The background sits behind every Gym+ screen. You can keep the screens plain, use the app's lines or put a photo of your own.
Step by step
On the Home screen, tap the adjustments icon at the top to open Settings. You can also get there from the Profile tab, under Settings.
Under General, tap Background. Next to the name you see the current background.
Choose None for plain screens or Lines for the background with lines.
To use a photo, tap Choose a photo and pick the image from your gallery. It becomes the background and shows in the list as Your photo.
With a photo, choose How dark it is: Soft, Medium or Strong.
Tap Done. The background changes right away.
