Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about SensAI Fitness and your AI-powered personal training journey.

Getting Started

How do I create a personalized workout plan using my fitness data?

SensAI is an app that creates personalized workout plans based on your existing Apple Health fitness data. You sign up, connect your Apple Health, and it takes care of the rest!

What types of workouts are best for my goals?

  • Fat loss: High-intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training, and strength training with moderate rest.
  • Muscle gain: Resistance training focusing on progressive overload (weights, bands, or bodyweight), using moderate-to-heavy loads.
  • Endurance: Steady-state cardio (running, cycling, swimming) and low-to-moderate intensity strength work with higher reps.

How do I track my fitness progress over time?

SensAI tracks planned vs. performed for every workout, logs personal records automatically, and shows performance trends with baseline comparisons. Your AI coach generates daily recovery summaries from your wearable data so you can see how your training is trending over time.

Workout Adjustments

What can I do to adjust my workouts based on my performance or recovery?

SensAI does this automatically. Your wearable data (HRV, sleep, resting heart rate) feeds into every training decision, and your program regenerates weekly based on what you actually did and how you recovered. You can also tap quick-action chips mid-workout like "Make it shorter" or "Add more volume" to adjust on the fly.

How many days a week should I train?

3–5 days per week works well for most. More days allow for split routines; fewer days usually mean full-body sessions.

What should I do if I miss a workout?

Just keep going. SensAI tracks planned vs. performed and regenerates your program weekly based on what you actually did. Missed sessions aren't just rescheduled — volume and intensity are recalculated based on where you actually are.

Equipment & Safety

Can I work out at home without equipment?

Yes! Tell your SensAI coach you have no equipment and it will build bodyweight programs from scratch — not templates. It supports Strength, Flexibility, Active Recovery & Mobility, and Yoga workout types, all with anatomical exercise illustrations.

How do I prevent injury while working out?

Warm up, use proper form, avoid excessive loads, progress gradually, and listen to your body.

How do I get guidance on proper exercise form or technique?

SensAI includes anatomical exercise illustrations with highlighted muscle groups for every exercise in your plan. You can also snap a photo of your form and send it to your AI coach for feedback. Start light to master technique before adding load.

How do I modify workouts if I have an injury or limitation?

Tell your SensAI coach about your injury or limitation — it remembers across all future sessions. Your plans will automatically avoid aggravating movements, and you can swap exercises mid-workout if something doesn't feel right.

Motivation & Consistency

How do I stay motivated working out over time?

SensAI tracks workout streaks, logs personal records automatically, and shows performance trends so you can see your progress. Your AI coach remembers your goals and keeps programming fresh by regenerating your plan weekly.

How can I track my workout progress?

SensAI's guided workout tracker logs sets, reps, and weights as you go — with rest timers, exercise illustrations, and heart rate zone tracking. It automatically detects personal records and shows performance trends with baseline comparisons.

How do I know if I'm getting stronger or just maintaining?

SensAI tracks your performance trends with baseline comparisons — you'll see metrics like "+8% above baseline" so you know exactly where you stand. It also logs personal records automatically, so you'll never miss a PR.

How can I stay motivated to stick to my workout plan?

Break goals into smaller milestones, celebrate wins, and keep workouts varied and fun.

Training & Technique

What's a good alternative to hiring a personal trainer?

SensAI gives you an AI coach powered by the same technology behind ChatGPT and Claude. It builds custom programs from scratch, remembers your injuries and preferences, adjusts based on your wearable recovery data, and lets you chat mid-workout to swap exercises or modify your plan. It's like a trainer who knows your full history and is always available.

How often should I change up my workout routine?

Every 4–8 weeks, or sooner if you plateau or get bored. Use the "remix my workout" feature in SensAI.

How do I avoid hitting a plateau in my training?

  • Vary exercises
  • Increase weights or reps
  • Try different formats (supersets, intervals)
  • Get enough rest

What's the best way to warm up before a workout?

Do 5–10 minutes of dynamic movement (e.g., jumping jacks, lunges, light cardio) and mobility work for targeted muscles.

How do I know if I'm using proper form during exercises?

SensAI shows anatomical illustrations with highlighted muscle groups for every exercise. You can also snap a photo of your form mid-workout and send it to your AI coach for specific feedback on positioning and technique.

Training Schedule

Is it better to work out in the morning or evening?

It's up to your preference. Choose the time you're most consistent and energized.

Should I focus on cardio, strength, or both?

Both are beneficial. Choose a mix based on your goals — cardio for heart health, strength for muscle and metabolism.

How long should a workout be to be effective?

20–60 minutes depending on intensity and goals. Quality matters more than duration.

What's the difference between strength training and hypertrophy training?

  • Strength: Heavier weights, 1–6 reps, longer rest.
  • Hypertrophy: Moderate weights, 8–15 reps, shorter rest, more volume.

Equipment & Resources

How can I work out effectively with limited equipment?

Use bodyweight and resistance bands, prioritize compound movements, and increase reps or time-under-tension.

What are signs of overtraining and how can I avoid it?

Common signs include persistent soreness, fatigue, poor sleep, and irritability. SensAI monitors your HRV, sleep quality, and resting heart rate from your wearable to detect recovery issues before they become overtraining. It automatically adjusts your programming when your recovery data suggests you need to pull back.

How do I stay consistent when I travel or have a busy schedule?

Tell your SensAI coach about your travel or schedule changes — it remembers and adapts. It can build bodyweight-only workouts when you don't have equipment, works offline so you can train without WiFi, and regenerates your program weekly around whatever time you actually have.

Training Structure

How should I structure a weekly workout split?

  • 3 days/week: Full-body workouts
  • 4 days/week: Upper/lower split
  • 5 days/week: Push/pull/legs
  • SensAI can automate this for you

Do I need to track calories and macros to see results?

Not always. Helpful for specific goals, but most people benefit from consistent training and general healthy eating.

How important is rest and recovery in my workout plan?

Extremely important. Muscles grow during rest. Include 1–2 rest days per week and listen to your body.
