Reminders, many of which are uniquely tailored to your activity, serve to inform and motivate while helping you to establish healthy routines and behaviors.
OptimumU Health Score and Wellness Graph
The Health Scores are visualizations of your progress. They’re designed to give you a metric for your success, by comparing you, not to other people, but to yourself over time. It’s up to you what you want to analyze. Body fat? Mood? Sleep? Food quality? Steps? Exercise? We’ve got the data and we help you apply it to your decisions. Because if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
Behavioral Nudges
Nudges are personal reminders and notifications that are uniquely designed to keep you on track.
Sample Nudges:
- Savor the “good.” Most people notice the pleasure in special moments, like a birth or a vacation. Everyday pleasures, on the other hand, can pass by without much notice. Be mindful of those times too.
- Monitoring changes in waist circumference over time may be helpful, in addition to measuring BMI, since it can provide an estimate of increased abdominal fat, even when BMI remains constant.
- Community and environment matters. Even if you can’t move from where you live, you can live well where you move.
Fasting/Time-Restricted Eating
Time-restricted eating (TRE) may trigger some beneficial health effects, such as reduced fat mass, increased lean muscle mass, and reduced inflammation. We do not know everything about food and how it affects our bodies, but what we can say with confidence is that snacking after your last meal adds calories, and that can lead to increased weight. This TRE feature helps you stop the snacking. Please note - Fasting longer than 24 hours should only be done under the supervision of a health care provider.

OptimumU offers four different guided bodyweight workouts that allow you to choose your desired intensity. You select High, Moderate, or Low-intensity level, and decide between full body and targeted routines.

Gratitude Journaling
Happiness is something you create, and practice makes perfect. The gratitude journal encourages you to take a few minutes to reflect on all the good stuff.
Relaxation Breathing
These guided breathing exercises relieve stress, may ease pain and increases mindfulness. Better breath, better life.
Mood Trends
You know your mood can affect what you eat or whether or not you squeeze that workout in. But how does it impact other aspects of your life? When you’re stressed, do you have trouble sleeping? When you’re happy, do you have more energy? Does skipping workouts make you feel irritable? Use Mood Trends to gain more insight into why you feel the way you do.
Food Quality Tracking
You know that the food you eat has a significant impact on your health and wellness, but it’s not all about calories—quality is as important, if not more, than quantity. OptimumU helps you pay attention to the big picture, without the tedious tracking of every bite.
OptimumU Food Tracking helps you record the quality of your food and factors it into your OptimumU Score. Your food journal is also monitored, scored, and nudged based on your unique food choices. This helps you see the correlation between the foods you’re eating and other aspects of your well-being, such as sleep, activity, mood, etc.
Tribes
Tribes connect you to communities of people within the app who have similar fitness levels, goals, and interests. Because we’re better together.
Menstrual Cycle Calendar
Outsmart your PMS. Use the menstrual calendar to be ready for that time of the month and understand how your cycle impacts aspects of everyday life including mood, energy levels, food choices, sleep, and more.
Fitness Score Global Leaderboard
The OptimumU Leaderboards give you a fun way to challenge your friends and see where you stand within your Tribe(s) and within the global OptimumU community. We stress that comparing yourself to others is not always productive, but sometimes it can be fun.
