Kit guides / A plan for the day you actually have.

How Kit adapts your workouts

A missed session should change the next workout, not leave you chasing a calendar. Kit starts with what you actually trained and builds from there.

Keep training moving

A missed day does not have to turn into a broken plan. Kit gives you a practical next workout, so you can carry on instead of trying to cram the whole week into what remains.

Your programme stays a thread you can follow while real life changes around it. If you have missed a few sessions, see what to do when you miss gym sessions.

What Kit takes into account

Each workout starts from the routine you chose. Kit then plans the session around:

  • which muscles you have trained recently, and how much work each has had this week;
  • how often you actually train, compared with what your routine assumes;
  • the time you choose for today’s session;
  • the equipment you have, including the heaviest dumbbell or barbell you can load;
  • injuries, and muscles you want more or less work on;
  • what you have told it about earlier workouts: too long, too short, too heavy, too easy, already done, wrong muscle group, equipment unavailable, or injury or soreness.

If you turn them on, Kit can also use recent sleep and cardio from Apple Health or Health Connect, and how busy your calendar is. Both are optional, and Kit works without them.

An example: you last trained back five days ago and legs two days ago, and you have 40 minutes. Kit leads with a back exercise and fits the session into about 40 minutes, rather than repeating legs because the calendar says so.

Make the workout fit your day

Choose the time you have and keep your equipment settings up to date. Your workout is a starting point you can make your own.

The time shown is an estimate, so you can still edit the session when life gets in the way.

Tell Kit how it felt

After a workout, rate its difficulty and leave feedback where it helps. You can also record why you skipped or swapped an exercise, so future workouts can be more useful.

Be specific: “too long” and “my shoulder felt uncomfortable” describe different problems. You remain in control of the exercises, sets, reps and weights in the next session.

What happens without a connection?

You can keep logging and reviewing your training when your connection drops. Kit still prepares your next workout without one, from what you have logged on your phone.

Try it in Kit

  1. Open Today and choose how much time you have.
  2. Get a workout, then review and make any changes you need.
  3. Log what you actually complete.
  4. Leave feedback at the end to make future workouts more useful.

Every workout starts from the routine you chose, and stays yours to shape.
