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.

💬 “The perfect mix of structured training, expert coaching, and just the right amount of friendly competition. Velocity’s session engine keeps you engaged, accountable, and pushing to new levels. These are NOT show-up-and-chill sessions—everyone brings their best!”
