Thank you Sorent. Mickey from Enflux here.

Yes, these are some of the key components of the Enflux experience!

All data will be saved in the online platform so you can see your own progress over time and compete against your past performance.

We plan to introduce a community component as well, where you will be able to share workouts with friends and compete against them!
