these rules:
Legs, upper body, core and cardio recover at different speeds. After hard legs comes upper body or something calm. Never two hard days in a row, a lighter week after three active ones.
One question after your workout: “How was it?” BLOX turns it into your training load. If a week jumps up, the next suggestion gets calmer.
BLOX remembers your dumbbells (light, medium, heavy) and suggests more when it’s going well – with the camera coach after a single workout. Without weights the exercise levels up: from knee push-ups to push-ups.
A standing warm-up, longer before hard sessions. Short workouts are full-body. At least as much pulling as pushing, a rep goal for every strength exercise (“Goal 9–11 reps”), a calm cool-down. Rests adapt to you.
The next day brings the same movement as a different exercise or at a different tempo.
On Android TV and Google TV, BLOX keeps running as a small window over Netflix, Prime Video & co. It reads how long the episode has left, builds the workout to match and pauses with the show.
Started an episode mid-workout? BLOX asks on your phone whether to match it: warm-up and cool-down get longer or shorter, intervals stay. If an app doesn’t report its time left, say “one more episode of Dark”.
BLOX only reads the time left and pause – what you watch stays on the TV.
Everyone picks their workout on their own phone. The TV shows you side by side, each with their own heart rate, weights and controls, and their own window over the show. When you both rest at the same time, your figures meet in the middle: high five.
The glowing figure shows every exercise, even in the window over your show. Everyone picks their figure, it glows in their colour.
With a smart trainer BLOX sets the watts (ERG), without one you ride by heart rate and cadence.
“Something easy today, 30 minutes”, “plus two kilos”, “pause” – just tell your phone.
Ski trip in February? BLOX plans the weeks up to it.
After the workout: heart-rate curve, muscles trained, points for Muscle, Heart and Mood. Rating is optional, BLOX learns from it.
Garmin watch or Apple Watch show the exercise and time left and send your heart rate. A chest strap always works.
Workouts go to Strava and to Apple Health if you like. What you do outdoors feeds the next suggestion.
Everyone with their own account and their own heart rate, kids without a phone too. Connect a TV with a QR code.
Android TV or Google TV: big picture, your phone is the remote, heart-rate strap and smart trainer via Bluetooth.
You need a phone with Android or iOS. For the TV: a device or stick with Android TV or Google TV; on Xbox, Samsung, LG and PC it runs in the browser (trainblox.com/tv), without the window over Netflix. Optional: smart trainer with ERG (e.g. Elite Direto, Wahoo, Tacx), heart-rate strap or watch, dumbbells. Apple TV is planned.
Questions about training at home, answered briefly.
A training app for your phone and for TVs with Android TV or Google TV. Tell it how you feel and how much time you have – BLOX builds a workout: Fitness, Bike, Stretch or Calm.
Yes. The whole workout also runs on your phone alone (Android and iPhone), with Stickfreed, announcements, voice coach and camera coach.
Yes. Garmin watches send it via “Broadcast Heart Rate” – BLOX for Garmin is coming soon to the Connect IQ Store. On Apple Watch, BLOX opens by itself when you train (in the iPhone app beta), shows the exercise and time left and sends your heart rate to your phone and TV. A chest strap always works.
No. With a smart trainer (e.g. Elite Direto, Wahoo, Tacx) BLOX sets the watts; on a spin or exercise bike you ride by heart rate and cadence. For Fitness, Stretch and Calm, a mat, dumbbells or your body weight is enough.
Yes, that’s what BLOX is made for. Your workout stays visible as a small window on top of any streaming app, controlled from your phone. If the app reports its time left (e.g. Disney+), the workout lasts as long as the episode and pauses with it.
Fully, including the window over Netflix & co., on Android TV and Google TV. A stick for that fits any TV with HDMI (stick tips). On Xbox, Samsung, LG or a PC, open trainblox.com/tv in the browser and connect with the QR code: workouts, side by side for two and coach work there too, just without the window over your show; heart rate comes from the phone app. Samsung with Multi View: show large, mirrored phone next to it (“Mirror your phone to the TV” in the app) – fine for one person. Apple TV is planned.
Yes, but not a rigid one. BLOX builds every workout fresh from how you feel, your time and the last few days, watches recovery by body region and your load (from “How was it?”), and progresses weights and exercises. With a goal like a ski trip it plans the weeks up to it.
Yes: the same workout together, or each their own, side by side on one screen. Everyone controls their part from their own phone.
Yes, as the remote: the BLOX app for Android or iPhone or, without the app, your browser after scanning the QR code on the TV.
