Hykso: Wearable Punch Trackers

These are a must for anyone who is serious about tracking their progress. Adds a little extra motivation during training as you compete with yourself and try to improve with every session. Reason for a 4 rating and not a 5 is that it lacks a backup system, so a new phone means losing your data, also wish it would distinguish between uppercuts/hooks instead of lumping into “power punch”, and lastly, there’s a problem with the app that doesn’t allow you to save image to your phone’s pictures (when trying to share workout results). The moment you hit “save image” the app closes. Please fix and it will be a perfect product.

I’ve had the trackers for three years now, they’ve been dropped, kicked, flown out of the wraps and landed behind the lockers, sweated on profusely, batted around by the cats, charged and recharged, and they are still going strong. Great tracking, and the intensity metric may be a bit opaque, but its not how they measure, it’s about measuring consistently so you can track progress. I go for 80k intensity per month. I do wish they would allow for posting results on their website so I can see how I compare. It seems a natural for interactive community activity and competitions. Can I do one minute of a semi-pro’s three minute workout? Rolling up on my 400,000th punch, if I have the math right, and the trackers are hanging in right with me! Great job.

Love these! They are a great way to add motivation and push yourself harder in classes or on your own. I suggest the app allow more notes to workouts so you can add what punches or combos you throw in each round. And/or allow the user to set different types of bells within a round as reminders or cues for changes within a round. This would be very helpful, then I’d give it 5 stars. Extra bonus suggestion: voice activated!! Hard to start the timer with gloves on! ;)

Had a great experience using it tonight for the first time! I’m a little curious since you don’t have a login or no feature for a back up. If I was to switch to a new phone is all of my data and previous workouts lost? That is my only concern other than that I felt it was pretty accurate. I think I counted a lot of my street punches as power shots but nothing that would bother me

As someone who use to box and do Muay thai, but am done sparring (I’m 40) it’s nice to use this app to still get a good work. Use the data and feedback to push yourself to beat your last session. Only suggestion would be to see if the developer could get the same trackers to be used with shin guards, that way you could track punches and kicks.
