Xert Academy Sessions are a unique & interactive educational opportunity for Xert Users. When participating in an Academy Session, members will complete a group workout while simultaneously learning about how Xert works – directly from the Xert Team! Xert Academy will offer a variety of courses, with topics ranging from Fitness Signature & MPA to more advanced topics like signature decay settings & training periodization. You will find these Educational Sessions posted from Xert Academy on the Xert Sessions page with the “Instructional” tag. Hope to see you in an Xert Academy session soon!
—This week’s Xert Academy Sessions—
Mastering Xert 101 – Tuesday 23 Feb 2021 @ 16:00 EST (21:00 GMT)
Topics covered include: Fitness Signatures, Maximum Power Available, Fatigue & Recovery with SMART Intervals, & Breakthroughs!
We’re going to aim to have all the Xert Academy sessions recorded for playback on athlete’s own time (which I think will greatly help reduce the learning curve for new athletes on the system). For now, we’re encouraging athletes to join the sessions live and try the “Sessions” experience out.
Hi, trying to create a test group sessions. I’ve filled in all the details but when I click save I just get an empty grey box appearing and disappearing with no text. The workout doesn’t save in the session list. This is on an iPad.
One more question, on an iPad when joining a group session do you open the XERT app and connect all the sensors and select the group workout. Then you go back into the web browser and run the Session player?
Not sure about your first question (will defer to @ManofSteele) but the second one is easy.
2 hours before the scheduled session you can tap Join and the Session Player will open and display the session you have configured.
On the EBC/Android or iOS app the session will be listed when you start the app within 2 hours of the scheduled time. 30 minutes before start time you can tap Start to warm-up first. It’s recommend you do that in Slope mode at whatever % and gear works best for you.
When the session starts Mode will change back to AUTO and off you go.
Pretty slick stuff IMO.
Thanks, I think I’ve sorted it all out. Used a new Galaxy tab and everything worked fine. When saving a session it did the same thing but this time appeared in the sessions list. Maybe because I was now within 2 hours of the start time.
Figured out the audio issue (I’ll get zoom installed on that box AND check the login just before event for the zoom link). The call that came in = my finally bailing on today. Signed up again for next week. Also will try Chrome (?) next go at it/
Suggestion –
Link the workout titles in the Sessions list so you can click on them to view details in Workout Designer. Otherwise you have to locate the workout in the library to view the description or details.
