The Fitness App That Constantly Adapts to Your Life
Motion's smart goals-AI studies your patterns, understands your schedule, and automatically adjusts goals to match your reality. No manual updates. No guilt. Just intelligent adaptation.
Your Life Isn't Static. Why Are Your Fitness Goals?
Monday: New job starts. Commute doubles. Stress triples. Tuesday: Kid gets sick. Sleep disappears. Wednesday: Big presentation. Lunch skipped. Evening crashed. Thursday: Finally time to exercise! App says: "You're 15,000 steps behind schedule!" Friday: Delete app. Feel guilty. Repeat cycle in 3 months.
The problem with "smart" fitness apps:
- They're not actually smart - just calculators with notifications
- They pidgeonhole you into one of a handful of categories, that aren't right for your unique situation
- They don't learn and adapt over time, leaving you feeling stuck and frustrated
- They create you a "plan", but it never adapts if you're ahead or getting behind
- They don't take into account the complexities of your life, leading to unrealistic expectations and goals
What if your fitness app had actual intelligence?
Not just tracking numbers, but understanding patterns. Not just sending reminders, but knowing when you actually have time. Not just creating a plan, but fluidly adapting with your life, backing off when you're struggling, and pushing you when you're feeling pumped!
How Motion's Smart Goals Work
Historic Access from Day 1
From the first time you use Motion, we connect to your phone / smart watch / tracking apps, and analyze your personal historic activity data. This allows our model to get a really solid base understanding of your activity levels and habits, right from day 1.
There's no guessing, no silly quiz to to find out how active you <em>think</em> you are, and absolutely no pidgeonholes! Just intelligent goals tightly calibrated to your actual level, based on your historic data.
12 week window
After analyzing your data, we create a personalized goal for you for your first week. Using a 12-week window we compare your recent activity to your historic activity, so see how you're trending right now, and what you are capable of historically.
This 12-week sliding window allows us to keep up with changes in your life, but also intelligently "smooth" out any blips in the data. Say you got sick, went on a hiking trip, started a new job, or took a break, these exceptional bumps in the data won't disproportionately impact your goals.
Weekly Goal Updates
Every week, Motion re-analyzes your data, and adjusts your goals based on how you're trending. If you've been consistently ahead of your goal, we'll nudge it up a little to keep you challenged. If you've been falling behind, we'll ease up a bit to keep things achievable.
This means your goals are always in sync with your life, and you never feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Why Adaptive Goals Make Fitness Sustainable
Responds to Your Real Activity
Your goals adjust based on what you actually do, not what you hope to do. If your average changes, your goals gradually follow. No manual tweaking needed.
Never Too Hard, Never Too Easy
Goals stay in your sweet spot - challenging enough to push you forward, achievable enough to maintain. The system finds and maintains this balance automatically.
Grows With You Naturally
As you get fitter, your goals gently increase. Going through a rough patch? They ease up. It's like having goals that breathe with your life.
Protects Your Motivation
By adjusting to your actual patterns, you avoid the crushing feeling of impossible goals or the boredom of too-easy ones. Keeps you in the motivation zone, and progressing consistently, for longer.
Handles Life's Ups and Downs
New job? Sick week? Holiday season? Your goals adapt to these natural life changes instead of becoming another source of stress.
No Maintenance Required
Set it uponce, and let Motion do the rest. Unlike other apps where you need to constantly adjust settings, Motion handles the adaptation automatically based on your 12-week rolling average.
Frequently asked questions
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
How do Motion's goals actually adapt?
Motion uses a 12-week rolling average of your activity. If you naturally start doing more, your average slowly increases. If life gets busy and you do less, it gradually decreases. This creates goals that match your actual lifestyle, not some arbitrary standard.
How quickly do goals adjust?
Slowly but steadily. Your goals won't jump dramatically after one good or bad week. The 12-week window means changes happen gradually, giving you stability while still adapting to your patterns.
How is this different from just setting my own goals?
Setting the right goal for yourself when you start is almost impossible, without expertise and data. Keeping it updated regularly as you progress is even harder, Motion magically deals with that for you, and just gives you one simple number to worry about.
Does it account for seasonal changes?
Yes! Because the system looks at your recent 12 weeks, it naturally adjusts as seasons change. Your winter goals will reflect winter activity levels, summer goals reflect summer levels.
What happens when I'm sick or injured?
One bad week won't affect your goals much. If you need extended recovery, your rolling average gradually adjusts down. When you're ready to return, you're starting from a realistic point, not facing impossible catch-up goals.
How does this work with Motion's competitions?
Your adaptive goal becomes your 100% target for fair competition. Everyone's competing against their own adaptive baseline, so the person who pushes themselves most relative to their normal wins - not just the fittest person.
