Frequently asked questions.
Everything you want to know about Fitlyo. No answer? Write to us.
The app
Is Fitlyo free?
Yes. The essentials are free and ad-free: workout logging with rest timer, a library of 1,300 animated exercises, food diary, barcode scanning, meal photo analysis, health sync, friends and challenges. Fitlyo Premium also unlocks every Fitlyo programme, unlimited custom programmes, the automatic programme generator, advanced stats (estimated 1RM, volume per muscle) and all the coach’s recommendations. Coach programmes are bought one by one and stay yours.
When is Fitlyo coming out, and on which phones?
Fitlyo is coming soon to the App Store (iPhone) and Google Play (Android). Want to hear about the launch or test it early? Write to fitlyo@rs-digital.fr.
Do I need an account?
No, the account is free and optional. Fitlyo works on your phone first. An account lets you back up and sync your data across devices and use the social features (friends, feed, challenges).
Which languages is the app available in?
Five: French, English, Spanish, German and Arabic, with a right-to-left layout for Arabic.
Strength training
How many exercises does Fitlyo have?
Over 1,300 animated exercises, each with the muscles it really works (primary and secondary), the equipment needed and how to perform it. The animations are by Gym visual and used under licence.
Can I follow a training programme or build my own?
Both. Pick a Fitlyo programme (PPL, Upper / Lower, Strength…) or one from a certified coach, or build your own exercise by exercise. With Premium, the generator creates a programme that fits your goal, level and equipment in seconds.
What is the readiness check-in?
In 10 seconds before your workout, you rate your sleep, energy, stress, soreness and any pain. Fitlyo computes your readiness and adapts the session: full workout when you feel great, a lighter version (one set less, weights −10%) when you are tired.
How does Fitlyo track my progress?
Every set is logged (weight, reps, rest). Fitlyo detects your personal records, charts your progress, your volume per muscle and your training calendar, and tracks your body measurements and weight.
Nutrition
How does meal photo analysis work?
Snap your plate: the analysis runs 100% on your phone and the photo is never sent over the internet. Fitlyo recognises the foods, matches them with the CIQUAL table and gives you honest portion ranges instead of a falsely precise number. You adjust, you confirm. It is free and even works offline.
Where do the nutrition values come from?
From the CIQUAL 2025 table by Anses (the French food safety agency) for 3,479 generic foods, with calories, macros and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals). Packaged products scanned by barcode come from Open Food Facts.
Does Fitlyo make meal plans?
Yes: Fitlyo suggests meal plans that fit your calorie and macro targets and builds the matching shopping list. You can also type a meal in plain text, scan a barcode or search for a food.
Privacy & account
Is my data safe?
Fitlyo is local-first: your data stays on your phone, and the optional backup is hosted in Europe (Frankfurt). No ads, no trackers, your data is never sold. You can export all your data or delete your account at any time, right from the app.
Does Fitlyo sync with Apple Health and Health Connect?
Yes, with Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android. Everything is off by default: you choose, option by option, what Fitlyo writes (workouts, weigh-ins, meals) and what it reads (weight, steps, energy, sleep). Your health data is never sold or shared.
How do I delete my account or export my data?
In the app: Profile → Export my data, or Profile → Delete my account. You can also delete your account at fitlyo.rs-digital.fr/delete-account. For any request about your personal data: privacy@rs-digital.fr.
Does Fitlyo replace medical advice?
No. Fitlyo helps you train and eat better, but it does not replace a doctor or a dietitian. Ask for medical advice before starting if in doubt, and stop if you feel pain.
Coaches
I am a personal trainer: how do I sell my programmes on Fitlyo?
Apply from the app (Profile → Become a coach): public profile, specialties and qualification (BPJEPS, STAPS, DEJEPS or equivalent). The Fitlyo team checks your diploma and identity within 48 hours. You set your own prices and earn 70% of the net amount, paid monthly via Stripe once your balance reaches €50. Any question: fitlyo@rs-digital.fr.
