WurQ Gen 2 onboarding

This guide will walk you through onboarding, starting a workout, uploading your data, and reviewing your results.

- How to wear sensors

- Set up profile, choose correct wrist, dont change once selected

- Register and connect sensors

- Calibrate: place both sensors in the dock for 1 minute, follow calibration process on the app. Once complteted, sensors are ready to use!

Step 1: Complete Onboarding

Make sure your BLUETOOTH ON on your iPhone before beginning.  

When you first open your app you will be promted to make your account. Here you can input your name, username, height, weight, and other info that is required. Most importantly, you will need to choose which wrist you will be wearing your sensor on. Unlike our Gen 1 wrist sensors, you can now wear it on either wrist. But it is very important that once you choose a wrist, you always wear the sensor on that wrist. Switching wrists will result in faulty tracking. 

Next, turn on notifications and bluetooth

You will then be prompted to this screen, where you will hit the green "Get Started" button. This will direct you to calibrate your sensors. 

First, you will need to turn your sensors on. To do this, press and hold the button on the sensor for 3 seconds

Now you can connect, name, and calibrate your sensors. Once the sensors pop up on the screen, click them both and hit continue. This will prompt you to name them. Once they are connected and named, you will be able to calibrate.  After pairing once, the sensors will automatically connect for future workouts. 

Important: Do not pair sensors through iPhone Bluetooth settings. Always connect inside the WurQ app.

To calibrate this, place them in the dock for one minute and follow the prompts on the screen. It is important that until the app confirms that calibration is completed, the sensors stay put in the dock. Do not touch them or move anything that would cause the dock or the table its on to move as this could interrupt calibration.

Once your sensors are calibrated, you are good to start a session! Here is how to wear them properly. 

It is important that you wear the chest sensor in the middle of your body, just below your sternum and that it is tight enough so it doesn't fall off while working out. For the wrist, you must wear it on whichever wrist you choose, but it must always be the same wrist. The WurQ logo should be facing upwards. If you wear it upside down, or on the bottom of your wrist you risk losing your data. 

Now you are ready for your first session! Hit the Freestyle button at the bottom of the home page, or choose a program! Once you choose your workout, your screen will look like this. 

To charge your sensors, simply place them in the dock and plug it in. 

Step 2: Choose Your Workout (Freestyle vs Programmed WOD)

You can start workouts in two ways:

Freestyle WOD

Use this when:

• You are doing your own workout

• Your gym programming is not in WurQ

• You are doing strength, accessory work, or custom WODs

Freestyle lets WurQ detect movements automatically without needing a predefined workout.

Programmed WOD. 

Use this when:

• You follow Mayhem, PRVN, CAP, HWPO, or other supported programming

• You want to compare results and see where you stack on the leaderboard

• The workout is already built in the app 

You can create your own Training Program here

• Navigate to admin.wurq.io.

• Create a Training program and Name it. 

• Create WODs and add them to your Training program. 

You can open the WOD Details page to:

• See workout structure

• View leaderboard

• Check average timing and fastest timing. 

Step 3: Start and Stop Workout Logic

Tap Start to begin.

Important Start Logic

The workout timing officially starts when:

• You perform your first movement, not when the timer starts

Stopping the Workout

When you finish:

• Hold to Stop

• This ends the workout and begins the upload process

Step 5: Uploading Your Workout Data

After you stop the workout, the upload screen will appear.

You will see a progress bar from 1% to 100%.

Upload Phases

• 1–50% → Dowloading data from sensors to your phone

• 50–100% → Uploading data from phone to WurQ cloud

Once this reaches 100%, your workout will begin processing.

Step 6: Processing and Draft Results

After uploading, WurQ processes your workout and generates Draft Results.

In Draft Results, you can:

• Review detected movements

• Check reps and rounds

• Edit anything that looks incorrect

• Confirm workout structure

This step is important because confirming improves detection accuracy over time.

Step 7: Confirm Detection and Get Insights

After reviewing your draft results:

• Tap Confirm

• WurQ will finalize your workout

• You will then receive:

  • Workout insights

  • Movement breakdown

  • Heart rate by movement

  • Pacing analysis

  • Workload metrics

  • Performance trends

This is where WurQ turns your workout into performance data and insights.
