Question 1

Who is Dorsi for?

Accepted Answer

You're already training — gym, home, or both — and tired of being your own programming coach. You wear an Apple Watch. You want today's sets, swap-outs, and "that's enough for today" calls to just happen. If you're starting from zero with no experience, or you don't have a Watch, this isn't the right fit yet.

Question 2

How does Dorsi know if I should train today?

Accepted Answer

Dorsi reads several signals together — sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, and anything you share — to judge where you are today, and suggests whether to train and at what intensity. The more signals available, the sharper the call.

Question 3

How is Dorsi different from other fitness apps?

Accepted Answer

Most apps log what you did or hand you a fixed plan. Dorsi is built differently — it reads your body's signals, listens to what's going on in your life, and adjusts training as it unfolds.

Question 4

Do I need an Apple Watch to use Dorsi?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Apple Watch is required. The decisions Dorsi makes depend on reading your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate from your Watch. Without those, it would be guessing.

Question 5

Does Dorsi work without gym equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes — gym day, hotel room, or just floor space at home. Tell Dorsi what you've got and it rebuilds the session around it. The focus is strength + functional movement (barbell, dumbbell, machines, push-ups, pull-ups, body-weight squats), so HIIT classes and follow-along cardio aren't where Dorsi shines.

Question 6

Is Dorsi free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Dorsi is completely free during the beta period. Open the TestFlight beta directly from any page on dorsi.ai.

Question 7

How do I get access to Dorsi?

Accepted Answer

Dorsi is in TestFlight beta now. Click any "Open Beta in TestFlight" button on dorsi.ai to reveal the invite link — open it on iPhone, copy it for later, or scan the QR code from your phone.
