Hello, Is there a way to set the workout to move on automatically? If I move with the same speed as the animation I shouldn’t need to count and press next all the time.

Hello Florentina 
no this is not possible. Also because the speed at which you perform your excercises should vary and not always be the same as the animations.
Reaching for my phone to press next after each short exercise is really a no go for me. Will this be an option considered for the future? Otherwise, unfortunately, I will need to find another app for my exercise.

Hey Florentina 
It’s not likely no. As Anna mentioned it’s actually just not practical. The vast majority of training offered by the Training Coach is repetition based, and the number of reps that you can do in a certain time will vary greatly compared to the number of reps, let’s say Dorian could do in the same time.
Even the pace of reps for you will vary greatly within a workout. For example, your pace of pushups is likely to be faster in the beginning, than the pace in the very final round of a workout like the one offered by Achilles.

Hello I’m agree with Florentina, this is really not practical to touch the phone after each exercice. We should be able to choose time exercice or rep exercice.
Maybe an option with voice control may be the best solution.
Sorrly needed, tried this app for the first time and having to tap my phone for the next exercise wrecks the entire experience and momentum. Just let us say next step and we are done. Also if you pick a 20 minute workout, basic math works as a setting. Divide your time by the number of exercises. Both can be easily enabled settings.
Hi, this post is from almost a year ago and it seems the app works the same way.
Is there any way to automatically move from one exercise to another without going to the phone/ipad and click?
For me this is not practical at all and the one reason why I am not using freeletics, even if I have the annual subscription.
I agree it would be nice not to have to bend over for this, but I’d also be against making it automatic, since everyone should be able to go at their own pace.
I’m curious, just to understand your current process: do you do another type of workout, and do you track it in any way? If so, how?
Hi Sofia, I just don’t use Freeletics much, I use other apps (Fiit is my favourite, also Grokker and even Betterme)
I connect my ipad or iphone to the TV, so it is not very handy. The only way it works relatively ok is with the Apple Watch, as I can click on it.
I understand the ‘own pace’ need, but I prefer setting that pace beforehand and then follow the workout.
I am also curious how people use freeletics, having to count the repetitions and click on the mobile almost every minute
And those apps let you set the pace? Or you use your phone to move forward? Just curious, haven’t used any of those.
I personally used to bend over/squat next to my phone to go forward with Freeletics. Then since I got an Apple Watch I use that (not to say it’s worth buying it just for this feature, but since I have it anyway).
Fiit and Grokker are video-based (very good ones) with good (excellent in the case of Fiit) tracking features.
In Betterme, you can select the duration or each exercise beforehand.
Freeletics is good (much better than betterme), but has this big issue for me.
I just cannot understand why this feature is missing and let the user decide if it is right for him/her or not.
All interesting points. It was good to hear more details - thank you for sharing! I’m sure the team at Freeletics will consider them.
