Frequently asked questions

Short, direct answers. If something is planned rather than built, the answer says so.

Product and availability

What is FitSI?

FitSI is an AI training coach that works in Telegram. It keeps your goal, restrictions, current level, equipment and workout history in one profile and uses them to plan your week and each workout.

Why Telegram and not a separate app?

Telegram works on Android, iPhone and desktop, and most people already have it open. The chat is used for questions and quick reports; a Telegram Mini App shows the profile, plan, workout cards and timer.

Is FitSI available now?

Not yet. FitSI is in development and the first pilot is small and by invitation. You can leave a request on the home page; requests are reviewed by hand and do not give automatic access.

When will the pilot start?

There is no public date. The first four-week pilot runs with the founder; invitations to other testers follow after that pilot is evaluated.

How much will FitSI cost?

Pricing has not been decided. The pilot does not take payments.

Which languages does FitSI support?

The site is in English, Russian and Polish. The coach answers in the language set in your profile; the coach languages for the pilot will be confirmed before it starts.

Training

What training does FitSI plan?

Strength training with bodyweight, resistance bands, dumbbells, kettlebells or gym equipment; running and other cardio; HIIT and Tabata-style intervals; warm-ups, stretching and mobility. Goals can be a first 5 km, ten pull-ups or simply training three times a week.

Can I train with resistance bands only?

Yes. A band is equipment like any other: you add it to your profile with its colour or stated resistance, and workouts use only what you confirmed.

Does FitSI include warm-ups and stretching?

Yes. Every workout starts with a warm-up matched to the main part. Stretching or mobility can close the session or be a short session on its own, counted as a light day.

Can a complete beginner use FitSI to start running?

Yes, that is one of the main pilot scenarios. Plans for beginners can alternate walking and running and progress based on how recent runs felt, not on a fixed calendar.

What happens if I miss a workout?

FitSI moves or adjusts the following sessions so the week still serves its goal, and explains the change. Past sessions are never rewritten; plan versions are kept.

Can I ask for a quick workout with what I have right now?

Yes. A request like “20 minutes, a band and a mat” produces a session that uses your profile and restrictions. On a planned training day it replaces the planned session by default.

Does FitSI make every interval session maximal?

No. Tabata format describes the timing (for example 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest). Intensity is set by your level, recovery and restrictions.

Health and safety

Is FitSI medical advice?

No. FitSI gives general training guidance. It does not diagnose, treat or interpret lab results. If you have a condition, pain or doubts, talk to a doctor before changing your training.

How are injuries and restrictions handled?

You describe them during onboarding. Each is stored with a date and source and checked against every workout. If a restriction is unclear, FitSI asks before giving a personal workout.

What if I feel great but have a stored restriction?

A request for more intensity does not cancel a restriction. FitSI offers a compatible alternative; changing the restriction itself is a separate conversation about what changed and since when.

What if I report pain during training?

FitSI does not raise the load, suggests stopping a potentially unsuitable exercise and recommends a professional assessment when appropriate.

Devices and data

Do I need a watch or tracker?

No. Without device data FitSI asks a short check-in about sleep, fatigue and pain. Data from a device helps, but is not required.

Does FitSI work with Garmin?

Not yet. Official Garmin access requires an approved application to the Garmin Connect Developer Program. Until then you can send a screenshot of the workout summary.

Does FitSI work with Polar?

Polar AccessLink is being tested. A Polar H10 chest strap records workouts; it is not used as a source of sleep data.

Where is my data stored?

Profile and training data are stored in FitSI’s own database with per-user isolation. Messages pass through Telegram and the selected AI provider; only the context needed for a request is sent to the model.

Can I delete my data?

Export and deletion of personal data will be available before the pilot is extended beyond the first users. Waitlist requests can be deleted on request; see the privacy page.
