Get an overview of all the strength training programs you have completed, and the status and fluctuation of important lifestyle factors like changes in body weight, waist- to- hip ratio, stress level and sleep level.
The Timeline will intuitively tell you where you need to improve regarding lifestyle and fatigue factors. The Timeline will also show if you have received guidance and assistance from a Personal trainer in a program

By comparing your results to the Program Designers’ Experience Bank, we can find out how well you responded to a specific program, compared to other strength athletes, like your Mirror Athletes. Your Mirror Athletes are those Strength athletes who resemble you the most by having the same gender, age, height, weight, waist to hip ratio, strength level and more.
In the Fatigue & Recovery section you can see how well you adapted to the program and how your fatigue levels varied from session to session and over time.
Read your exercise notes and get recommendations for further improvements.
Top Program Designs
People are different and respond differently to the same program design. The Program Designs identify the main structure of the program, in terms of intensity, training volume, frequency and more.
The Top Program Design table tells you which program and program design you responded best to, for each body part.
Calendar & Training Log
Download a desired program from a Program Designer profile to your Calendar. Log the sets on your mobile phone during the work-out with the help of an auto-regulation function that automatically adjusts your working load based on your current fatigue and energy level.
The green days in the Calendar are sessions you have completed, the red days are sessions you missed, and the blue days are upcoming sessions.
Workout Log
Track your progress on a set-to-set basis. The strength programs have an individualized kg load and built-in progression strategy or strategies. If you exceed the target reps or target reps to failure (RTF), the working load on the next set is increased, or vice versa. This allows you to progress at your own rate while having clear targets to aim for.
