FAQ
Can I set different units for different gym locations?
Yes. You'll need to update it manually when you switch locations. Just go to My Plan > Preferences > Units.
Can I use a hybrid system (e.g., lbs for weights, km for distance)?
Currently, Fitbod uses a single system for all measurements. When you choose imperial or metric, it applies to both weights and distance.
Will my past workouts update if I change units?
No. Previous workouts remain in their original units.
Why did my saved weights change after switching units?
Switching between lbs and kgs can cause rounding differences.
To correct this:
- Go to My Plan > Preferences > Units.
- Toggle between lb and kg twice (switch away, then back to your preferred unit).
- Tap Back to save, then restart the app.
