AURAGYM · EXPLAINED

Your next set.
Your next step forward.

What do I tap? What do the numbers tell me? And how does the ghost work? See it right here, with examples.

01 · WORKOUT

02 · WATCH ONLY · APPLE WATCH & WEAR OS

Your phone stays
in the locker.

Plan your workout on your phone. As soon as the plan has arrived on your Apple Watch or Wear OS watch, you do your gym workout right on your wrist.

Beforehand on your phone: mark the workout in your favourites for today or schedule it in a split. Open the app on your watch and check that your exercises are shown.

The session is saved on the watch and synced with your phone as soon as a connection is possible again.

How your ghost follows your route

When running, the ghost comes from your watch. It starts automatically after about 100 m if you start at the same place and run the same route in the same direction. When cycling, the app recognises known stretches even in the middle of a ride.

The map shows cycling: your earlier rides provide the comparison values. On the shared stretch, the fastest matching reference counts. After a junction, the ghost lines up with the way you chose.

The comparison appears as soon as your path clearly matches an earlier ride. If there is no matching recording yet, no ghost gap is shown. The map explains the principle; the routes are an example.

04 · PLATE CALCULATOR

What goes
on the bar?

During your workout, tap the small button with the plate symbol and “KG” next to the weight. Then choose the bar and the plates you have. The app shows the loading per side.

Detail from a workout: the plate calculator button with plate symbol and KG sits to the right of 11.25.

Where to find it: in the weight field.

This small button opens the calculator.

The plate symbol with “KG” can be tapped. The calculator takes the weight you entered. In the app, the label follows your weight unit.

Try it now with 82.5 kg ↓

05 · GOAL

A goal you
can see.

Tap “Set goal” or the goal display. For strength training you set a weight goal; for other exercise types a distance or time goal. Optionally, add a target date.

06 · PERSONAL BEST · STRENGTH TRAINING

Your best.
Compared correctly.

A heavier weight and a higher set performance are two different things. AuraGym helps you put both in context.

Set 2 of the PB session80 kg × 10800 kg set volume

+7 %compared with last time

80 %of your best

Which session is your PB?

The reference is the heaviest weight you actually lifted in this exercise. At equal weight, the reps decide. Warm-up sets do not count towards your bests.

What do the percentages mean?

The same working set is compared: set 2 today against set 2 of the reference session. For strength training with weight, weight × reps counts. 100 % means the same set performance; more than 100 % means above it.

An estimated one-rep max is a separate figure. It is an estimate, not a PB you actually lifted.
