Onboarding

The guided first-run setup — a couple of minutes to get an account, a starter plan, and your watch ready.

What this page does

A short wizard, one panel at a time: account creation or sign-in, a check for any existing cloud data, your unit preference, a few questions about your training, a preview of the starter plan those answers produce, an optional watch pairing step, and (on Android) an optional Health Connect step.

Step by step

  1. Welcome — confirm you're 18 or older and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, then Get started.
  2. Your account — sign in, or create an account with an invite code from your invite email (BulkForged is invite-only during the beta).
  3. Checking for your data — if you're restoring on a new device, any existing cloud backup is found automatically; Continue picks it up, or Browse starter plans anyway starts a plan from scratch alongside it.
  4. Units — pounds or kilograms; changeable later in Settings.
  5. About your training — goal, experience, days per week, and equipment shape which starter plan is built for you. Skip — I'll build my own routines exits the wizard without one.
  6. Plan preview — see the routines your answers produced before committing. Starting weights are deliberately light: adjust what you actually lift during your first session, and the app adopts that as your new target from there.
  7. Watch (optional) — pair a Garmin watch now, or skip and pair later from Settings. Only Garmin is supported today; everything else works fully without one.
  8. Health Connect (optional, Android) — optionally share workouts and body metrics with Android Health Connect.
  9. DoneStart training hands you off to the Dashboard.

Good to know

Every step past account creation is skippable or revisitable later from Settings — nothing here is a one-time choice. Re-running the wizard from Training profile → Setup wizard → Open merges new answers into your existing profile; it never wipes out what you already had set.
