Who is this for?

In-app recording is an option for participants who only have a phone and no fitness tracker. It also helps when your tracker doesn't support a particular sport. You can use it alongside any integration – recorded workouts show up in your activity list with the source YuMuuv app.

How to record a workout

  1. Open the Activities tab in the bottom bar and tap the green Record button.

  3. The recording screen shows your time, distance and steps as you go. Keep the phone with you – in a pocket or armband is fine. The arrow button shows your current location.

Good to know

  • Distance and location need the app's location permission. If you are asked for it the first time you record, choose Allow while using the app.
  • Steps are counted by your phone's motion sensor, so keep the phone on you while recording.
  • A saved workout cannot be edited afterwards, and a discarded one cannot be recovered – so check the summary before you tap Save.
