FAQs
- Q: Does this checklist depend on my gym or goals?
- A: No. Everyone starts with the same list of 12 steps. It does not ask about your gym, budget or fitness level, so add your own items and remove the ones you do not need.
- Q: Are my ticks saved?
- A: Yes. Ticks are saved in your browser on this device, so they are still there when you come back. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
- Q: How do I start over?
- A: Press Uncheck All to clear the ticks and keep your items, or Reset to Default to bring back the original list and remove your added items. Clearing your browser data for this site also removes the saved ticks.
