Tracking mode, load units, distance units, and smart load suggestions, all from one place.

Workout preferences controls tracking mode, load units, distance units, and smart load suggestions.
Tracking mode

Basic keeps the workout surface simpler. Advanced enables intensity targets, rest, tempo, percent-based loading, and smart loads. See Basic vs Advanced tracking.

Weight unit

Kilograms or pounds, for logging, history, and load suggestions.

Distance unit

Kilometres or miles, for cardio activity and history.

Smart loads

Uses recent training history to suggest a starting load. Suggestions stay editable.

Smart loads in practice

  1. Keep Advanced tracking on

    Smart loads depend on the Advanced workout model, so they are unavailable in Basic mode.

  2. Train normally

    Method uses recent logged work to produce a suggested starting load wherever it has enough context.

  3. Edit the suggestion when needed

    You can change the load before or during the workout. The suggestion exists to reduce setup friction.

Smart loads are suggestions only; every suggested starting load remains editable in the workout.
