Understanding your wellness score
Last updated: May 12, 2026
What it is
When your coach has enabled a weekly check-in that contains questions about your sleep, stress, recovery, soreness or fatigue, Unbrokn automatically computes a 0 to 100 wellness score every week. The higher the score, the better you feel overall.
How it's calculated
The score is a normalized composite. Each relevant check-in question is converted onto a 100 scale, then the average gives your final score.
- Sleep: quality or number of hours.
- Stress: inverted (less stress = better score).
- Recovery: how rested you feel.
- Soreness: inverted (less soreness = better score).
- Fatigue: inverted (less fatigue = better score).
If a question is missing, the score adapts to the questions present. You don't need all 5 categories.
Reading your score
- 75 to 100: solid shape. Take advantage of hard sessions, this is a good window.
- 55 to 75: normal zone. Good load is possible, stay attentive.
- 40 to 55: fatigue. Avoid very hard sessions, favor quality over volume.
- 0 to 40: alert. Sleep, stress or recovery dropping. Tell your coach.
Trend matters more than the value
Next to your current score, Unbrokn shows the trend versus the previous 4 weeks. A stable 60 over a month is less concerning than a 60 falling from 80 in three weeks.
If your score drops sharply, your coach sees the signal on their dashboard and can adapt your load.
Automatic insights
At the bottom of your check-in, Unbrokn generates three short sentences based on your last 12 weeks. Examples: "Your sleep has been dropping for 3 weeks, that's the main reason for your low score.", "Your soreness has been improving since the start of the cycle.", "Your stress is stable, OK." It's a readable summary, not a prescription.
How to improve it
The wellness score isn't a grade to chase. It's a thermometer. Three levers have the strongest impact in the scientific literature:
- Sleep: aim for 7 to 9 stable hours. Regular bedtime matters more than raw duration.
- Life stress: what happens outside the gym counts. Work, relationships, degraded sleep.
- Active recovery: walking, mobility, easy outing between two heavy sessions.
What if I skip the check-in?
No check-in, no score. Simple as that. The score is computed for the weeks you answer. If you skip several weeks, the score shown stays the one from your last entry, but the trend loses reliability.
