Getting Started
SetSense is an AI-powered weight training app that creates structured, periodized training blocks rather than random daily workouts. Unlike other apps that just track your workouts, SetSense:
- Creates 4-12 week structured training programs with built-in progression
- Uses AI to personalize workouts based on your goals, equipment, and experience
- Automatically progresses your weights and reps week-to-week
- Follows proven periodization principles used by professional strength coaches
This systematic approach ensures continuous progress instead of the plateaus that happen with random workout selection.
Once you complete the setup questionnaire (about your goals, equipment, and experience), our AI generates your personalized training block in 1-2 minutes. You'll have your first workout ready immediately after that.
The setup process itself takes about 2-3 minutes where you'll tell us about your fitness goals, available equipment, training days per week, and experience level.
No! SetSense includes a wide variety of exercises that work with different equipment setups:
- Bodyweight exercises: Push-ups, squats, lunges, planks
- Dumbbell exercises: Presses, rows, curls, compound movements
- Barbell exercises: Squats, deadlifts, presses, rows
- Machine exercises: Cable machines, leg press, lat pulldowns
If the AI suggests an exercise you can't do with your available equipment, you can easily replace it with one of the many alternative exercises in our library that work the same muscle groups.
Absolutely! SetSense is perfect for beginners because it provides the structure and progression that beginners need most. The app will:
- Start you with appropriate beginner-friendly exercises
- Provide exercise demonstrations and form tips
- Progress you gradually as you build strength and confidence
- Take the guesswork out of exercise selection and progression
Many beginners see faster progress with SetSense than trying to figure out training on their own because the structured approach prevents common mistakes.
Most users see measurable strength improvements within 2-3 weeks of consistent training. However, results depend on several factors:
- Training consistency: Following your scheduled workouts
- Experience level: Beginners often see faster initial gains
- Recovery factors: Sleep, nutrition, and stress management
- Starting point: Your current fitness level
The structured progression in SetSense is designed to produce consistent results over 4-12 week training blocks, with each block building on the previous one.
Features & Training
A training block is a structured training program that lasts 4-12 weeks where you follow the same workout routine consistently. This structured approach provides:
- Consistency: Same exercises and workout structure each week
- Progressive tracking: Easy to see improvements in strength and performance
- Focused goals: Work toward specific objectives over the block duration
- Measurable progress: Compare week-to-week improvements
This consistent approach ensures you can track progress and build momentum, rather than doing random different workouts each session.
Our AI analyzes your profile information to create personalized training blocks:
- Goals: Strength, muscle building, or general fitness
- Experience level: Beginner, intermediate, or advanced
- Equipment: What you have available
- Schedule: How many days you can train per week
- Preferences: Exercise types you prefer or want to avoid
The AI then selects appropriate exercises, sets optimal rep ranges, and creates a progression plan that follows proven strength training principles.
Yes! SetSense includes both strength training and cardio exercises. For cardio, the app offers:
- Flexible tracking: Time, distance, heart rate, resistance, incline, and more
- Various formats: Running, cycling, rowing, bodyweight cardio, and machine-based options
- Progressive programming: Cardio sessions that get progressively more challenging
- Integration: Cardio sessions that complement your strength training
The app adapts cardio recommendations based on your primary goals and available equipment.
Yes, SetSense offers flexible exercise replacement options:
- This week only: Replace an exercise for just the current week
- Rest of block: Replace an exercise for the remaining weeks in your training block
- Smart suggestions: The app suggests similar exercises that target the same muscle groups
- Equipment-based: Replacements automatically match your available equipment
This ensures you can personalize your training while maintaining the structural integrity of your programming.
SetSense automatically tracks your progress and suggests improvements:
- Previous session recall: See what you lifted last time for each exercise
- Automatic progressions: Suggested weight increases based on your performance
- Performance analytics: Charts showing strength gains over time
- Volume tracking: Monitor total training load and progression
- Personal records: Celebrate new PRs automatically
You never have to remember what you did last time or calculate progression - the app handles it all intelligently.
