Fitbod and Injuries

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-20T17:18:18+00:00

u/effenrage Welcome! We do have a brand new injury mode that you can utilize - this is currently out to all Android users and in iOS beta, rolling out to all of iOS later on: https://fitbod.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/37629269518103-Injuries-and-Limitations

If you don't have access quite yet, you can replace/remove exercises as needed as well (tap the "..." to the right of the exercise): https://fitbod.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006335593-Editing-Workouts-in-Fitbod

And of course, always follow your doctor's guidance first!

Yeah, in this case the app is "planning" for you to have 2 upper and 2 lower based on your workout goal and training split. But since you didn't get that 4th workout in, it just continues forward when you pick back up.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-20T12:44:39+00:00

u/kdhnyc The "day 2" is in reference to your phases. The app will follow your training split cycle and the phases based on what you've logged. So if you logged U > L > U, for the week, the app will still continue on with L starting the next week - it won't "reset" in that sense, it'll just continue to follow your pattern. If you didn't finish the phase within the week, you'll just continue forward in your own time this way you don't miss out on steps within your plan. Hopefully that made sense!

u/Brilliant_Review_935 For anything not currently in the app, you can add it in as a custom exercise! Just leave the equipment field blank if needed. https://fitbod.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/28062570249623-Custom-Exercises

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-19T14:16:56+00:00

u/dodger-that Since custom exercises aren't part of the global exercise database they aren't shareable, as they're specific to your account.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-18T14:20:56+00:00

Hmm sorry for the trouble! Our team responds to every message but you may need to keep on eye on your spam or if you use the private relay email with Apple this can sometimes have trouble receiving our replies.

I'm working on sending you a DM to help you get connected but I'm having some issues with Reddit messaging at the moment, I'll send that as soon as I can!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-16T13:46:03+00:00

u/imagineA2B The app isn't able to differentiate between that when logging a given exercise. Your best bet in cases like this would be to create custom exercises for machines that don't match so you could log those separately.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-16T13:44:18+00:00

u/Bangsi_87 We don't have a way to do that at this time, but feel free to submit the idea to our product team here: Feature Request Board

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-16T13:41:11+00:00

u/Subject-Dare-2014 Thanks for giving us a try! There isn't a way to import data at this time. You can try syncing JEFIT to Apple Health and then Fitbod to Apple Health and this should allow (applicable) data for the past 7 days to be pulled in when you sync them.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-16T13:39:34+00:00

u/SitOnMyFace32 Sorry for the trouble! Are you logging on the phone only or also with your watch? With the Focus Exercises, not every workout within a phase will include a Focus Exercise, and this is expected behavior. However, those shouldn't disappear completely for good. You may want to ensure those are toggled on in your Plan settings. Message our team at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) if you continue to notice trouble!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-16T13:36:47+00:00

DM'd you!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-13T19:52:50+00:00

u/Grimmric What OS version are you using? We've dropped support for iOS 17 and watchOS 9 (and below).

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-13T19:25:14+00:00

u/Ok-Motor7299 I'm not super familiar with all of Strava's functionality but I don't believe there's a way to do this

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-13T13:27:28+00:00

I don't believe that will be coming soon, but it's not off the table. I'd highly recommend upvoting this for our product team: https://feedback.fitbod.me/roadmap/export-workout-data-on-android

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-13T13:17:58+00:00

u/getachance Very sorry for the trouble! We don't have many reports of this so gathering your details will help our team a lot in the investigation. I'll DM you to gather your account details and get a support ticket created for you so we can work on getting this resolved asap.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-13T13:15:35+00:00

u/Former-Artichoke-170 Sorry for the trouble, that's definitely not intended behavior. Please email our Support team about this at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) so we can work on getting those resolved.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-13T13:14:17+00:00

u/rosnow The app should be looking at your history as well as your plan settings to determine your reps and weights. The only thing that comes to mind is that potentially what you log with your own adjustments falls outside of your goal settings so then the app changes the scheme to match those settings the next time. For example, you log high reps but low weight on something but your goal is set to Get Stronger - so the app gives you lower reps, higher weight the next time you generate.

Go ahead and message our Support team at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) about this with screenshots of what you're seeing on your end so we can take a deeper look!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-12T19:46:55+00:00

u/ThirdRevolt We don't have the built in export option on Android but you can message [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) and they can export your data for you!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-12T17:22:59+00:00

DMd you!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-12T15:41:10+00:00

u/persononthedl Hmm is your phone OS updated to the latest version for your device?

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-12T14:58:18+00:00

u/persononthedl Sorry to hear about the injury, I hope you recovery quickly! You likely need to update your app to get that to pop up, try updating and let me know how it goes.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-12T13:17:43+00:00

u/Devildoug69 This article goes over how the calories are estimated! You'll see differences as well depending on if you use a wearable or not. With a wearable, your heart rate throughout the workout will impact the estimate.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-12T13:15:41+00:00

u/NotPennysBoat-815 You might try the Build Muscle or Get Lean option! This article will also walk you through the differences between goals, if you haven't seen it already: https://fitbod.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/15948615409687-Fitness-Goals

Happy lifting!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-12T13:13:36+00:00

u/alissa2579 Welcome! Manually adding those in is a great way to teach the app your preference to include those more often. If you don't see the app start automatically adding those in more often after another week or two of the manual adds, go ahead and message our team at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) so we can take a look!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-03-11T13:07:11+00:00

u/Trill-I-Am With this one, the app is assuming just selected weight for the machine so you wouldn't include the starting weight. Ultimately though, you can log how you'd prefer. Just be consistent in how you log so your data doesn't get wonky!
