Starting a workout is pretty simple, hit the big play button on the home screen to start. After acquiring sensors and a quick countdown, you’re off. For members, you can also see the weather and temperature too!
But there are times when you might want more time, or less, or you might want to change from outdoor to indoor workouts, as GPS isn’t always available in the basement gyms. 
Customizing the Quick Start Countdown
- Choose the activity you want to set a custom countdown on
- Tap the gear icon to go to Activity Settings
- Tap Countdown Timer section under Preferences
- Set the value anywhere between 0 seconds and 6 minutes
Open Ended Starts – Outdoor & Indoor Options
Sometimes you want to just get all sensors acquired, be ready to go, but still not sure how long before you begin. Kids, teammates, your partner, all can effect the start of your workout. In this case, you may want to just have everything ready by launching, but not starting your workout.
- Choose the activity you want to perform
- Tap the gear icon to go to Activity Settings
- Tap Outdoor Workout or Indoor Workout (Indoor will not use GPS)
The workout will launch, but not start. To start, whenever you are ready, tap the Start button at the bottom.
Ending a Workout
Slide the heart button to the right, to the pause icon, to pause the workout. Then tap End.
Alternatively, double tap the pause icon, then tap End.
