Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask before signing up, answered without marketing.

What does phase.fitness actually do?

phase.fitness writes training programs. You give it a goal, your schedule and your equipment, and it produces a periodized program divided into phases, with every session laid out on a calendar. It is a planner, not a tracker: you run the sessions in the app or watch you already use, and the results come back to phase.fitness, which uses them to build the next phase.

Can one program contain strength, cardio and calisthenics together?

Yes, and that is the point of phase.fitness. A single program can hold barbell and machine strength days, endurance sessions, and bodyweight skill work in the same week, ordered so they do not undo each other. Most planners cover one of the three and treat the others as an afterthought.

Which apps does phase.fitness work with?

Two-way with Garmin, Hevy, Intervals.icu and Liftosaur: phase.fitness sends the planned session out, and the completed session comes back. Strength programs go to Hevy, Liftosaur or a Garmin watch; endurance sessions go to Garmin and Intervals.icu. Strava works the other way: phase.fitness imports nothing from it, and the sessions you finish in phase.fitness can be posted to your Strava feed when you choose.

Does phase.fitness push workouts to a Garmin watch?

Yes: write it in phase.fitness, train it on your Garmin. Once you allow it, planned strength and cardio sessions are sent to Garmin Connect and appear on the watch, so the workout is on your wrist without retyping it. Completed activities come back automatically and mark the planned sessions done; the AI uses them only if you allow it.

How does the calisthenics side work?

You pick up to three skills — muscle-up, front lever, planche, handstand and others — and phase.fitness places you on a progression after a short assessment, then programs sets, holds and volume like any other session. Calisthenics sessions run in a player built into phase.fitness, because no exercise catalogue on the market contains skills like a tuck front lever: there is nothing to send them to.

What is periodization, and what does the AI do about it?

Periodization means training in blocks with different jobs — building a base, adding work, then peaking — instead of repeating the same week forever. phase.fitness splits your program into phases of roughly four weeks. When a phase ends, the AI reads what you actually completed, the loads you hit and how you felt, and builds the next phase from it rather than from the plan on paper.

Is there a native iPhone or Android app?

An iPhone and Apple Watch app is coming soon to the App Store: on the watch your sessions run on the wrist, set by set, and cardio sessions can also go to Apple's Workout app. Until then, phase.fitness is a web app that installs from the browser as a PWA, with an icon on your home screen and offline access. On Android, the web app is the way to use it.

How much does phase.fitness cost?

PRO is $34.90 every three months, or $104.70 a year — twelve months for the price of nine. There is no monthly plan. There is a free tier with 10 AI credits a month, and it does not expire.

Why is billing quarterly instead of monthly?

Because one month shows one training phase, and one phase is the part you could have written yourself. What phase.fitness does that a template cannot is build phase two out of phase one, and phase three out of phase two. Three months is the shortest window in which that is visible, so it is the shortest subscription we sell.

What is included in PRO and what is free?

Free covers tracking, 10 AI credits a month, programs and routines you build yourself without limits, the full exercise library and bodyweight skill roadmaps. PRO adds AI programs periodized into phases, end-of-phase analysis, two-way connections with Garmin, Hevy, Intervals.icu and Liftosaur, Post to Strava, workouts pushed to your watch, the template library, progressive workload and wellness tracking, and 100 AI credits a month.

Can I start from an existing program instead of generating one?

Yes. The template library holds ready-made programs and single sessions that you can import into a phase, with your calendar rewritten around the change and no AI credits spent. You can also save your own programs as templates and publish them. The library is a PRO feature; browsing it is open to everyone.

What happens to my training data?

It stays yours. phase.fitness reads your training data to build your programs; it does not sell it. The connections to Garmin, Hevy, Intervals.icu, Liftosaur and Strava are authorised by you and can be revoked at any time; the one to Strava only posts the sessions you choose, and nothing is imported from it. From Garmin, phase.fitness takes your activities only, and the AI uses them only if you allow it. A template you publish is shared without your absolute loads: other people see reps, percentages, RPE, tempo and rest, and your own copy keeps its numbers.

Is phase.fitness the same as other apps called Phase?

No. The name is the domain: phase.fitness, written in lower case with the dot and read “phase dot fitness”. It is an independent hybrid training planner at www.phase.fitness, and it is not affiliated with other apps or companies that use the word Phase in their name. phase.fitness plans strength, cardio and calisthenics in one periodized program; it does not log meals.

Still unsure?

The free tier does not expire and does not ask for a card. Build a program and see what comes out.
