Tony Fitter

Tony Fitter only reads what you've explicitly granted. Go to Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Tony Fitter and make sure Body Mass, Height, Date of Birth, Sleep Analysis, Resting Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability are all switched on. iOS silently returns nothing for a category you've denied — it never shows an error.

Sleep, resting heart rate and HRV are read from the last 36 hours, so if your watch or ring hasn't synced to Health yet there'll be nothing to pull. Open the Health app first, let it sync, then reopen Tony Fitter.

Writing workouts is off by default. Turn on Settings → Health & Safety → Save Workouts to Apple Health inside the app, then grant write permission when iOS asks. Only sessions you finish after switching it on are written — it doesn't backfill your history.

Two safety nets. If you had Settings → iCloud Sync → Sync with iCloud switched on, sign into the same Apple ID and reopen the app — your workouts, check-ins, bodyweight log and routines merge back in automatically.

If you'd exported a backup instead, use Settings → Your Data → Restore from Backup and pick the file. Restoring rewrites every key, so quit and reopen the app afterwards to let the stores reload.

Sync pulls at launch, not continuously. Open the app on the second device — that's what triggers the merge. Both devices need the same Apple ID, iCloud Drive enabled, and Sync with iCloud switched on in Tony Fitter's own settings.

Records merge by ID rather than overwriting, so a session logged on your phone and one logged on your iPad both survive. Nothing is ever silently replaced.

Home → My Routines → the + button. Name it, add exercises from the whole library (your own custom lifts included), and set sets, reps and rest per exercise. Drag to reorder, swipe to delete.

Saved routines appear as quick-start tiles on the home screen — one tap and you're straight into the session runner, no setup.

Yes. Browse → the + button lets you define your own lift: name it, pick the equipment, and set which muscles it works and how much. Custom exercises show up everywhere the built-in ones do — in search, in routines, in your volume totals, and in weak-point analysis.

See the Understanding Your Numbers card below — every figure on the Today card is explained there, including where the maths comes from.

The warning is the acute:chronic workload ratio leaving the 0.8–1.3 band. Above 1.3 means this week is a lot heavier than your recent four-week average — the range associated with elevated injury risk. Below 0.8 means you've detrained relative to your own baseline.

It's a flag, not a diagnosis. It knows nothing about your sleep debt, your job, or how you actually feel. Use it alongside the morning check-in rather than instead of it.

No. Skip it and the app still tracks everything else — the Today card just dims the readings it can't compute. But sleep, soreness, energy, resting heart rate and HRV are what drive the readiness score, so a week of check-ins makes every recommendation noticeably sharper.

If you wear a watch or ring that writes to Apple Health, most of it fills in automatically.

Settings → Ads → Show Ads. The status line underneath tells you exactly what's happening — whether ads are on, off, hidden by Screenshot Mode, or removed by purchase.

Banners only ever appear on browsing and review screens. Never during a workout, never on the HIIT runner, never on the morning check-in, and never during onboarding.

Drag the info sheet at the bottom down to its smallest size — the figure needs the room. Tap a muscle to select it, tap again to clear it. You can select several at once and the exercise list re-ranks live.

Force-quit, reopen, and try again. An interrupted session is saved as you go, so you'll be offered a Resume card on the home screen rather than losing the sets you'd already logged. If the crash repeats, contact us with your device model, iOS version, and exactly what you were doing.
