A simpler first day

Your coach now asks four short questions and builds a routine from your answers. Then a short tour and a Getting started checklist on Today show you around. The setup, tour and checklist are for people new to the app. Anyone can watch the tour in Settings → Help.

  • Welcome: The first screen has the logo, one line ("Weights that go up with you.") and Get started. I already have an account opens "Welcome back", where you sign in to get your routine and history back.
  • Setup: Your coach asks four short questions about your goal, your experience, your week (workouts per week and minutes per workout) and your equipment. You can skip any question, or answer it with your coach’s suggestion in one tap. Skip, at the top, leaves setup at any point and takes you straight to Today.
  • Review: Before your coach builds the routine, you see everything it will use. Tap a row to change it. Rows your coach picked for you say Suggested, and rows you skipped say Skipped. With Add more detail, you can add favorites, exercises to avoid and sore spots. Building takes about 10 seconds.
  • Your routine: "Ready when you are" shows your goal, workouts per week, level and focus, plus every workout in the routine with the first one marked. See my first workout takes you to Today. You can also create an account there to back up your routine.
  • Today: Without a routine, the Build your first routine card has Import plan, for a plan you already follow, and Start from a template. If you leave setup after answering some questions, your answers are saved and Today shows Finish setup. You can also find it in Settings → Help.
  • Getting started: If you are new, Today shows a checklist: Choose a routine, Try your first workout and See your progress in History. Each item ticks itself off, and the checklist disappears when you finish. You can also hide it.
  • App tour: A short tour stops at Today, Routines, Friends, History or Nutrition, and your profile. Tap Continue to move on, or Skip tour. Watch it again any time in Settings → Help → Show me around.

Fixed

  • New people no longer see the What’s new sheet about rest days, since their routine never had them.

Where to find it: If you are new, open the app and tap Get started. If you already use the app, the tour is in Settings → Help → Show me around.
