Fitness that fits how you move
Capability-aware fitness is how Diorama adapts to the way your body, activities, and goals actually work, instead of assuming everyone is training like an endurance athlete. You do not fill out a disability questionnaire or a long intake. Diorama starts with sensible defaults, and the moment you tell it something that matters — that you use a wheelchair, that a movement is off the table, that your heart-rate readings run low, that you paddle or hike — it remembers that and applies it everywhere.
Imagine importing a hard wheelchair session and seeing it logged as "Other," your day marked red for zero steps, and the coach suggesting you "get your steps up." Now imagine the same session showing its real type and icon, your effort counted in pushes and active minutes, and a coach that already knows how you move and talks to you like it. That difference — an app that stops being wrong once it knows you — is what capability-aware fitness is about.
Why it matters
Most fitness apps quietly assume steps equal movement, heart rate equals effort, and everyone is working toward a run, ride, or swim. For a lot of people that is simply wrong, and being told you were "inactive" on a day you worked hard is discouraging enough to make you quit. Capability-aware fitness removes that friction: your effort is measured on your terms, your activities keep their real identity, and the coach never forgets what you have told it about yourself.
How Diorama uses this
Tell Ray something durable about how your fitness works — for example, "I use a wheelchair," "no floor work for me," or "my heart rate reads low because of my medication" — and Diorama saves it as part of your profile. From then on it shapes your daily movement view, your workout analysis, your weekly review, your readiness, and every coaching reply, not just the chat where you said it. Your workouts keep their real Apple Health type and icon (wheelchair walk, paddle sports, hiking) instead of being flattened to "Other," and movement can be measured in pushes, wheelchair distance, active minutes, or duration rather than assuming steps. You can also give a workout your own label, like "bird watching," and it sticks on top of the real activity type. You can review everything Diorama remembers about you, edit it, or remove it at any time.
Under the hood, the things you teach Diorama become durable, typed profile facts. A small set of "always-required" facts — like wheelchair use, an explicit movement limitation, or a preferred movement metric — are packaged into a protected block of context that is attached to every coaching request the app makes (chat, post-workout notes, readiness, weekly review, and workout personalization). Because that block is protected, it is never dropped to save space, which is why the coach stays consistent instead of "forgetting" between conversations. Ordinary preferences and equipment are remembered too, but retrieved when a task needs them rather than riding along on every request. Activity identity always comes from the standard Apple Health workout type, so analysis stays accurate even when you add a personal label on top.
Limitations
Diorama never guesses. Telling it you use a wheelchair changes language and which metrics it shows, but it does not assume anything about standing, transfers, or floor work — each of those is something you would teach it separately if it matters to you. Today the strength around this is tracking and understanding your training; generated or prescribed workouts that automatically respect every stated constraint are still being developed and are not promised yet. Everything you teach it lives on your device and shapes your coaching without becoming an analytics data point.
