FIT is built and supported by one person, so response times may vary.
Guided workouts
FIT guides five workouts. Each one has a setup guide before the countdown that shows you where the phone goes and how a rep is registered. You can skip the instructions once you know them.
Push-Ups
Push-Ups are counted by screen contact. Place your iPhone flat on the floor with the screen facing up, centered beneath your face so your nose can reach it comfortably. Lightly touch the screen with your nose at the bottom of each rep, then lift away. Each new touch counts once, and a held touch counts once. FIT registers a screen contact only. It does not identify your nose or any other part of your body, and it does not use the camera.
Squats
Squats are counted from device motion. Hold your phone upright against your chest, or keep it secure in a front pocket, then lower into each squat and stand tall. If you would rather count yourself, tap anywhere for each rep.
Sit-Ups
Sit-Ups are counted from device motion, using the phone-held-to-chest workflow. Hold your iPhone flat against the center of your chest with both hands, in portrait with the top toward your head, and keep it there. Sit up tall and stay still until the countdown ends, then lower all the way back and come up again. You can also tap anywhere for each rep.
Lunges
Lunges are counted from device motion. Put your iPhone upright in the same front pocket you use for squats, screen facing the same way, and leave it there. Stand still until the countdown ends, then lower into each lunge and return fully upright, alternating legs. Tapping anywhere also counts a rep.
Planks
Planks are timed holds, not reps. Set your iPhone down where you can see the timer, start the hold when you are in position, and end it when you come down. Only the time you actually hold is recorded, and you can pause at any point without losing the time already held.
Planned workouts
A planned workout is a session you build before you start: an exercise, a number of sets, and the reps per set. During the session the count runs down toward the target for the current set, with audio cues, and a rest timer sits between sets. Reps you do beyond the plan are recorded as Extra Reps rather than being added into the planned total.
When the session ends you get a summary with the set breakdown, your best set, plan reps against extra reps, active time, and total workout time.
Goals
You can set a target for each of the five guided workouts: a reps-per-set target for Push-Ups, Squats, Sit-Ups, and Lunges, and a hold length for the Plank. A combined tile shows where you stand across all of them.
Goals are reached from the Workouts tab. Tap a goal to see its current target and your best result, to edit the target, or to start that workout. Choosing Reset FIT Setup in Settings clears your goal setup and keeps your workout history.
All-Time Stats
Stats sits inside the Goals experience rather than being its own tab. It shows your streak, total reps, guided workouts completed, plank time, and your Personal Records for each exercise.
Total Reps excludes Plank duration. Total Reps covers Push-Ups, Squats, Sit-Ups, and Lunges. A plank is measured in time, so it is reported separately as Plank Time rather than being converted into a rep count.
Workout Calendar
The calendar sits below your goals and shows a month at a time. Select any day to see a summary of what that day held. Days with nothing logged show zero rather than disappearing.
Fitness Journal
The Journal is the record of what you did, organized by date. It holds your cardio sessions, your logged lifts, and your completed planned workouts, with times, duration, sets and reps, and the areas you trained. You can log a workout manually, edit an entry, or delete one.
Cardio
Cardio covers walks, jogs, and runs, with distance, pace, elapsed and moving time, and your route.
Cardio needs location access to measure distance, pace, and route. FIT asks for location while using the app and uses it only during an active walk, jog, or run. If location is denied, restricted, or turned off at the system level, FIT tells you which of those it is and how to change it in Settings. If the GPS signal drops mid-session, recording continues and distance resumes when the signal returns.
If a cardio session is interrupted, FIT offers to resume it, end and save it, or discard it the next time you open the app.
Lifts
Lifts records the weights you moved: an exercise name, sets, reps, and weight. Common lifts are offered as suggestions, and you can type any name you want. Lift history builds from the weights you add to journal workouts.
Weight Journey
Log your weight over time and set a goal weight above or below where you are now. Progress is measured as how close you are to that goal, so overshooting moves you away from it again in the same way falling short does. Reaching your target is the only way to be fully there.
You can view your trend over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or Lifetime, with your high, low, and net change for the range. A day without a weigh-in is left empty rather than filled with an estimate. You can switch between pounds and kilograms in Settings, and you can restart the journey from your current weight without deleting earlier entries.
Apple Health permissions
Apple Health is optional and read-only. FIT does not write or save data to Apple Health.
If you connect it, FIT reads the data types you authorize so it can display them in the app, such as steps, exercise time, walking and running distance, active energy, and heart rate. You can review, change, or revoke what FIT can read at any time in the Apple Health app or in iPhone Settings. Turning Health access off stops FIT from reading and displaying that data.
Widgets
FIT includes small Home Screen widgets for lifetime reps, this week, and this month. Add them the usual way: touch and hold the Home Screen, tap the add button, then find FIT.
Widget totals refresh when you open FIT or return to it, so a widget can briefly show the last totals it was given. The widgets read a small shared snapshot of totals stored on your iPhone. They do not read Apple Health.
Live Activities
An in-progress cardio workout can appear as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen on devices that support it. Live Activities in FIT are local to your iPhone. They do not use push notifications and nothing is sent to a server to display them. You can turn Live Activities off for FIT in iPhone Settings.
Notifications
FIT can send workout reminders on the days you have marked as Workout Days, at a time you choose. These are local reminders scheduled on your iPhone. If notifications are turned off for FIT in iPhone Settings, reminders cannot be scheduled and FIT will tell you so.
English and Spanish
FIT is available in English and Spanish, including the permission prompts the system shows you. The app follows your iPhone language setting; change it in iPhone Settings.
Your data, and what that means for support
FIT stores your workouts, goals, journal entries, and weight history on your iPhone.
- There is no account recovery, because FIT does not require an account. There is no sign-in, so there is nothing to reset and no password to recover.
- Deleting the app may remove locally stored FIT data. Removing FIT from your iPhone can delete the data it kept on the device.
- There is no developer-side backup and no cloud restore. FIT does not operate a server that holds a copy of your fitness data, so a lost or reset device cannot be restored from us.
- Depending on your iPhone and Apple backup settings, local app data may be included in Apple-managed device backups. Those backups are controlled by Apple and by your settings.
Reporting a bug
The more detail you include, the faster an issue can be reproduced and fixed. Please add the following to your report:
- Device model, for example iPhone 15 Pro.
- iOS version, found in Settings, then General, then About.
- FIT version, shown in the app’s Settings screen.
- What happened, a short description of the problem.
- Steps to reproduce, what you did just before it happened.
- Screenshot if possible, a picture often explains it instantly.
Privacy while you’re here
Your fitness data stays on your iPhone. Only include in a support email what you’re comfortable sharing. A screenshot and the details above are usually all that’s needed. For more on how FIT handles data, see the Privacy page.
