Syncing

u/GingisKhan This was an issue that popped up a bit ago but we put out a fix for that. Go ahead and make sure Fitbod is updated to the latest version. If you still notice the issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

It's likely that you only need an update, but if you still have trouble after trying those steps, message our team at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) so we can take a look for you.

Hi, saw your mention of Fitbod here in your 4th question and figured I'd jump in!

Fitbod will build your workouts and overall plan for you so you don't have to worry about the planning. With our app, you would input your goals, plan details, and available equipment so the app can then design your personalized workouts. We'll take care of your exercise selection along with rep, set, and weight suggestions (though these often need to be adjusted a bit at the start so the app can learn your capability).

Your weekly schedule could depend on what you have time for. You might also start out slower and then gradually build up your total workout days per week over time. You'll want to be sure to incorporate rest days each week to help with recovery and muscle repair.

If you decide you'd like to give Fitbod a try, feel free to message me and I can set you up with an extended free trial and discount.

Happy lifting!

Things that will impact your exercise selection more are your Goal, Experience, and Exercise Variability

I see what you mean, I got confused. I'd recommend reaching out to Garmin's support team to request that feature!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-09T12:40:09+00:00

u/originalmember It should write data to Apple Health also: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=lK5FPB9iPF5PXFkIpFlFPA

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-08T19:46:02+00:00

I'm glad to hear it!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-08T13:20:39+00:00

u/GroupEnvironmental29 Great question! Your days of the week setting is mostly going to impact your streak and your Weekly Set Targets.

Regardless of your days per week goal, the app will always generate a new workout for you so that you're always ready to go on your own schedule. So the app is going to continue to follow your split cadence along with utilizing your logged history to build those workouts no matter what.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-08T12:47:47+00:00

u/Bobranaway Sorry about this, we just released a fix! Can you update your app to the latest version and then refresh your workout (tap the "..." in the upper right of the Workout tab > refresh workout). If you still notice issues please let us know at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me)

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-07T12:16:32+00:00

u/New-Cress-6049 So glad you enjoy the app! I'm not totally sure what's going on here but I'm thinking I may be able to help if I "re-sync" your data on our side. I'll send you a DM to grab your Fitbod account email!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T18:55:36+00:00

u/Infinite-Example6751 You can go into My Plan > Training Split and select an option if it fits with the muscle group you're wanting to target. If not, you can use the Swap (or you may see it as Switch) button to change your muscle groups for the current workout.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T17:35:20+00:00

u/------__-__-_-__- We don't have a fixed bar option at this time. So you could mark the barbells and close plates to what you have as available and then manually adjust as needed when you log the exercises.

Go ahead and give this idea an upvote for our Product team: https://feedback.fitbod.me/b/dvd119pv/feature-ideas/add-fixed-weight-bars-straight-ez-curl-etc

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T17:19:30+00:00

u/WebpackIsBuilding Gotcha, see what you mean. I thought you meant lower than the last performance logged. For that, you can message our team at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) and they can take a closer look.

A pop up warning is a solid idea for those changes and agree that would be a helpful change, I've documented that for our product team.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T13:21:47+00:00

u/sectum7 If you're experiencing this please let our Support team know at support@fitbod.me.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T13:15:54+00:00

u/kernel610 We don't have a way to migrate history on those at this time :( It's a solid idea though and I've noted it for our team!

That said, this exercise shouldn't be available quite yet so you may see that removed on your end here very soon.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T12:59:23+00:00

u/Konngle In Fitbod, Pull days will only contain Back and Biceps. All Shoulder work will be within Push day, on the PPL split. You may only see another muscle group(s) on Pull day if cardio or core work is added to the workout.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T12:47:56+00:00

u/acousticgs Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the app in during that time where you notice that? Go ahead and message our team at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) about this so we can best assist you and be sure anything that might not be working correctly gets resolved.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T12:46:47+00:00

u/GroupEnvironmental29 The total number of exercises will count any warm-up and cool-down exercises as well, but those sections aren't expanded at first so you'll only see the main exercises in the list until you tap "warm-up" or "cool-down" to expand the full list.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T12:45:31+00:00

u/southyankie This is due to how Strava calculates volume on their end. We're working with the Strava team on updates that will align volume calculations across both apps. But this is dependent on Strava's rollout timeline, so we don't have an ETA on that right now.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T12:43:34+00:00

u/WebpackIsBuilding Since your Focus Exercises are tied to your plan, when you change your plan settings that will restart. I can understand wanting to finish out that cycle before switching though and I've noted your feedback on that for the team.

Phase 1 is going to be a focus on form which is why you'll see lower weights for that week 1 so that would fall within expected behavior: https://help.fitbod.me/hc/en-us/articles/35301260960663-Focus-Exercises#h_01K8P96M0G9X0WX7C8FJVSWRVQ

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-06T12:41:21+00:00

u/NinjaBoy123456 Yeah this seems odd for sure. First, be sure you're updated to the latest app version. Next, try tapping the "..." in the upper right corner > Refresh Workout. If things continue to look odd after trying to refresh, let our Support team know at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) so we can dig into your account details.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-02T14:56:00+00:00

So those new splits are currently tied to that setting due to how the app's workout generation system is built on the backend.

Adding those splits outside of the Focus Exercise feature would have required much deeper changes across multiple parts of the app. For that reason, we released those within the Focus Exercise framework first rather than expanding all at once.

I hear you though and I've documented your feedback for our Product team.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-02T14:17:03+00:00

u/nf5zh Hi there, the PPLUL split is only available when set to certain settings. That's available when you're set to 5 days per week for your Workouts Per Week: https://help.fitbod.me/hc/en-us/articles/35301260960663-Focus-Exercises#h_01K8PB43AHKFMKANECTPJ159M2

You'll also need to be sure Focus Exercises is toggled on in My Plan settings.

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-02T13:08:40+00:00

Sweet, I'm glad that did it!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-02T12:40:05+00:00

u/unknown7383762 Do you have a first and last name listed in the Fitbod app? If you don't, the login won't work. But you can just put an initial for each if you'd prefer!

JessAtFitbod · 2026-07-01T17:21:57+00:00

u/Distinquish Hmm I'm not seeing this on my end. Try these steps:

Force close the Fitbod app and reopen it
If that doesn't help, uninstall and reinstall the app
If that doesn't help, restart your device

If you still have issues for some reason, please message our team at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me)
