Signing up for classes
Online sign-up in the flow web service
Club members need to have a Polar account to be able to sign in to the classes. They can create their accounts in the Polar Flow web service at flow.polar.com. When creating an account, the members can fill their personal information (gender, weight, height) which is needed to ensure correct calorie consumption calculation and training feedback.
Your club can be found in Community > Clubs. Search for a club by using any of the following search criteria: sport, club's location or free text search.
Members can choose a class to sign up for by clicking the class. They can cancel their participation in the class by clicking the class again. Members can sign up for classes through the web service up to one week beforehand.
