ANALYTICS COOKIES · VERSION 2

Cookie details

Functional, always on

The cookie that keeps you signed in, if you sign in, and the cookie that keeps your answer to this question, for 13 months. Neither goes to anyone outside Groundwork. The site cannot work without them, so they need no agreement.

Analytics, optional

  1. 1 · WHAT

    On the public pages: which pages you open, as addresses with no names, codes or numbers in them; the site you came from, never its address, or, if it was a page of ours, that page with no names, codes or numbers in it; and whether you ask for a place on the waitlist, never the email address you enter.

    In the web app: which pages you open, as addresses with no names, codes or numbers in them; the site you came from, never its address, or, if it was a page of ours, that page with no names, codes or numbers in it; and the campaign name, source and medium of the link you came by, if it had one. When you sign in or sign up, and with which provider where Groundwork knows it. The first-run steps you reach, and that you finished first run. That you opened the workout log and saved a workout, how many sets it had, and whether it was your first; that you messaged the coach; that you opened one of its cards, and which kind; which Settings area you open; and when you agree to analytics, answer the question on AI processing or withdraw your agreement to AI processing. Never what you write or enter.

    Everywhere: a random identifier kept in a cookie in your browser, your browser's language, and what kind of device and browser you use. Google's own tag also reports, by itself, when your visit starts, how many visits there have been, and how long a page is in use. If you are signed in, a pseudonymous identifier made from your account, never your name, email address or account number.

  2. 2 · WHO

    Google, through Google Analytics, under Google's terms for processing data for Groundwork. Google receives your IP address with each request. It states that for visitors in the EU it uses the address only to estimate a location, and then discards it. Google Analytics' advertising features are off.

  3. 3 · WHERE

    On Google's servers, which can be outside the European Union, including in the United States. Google keeps it for 14 months.

  4. 4 · WHY

    To see which pages bring people to Groundwork and lead them to sign up, which parts of the web app are used, and where people stop. Never for advertising, and never sold.

If you choose only functional cookies, the analytics cookies are never set and nothing is loaded from Google. The site works just the same.

You can change your answer at any time: under Cookie settings at the foot of the public pages and the sign-in page, or in Settings, under Privacy, once you are signed in. When you withdraw, the website deletes the analytics cookies from your browser and stops loading Google Analytics.

If you are signed in, your answer is also kept with your account and holds in every browser you sign in with.

If your browser keeps no cookies, or deletes them after a few days as Safari can, this question comes back.

The work

Yami answering a question about bench press progress with a twelve-week chart

Log every set.

One screen per exercise, one button to log. On your iPhone and your Apple Watch.

The rest timer counting down to the next set, the weight and reps for it, and the Log set button

Ask Yami.

Yami answers from your own sessions, with a chart when a chart says it better.

See it add up.

Every session shows the muscles worked, the load moved and the sets that counted.

A break is not a reset.

After time off Yami eases your weights, says why, and steps them back up as you hit your sets.

The gap isn't costing you ground, it's just being managed carefully.

A lock screen notification from Yami Kuro: Whenever you're ready, your next session starts lighter. There's nothing to make up.
Away a week or more? One line from Yami, at the hour you usually train. Besides your rest timer, it is the only thing the app ever sends.

No six-pack promises. Just the work.

By the old rule of thumb, how you look is 80 percent diet and 20 percent training. Yami stays out of your kitchen. Groundwork is the 20: a way in if you are new, a reason to come back, and a break from routine if you have lifted for years.

New to lifting?

Ask Yami what you would not ask in a gym. Miss a week and nothing is lost.

A beginner asking whether it is normal that the weights go up almost every session, and Yami answering that it is

Lifted for years?

When a lift stalls, Yami notices and offers a change. You decide.
