How it works
Oryx is designed to remove every friction point between “I should start running” and “I just finished my first workout.” Here is the full journey.
01
2 minutes
We ask 14 questions covering your fitness level, schedule, sleep quality, stress, past injuries, motivation, and running surface. No fitness test required. No pace benchmarks. Just an honest conversation about where you are.
02
Under 30 seconds
Our AI coach builds a personalized training plan from your profile. It selects the right plan type, calibrates starting intensity, and schedules workouts around your availability. Every plan includes rest days, strength sessions, and recovery weeks by design.
03
20–30 minutes
Open the app and see one clear card: what to do, how long, and how hard. Tap Let's Go and a 3-minute guided warm-up begins. Then audio cues walk you through each interval — walk, jog, recover — without you touching your phone.
04
30 seconds
After every run, we ask two things: How did that feel? And any discomfort? This data feeds the adaptive engine. Be honest — there are no wrong answers. Your plan adjusts based on what you report, not what we assume.
05
Automatic
Every Sunday, your plan recalibrates. Completed every run and felt good? We progress gently. Struggled? We hold. In pain? We regress. Missed most of the week? We rebuild. The plan breathes with you — never rigid, always kind.
06
Ongoing
Your human coach sees every run, every check-in, and every adaptation. They approve your weekly plan, add specific instructions (e.g., Keep jog intervals under 90 seconds until knee pain resolves), and generate AI-powered summaries that highlight trends, risks, and next steps.
Between runs
On rest days, the app still shows up. Stretch suggestions, hydration reminders, or a short tip. Your muscles rebuild on rest days — we make sure you know that.
Three 10–15 minute bodyweight sessions per week. Glute activation, calf strengthening, core stability, hip mobility. Video demonstrations. No equipment needed. Not optional — integrated into your plan.
Bite-sized articles and short videos on form, nutrition, injury prevention, and gear. Contextual: shoe advice appears after your first 50km, nutrition tips before your first 30-minute run.
Milestones
Milestones are personal, never comparative. First run. First week complete. First 5-minute jog without stopping. First 5K. Each one comes with a full-screen celebration and context: you stayed with the plan, and that matters.
The onboarding takes two minutes. Your first workout could be tomorrow.
