# How does Smart Sets work?

### Team Athletes

If you’re training on our Volt app, you’ll notice in your workout experience: the Smart Sets feature. Cortex will periodically ask for your feedback and make adjustments to your training from set to set in order to give you the best workout possible. Just input how hard or easy the set felt and Cortex™ will adjust your workout in real time to push you to just the right level. The result is less guesswork and more accurate guidance throughout your workout.

*Note: If you are not being prompted to rate how a movement felt then it might be that your coach has not enabled Smart Sets. Connect with your coach for more information.*
