Workout Reserve Now in Your Dashboard

Train smarter with Athletica's Workout Reserve displayed in your Velocity Dashboard!

This is truly a game-changer! Just imagine how YOU can make sure that you don't overdo your group sessions. We know how addicting points hunting can be, and it is easy to push it a little too hard. We are all about making group training sessions individual to YOU, and Workout Reserve allows just that. When your WR shows 0%, you know you've just reached a new PR. You can walk away from the session and know you'll recover for tomorrow's session. Because the next session is the MOST important session.
