An intensity of fitness apparatus output can be customized for a user during a workout session. A user profile of the user may be accessed to determine a starting intensity value at which output is to be provided by the user's fitness apparatus. Based on this starting intensity value and on command data associated with a workout session, an intensity profile for the user may be determined (e.g., created), which is usable for controlling an intensity of the output of the fitness apparatus during the workout session. While media content featuring an instructor conducting the workout session is output on an output device, the user's device may send commands to the fitness apparatus to control the intensity of the output of the fitness apparatus in accordance with the starting intensity value and, subsequently, the intensity profile of the user.

A garment for stimulating venous return includes a woven textile, an electrode, and a sensor. The woven textile includes calf muscle portion configured to be disposed proximate to a calf muscle and a foot portion configured to be disposed proximate to a foot. The electrode is operably coupled to the calf muscle portion of the woven textile. The sensor is disposed on the foot muscle portion of the woven textile and is communicatively coupled to the electrode. The sensor is configured to generate a control signal in response to user movement. The electrode is configured to activate in response to the control signal.
