Why Students & Teachers Love It
The Classroom App makes fitness and wellness lessons more rewarding for everyone. Students feel motivated because they see their effort pay off during and after class, while teachers gain a clear view of progress without extra paperwork. The result is a classroom where every student feels supported and the teachers can maximize class time.
Students love the Spirit system because it turns effort into an immediate, engaging experience. Seeing their heart rate zones in real time makes PE feel like a game, and tracking their Time in Zone gives them clear goals to work toward. They enjoy competing against themselves instead of only comparing to others, and the scores and reports they can share with parents make their progress feel meaningful.
Our heart rate monitor app is just as valuable for teachers. You can set class goals and see who is meeting them, saving time and stress by eliminating manual grading and roster tracking. It also makes differentiating instruction simple, allowing you to encourage students who need extra support while celebrating those pushing themselves. Most importantly, it shifts the focus from talent to effort — every student can succeed and demonstrate progress.
