BlazePod Reaction Training Platform Improves Reaction Time And Agility For Athletes, Trainers, Coaches, Physical & Neurological Therapists, Fitness Trainers, Physical Educators (6 Pods)

This is a great device and made to high quality. The design, app, rechargability, carrying case are all well built and easy to use.There are two membership models offered to use the device: a basic free membership and a paid one, which costs $8.33/month to $14.99/month, and is too much and users are not allowed to create their own programs without paying for some version of the pro membership.I would be much happier with the device on a free basis and be willing to paid $4.99 a month for Pro to access social and advanced training features. The product at a basic level just doesn't have enough usage depth to charge such high monthly fees on top of high product costs.

The product works great, the app is easy to use, accomplishes everything advertised to do, and I want for them to achieve. Mainly I wanted to share that my experience with customer service was the best I've had to date. I had a small issue with the charging base pod, I reached out to customer service via email and received a response within minutes on two separate occasions, once in the morning and even at night. They mailed a replacement within days, which was a first for me.

So I initially really liked the idea of this product. If it worked as well as the videos show, it would’ve been great. Set up is a little wonky, and so were the drills though. It would not always replicate how I had it set up. And I know it wasn’t me, since sometimes it would run the drill correctly, and other times the lights would react differently with the same program I created. Also, sometimes pods would not detect the contact made, even though PLENTY of force/contact was made with the light portion. That was the least of my problems though. When I got my first package, one of the springs in the charging post was broken. That charging post would not come out, and would not make contact with the other blaze pods, and therefore that pod would not charge at all. I got a new/replacement kit from Amazon, and this time 2 of the 6 new pods had the same issue - bad charging post spring that prevented those devices from ever being used again after the battery wore down the first time. They came like this out of the box. I spent over a week going back-and-forth with blaze pod support trying to get them to replace the 2 broken pods. All I ever got back was an auto-reply or template-style email, asking me if I had any more information to provide. I explained each time that I had already provided pictures, receipts, etc. explaining the problem. No human ever contacted me. I tried to use chat and waited forever, and no one ever replied or emailed me back. I got tired of this game and returned the pods to Amazon for a final time. I have since tried to contact them and ask them if this design has been corrected on their current products. Still no answer from anyone. Attempted to use chat and I sit there for extended delays with no reply ever. STAY AWAY until they correct that design flaw and get their act together with their customer service!

Wow, these add a whole new dynamic to my exercises.From my 9 yr old girls team, to my college goal keepers, these are an incredibly useful tool.They work better if you are already a trainer, and have some idea of what you want to accomplish.Once I dove into the different modes, I started to program my own training activities, based on skill level.I hope to add my color changing light pods to my youtube page to help other coaches use these fully.Oh we stomp on these with cleats on and after a month still haven't broken one so... they are built well.

Awesome product my client love them . They do need to have WiFi or service in order to work on the Bluetooth device though . That’s the only downside I see to them . If you have small kids great to keep them busy and tired as well as athletes .

This is an amazing product. Use for my training, and also to play with my son so he can run around and develop coordination as well.

The Blazepod business model is criminal. You pay at least $300 for the minimum hardware only to realize you need to pay a monthly subscription to actually use it. The functionality provided without the subscription is an absolute joke, as you can't do very basic things. I believe the company is betting on you giving in and paying since you're already heavily invested.I got these pods as a present and was disappointed when I took the kiddos to the field to play. For the initial invest all you get is 4-6 plastic buttons that can be programmatically controlled to light up in a variety of colors in coordination. If this included the software to make this rather rudimentary hardware functional, I think the price, while still high, could be justified. The product itself is top-notch, but I can't see the value equaling the exorbitant cost for anyone other than professional trainers.*If anyone wants a business idea, selling this concept as a single package without a subscription would be killer. The demand is there, and this product could quickly be sold at a fraction of the cost. I'm honestly shocked Blazepods doesn't already have serious competition.

I liked the idea this product gave me . It was quite entertaining for all ages from children to adults. I give my blessings to thee.
