Getting started

Your first workout

From opening the app to your first finished workout.

Trainlike opens on the Train tab, and on day one it keeps things simple: if you saved a Starting Plan, your first workout sits right at the top under an UP NEXT banner, with a Start Day 1 button. A short checklist under it walks you through the rest: save your plan, schedule your first workout, and take your Day 0 photos.

Start it

  1. Open the Train tab.
  2. Tap Start Day 1 on the top card (tapping the card itself shows the routine first), or Start an empty workout if you would rather build as you go.
  3. Log each set: the weight and reps fields are ready, and a checkmark completes the set. The rest timer starts on its own.
  4. Tap Finish when you are done. You need at least one completed set to finish.

Any exercise you have never done before carries a FIRST TIME · HOW TO START chip. Tap it for a suggested starting weight, what to watch for, and the movement on video. On day one, that is every exercise, which is the point.

What happens after

The Workout complete screen shows your duration, volume, sets, reps, and exercises, plus any personal records you set. Your first Workout Insights generate on their own, on us: give it a moment and the grade, the evidence behind it, and your next targets arrive with a notification.

New to the gym?

For newer lifters, the checklist links a short read called Your first gym visit: quick answers for the night before and the walk in the door, plus Meet your muscles, a rotating body you can tap around to learn what everything is called.

Tip

Ended it too early? The finish screen has Finished by mistake? Resume workout.
