YOUR TURN

Your first day

You’re Daffy D. Log on the tablet, watch the TV.

THE TABLET

THE TV

The fine print

For the people who want every rule. Everyone else, you're done.

How your spot is set

Two minutes before class, we run everyone's numbers through our algorithm to find the most efficient order for the room. It starts from your top set the last time you did the day's main lift. Never done it? It uses last phase's main lift on the same weekday. No history at all and it fits you into the middle.

Tuesday to Friday: three pods of people working at similar weights. Seats inside a pod are ordered so the bar only gets loaded up as you rotate, never stripped back down. Pods are shuffled week to week so few people start where they started last time.

Monday and Saturday: stations 1 to 10, moving up one each round. The order is planned the same way, so each station only gets heavier as people rotate through. Empty stations go where they save the most plate changes.

"new" means you booked after spots were set. A letter with no number means the TV wasn't on in time and a simpler backup picked your group. Either way, ask a coach.

Every target rule, in order

Built only from your own last session on that lift. The first rule that fits wins.

Never done it: no number. Find a weight for this week's range.
Fast day: same weight, top of the range, at pace.
Away more than 10 days: worked out from your estimated max. After three weeks away it eases off a little per extra week. Never more than one step from last time.
Last time was a grind: 3+ reps under the range, or "Grinder" without reaching it. One step lighter.
Step-up week and you hit the top of the range (kettlebells: two more): one step heavier, unless your last round was a Grinder.
Test week: if your estimated max says so, up to two steps heavier (one for kettlebells).
Anything else: same weight, one more rep than last time.

A step is the next weight you can actually pick up: 5 lb on a barbell, the next dumbbell, the next bell. Bodyweight lifts aim to beat last time by one rep. Distance work aims for a little more distance.

Privacy

In the app, open settings and turn off Show my numbers to others. Your name and spot still show on the board so you know where to stand, but your numbers read "Private". You're left out of the Today at EPOC feed, the end-of-day list and other members' rankings. Your lifts still count toward your own targets and the studio's daily on-target count. The "Leave the rankings" link under Where you stand in the app takes you straight to that switch.

Where you stand, in the app

The Progress app ranks you on the three lifts you've logged most in the last 30 days, against every member who did them and shares their numbers. Best set wins: heavier, or the same weight for more reps. You see your rank and the size of the list, never anyone else's numbers.
