Review: I've been using a polar hrm for the past 8 months and found that by the time I have the hrm, phone, earphones & chest strap, I started to feel like somewhat of a transformer. I stumbled across the Wahoo running pack by accident and after some research decide to purchase it.
I used it for the first time this morning. I can't say enough good things about it. The chest strap is comfortable, the iPhone with adapter fits perfectly in the armband and is light and comfortable to wear.
I was surprised at the amount of information the Wahoo app provides. I have paired it with the 'mapmyfitness' app and the two seem to work well together.
I would never go back to using a watch style hrm after using the Wahoo running pack (unless of course I was doing something that wouldn't be suitable to have a phone ie swimming).
The fact that I can now just strap on my phone and have my music, hrm, calorie counter and gps all in one unit makes the Wahoo running pack invaluable in my opinion.

Review: The product sets itself up so easily; the most difficult part was just getting it out of the package! The instant pace and HR data are perfect for training; plus I have my music and phone with me. The GPS mapping feature is fantastic when running in an unfamiliar area. With map-my-tracks my wife can can follow my progress should I land in a ditch! Fantastic product.

Review: First of all, I love Runkeeper when paired with my iPhone. I've upgraded to Runkeeper Pro & Elite since I use it so often. However, I couldn't find a HR monitor I liked since I hate watches while working out. The Wahoo Run Pack is a great idea at a fair price, especially when compared to systems like the Garmin Forerunner and Timex Race Trainer. I previously owned a Polar HR monitor that I didn't use due to chest strap discomfort. Not so with the Wahoo strap, it's very comfy and doesn't ride down my chest while running.
Setup is super easy for iPhone, simply plug in the Fisica adapter, download the Wahoo app, make sure the HR sensor is recognized, & start working out!
I've tracked 10 activities with Runkeeper and Wahoo so far, I'm very satisfied with how the system works. It's great how many fitness tracking apps are compatible with this package, that is a big plus in my opinion.

As a multisport fitness buff I'm glad to have a flexible and comfortable HR monitor option that works with my existing training software. I plan to add a cadence meter to my tool bag once summer rolls around, it's great the Fisica adapt. is open to many different sensors. Thanks for bundling the run pack as a package, I'll be putting it to good use this year!

| Pros: |
Easy option to add |
| Cons: |
I haven't been able to figure out how to have it tell me my heart rate over my headset vs having to try to look at it on my arm. |

Review: This is a great option, as I hated the Garmin watch. You constantly have to charge the watch. Now with this heart rate monitor and the Iphone you are all set. Also the Iphone Runkeeper app uploads the data to the web automatically vs having to synch to your computer all the time with the watch.

Review: This thing was pretty simple to use. I inserted the key, put on the heart rate monitor, started up runkeeper and bam, saw my heart rate during my run. After the fact I bought the wahoo fitness armband which fits the key and the iPhone. Pretty easy solution!
