How to Change Activity Status

Bevel lets you set your Activity Status to reflect your current condition, whether you are active, sick, injured, or on a break.

With Bevel Pro, Bevel Intelligence also uses your activity status when providing Insights throughout the day or when your status changes. This allows Bevel to deliver more personalized guidance and highlight Trends that matter most for your health, Recovery, and performance.

This article explains how to change your activity status, what each status means, and how the Sickness Detector works.

1. Open Bevel.

2. In the top left, tap your current status (Active, Sick, Injured, or On a Break).

3. From here, you can view and update your current activity state.

1. Select your new status: Active, Sick, Injured, or On a Break.

2. Choose the length of time to keep this status using the Keep Status options:

   • Until changed

   • Until tomorrow

   • 7 days

   • 14 days

   • Custom amount of time

3. Tap Save.

4. Tap Update.

Bevel updates your Activity Status and uses it to tailor status-specific displays, insights, and recommendations. Your underlying Strain and Recovery Scores continue to be calculated from your recorded activity, sleep, and physiological measurements.

• Active: You are training normally. Bevel calculates Strain, Recovery, and performance metrics as usual.

• Sick: Use this status when you’re feeling unwell. Bevel can adjust how it displays and discusses training guidance, and target Strain will be hidden for all activity statuses. Your Strain Score will still be based on recorded activity data.

• Injured: You are physically unable to train. Bevel limits Strain calculations, hides your target Strain, and modifies Recovery guidance accordingly.

• On a Break: You are taking planned time off from training. Bevel adjusts metrics to account for reduced activity and hides your target Strain.

On any Trend chart, the activity status is displayed along the x-axis.

Bevel includes a Sickness Detector that can prompt you to update your status if your tracked metrics fall outside normal ranges.

• If Bevel detects unusual patterns, such as elevated heart rate, reduced HRV, or abnormal Sleep, it may suggest turning on Sickness Mode.

• To enable it, follow the in-app prompt and switch your status to Sick.

This ensures Insights and Recovery recommendations are accurate while you’re unwell.
