Basic Operating Instructions

The primary purpose of Gym Genius app is to provide an easy way to track your exercise sequences at the gym. The app allows changing the execution order during the workout session, and it also removes from the list the ones already completed. You can skip one activity if the machine is occupied and come back to it later.

Genius Wrist's website will also track your weight lifting volume, number of reps and number of sets per session. These statistics are available at Genius Wrist's dashboard.

Selecting your sport and display configuration

Gym Genius Workout Editor
You can define the label, sport, GPS, backlight mode, alert preferences (vibration, sound and on screen), display color and additional data fields for your workout. Some options are not available to all devices.

Downloading your setup into the watch

Every time you start the app or finish a workout the app will try to sync with Genius Wrist's website. You can also force a synchronization using the ONLINE SYNC option inside the app menu. The sync process requires a Bluetooth connection between your watch and your mobile phone.

Navigating the exercise list

To go back and forth the exercise list, use the up/down keys/arrows or previous/next gesture on your device (you may need to swipe up/down or left/right depending on your device model. refer to your watch manual).

By navigating the list the app will automatically pause your activity session.
Garmin: A blinking orange border will be on screen until you resume your session by pressing the start button.
Fitbit: The play button will blink to indicate the session is paused.

Executing an exercise

Each exercise has two parts, the active and the rest portion. For activities based on time, distance, steps, and calories, the countdown will begin as soon you initiate the exercise. For SET and LAP-KEY based activities, your interaction is required to alternate between the active and rest part of the training.
Advance to the next portion of the exercise using the LAP-KEY (Garmin) or LEFT-KEY (Fitbit).

To skip the rest portion of an exercise, just push the LAP-KEY (Garmin) or LEFT-KEY (Fitbit) during the rest timer countdown.

Garmin: For most of the devices the LAP-KEY and the BACK-KEY are the same physical button. If your device has separate LAP and BACK keys, use the BACK key. vívoactive 3 users must use the BACK GESTURE.
Fitbit: The LEFT-KEY is used to advance sets and skip the rest timer.

Exercise completion

After the completion of an exercise, it will be removed from the list so it gets easier to navigate the remaining list in an scenario you are not following the predefined order.
Requirements for completion:

  • Outside a repetition block: You must execute the active part of an exercise completely to conclude it.
  • Inside a repetition block: Repetition blocks a treated by the app as a single exercise, if you navigate out a repetition it will not be completed. The next time you attempt the repetition it will start from the beginning.
Skipping the rest portion of the exercises is always allowed, and it does not affect the completion criteria.

Workout Actions

The workout setup system allows the creation of series of actions.

During the exercise, every action will be recorded as a separate lap, and the workout will be automatically saved at the end of the last action.

It is possible to keep three workouts at once in your device. The site will allow you to configure many different workouts and you can easily swap the ones in your device, or you can put them in the training calendar so that the right exercise will be downloaded every day.
