HYBRD

TL;DR

HYBRD is Strava for elite athletes who do more than just cardio. We’re ex-WHOOP, ex-US national rowing team, triathletes/ultramarathoners, and we are building the app that we wish existed for us.

Problem

Athletes who train both strength and cardio lack a unified way to track and visualize their training. They track cardio with apps like Garmin, Coros, WHOOP, or Strava and log strength workouts with others like Hevy, Strong, Stronglifts, or even good ol’ pen and paper.

This fragmented tracking makes it difficult to train effectively and impossible to compete with friends who train in different disciplines.

Solution

First, HYBRD integrates with all leading wearables to pull in your runs, rides, and more.

Then, we make it really easy to track your weightlifting.

You can input your workout to our AI logger using text— or simply upload a picture of your training journal, a whiteboard from a CrossFit gym, or a screenshot from an app you already use.

Based on that data, we provide a holistic view of your strength and cardio abilities, normalized for age/gender/weight, and give you a single score (analogous to a chess Elo score) that you can compare with your training buddies.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be adding more detailed analyses and competitive social features.

Team

Three of our founders previously worked at WHOOP, each of us leading teams across product, growth, and analytics. Our CTO, Ruiters, was a senior technical lead at Amazon AWS.

We are all hybrid athletes ourselves—Mats was a member of the US national rowing team, and Shoe, Ben, and Ruiters have all completed Ironman 70.3s.

Each of us felt underserved by existing fitness apps— to the point where we tracked our workouts in Google Sheets— so we decided to build HYBRD.
