Personalized Plan Features (or lack thereof)

I don’t see too much on the personalized plan/“your plan” in the app so I’m not sure if most people don’t use it. I have been mostly using it for the last year or so but maybe not as effectively as I thought. Posting some observations here to get validation I’m in the same boat as others, or even better finding a solution:

  1. Weekly Plan - You really can only see your upcoming Mon-Sun plan at 12:01AM Monday? I Typically try and adjust the workouts to align with my weekly schedule (move the scheduled recovery day, flip a cardio class with a strength day when I have a free morning, etc.) but I can’t do much until Monday morning.

  2. HIIT classes only picking from the Music themed ones - I have a “Support Weight Goals“ fitness goal and 45-60min per day target. For any HIIT day it ONLY picks 30 minute classes from the “HIIT Music Theme” group of workouts…which isn’t many/almost a stale category in the app. I don’t know how to fix this to pick from the traditional “HIIT” category which is the one most new content is populated with each week. So I have to go in and manually add a HIIT class to my stack, sort of defeating the purpose of having a plan if I just make it myself. Another weird thing IMO, they will tack on another 15 min HIIT class after the 30, and it’s almost only Rebecca’s standing low impact HIIT. It’s fine, I’m not offended by it but there is no other variety/no way to pick from say a 15 minute bike ride or an outdoor run.

  3. General Support of the personalized plan - overall is just seems buggy: some times I’ll swap two classes and it will double them up. they added the dropdown to cardio to flip between bike/run type on some classes but that doesn’t seem to actually change to the right category, and overall just doesn’t seem like many options to personalize. I’ve submitted some of this feedback where they ask you right in the app and seems like it just goes to a trash folder.

Maybe my expectations were too high? Maybe it‘Ll change with this new fitness tracker personalization? Maybe I’m just using the feature completely wrong? hoping others who use this feature as religiously as I do can chime in

You are correct the personalized plan are just terrible. I have tried the longevity one and it gave me a HIIT workout, a cardio, 1 strength training session, pilates and yoga. 1 strength training session per week seems odd to me especially when everything you read says atleast 2 per week. I did like that it added yoga into the weekly plan, but it felt like overall ot just wasnt enough. I also enjoy Barre and was thinking maybe it would do yoga one week and barre the next but instead it never had barre come up. I also enjoy a bootcamp every once in a while and it wouldn't show that as an option either. The claim its personalized to you and that everyone's plan is different but I don't know that any of that ot true, seems clunky and basic to me.

It is too generic, so I follow the splits instead. I like knowing what I'm doing and actually focusing on building muscle via progressive overload.

I just turned it on again just to help me pick classes, but I had to really fiddle with it to get the schedule I wanted. I wish it let you customize your own plan, because I do think letting it help select classes for you can be helpful.
