support@fitguild.appFrequently Asked Questions
How does recovery tracking work?
Fit Guild uses 10 biometric factors from Apple Health — including sleep quality, HRV, resting heart rate, VO2 Max, and your training history — to estimate how recovered each of your muscle groups is. Recovery percentages update automatically as new health data becomes available.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No, an Apple Watch is not required. However, if you have one, Fit Guild can access additional health metrics like HRV and provide live heart rate during workouts. The app works great with just iPhone health data too.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Fit Guild stores your data on your device and uses Sign In with Apple for authentication. Your health data from HealthKit is never sent to external servers. There is an optional, opt-in feature to share anonymized workout metrics to help improve our algorithms — but it's off by default and contains no personal information. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How do I set up my equipment?
Go to Settings → Equipment Profiles. You can create multiple profiles (like "Home Gym" and "Commercial Gym") with different equipment selections. When generating workouts, Fit Guild will only suggest exercises you can actually perform with your available equipment.
What is the volume target range?
Every muscle group has a minimum number of weekly sets needed to stimulate growth, and a maximum you can do while still recovering. Fit Guild tracks your volume and shows whether you're below, within, or above this target range for each muscle group.
Can I sync between devices?
Yes, you can enable iCloud sync in Settings. This keeps your workout history, PRs, and preferences synchronized across your iPhone and any other devices signed into your Apple ID—all while keeping your data encrypted and private.
How accurate is the 1RM estimation?
Fit Guild uses the Brzycki formula, one of the most validated methods in exercise science for estimating one-rep max from submaximal lifts. It's most accurate for sets of 10 reps or fewer and provides a reliable benchmark without risky maximal attempts.
