Caliber 4.0.0 - Workout Library, Nutrition Targets, Updated Plans Screen UX/UI
Here's what's new in version 4.0.0 đ
Â
New Features:
Â
Workout Library đ
As we mentioned in last weekâs post, weâve regularly had requests for a greater number and variety of workout plans that can be accessed in the app.
Â
With Workout Library, Plus subscribers will have access to a growing library of workout plans created by our team of Caliber coaches. You can add as many plans as you like to your account, and change them up whenever you want.
Â
To access the library, just go to the Plans section of the app, and tap where it says âBrowse Libraryâ.
Â
There are 2 different ways to use this feature, so let's cover both of them briefly:
Â
Featured Plans
In this section, youâll see a curated list of some of the different workout plans available, broken down into different categories. The categories themselves are pretty varied, grouping plans by experience levels, split types, body part focus, along with specializations like kettlebell focused routines.
All Plans
In this section, youâll see a scrollable list of all of the workout plans available in the library, which you can apply a variety of different filters to in order to narrow down the list.
Â
Youâll see filter lozenges at the top of the screen - Duration, Frequency, Equipment, just to name a few. Tap on these to apply a filter, and you can use any number of these filters in conjunction with each other.
When browsing workout plans at a higher level, youâll be able to see the name of the plan, a short description, the coach who created it, along with some other attributes.
Â
After you tap into a plan youâre interested in, youâll see a longer description, the equipment required, a preview of the exercises in the workouts, some tips, and the bio/credentials of the coach who created it.
Â
Once youâve found a plan you like, just tap âAdd to plansâ, and youâll then be able to see it on your main Plans screen.
Â
A few other considerations here:
- Once youâve added a plan from the Workout Library, you can modify it however you like - changing the name, adding/substituting exercises, adjusting exercise parameters, etc.
- The Workout Library also contains a number of mobility workouts. These are structured as single workouts that can be added to any of your main plans. When adding a mobility workout, youâll be able to select the workout plan that youâd like to add it to.
Â
Updates to the Workout Library
While we wanted to kick off this feature with a great selection of workout plans, weâre going to be updating this regularly with new workouts.
Â
We havenât yet decided upon the exact update frequency here, whether it should be a larger drop of new plans each month, or whether we should be even more regularly adding plans. This is something weâll figure out along the way.
Â
To help source ideas for our next set of plans, Iâll be making a separate post where people can leave comments for plans and upvote suggestions theyâd like to see.
Â
Nutrition Wizard
In the Plans tab, Plus subscribers will now have the ability to set up calorie/macro targets.
Â
If you choose to do this using the wizard, youâll be asked a series of questions, and weâll then set you up with some suitable targets, based around your goals.
Â
Alternatively, if youâre already working with calorie/macro targets - or want to modify the targets that the wizard gives you - you can enter and adjust these here too.
Â
In both cases, any synced nutrition data will now line up against these targets, displayed directly on the nutrition card on the Home screen, so that you can see how youâre doing for the day alongside your other logged activities.
Â
Other Improvements:
In addition to these new features, weâve made several other improvements to the app as part of this release:
Â
- Plans Screen Revamp. Youâll notice that the Plans screen itself has been entirely redesigned with a fresh UI and improved UX. There is a lot that you can do on this screen, in terms of managing your plans, so hopefully these changes will make it easier to do these things, while also making some of the functionality more discoverable for newer users.
Â
- Updates to Bottom Nav. We've restructured the way that the bottom nav bar works, so it should no longer slide around as you're navigating between different screens.
Â
Upgrading to Plus
While Plus has technically been available since Thursday, since today is the more official launch, grandfathered users of the free app will now see a widget on the Home screen with an option to upgrade.
Â
For the next month, weâre offering a special discount to all existing users who choose to upgrade to Plus:
- $6 per month (monthly plan)
- $36 per year (yearly plan)
