Extend the max level past 10
Catherine Taft
I'm not completely sure what the point of the level in the workout/session is - it caps out at 10 which is achievable with pretty minimal effort. It makes it a little meaningless. There are some workouts that are genuinely challenging and I don't feel that I've earned max level, but I've still gotten it. I think that could be reconfigured. It seems to just acknowledge force currently but I'm not sure; punch force alone is not necessarily the best metric to describe your success in a workout, especially one that contains a lot of dodges, squats, and complicated combos.
Also if I'm scrolling through workouts and I see that I've only achieved a 6 or whatever in one, that stands out to me as something I should work on. If I have a 10 on all of them there is nothing to differentiate them.

level is only determined by the number of targets you hit. If you hit 90% of all targets you are level 10. punch force does not count at all.
I agree that this should be changed.

Adam Helbing: Hi Adam! Thanks for your feedback and this will be shared with the team to see how we can make this harder!
For a bit more information about how it works - you need to receive 90% of all the FitXR points for a class to get to level 10. You do gain FitXR points for successfully punches cues, but how many you receive is determined by how fast you hit each cue (e.g if you hit a target at 8.2 m/s you receive 820 points). This means the faster you hit each target, the more points you receive and the more likely you are to reach level 10.

Charlie FitXR: sry that can't be true. max points you get for hitting a target is 820 and points are counted by calculating punch speed x 100. That means that you would need to have at least 90% of max punch speed on average to reach 90% of points which is 0.9x8.2m/s = 7.38m/s. This is obviously not true, because people are reaching level 10 with averages of 3m/s or 4m/s easily, which isn't even 50% of all possible FitXR points of a class. (To verify simply check the myriad of screenshots in the FitXR Facebook group)

Charlie FitXR: I don't think I've ever not maxed out the level and I usually do so way before the end of the class. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose at all honestly - I don't even pay attention to it anymore. Given that there aren't necessarily that many ways to calculate a level, it seems like you should just increase the level cap. It would also be cool if it were somehow integrated into other things. As it is it's just sort of this pointless metric within the workout. Every workout I've ever done has a level 10 on it and it's like... okay? That doesn't tell me anything about how challenging it was or or anything.

Adam Helbing como que no cuenta la fuerza del golpe???? Claro que cuenta!!
