Sign up and onboarding

After you create an account, Brick walks you through a short onboarding flow. Each step collects what the coach needs to build an honest first plan — not a generic template.

Before you start

• You must be 16 or older.
• You will accept the Terms and Privacy Policy.
• Health-data consent is optional but required if you want wellness signals (HRV, sleep, resting heart rate) to drive readiness and adaptations. See Health data.

The onboarding steps

1. 1

   Consent — review data rules and accept required policies

2. 2

   Profile — name, units, experience, weekly hours, timezone

3. 3

   Connect — Strava and/or intervals.icu (you can skip)

4. 4

   Focus — race goal vs get healthier, sports, and venues

5. 5

   Race — add A/B/C races (or skip for a non-race focus)

6. 6

   Importing — history syncs and Brick analyzes your capacity

7. 7

   Assessment — review your dossier, calibrate thresholds, build the plan

Consent

Brick is explicit about what is collected and why. Required agreements cover terms and privacy. Health data is a separate, withdrawable consent — you can change it later in Settings → Account.

Profile

Units (metric/imperial), experience level, and typical weekly hours help the engine set a safe starting volume. Timezone keeps morning briefs and calendar days aligned with your life.

Connect

Linking Strava or intervals.icu during onboarding speeds up assessment. You can skip and connect later — including Polar, Wahoo, WHOOP, COROS, Suunto, Hammerhead, and FIT uploads. See Connections and sync.

Focus

Choose whether you are training for a race/event or getting healthier, which sports are primary vs cross-train, and where you usually train (indoor, outdoor, treadmill, pool, open water). This reshapes the weekly split. Details: Training focus and venues.

Race

Add races with A/B/C priority. Your A-race anchors the season. You can skip if your goal is not race-focused. More: Seasons, phases, and races.

Importing

Brick imports recent history and builds demonstrated capacity. Wait for the progress step to finish — the assessment is better when it has real data.

Assessment and first plan

You will see a coach-style assessment, then a calibration form for thresholds and schedule prefs. When you confirm, Brick builds your first macrocycle and opens the app with a welcome tour.
