    This is a known issue. The philosophy of the team was to have the player do one program at a time, just to be sure they won’t go too fast and get injured.

    Their philosophy is flawed.

    This is the lamest answer I have ever heard. It would be laughable, if it weren’t so infuriating that you think your customers are stupid enough to believe it. Just admit it’s a bug and acknowledge that you are going to fix it at some point.

    Maybe their philosophy should have actually made it into the documentation somewhere?

    If they are going to dump everyones progress when they are invited to "try something else" then maybe a warning message would have been nice?

    How about telling people why certain training programs are more open-ended and fluid than others so they could understand that?

    I know the feeling. I contacted Ubi after several failed attempts to use Your Shape website. I even tried updating my profile but that caused even more problems as the update didn't like my email address saying it was invalid. I queried this with Ubi but they never responded - perhaps they just don't like my email address!!! I don't see the point in advertising a product that is unusable. Even on Uplay all my other games are listed but not Your Fitness. Sorry for the rant but I am just irritated with Ubi.

    I side with the group that wants to be able to switch routines without losing progress. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand its only natural to want to "keep your work" so to speak, and of course the flipside is, its a bit in your face for the program to delete what you've worked for.

    OTOH I get the design philosophy - complete one routine at a time, then advance to a new one.

    What we really have here is a) failure to communicate - if YSFE merely EXPLAINED this - users would understand and there'd be less aggravation, and b) a fundamental design flaw - any seasoned programmer knows, if there is a limitation built into the program, don't allow the user the choice. If the program methodology is that you must finish a routine, then YSFE should not let you choose another routine. In the alternative, if YSFE is going to allow this choice, save the progress to date.
