Common questions

JEFIT is a strength training app with 20M+ downloads and 13M+ users, rated 4.8★ on the App Store and 4.4★ on Google Play. It logs your training, turns what you log into analysis of what to work on next, and can build a plan that adjusts as you get stronger.

JEFIT runs on iPhone and Android, on Apple Watch and Wear OS watches, and on the web at jefit.com. Your workouts, plans and history stay in sync across all of them, so you can build a plan on the web and log it from your phone or your wrist.

Most AI workout apps generate one session at a time, so there's no arc from this week to the next. JEFIT builds a multi-week periodized plan, with blocks that build, peak and deload, and adjusts it every week from what you log. The algorithm is built on the training data of JEFIT's 13M+ users.

Open your plan in the Workout tab, pick a workout day and tap Start Workout. Log weight and reps for each set as you go, and JEFIT saves the session to your history when you finish. You can also log from the web, an Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch.

JEFIT records weight, reps and rest time for every set. You can mark a set as warm-up, working, failure or drop set, group exercises into supersets, and add a note to any exercise. All of it is included in every account, with no cap on how much history you keep.

Yes. JEFIT pre-fills each set on the log screen with what you did last time. In your settings you can choose where those numbers come from: your last log of that exercise on any day, or the last time you trained that same workout day.

Yes. JEFIT's rest timer starts automatically after each set and counts down out loud. Set a default in Progress tab → Settings, give any exercise or single set its own rest time, add or cut 15 seconds while it runs, or set it to 0 to turn it off.

Yes. JEFIT's rest timer keeps running in the background, and on iPhone a Live Activity shows the countdown on your lock screen. JEFIT also has two interval timers: a countdown for HIIT work and a stopwatch for timed holds such as planks.

Yes. Swipe an exercise tile left and tap Superset, link exercises from the workout day's three-dot menu, or choose Add a superset from the three-dot menu on the log screen mid-workout. There's no limit on exercises per superset, and JEFIT moves you to the next exercise as you log.

Yes. On JEFIT's log screen, use Add Exercise to add an exercise and the + and delete buttons to add or remove sets, without leaving your session. With Elite, you can also swap an exercise for one of JEFIT's recommended alternatives.

No. JEFIT times each session from start to finish and the timer can't be paused. If you don't want to keep a session, you can discard it. When you finish, you give one effort rating (RPE) for the whole session, not one per set.

JEFIT shows a workout summary: how long you trained, your total volume, sets performed, any personal records you broke, your effort rating, a body map of the muscles you trained and the full list of what you logged. If you trained with a watch, calories and heart rate are there too.

Yes. Open the calendar in the Progress tab and edit any past workout to correct a mistake or add detail. JEFIT keeps your complete history for every exercise, not just your last session, so you can go back to anything you've ever logged.

On JEFIT's log screen, tap the chart icon on the exercise and open the History tab. It lists every set you've ever logged for that exercise, back to your first session. The same icon opens the exercise's 1RM chart.

There are three ways. Pick a ready-made plan from JEFIT's library, build your own from scratch, or let JEFIT's AI build you an Adaptive Plan. All three are logged the same way, and you can switch between them whenever your training changes.

JEFIT's library has 700+ plans built by JEFIT and 20,000+ built by the community. Open the Find tab, where plans are grouped by goal, and filter by goal, muscle, equipment, days and level. JEFIT Elite adds 400+ plans built by professional coaches.

Yes. Pick a JEFIT library plan and change it to fit you, for example by swapping a barbell exercise for a dumbbell version. Your changes are saved in your plan, so a ready-made plan can become your own version over time.

Go to JEFIT's Workout tab, open All Plans and tap +. Add up to 31 training days, add exercises to each day, and set the weight, reps, rest timer and supersets for each one. You can also build plans on the web at jefit.com/build-routine, and share a plan with friends.

Every JEFIT account can keep 2 plans, including plans saved from the library. Each plan holds up to 31 training days, so one plan can carry up to 31 different workouts. JEFIT Elite makes plans unlimited.

The Adaptive Plan is a 12-week training program JEFIT builds around your goal, fitness level, schedule, equipment, target muscles and injuries. It runs in four-week blocks and updates every week from the workouts you log. It's part of JEFIT Elite.

Open JEFIT's Find tab and tap Personalize your plan, or go to All Plans and start an Adaptive Plan. Setup takes about 2 minutes. Starting one doesn't delete your existing plans or change their values, and you can turn the Adaptive Plan off at any time.

Periodization means organizing training into multi-week blocks instead of adding weight every week forever. JEFIT's Adaptive Plan runs four-week blocks, Ramp-up, Build, Intense and Deload, with three blocks making a 12-week plan. A Bridge week repeats a phase at lower volume when you need more time.

Yes. Every four-week block in JEFIT's Adaptive Plan ends with a Deload week of lighter weights and fewer sets. The plan can also trigger a deload when it detects fatigue, or give you a Bridge week when progress is slow.

With Elite, JEFIT's Load Progression reads every set you log and suggests the weight, reps and target reps for your next session. On main lifts, you progress when you hit the top of your rep range with stable, controlled reps. Typical increases are 2.5–5%, and you can always override a suggestion.

JEFIT sets your rep range from your training goal, experience level, the exercise's role in the session, its movement pattern and your equipment. A primary compound lift and an isolation accessory won't get the same range, and the range moves as your goal or experience changes.

No. JEFIT adapts to your logged performance, your goal and your training history, so two lifters on the same plan progress at different speeds, with different weight jumps. The plan follows what you actually did, not what it expected you to do.

Yes, with Elite. Load Progression suggests weights on any plan, including your own and your custom exercises. Periodization on your own plan keeps your exercises exactly as you wrote them and adjusts how much you lift week to week, in four-week blocks.

An Instant Workout is a single session JEFIT generates on the spot. In the Workout tab, tap Instant, choose your duration, equipment and muscles, and tap Generate Workout. By default it takes your muscle recovery into account. Every account includes 10 generations; Elite makes them unlimited.

No. JEFIT doesn't watch or assess your form, and its progression assumes your technique is consistent. That's what the demo video and written instructions on every exercise are for: check them before you load a lift that's new to you.

JEFIT's library has 1,400+ exercises across 8 training types: strength, stretching, power, Olympic, explosive, mobility, dynamic and yoga. You can filter it by body part, equipment and training type, and the full library is included in every account.

Yes. Every exercise in JEFIT comes with an HD demo video, step-by-step instructions, the muscles it trains and its movement pattern, in every account. To watch one while you train, open the menu at the top right of the logging screen and choose Play HD Video.

JEFIT maps every exercise to 10 muscle groups and 38 individual muscles, including upper and lower chest, all three deltoid heads and all three triceps heads. Each exercise shows its top muscles and a breakdown of how much each one is involved.

A movement pattern groups exercises by how your body moves, not which muscle they target. JEFIT tracks six core patterns, squat, hinge, horizontal push, vertical push, horizontal pull and vertical pull, and classifies exercises into 16 more, such as isolation, rotation and loaded carries.

Yes. When adding exercises in JEFIT, tap Add Exercise, then + at the top right. Give it a name, primary muscles, equipment and record type, plus optional instructions, images and a video link. Every account includes up to 7 custom exercises; Elite makes them unlimited.

Every JEFIT account includes an estimated 1RM on every set, a 1RM chart, personal records, full exercise history, total volume and workout time, streaks, a workout calendar, a muscle breakdown, the muscle recovery chart, body stats and progress photos. Elite adds the Progress Index, JEFIT Insights, 1RM analysis and the interactive BodyMap.

JEFIT estimates your one-rep max (1RM) from the weight and reps you actually log, on every exercise, and keeps it current as you train. You never test a true max. Each set on the log screen shows its estimated 1RM, and the 1RM chart is included in every account.

Yes. JEFIT detects personal records automatically and shows a message the moment you set one. New records are also listed on your workout summary. With Elite, 1RM analysis in JEFIT Insights shows which exercises you broke a record on and your trend.

JEFIT's Progress tab shows total volume, workout time and more over 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 12 months or your lifetime. Every account sees the last 14 days. JEFIT Elite unlocks 1 month and longer. Your logged workouts themselves are never capped.

JEFIT's muscle recovery chart is a full-body map showing how recovered each muscle is, with a recovery rate and recovery time for each. Dark means recently trained; light means recovered. Find it in the Progress tab under Body. It's included in every account.

BodyMap is a silhouette showing which muscles a workout trains and what share of its focus goes to each, broken down to individual muscles. Tap the silhouette icon on a workout day's Day Details screen, or see it on the Workout Complete screen after a session.

Yes, with Elite. Tap a muscle in JEFIT's BodyMap, such as hamstrings, and add an exercise that targets it to that workout day. Every account sees a body map on the workout summary; the percentage breakdown and adding exercises are part of JEFIT Elite.

The Progress Index is JEFIT's weekly read on your training, built from three signals: strength, stimulus volume and movement balance. It shows whether each is in, above or below your target zone, never as a number. It's on the Progress tab and part of JEFIT Elite.

JEFIT Insights is an Elite analysis of each session: a workout score, sets volume, records per muscle and a breakdown of how you used your time between rest, loading equipment and actual training. Open it from the Fitness Insights banner on the Progress tab.

Yes. In JEFIT's Progress tab, the Body tab has Body Stats for weight, body fat and measurements such as waist, chest, arms and forearms, with Progress Photos right below. You set privacy for each photo. Both are included in every account.

Yes. JEFIT has an Apple Watch app and a Wear OS app. Follow your planned routine or start a workout on the fly, edit weight and reps, add or remove sets, and run rest and interval timers from your wrist, synced with your phone in real time.

No. Keep your phone nearby: JEFIT's watch app works together with the JEFIT app on your phone and syncs in real time, so every set lands in the same history. JEFIT doesn't support Garmin watches at this time.

Every JEFIT account includes 3 watch sessions. JEFIT Elite makes watch sessions unlimited and adds heart-rate and calorie tracking for each session.

Yes, in both directions. JEFIT workouts sync to Strava as activities, and Strava activities such as runs, rides, hikes, walks and swims sync into JEFIT. Connect it in Settings under Connected Apps. Strava sync is included in every account.

Yes. JEFIT syncs workouts, calories, heart rate and body weight with Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android. Connect it in Settings under Connected Apps. It's included in every account.

Yes. Log in at jefit.com, open Settings, go to Data Controls and choose Export Data. Your training data is yours to download at any time, in every account.

Yes. In JEFIT's Discover tab, members share workouts and progress photos, ask training questions in Q&A and share what they eat in the Meal tab. You can post images, videos and text, tag topics, and like and comment on other members' posts.

You decide. Every social feature in JEFIT is optional, and privacy settings control who can see your logged training. You can use JEFIT entirely privately: log every workout, keep your full history and all your charts, and never post anything.

Yes, in two ways. Enter a JEFIT group contest to compete as a team, or join a group chat to talk training with other members. Both are optional, and taking part doesn't expose your training log to anyone you haven't chosen to share it with.

JEFIT runs three kinds: a monthly challenge with a new theme each month, and solo and group contests every quarter. All are open to every account, and progress comes from the activity you already do in the app.

Open JEFIT's Discover tab, tap the contest banner at the top, choose a contest and tap Join Contest. There's no application and no entry fee. A leaderboard shows where everyone stands.

Iron Points are JEFIT's reward points. You earn them from activity in the app, such as performing workouts, engaging with the community and referring friends, and you can redeem them for JEFIT Elite membership. Iron Points don't expire.

JEFIT contests award prizes that earn you Elite membership when the contest ends. The Iron Points you build up along the way are yours to redeem as well.

Lifetime Iron Points are everything you've ever earned in JEFIT, a running record that never goes down. Consumable Iron Points are the balance you can spend on Elite membership, and that one drops each time you redeem.

JEFIT Elite is the premium subscription: $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year. It unlocks the Adaptive Plan, Load Progression's suggested weights, periodization on your own plan, the Progress Index, JEFIT Insights and the interactive BodyMap.

JEFIT Elite removes the limits on a standard account: unlimited plans instead of 2, unlimited custom exercises instead of 7, unlimited Instant Workouts instead of 10, and unlimited watch sessions with heart rate and calories instead of 3. It also adds 400+ plans built by professional coaches.

No. Every JEFIT account includes full workout logging, the rest timer, supersets, the complete 1,400+ exercise library with demo videos, your full exercise history, the 1RM chart, personal records and the muscle recovery chart. Elite is for lifters who want JEFIT to program their training and analyze it in depth.

Yes. Iron Points, which you earn from workouts, community activity and referrals in JEFIT, can be redeemed for Elite membership. Contest prizes also earn Elite membership.
