Adding your equipment

Your equipment list tells Axial Fit what it may use when it builds your sessions. Change it any time from More, then Equipment. For a single day somewhere else, add gear for today only from Adjust today.

Change your saved equipment

Open More and tap Equipment. The page is called Edit equipment.
Tick what you can normally use at your saved training place. The list has three groups: Strength, Conditioning and Outdoors.
Fill in the details a ticked item asks for (see below).
Tap Save equipment.

Training at a gym? Tap Select typical full gym to tick a common gym setup in one go, then adjust any item.

Bodyweight is always available, so you get a plan even with nothing ticked. Only save equipment you can normally use there. Past workouts, check-ins and photos stay exactly as they were.

The details that matter

Axial Fit will never ask you to lift a weight you do not own, so a few items ask what you actually have.

Adjustable dumbbells: the lightest and heaviest setting, and the step between settings.
Fixed dumbbells and kettlebells: tap each weight you own, or type another weight and tap Add. Enter each weight once; a pair of each is assumed.
Barbell: the bar weight and the smallest change your plates allow.
Resistance bands: the levels you have.
Weight vest: whether its weight can be changed easily.
Jump rope: your current skill. Double-unders are never assumed just because you own a speed rope.
Pool access: adds swimming to your cardio options.

When you reach the heaviest weight you own on a movement, your plan says so and adds reps rather than weight you do not have. Add a heavier weight here when you get one.

Add gear just for today

At a friend's gym or a hotel with a rower? You do not need to change your saved list.

On Today, open Adjust today and tap Equipment.
Tap Add gear at the bottom of the list.
Tick what you have today.
Leave Just today selected, or choose Always to keep it.
Tap Done.

Just today is never saved. Today's session is planned with it, and tomorrow is back to your usual gear. Always saves the gear and opens the equipment page, so you can add sizes and weights once.

Leave something out today

If a piece of your usual gear is taken or broken, open Adjust today, then Equipment. Everything ticked is what you will use today. Untick what you cannot use and tap Apply. Your saved list does not change.

What changes when you add equipment

Lists of sessions only show what your gear supports. A session that needs a rower appears once you have one, saved or added for today.
Movements that need the new gear become options in Swapping a movement.
A new loaded movement starts with a short weight-finding ramp, unless you tell it your weight. See Saving a set.

If today's workout has to leave something out because nothing fits, the card says "Your plan uses what you have" and links to Edit equipment.
