Stop the "Clock Stare"
In Pilates, yoga, and HIIT, the energy of the room is everything. But to keep a class on schedule, instructors are forced into glancing at a wall clock, checking their phone, or raising their wrist to look at a stopwatch.
Every time you look away to check the time, you break eye contact, disrupt the flow of the class, and pull yourself out of the present moment.
"It looks unprofessional, and it feels distracting. Your clients notice when you leave the room mentally."

One-Tap Sync
Tap "Sync to Watch" and your completed flow sends instantly to your Apple Watch. You can now leave your phone tucked away safely in a locker.
Teach by Touch
Hit "Play" on your wrist. A subtle pulse warns you at 5 seconds left; a solid tap signals the transition cue.
Built for the way
you teach.
Tight interval circuits or slow 90-minute flows — build a timer that matches your class plan, down to the second.
Absolute Presence
Keep your eyes on your clients' form, not on the clock. Cadence lets you stay entirely in the room, creating a deeply connected class experience.
Invisible Tech
Because the app communicates through physical haptic taps, your clients will never know you are using an app. You will simply look like a master of timing.
Effortless Prep
Stop fiddling with clunky Apple Watch timers. Build complex, highly specific flows beautifully and quickly on your iPhone's large display.
Instructors are obsessed.
From reformer studios to rooftop bootcamps — here’s what teachers say after a week with Cadence.
“I used to teach with one eye on the wall clock. Now I get a little tap on my wrist and just flow. My students think I have a sixth sense for timing.”

“Forty-five minute circuits with 20 stations, and Cadence handles every transition. I haven’t touched a stopwatch in months.”

“The haptics are subtle enough that I keep cueing breath without breaking pace. It has genuinely made my classes better.”

Got questions?
Everything you need to know about teaching with Cadence.
Nope! Once you hit "Sync to Watch" in the locker room, the entire flow is transferred to your Apple Watch. You can leave your phone entirely outside the studio, eliminating distractions and ensuring a completely disconnected teaching experience.
Not at all. In fact, it's the opposite. The haptic taps are entirely silent and physically felt only by you. Your clients won't hear any beeps or see you checking a screen. You will just appear to have perfect internal timing.
Cadence is built for watchOS 8.0 and later, which means it supports Apple Watch Series 3 and newer. For the best haptic experience, we recommend Series 6 or newer.
"The best Pilates classes feel like magic. The transitions are seamless, the energy is focused, and the instructor is completely present in the room."
Make that magic effortless with Cadence.
