How to use FitTech-AI

FitTech-AI interviews you, then builds a cautious 12-week plan around your goals, your equipment, your training days, and any injuries. This guide walks you through it, and shows exactly how to tell it what equipment you have so the plan comes out the way you want.

A planning tool, not a clinician
Getting started

Six steps, questions to a plan you trust

Nothing is saved to your plan until you review it and tap Apply. You are always in control of what takes effect.

1

Open the app & sign in

Go to app.fittech-ai.com, enter the beta site password, then sign in with your Google account (it must be on the invite list).

2

Answer the questions, your way

Pick the quick path or the full one, then answer: goals, readiness & safety, training days, equipment, food, and lifestyle. Free-text boxes are powerful, use them.

3

Generate your plan

Tap Generate my plan in the Builder. In under a minute the AI returns a 12-week draft (Week 1 detailed, the rest building from it) with a plain-language note on why it chose it.

4

Review, day by day

Read the whole plan with the day selector. Not quite right? Type what to change and Rebuild with these changes, safety limits always stay in place.

5

Pick a start date & apply

Choose when Week 1, Day 1 begins, then tap Apply. Your plan is saved and Today and Plan fill in.

6

Train & log

Follow Today, tick exercises, log your sets, add reference videos and notes, snap a photo of the machine console to fill the log, or ask the coach about any single exercise.

The interview

Answer honestly, the plan is built only from what you say

The interview adapts as you go. Multi-select where it helps, a tappable body-map for aches, and free-text boxes wherever detail matters. Anything the quick path skips is asked later, one question at a time, on the screen where the answer matters.

Readiness & safety, with a free-text box

Build your plan

Draft, review, rebuild, apply

Your plan is a 12-week programme in three four-week blocks. Week 1 is fully detailed, day by day; Weeks 2 to 4 build on it with a clear progression; and you build each later block yourself when you reach it, from the training you have actually logged.

Three ways to get a plan

You choose who writes it. Let the AI write it from your answers, which is what most people do. Write it yourself, picking your days and your exercises with no AI involved at any point. Or shape it and let the AI fill in the numbers: you say what each day is for, roughly how long it should be, and any movements you want in it, and the AI writes the sets, reps and rest around that.

All three end up in the same place: a draft you review before anything is saved. Writing it yourself makes no AI request at all, so it does not count against your daily limit.

Review the whole thing first

The draft shows every training day with a day selector, warm-up, exercises with coaching cues, cardio settings, and a cool-down. Read it before anything is saved.

Not quite right? Rebuild with changes

Type what you would like different, for example "swap step-ups for something gentler on the knees", "make Friday shorter", or "add more core work", and tap Rebuild with these changes. It rebuilds the draft applying your notes, while keeping every safety limit in place.

Start date, then apply

Choose when Week 1, Day 1 begins (today, or a few days out). Applying backs up any previous version and never overwrites completed history.

How the rest fills in

You do not wait for the AI to write all twelve weeks. Week 1 is detailed, then Block 1's Weeks 2 to 4 fill in automatically from it, with the numbers nudged up week by week and Week 4 eased back as a deload. Blocks 2 and 3 stay as numbered "Coming up" cards until you reach them, and then you build each one from your real logged training. Nothing is broken, it is meant to look light until it is your turn to train it.

Or write weeks 2 to 4 yourself

On the Plan page, each block offers a choice: Progress automatically, which is the behaviour above, or I write each week. Switching to writing them yourself copies across what is already there, so nothing is lost, and a week you have already trained is never touched.

Building a later block

When you reach Block 2 or 3, tap Build this block. You pick the focus and how long you want the sessions to be, and it is written from the training you have actually logged, not from your original answers. Clear this block empties it again if you want to start that block over.

Day-by-day draft review

Make it yours

Change anything, without losing what you have done

Write your own plan

On the Builder page, under the Generate button, tap Build my own plan. Pick the days you will train and where each one happens, then choose whether you write the sessions or the AI fills in the numbers. You get a draft to review, exactly as if the AI had written it.

Edit a single week

On the Plan page, Edit this week opens that week's sessions as editable fields: the title, the location, the warm-up, the exercises with their sets, reps, rest and how they should feel, and the cool-down. Changes apply to that week only, so fixing Tuesday does not rewrite the rest of the block.

Change your days

Change my days updates which weekdays you train on, and the rest of the plan is rearranged around it. Swap days moves one session to another day within the same week, and Swap exercises moves a single exercise between days that happen in the same place.

Switch things up for one day

Away from home, short on time, or just not feeling today's session? Ask for a different one for that day only. Your stored plan is not touched.

Anything you write is still checked

A plan you wrote yourself is checked against the health answers you gave. If something you wrote touches an area you told us about, the app says so, once and plainly. It does not stop you. You may have very good reasons, and it is a planning tool, not your physiotherapist.

Equipment preferences

Tell it what you have, and how you want it used

This is where plan quality comes from. In the interview's Equipment & locations step you set your location and fill in a couple of free-text boxes. The plan honours clear instructions exactly.

Where you'll find the boxes

  • Location: Home, Gym, Both, or Outdoors, this decides which boxes appear.
  • Home equipment: what you have at home (shown for Home / Both / Outdoors).
  • Gym equipment: what your gym has (shown for Gym / Both).
  • Workout preferences: a free-text box for scheduling and style, for example which days are home vs gym.

How to write them well

  • Be specific. Name machines and weights ("air bike, rower, treadmill", "adjustable dumbbells to 24 kg").
  • Say if you want everything used. "Use the treadmill, rower and air bike in every gym session" and it will.
  • Ease in if you want. "For the first 4 weeks only use X, then introduce more."
  • Set your own split. In Workout preferences: "Mon, Wed, Fri home; Tue, Thu gym."
  • Name movements and focus areas. List moves you want, and flag any injury to plan around.
Explicit instructions win. If you name the machines, movements, or the home/gym day split, the plan follows them exactly. If you leave it open, it chooses sensibly from what you listed.

The equipment step

Example setups

What you type, and what you get

Common setups across different goals and kit. Copy the wording, adjust it to your own situation, and the plan will follow it.

Home, back-focused mobility & strength

Location: Home · recovering from a back injury
You type: Home equipment
"Kettlebells, skipping rope, boxing bag, and bodyweight (push-ups etc). Please focus on movements that strengthen my lower back and improve mobility, for example: cat-cow, dead bug, marching, hip circles, shoulder rolls, hip hinge drill against wall, glute bridge, bird dog, box squat / sit-to-stand, push-ups, band work, side plank, hip flexor / hamstring / chest stretch, open-book rotations, supported split squat or reverse lunge, step-ups, calf raises. Main focus: lower-back strengthening (not 100% after an injury)."
You get
  • Home sessions built from those exact movements
  • Back-safe coaching cues on every exercise
  • Conservative progression that respects the injury
  • Warm-ups and cool-downs with real numbers

Gym, eased-in cardio

Location: Gym · build up on three machines first
You type: Gym equipment
"Gym has lots of equipment. For the first 4 weeks only use the rowing machine, treadmill and air bike, and build me up on those. Use all three in each gym session. After 4 weeks, introduce other equipment."
You get
  • Every Block 1 gym session uses treadmill + rower + air bike
  • A recommended setting next to each machine
  • Gentle, talkable-pace conditioning that ramps up
  • Other equipment introduced from Block 2

Hybrid week, home + gym split

Location: Both · you choose the days
You type: Workout preferences
"Make Monday, Wednesday and Friday home training (mobility + back/core), and Tuesday and Thursday gym (cardio, eased in with treadmill, rower, air bike). Use all three machines each gym session."
You get
  • Mon / Wed / Fri labelled Home, mobility and core
  • Tue / Thu labelled Gym, three-machine cardio
  • The exact split you asked for, day by day

Minimal kit, complete beginner

Location: Home · keep it simple
You type: Home equipment
"Just a pair of adjustable dumbbells and a resistance band. Complete beginner, prefer simple repeatable sessions I can learn."
You get
  • A simple full-body dumbbell + band routine
  • Low movement variety, easy to learn and repeat
  • Gentle week-to-week progression

Fat loss, gym, four days

Location: Gym · fat loss is the priority
You type: Goals & workout preferences
"Main goal is fat loss. I can train four days a week at the gym. I like a mix of weights and cardio, nothing jumpy on my knees. Keep sessions around 45 minutes."
You get
  • Four gym days mixing strength and steady cardio
  • Knee-friendly choices, no high-impact jumping
  • Sessions sized to about 45 minutes
  • Conservative week-to-week progression

Strength & muscle, upper-lower split

Location: Gym · full kit, four days
You type: Workout preferences
"Goal is strength and muscle. Full gym. I want an upper/lower split four days a week: upper Mon and Thu, lower Tue and Fri. Barbell and dumbbell focus."
You get
  • Mon and Thu upper, Tue and Fri lower, exactly as asked
  • Barbell and dumbbell compounds first, then accessories
  • Sets and reps that step up across the block
  • A Week 4 deload built in

Short on time

Location: Home · 30 minutes, three days
You type: Workout preferences
"I only have about 30 minutes, three days a week. Keep it efficient full-body, minimal faff, the same simple sessions I can repeat."
You get
  • Three compact full-body sessions
  • Efficient movement choices, little setup
  • A repeatable structure that is easy to learn
  • A little added each week

Travelling, bodyweight only

Location: Home · no equipment, on the road
You type: Home equipment
"No equipment at all right now, I travel a lot. Bodyweight only, quiet enough for a hotel room, nothing that annoys the neighbours."
You get
  • A bodyweight-only routine, no kit needed
  • Low-noise, small-space movements
  • Clear progressions as you get stronger
  • Warm-ups and cool-downs included

Coming back after a long break

Location: Both · easing back in
You type: Readiness & workout preferences
"I have not trained in over a year and I am pretty unfit. Please ease me in gently and build up slowly. Home mobility plus a couple of easy gym cardio days."
You get
  • A gentle on-ramp with low starting volume
  • Home mobility plus easy gym cardio
  • Extra-conservative progression
  • Nudges to add only when it feels easy
Logging & videos

Track sessions, and prep videos ahead of time

On Today

  • Tick each exercise to mark it done with a timestamp.
  • Log the details: per-set weight and reps, and for cardio the time, distance, calories, speed, and average heart rate. Set reps with the plus and minus buttons for a quick one-tap change, or type straight into the box. Add set carries your last set forward, so a repeat is a single tap and you only edit what changed, and it starts your rest timer. Distance and speed have a small unit chip next to the box, tap it to switch between km, m, and miles (or km/h and mph), and the unit is saved with the value.
  • Log the cardio finisher too when your day has one: pick the machine and enter time, distance, and calories.
  • Tag the weight type on strength movements (machine, free weight, resistance, or bodyweight) so your Progress pages can split your work properly.
  • Add photos of the machine console and the AI drafts the log for you to edit, filling time, distance, calories, speed, and heart rate. Images are read once and never stored.
  • Ask about this exercise opens a quick, cautious coach for that one movement, handy when the machine in front of you differs from the plan or you want a form cue. Attach a console photo if it helps. The chat and any photo are read once and never saved.
  • Rate how hard a set felt with the small + effort chip under each logged set. It asks plainly: how many more could you have done? Pick 6 (about four left) through to 10 (nothing left). It is completely optional, but it is the single most useful thing you can tell the app: when you next progress your plan from your logs, the AI uses it to decide whether to add load, hold steady, or ease off, which numbers alone cannot tell it.
  • Carries and holds log seconds, not reps. A farmer carry, suitcase carry, plank or dead hang is a weight held for a time, so those exercises show a Time (s) column with the seconds your plan prescribed as a hint, and the steppers move in fives.
  • Drop sets in one tap. After a weighted set, a Drop set button appears next to Add set. It repeats the set at roughly fifteen percent lighter, rounded to a weight you can actually load, and leaves the reps blank for you to fill in.
  • You choose how the weight moves. Tap Progression on any weighted exercise and pick one of three: set your own next target (including keeping the same weight), let the app add a fixed step automatically whenever you hit the top of the rep range at an effort of 8 or easier, or leave it to the AI at your next plan rebuild. Your target is waiting, pre-filled, the next time you train that movement.
  • Rest is timed for you. As soon as you log a set, a countdown appears underneath it using the rest your plan prescribes. Tap +30s if you need longer or Skip to move on. It keeps correct time if you lock your phone or switch apps, and buzzes when it is done.
  • Finish & log session locks the day so your history stays put, and marks it with a quick well done that shows your week streak, any new best you set that session, and when your next session is.
  • Your day at a glance. The top of Today shows an energy ring with your net calories for the day, split into food in, exercise out, and steps, plus bars for protein, carbs and fats. It is an honest balance of what you logged, not a score against a target, since the app never invents calorie goals for you. Tap it to open the full Calories page.
  • Log a usual meal in two taps. Under the ring, a Log again row shows the meals you eat most. Tap one and a small card opens with the calories and macros already filled in and the meal type chosen from the clock. Tap Save meal and you are done, and the ring updates straight away. Edit details takes you to the full form if something is different today.
  • Poor signal is fine. If your gym has no reception, your logging still works. You will see Saved on this phone, syncing when you have signal, which means the set is safely stored on your device and will upload by itself once you are back online. There is nothing to do, and nothing to re-enter.

Reference videos & notes that carry across

Add a reference video link and a saved note to any exercise. Tick "use for future occurrences" and it shows every time that movement appears, not just today.

Prep before the day, on Plan

Open the Plan tab, tap Edit videos & notes, and add links and notes to any exercise in next week or a later block. They will be waiting for you when the day comes.

Rearrange your plan

On the Plan tab, from the current week onward, use Swap days to move a whole training day to a different weekday (the session and its Home or Gym label travel together), and Swap exercises to move or swap a single exercise between two days in the same location (home to home, or gym to gym, so the kit is always there). Both draft the change first, carry your progression and saved videos and notes across, and never move a day you have already finished.

Reset any time. Settings has Reset my plan, which clears the plan and logs but keeps your answers, so you can rebuild without redoing the interview.

Change your plan as you go

In the Builder, Change my plan gives you four ways in: Add exercises (say what to add and where, Home, Gym, or Outdoors), Progress from my logs (rebuilds from your last four weeks of logged sets, cardio, and check-ins, applying sensible progression, and using your effort ratings where you gave them to decide what to push and what to hold), Ease off (dials volume and intensity down a little), and Custom change (describe anything, including remaking a whole day, for example "make Saturday a full body strength day").

You then pick which day to change from. Everything before that day, including today's session if you have already finished it, stays exactly as it is; changes apply from that day onward. Today's session is offered in the picker while you have not finished it. The draft shows a What changed summary and previews your next seven days so you can see the first changed occurrence of each training day; earlier sessions are marked unchanged. Nothing sticks until you Apply, applying backs up your current plan, and Settings → Plan history can restore any earlier version.

See your training history

The top of Progress leads with the number of sessions you have completed, then a grid of rings grouped by colour: orange for sticking to the plan, blue for the character of your training, green for food, and teal for your calorie balance. Tap any dial to open Training detail: every movement you have logged as its own card with your best, session count, and a trend line. Tap the tiles at the top to filter lifts or cardio, and tap a card for the full picture, a progress chart, your session history with notes, and PR badges on your best sessions. Where you have rated your sets, each movement also shows your average effort, so you can see whether the same weight is getting easier or harder over time.

Tidy up your library

In the Exercise Library you can delete a saved exercise you no longer want. If it appears in sessions you have already completed, the app tells you which ones and asks you to confirm, because deleting removes the saved video and notes for that movement. Your logged sets and the names on past sessions are always kept.

Tags the AI respects

In the Exercise Library you can tag each movement with a weight type and with the locations it belongs to (Home, Gym, Outdoors). When the AI changes your plan it places tagged movements only in matching sessions.

Interactive Today card

During a session

Everything Today does while you train

Start at the top

Start workout sits with the other quick actions at the top of Today and jumps you straight to the session. It only appears on a day that has one.

Rest timer

Logging a set starts the rest timer for you, using the rest written on that exercise. It counts down to a fixed finish time, so locking your phone or switching apps will not throw it off.

Sets, rounds and how hard it felt

Log each set with its weight and reps. Round-based work such as bag work is logged in rounds instead. You can rate how hard a set felt, or rate the whole exercise if you would rather not go set by set. Those ratings feed the next block you build.

Log from a photo

Photograph a machine console and the time, distance, calories and heart rate are read off it into a draft you check before saving. The photo is read once and discarded, never stored.

Know what is left

Warm-up, Exercises and Cool-down each carry a red, amber or green marker for how much of that part is done, and skipping something counts as dealt with. An exercise you have started but not ticked off carries an amber dot, so a half-finished session is obvious from the collapsed list.

Tell it when something is wrong

A thumbs up or down on anything the AI produced, with a reason, helps us fix the prompts. In Settings you can also let your last ten ratings shape your next rebuild. Ratings can never override a safety limit.

Food

Log food your way, and save the meals you repeat

The Food page is optional and scaled to what you asked for in onboarding, from simple plate rules to calorie and protein targets. Behaviour beats perfection: log what you can, when you can.

  • Describe it in words. Type what you ate, for example "2x 30g scoops of porridge, honey, a banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter", and tap Estimate with AI. It fills a draft with a name and calories, protein, carbs, and fat for you to check and adjust before saving.
  • Snap a photo. Add photos then Read photos breaks the meal into its parts, each with its own estimate, so you can remove anything you didn't eat before saving. Images are read once and never stored.
  • Type it by hand. Enter the name and numbers yourself whenever you prefer.
  • Pick the meal type each time. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack is not pre-selected, so nothing is logged under the wrong heading by accident. If the type looks odd for the time of day, for example breakfast at 8pm, the app checks before saving and you can still save anyway. Clear next to Save empties the form if you want to start again.

My meals

For the meals you eat often, save them once and reuse them in a tap. After any meal is filled in, whether by photo, description, or by hand, give it a name and tap Save to My meals.

  • Quick-pick. Your most-logged meals appear as Suggestions at the top of the food form, with a searchable Pick from My meals dropdown for the rest. One tap fills the whole meal.
  • Manage them. More → My meals lets you add, edit, and remove saved meals, and the same describe and photo tools live there too.
  • See your habit. The Progress page shows a food-days dial for the last seven days; tap it for a fortnight of meals, average calories and protein, and your most-logged foods.
Safety

A planning tool, not a clinician

FitTech-AI plans cautiously and will not push you through pain. It does not diagnose or treat.

Always consult a qualified professional about pain, injuries, or medical conditions. FitTech-AI does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Tips & FAQ

Good things to know

Can I install it like a normal app?

Yes. More → Add to home screen. On Android it installs properly; on iPhone, Safari only allows the Share sheet, so the app shows you the two taps to make.

Do I have to answer every question up front?

No. The quick path asks about a third of them and takes roughly three minutes. The rest are asked later, at the moment they matter, and you can skip any of them. The health and safety questions are in every path and are never skipped, because they are what keep the plan safe.

What languages is it in?

English, German, Turkish, Spanish and Portuguese, including this guide and the privacy policy. Change it from the flag at the top of any page, and the app and the website follow the same setting.

The app is available in English, German, Turkish, Latin American Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. Use the flag button in the top-left to switch at any time; your choice is remembered, and your plan is written in the language you pick.

My plan came out generic, how do I make it more specific?

Put detail in the free-text boxes: name the exact movements or machines you want, say if they should all be used each session, and flag any focus area or injury. Then use Rebuild with these changes to fine-tune the draft before applying.

How do I make certain equipment used every session?

Say so plainly in the equipment box, for example "use the treadmill, rower and air bike in every gym session". Each named machine appears as its own entry with a recommended setting.

Can I choose which days are home and which are gym?

Yes. In Workout preferences write your split, for example "Mon, Wed, Fri home; Tue, Thu gym", and the plan labels the days exactly that way.

Generation is taking a while.

A first plan usually builds in under a minute, and building a later block can take a little longer. If it ever times out, just tap the button again, it almost always completes on a second try, and a timed-out attempt does not use up your daily limit.

What is "Ask about this exercise"?

It is an in-session coach for one exercise at a time, on the Today card. Ask how to set a machine you do not recognise, how to translate the prescribed sets and reps to the kit in front of you, or for a quick form cue, and attach a console photo if it helps. It stays cautious with your flagged injuries, will not push you through sharp pain, and points you to a professional for anything medical. The conversation and any photo are never saved, and it clears when you leave the app.

The photo log or coach read a cycling machine wrong.

Some bike consoles cycle one display through several labels (speed, then distance, then pace) with only a small marker showing which is active, so a value can land in the wrong field. Type the active label into the context box, for example "showing distance now", and check the distance, speed, and heart-rate fields before you save. Everything is a draft you edit first, so nothing is logged until you confirm it.

I changed my plan but this week's session looks the same.

Changes apply from the day you pick in the "Change my plan from" step onward; sessions before that day are deliberately frozen so your history and current week stay intact. If you want today's session changed, pick the option marked "today" in that list (it is available until you finish and lock the day). The draft's What changed panel and seven-day preview show exactly where your change first lands.

Can I undo a plan change?

Yes. Applying a change always backs up your current plan first. Open Settings → Plan history and restore any earlier version; restoring is itself reversible, and your completed days and logs are never touched.

Can I add videos before the day arrives?

Yes. On the Plan tab tap Edit videos & notes and add links and notes to any future day. They carry across every occurrence of that movement.

How do I start over?

Settings, then Reset my plan. It clears your plan and logs but keeps your onboarding answers so you can rebuild straight away.

Can I move a whole training day to a different weekday?

Yes. On the Plan tab, from the current week onward, use Swap days. The session and its Home or Gym label move together, and you can apply it to just that week or the rest of the block. Finished days never move.

Can I move a single exercise to another day?

Yes, with Swap exercises on the Plan tab. You can move or swap one exercise between two days in the same location (home to home, or gym to gym), so the equipment is always there. Your saved videos and notes travel with the movement, and the change carries through the weeks that follow.

Why do later weeks and blocks look empty?

They are meant to. Week 1 is detailed, and Block 1's Weeks 2 to 4 fill in automatically with a gentle progression and a Week 4 deload. Blocks 2 and 3 stay as "Coming up" until you reach them, and then you build each one yourself with Build this block, written from the training you have actually logged.
