Adidas Go app for iOS matches the pace of your workout with a Spotify playlist

Love working out while listening to some heart-pumping music? Adidas and Spotify want to help you out with that through the Adidas Go app on iOS. You won’t just be able to listen to your favorite songs but it’ll match the tunes to the pace of your workout. The Adidas Go app looks through your Spotify listening habits and learns what kind of music you listen to when you exercise and then it’ll match that to the pace of your activity. For example, you’ll get slower songs if you’re running slowly as opposed to faster ones when you’re running at full speed. It also tracks your steps and shows you and related stats after your run. You can also save the songs you’ve liked to Spotify for listening at another time.

If you don’t have a Spotify Premium account, the feature will still work. But it will make use of your local music library instead of the online service.

The app has over 500+ tucks (fitness exercises) to choose from. There will be beginner and advanced descriptions as well as demonstration video from Joshua Lipsey in the app. You can also track your stats on the Gym Tuck graph and see which ones you can do better and which ones you enjoy doing.

But what sets this app apart is a method Lipsey calls BOYTAM or “Bet on yourself to achieve more.” This lets you bet on how many or how long you can hold a particular tuck for. This sort of starts an internal competition to help you overcome and even surpass your threshold. The app is available for free download on the iTunes App Store.
