What a check-in is
A 30-second form where you rate soreness, mood, and sleep quality on a 1-5 scale, with optional notes. That's it. You can do it once a day from the dashboard.
Why the AI cares
When you generate a new routine, the AI looks at your last 10-14 days of check-ins. If you've been rating soreness 4-5 for three days straight, it programs lighter and more recovery-focused work. If you're sleeping poorly, it may reduce intensity. If you're feeling great across the board, it pushes harder.
This is the data most workout apps ignore. It's why PT Lab can adapt to how you feel today instead of blindly giving you the same workout regardless of context.
Filling it out
- On the dashboard, click Daily Check-in.
- Pick a soreness level (None, Mild, Moderate, High, Severe).
- Pick a mood (Low, Poor, Okay, Good, Great).
- Pick sleep quality (Terrible, Poor, Fair, Good, Great).
- Add optional notes — anything you want the AI to know about your state today.
- Save.
You only need one per day
If you already checked in today, clicking the button again lets you update your answers. The system keeps the most recent one.
Tip
Check-ins also count toward your daily streak. So do logged workouts. Either one keeps the streak alive.
