Joining a Club

Clubs is rolling out gradually to select gym locations.

• New users: 
  • Join during account setup by selecting your gym location. If your gym is available and has at least 5 active Fitbod members, the Club tab will appear after setup. 
  • Before entering, you'll confirm your display name. It defaults to your first name and last initial (e.g., "Ian P."), but you can tap Edit to change it to a generated anonymous nickname.
• Existing users: 
  • Club access is currently limited to new account signups during beta. We're working to expand access in a future update.

Leaderboard

Every club has a weekly leaderboard where you can track your ranking. The week runs from Sunday at midnight to Saturday at 11:59 PM in your club's timezone, and resets automatically. 

As you log workouts, you'll be ranked across two metrics:

• Volume: Total weight moved (reps × weight) during the week
• Workouts: Number of workout sessions completed

Every Monday, the previous week's top 3 finishers for each metric are announced in your club's activity feed and saved so you can always look back at past results.

Activity Feed

Your club's activity feed shows workouts as members complete them, plus weekly winner announcements every Monday.

React to posts with 👊 🔥 💪 ❤️ 👏 🏋️ or 👀 to show support. Tap an emoji to react, tap again to remove it. You can add multiple emojis to the same post.

Your completed workouts automatically appear in your club's feed. If you prefer to keep workouts private, you can leave the club at any time.

Leaving a Club

1. Go to the Clubs tab.
2. Tap Settings located under the club’s name.
3. Select Leave Club and confirm.

Once you leave a club, the Clubs tab will disappear.

Note: If you leave a club during this beta period, there isn't a way to join a new club at this time.

FAQ

How to Add an Injury or Limitation

1. Go to My Plan → Injuries / Limitations
2. Describe your injury or limitation in one of the following ways:
   • Type your own description, or
   • Select a quick option (such as Lower Back, Shoulder, Knee, etc.) to pre-fill the text box
3. Tap Get Recommendations
4. Answer a few questions to tailor your plan. Fitbod will then suggest which exercises to exclude and which to recommend more often based on your responses.
   • Tap Update Plan if you are satisfied to apply these changes to your future workouts
   • Tap the Back button (top left) if the suggestions don't feel right. This lets you adjust your injury description or answer the questions again for new recommendations

How Your Plan Adjusts

Once you update your plan:

• Exercises that could stress the affected area are excluded
• Alternative exercises that work around your condition are recommended more often

Example: If "wrist" is noted as affected, wrist-loading movements like push-ups may be excluded, while machine or cable presses with neutral wrist positions will be recommended more often.

Viewing Your Current Settings

Review your current settings anytime:

1. Go to My Plan → Injuries / Limitations.
2. Tap Current Injuries / Limitations. 
3. You’ll see a list showing:
   • The affected area
   • When it was reported
   • Exercises being excluded
   • Exercises being recommended instead

Marking an Area as Recovered

When you're ready to train that area again, tap Mark As Not Injured. Any exclusions or special recommendations tied to it will be removed, and future workouts will once again include that muscle group.

FAQ

Why is a Focus Exercise targeting a muscle marked as a limitation?

Focus Exercises are always prioritized by the algorithm, even if they target a muscle you’ve marked as a limitation. Injury and limitation settings don’t currently override Focus Exercises.

If you want to avoid training a specific area, remove any Focus Exercises that target that muscle until you’re ready to include it again.

Fitbod's Body Composition feature helps you track the metrics that matter to your goals and uses that data to improve your exercise recommendations over time.

What is body composition?

Body composition is the makeup of your body: fat, muscle, bone, water, and other tissues — not just your total weight. Two people at the same weight can have very different compositions, which is why it's a more useful picture of health and progress than the scale alone. Tracking it helps you see whether you're losing fat, gaining muscle, or both. These are changes a bodyweight number can hide.

FAQ

Getting your data into Fitbod

There are two ways to track body composition, and you can use either or both:

1. Sync automatically from Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android), including data your smart scale writes to those platforms.
2. Enter it manually in the app. No Apple Health or Health Connect connection required.

Syncing with Apple Health / Health Connect

To bring data in automatically, connect Fitbod to Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android):

1. Open Fitbod.
2. Select the Body tab.
3. Select the Composition tab.
4. Select Sync with Apple Health or Health Connect.

When you connect, you'll be asked which data Fitbod can access, split into Read and Write:

Read lets Fitbod import your data (including anything your smart scale writes to Apple Health / Health Connect). At minimum, enable Read for Weight, Body Fat Percentage, and Lean Mass.

• Body Fat Percentage
• Lean Mass
• Weight
• Height
• Heart Rate
• Workouts
• Body Mass Index (iOS only)
• Waist Circumference (iOS only)
• Date of Birth (iOS)
• Sex (iOS)

Write lets Fitbod send data back out, primarily logged workouts. It is not required to import or view your body composition.

• Workouts
• Active Energy
• Weight, Height
• Body Fat Percentage, Lean Mass (iOS)
• Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference (iOS only)

Note: The exact toggles you see depend on your platform. For example, BMI and Waist Circumference appear on iOS only, and BMR on Android only.

You can connect or disconnect anytime from the Settings menu.

Data Types

The metrics available depend on your platform. Weight, Body Fat Percentage, and Lean Mass are available on both iOS and Android. Others are platform-specific:

Body Fat Percentage (iOS & Android): The proportion of fat in your body compared to other sources of weight like lean mass or water. A vital indicator of overall health and fitness, affecting everything from athletic performance to long-term health risks. Fitbod's tailored workouts help you manage it by building muscle, burning calories, and reducing fat. Lower isn't always better — too little body fat can also cause health and performance problems.

Lean Mass (iOS & Android): The combined weight of tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments. A key stat for changing your body composition: increases in lean mass help with nearly any goal, from sport performance to general fitness to losing weight. Fitbod helps you build it through exercise variety plus weight and rep recommendations matched to your current capabilities.

Body Mass Index (BMI) (iOS only): An accessible metric for estimating body fat. Because it only looks at total weight and height, it doesn't distinguish between tissue types, so it can be inaccurate for individuals carrying a high proportion of muscle.

Waist Circumference (iOS only): Helps assess risk for obesity-related diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) (Android only): The energy your body needs for essential functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production at rest. Influenced by age, sex, weight, and body composition.

Adding or removing data manually 

You can add and update your Body Composition metrics directly in the app, with or without a synced connection. Fitbod also supports recording metrics beyond what Apple Health and Health Connect offer.

To add data:

1. Select the Body tab.
2. Select the Composition tab. 
3. Select All Composition Stats.
4. Select the stat you want to add information to. 
5. Tap Add Data. 

To remove data:

1. Open Fitbod.
2. Select the Body tab → Composition tab.
3. Select All Composition Stats, then select a stat.
4. Scroll down to All Recorded Data.
5. Swipe left on the entry you want to remove.

Note: Data you enter manually is stored in Fitbod and shown in your history (labeled "Manually Added"). It is not written back to Apple Health or Health Connect, so it won't appear in your scale's app or other connected apps.

Body Composition Dashboard

The dashboard goes beyond your base-level stats for a more comprehensive view of your health and fitness.

Before you sync, the dashboard previews your data points at 0% and offers the option to connect. Once data is flowing, whether synced or entered manually, it reflects your real values and tracks increases or decreases over time. Tap any data point to view your progress over a week, month, six months, or year.

To view it:

1. Select the Body tab.
2. Select the Composition tab.
3. Select a metric to view its historical trend.

Note: Fitbod doesn't calculate your Body Fat Percentage, Weight, Lean Mass, BMI, or Waist Circumference. These values come from one of two ways: imported from Apple Health / Health Connect, or entered manually in the app.

FAQ

Why is understanding body composition important?

Weight alone doesn't tell you whether you're losing fat or muscle. Composition does. It's often a better predictor of health risk than BMI, lets you track real progress when the scale isn't moving (e.g. losing fat while gaining muscle), and helps you set more personalized, realistic goals for weight management, muscle gain, or overall fitness.

Can my body composition data be imported from other apps? 

Yes, but only data that reaches Apple Health or Health Connect will sync into Fitbod, and only for the types you've granted permission to read.

Does connecting Strava sync my weight or body fat?

No. Strava only carries workout activities, runs, rides, and similar, not body composition. To get scale data into Fitbod, use Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android), not Strava.

What is the difference between composition and measurement?

Composition is what your body is made of. Fat mass vs. fat-free mass (muscle, organs, bone, water). Measurements are the specific metrics used to track it over time, such as body fat percentage, lean mass, BMI, and waist circumference.

Can I connect my smart scale to Fitbod?

Yes, indirectly through Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android). Fitbod doesn't connect to scales directly, but if your scale syncs to one of those platforms via its own app, Fitbod automatically imports your weight and body composition data (including body fat % and lean mass).

To set this up: 

• iOS: Connect your scale's app to Apple Health, then in Apple Health > Profile > Privacy > Apps > Fitbod, enable Read access for Weight, Body Fat Percentage, and Lean Body Mass.
• Android: Connect your scale's app to Health Connect, then connect Fitbod to Health Connect (Settings, or the Sync button on the Composition tab).

If your device doesn't sync to Apple Health or Health Connect (some in-gym analyzers and body scanners only produce a report), you can still enter the data manually using the steps above.

Pregnancy is beautiful and transformative, but it can take a toll on the body and mind. Maintaining a fitness routine can help with both.

Tracking Recovery from Imported Workouts

Muscle Recovery in Fitbod

Regular physical activity delivers a wide range of health benefits. But sustainable progress relies not just on consistent effort but also on adequate recovery. Muscle recovery plays an important role in performance, adaptation, and injury prevention.

Fitbod helps you manage this by tracking the recovery status of individual muscle groups based on your logged workouts. This information is then used to guide your next workout, promoting balanced training while giving fatigued muscles the time they need to recover.

Understanding Muscle Recovery Percentages

When you log an exercise, Fitbod looks at the sets, reps, and weight of exercises performed to estimate how much each muscle group was worked. After you finish your workout, you can view a heat map showing which muscles were used and how much they were impacted.

Each muscle group gets a recovery percentage from 0% to 100%, based on how much it was trained. Muscles are considered fully recovered after six days, unless other factors affect that timeline.

If you’ve entered your body stats (like age, weight, or gender) or synced with Apple Health, Fitbod uses that info to make recovery estimates more accurate.

Cardio exercises are also taken into account, especially when logged often, since cardio impacts muscle recovery.

Your workouts are intended to build around the muscles that are freshest, but you don’t have to wait for 100% recovery to train a muscle again. You can continue to work slightly sore muscles as long as you’re giving your body enough time to recover overall.

Fitbod won’t normally recommend exercises for muscles that are fully fatigued (0% recovered). However, there are some exceptions. For example, if all major muscle groups are close to 0%, or if you’re following a PPL split, chest may still be included if you're on a Push Day even if it hasn’t fully recovered.

1. Go to Your Gym Profile (top center of the Workout tab)
2. Scroll down to Select Muscle Recovery Percentage at the bottom

Tracking Recovery from Imported Workouts

When you connect Fitbod to Apple Health (iOS) or Google Health Connect (Android), workouts logged through other apps, like indoor runs, swimming, hiking, or rowing, can also impact your muscle recovery, just like workouts logged directly in Fitbod.

Each type of exercise has its own recovery profile based on which muscles are used. You can view the muscle targets by tapping on an exercise in Fitbod. For example, swimming works all muscle groups.

The longer or more intense the session, the more it affects recovery. So if you log a long run through another app, Fitbod will take that into account and avoid suggesting a tough leg workout right after.

Select imperial or metric units based on what works best for you and your equipment. This setting applies across all your exercises, with the flexibility to override weight units for individual movements.

How to Change Your Units

1. Tap My Plan. 
2. Scroll to Preferences > Units. 
3. Select lb or kg to switch between imperial and metric. 
4. Tap Done to save changes.

How to Override Units for a Specific Exercise

You can manually adjust weight units for individual exercises during a workout.

1. Start a workout and tap the exercise you want to update.
2. Swipe to select More.
3. Choose Kilograms (kgs) or Pounds (lbs).

Note: This is only available for weight-based exercises. Distance units cannot be changed per exercise.

FAQ

Can I set different units for different gym locations?

Yes. You'll need to update it 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:

1. Go to My Plan > Preferences > Units.
2. Toggle between lb and kg twice (switch away, then back to your preferred unit).
3. Tap Back to save, then restart the app.

Max Effort Day is a feature in Fitbod that helps you test and improve your estimated strength for a given exercise. On a Max Effort Day, you’ll see two AMRAP (as many reps as possible) sets added after your working sets. These workouts help the app recalibrate your performance and deliver more personalized recommendations.

Max Effort Days are automatically scheduled based on your exercise history and help you:

• Push beyond your previous limits
• Refine future weight, rep, and set suggestions

Max Effort Day / Frequently Asked Questions

How Max Effort Day Works

• Set 1: ~70% of your estimated strength
• Set 2: ~80%
• AMRAP Sets: ~90% of estimated strength — push for as many quality reps as possible

Estimated Strength is the projected 1-rep max based on your past workouts. It’s used to recommend weights, sets, and reps across your program. Learn more about Fitbod Metrics + Records.

How to Know It’s a Max Effort Day

On your workout screen or the exercise detail page, you’ll see a “MAX EFFORT DAY” label for any applicable exercises. You’ll also notice that the last two sets are marked as AMRAP (“+ reps”), indicating you should perform as many quality reps as possible.

⚠️ Max Effort Days are automatically generated, you cannot manually initiate one.

How to Hide Max Effort Day

1. In the Max Effort Day heading, select "..." icon.
2. Select Hide Max Effort Day.

Max Effort Day / FAQ

When should I expect Max Effort?

Max Effort Days are triggered periodically but won’t appear if:

• The exercise was last performed as a Max Effort
• You’ve never performed the exercise before
• Another Max Effort exists for the same muscle group in the current workout
• The exercise uses resistance bands
• The exercise is inside a Superset or Circuit

Can I hide (or turn off) Max Effort Day globally?

Not at this time. You can only hide it on an exercise-by-exercise basis.

Can I initiate Max Effort Day?

No, the app assigns Max Effort Days based on your training history and usage pattern.

Do the other exercises I've done during a workout affect Max-Effort exercises that are recommended later in the workout?

No — other exercises in your current workout do not change your Max Effort recommendations. However, Fitbod does consider your total training volume over time when generating future suggestions.

FAQ

I can't share my workout. Why?

If you're unable to share your workout, it likely contains a custom exercise (an exercise you created yourself). Workouts with custom exercises can't be shared because they're unique to your account.

To share your workout, remove the custom exercise from the workout, then try sharing again.

Why aren't shared workouts identical?

Fitbod tailors each workout to the individual's fitness level. Your partner will do the same exercises in the same order, but with appropriate volume and intensity for them.
