April Trainingexplained.
Build a plan around your goal, experience, schedule and equipment. Review it before you start and make changes as you train.
How it worksBEFORE THE FIRST SET
A plan that fits your week
During setup, April asks about your goals and how you train. You can update these settings when your routine changes.
Your training experience.
Tell April how long you have trained so it can account for your experience when planning exercises.
The time you have.
Choose your training days and how long you have for each session.
Your equipment.
List the equipment you have at home or at the gym to help April suggest suitable exercises and alternatives.
How you feel today.
Your check-in and any recovery data you choose to share can help you decide whether to adjust today's session.
Injuries and restrictions.
Account for injuries, pain and any restrictions from a professional. Change or stop a session when you need to.
YOUR TRAINING PLAN
How the plan is built
April plans the week around your preferences. Your completed workouts and check-ins help inform changes to later sessions.
Plan the week.
Your goal and schedule help determine the training days, exercises and session length.
Choose exercises.
Exercises should suit your equipment, experience and restrictions. When replacing one, choose an alternative that works towards the same goal.
Set the reps and rest.
Each exercise includes sets, reps, rest and, where relevant, tempo.
Review your workouts.
Record what you completed, including partial sessions. Your results and check-ins help inform the next plan.
Adjust as you progress.
Recent workouts can inform changes to weight, reps, exercises or total work. You can adjust or stop a session at any time.
BEFORE YOU TRAIN
Use your judgement.
April cannot assess an injury, check your technique or know how a rep feels. Listen to your body and follow advice from a qualified professional.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about Training
Can April check my exercise form?
No. A demo shows the movement, but April cannot confirm that your own technique is safe or correct.
What if I do not have the planned equipment?
Update your equipment settings or choose a suitable alternative exercise that works towards the same goal.
What if I miss a workout?
Keep your record accurate, including missed or partial sessions. Future plans should account for what you completed.
Can I stop and return later?
You can minimise the session and return to your saved place. Check the exercise and set before continuing.
Is April a medical or rehabilitation programme?
No. It is a fitness and general wellbeing product. Use a clinician or qualified rehabilitation professional for diagnosis, treatment and return-to-activity decisions.
