Key Takeaways Recovery is a number that decides your day, and REP puts it at the centre, delivered every morning before you choose how hard to train. Recovery is read from heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and sleep, measured against your own baseline. Get three scores every morning: Sleep, Recovery, and Effort. Benchmarked in testing against the devices this category is measured on, with heart rate correlation up to 0.999 against a Polar H10. Screen-free, subscription-free, 27g, up to 10 days of battery, calibrated for Indian skin tones. Worn by serious HYROX trainers and athletes, including Tom Saxena. The Noise REP Band is for people who want to train on more than instinct. Instead of logging what you have done, it reads the signals of your overnight recovery and gives you a single readiness score, with Recovery at its core, that tells you what your body is ready for before you have made a single decision about your day. No screen, no subscription, and light enough to wear. What a HYROX coach actually watches: Tom Saxena on training with recovery Tom Saxena has coached athletes for more than a decade, and his take on training is blunt. Most people only think about pushing their body, he says, and forget the part that actually delivers: results equal recovery. The logic is simple. When you push, muscle breaks down and the body goes under strain. Growth happens when those muscles repair, and that is when they come back stronger. Skip the recovery and you are not building fitness, you are setting up the next injury. That is where the REP Band fits into how he reads his own training. When effort runs high and resting heart rate climbs, recovery drops, and the band picks it up. If the Recovery score sits in the red, day after day, it is a warning sign that the body is not repairing. Overworked muscles start pulling others in to compensate, the joints take the load, and that is often where injuries begin. So his approach is to respect the number. When recovery is low, he keeps it light, mobility and easy work, until the score climbs back into the green. Then, and only then, does he take the intensity back up. At the HYROX World Championships in Stockholm, Tom put that approach to the test. In his own words, every training session and every recovery day had been leading here, and he had pushed hard, recovered well, and stayed consistent through the build-up, with the Noise REP Band as part of how he trained. He and his partner Anmol Raina crossed the finish line in 1 hour, 6 minutes and 24 seconds, a personal best. He carried the same approach into HYROX Delhi 2026. In the Pro Doubles he went quicker again, finishing in 1 hour, 6 minutes and 9 seconds, and in the team relay his side finished first in its age category, crossing in 1 hour, 2 minutes and 19 seconds. "Work with your body, not against it," is how he sums it up, and it is the exact principle the REP Band is built around. Effort is the easy part Every athlete already knows how to work hard. That part was never the problem. The problem is the morning after. Your legs feel heavy, but is that fatigue to train through or fatigue to respect? You slept seven hours, but did your body recover or just lie still? By the time you feel run down, your body has usually been signalling it for days. That blind spot is not effort. It is readiness, and it decides whether the work builds you up or breaks you down. Recovery, the score at the centre Every morning, before you decide anything about your day, the Noise REP Band gives you a Recovery score from 0 to 100. It answers the only question that matters at that hour: how much can your body take today? It reads three signals while you sleep. Heart rate variability, the small shifts between heartbeats that reveal how ready your nervous system is. Resting heart rate. And your sleep itself. Then it does the thing that makes the number mean something: it compares today against your baseline, not against an average. An HRV of 45ms or a resting heart rate of 60bpm means nothing on its own, but measured against your own history it means everything. The band learns your baseline over roughly your first week and sharpens from there. The Noise REP Band features Three scores: Sleep, Recovery, and Effort work together, so you always know what your body is ready for. Effort reads heart rate intensity against your own capacity, not steps and not calories, so a hard twenty-minute session outscores a ninety-minute stroll. Validated accuracy: Core signals are benchmarked in testing against the reference devices this category is measured on, with heart rate correlation up to 0.999 against a Polar H10 chest strap. Screen-free and subscription-free: No display to distract you, and every score is yours to see with no monthly fee to unlock your own data. Built for India: 27g on the wrist, up to 10 days of battery on a single charge, and calibration across the full Fitzpatrick II to VI range so it reads accurately on Indian skin tones. FAQ 1. What is the Recovery score, and how is it calculated? A daily 0 to 100 number showing how well your body recovered overnight, built from heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and sleep, all measured against your own personal baseline. 2. Does REP compare me to other people? No. Every score is anchored to your own history. The band learns your normal over roughly your first week of consistent wear, then reads each new day against it. 3. What are the three scores? Sleep, Recovery, and Effort. Sleep reads the quality of your night, Recovery reads your readiness in the morning, and Effort reads how hard your cardiovascular system actually worked. 4. How accurate is it? In internal validation, its core signals were benchmarked against gold-standard reference devices, including a Polar H10 chest strap for heart rate, with correlation up to 0.999. 5. Does it need a subscription? No. REP is subscription-free. Every score is yours to see, with no monthly fee. 6. Is it made for Indian skin tones? Yes. The sensor is calibrated across the full Fitzpatrick II to VI range. 7. How long does the battery last? Up to 10 days on a full charge. - Sraijan DwivediMarketing at Noise
