Common Questions

How often should I update my fitness level?

Update your fitness level when:

• Workouts feel too easy or too hard
• You've completed a program and progressed
• You're returning after a break (may need to adjust down temporarily)
• Every 4-6 weeks to reassess your progress

Will changing my goal affect my current program?

No, if you're enrolled in a program, it continues unchanged. Your goal mainly affects:

• Daily workout recommendations (when not following a program)
• Meal plan recommendations
• New program suggestions

Can I change my dietary preference mid-week?

Yes, you can change your dietary preference anytime. Your meal plan will update, though recipes already planned for the current week may not change immediately. The change will fully take effect in the next weekly meal plan.

Do I need to update my profile to switch programs?

No, you can join any program regardless of your profile settings. However, having accurate fitness level and goals helps CENTR recommend the best programs for you.
