Commonquestions

No, and I won’t pretend otherwise to sell you a subscription. Nothing in ALTER YOU works in four weeks. Pick a program, give it eight, and the numbers move. That’s the whole secret, and it’s why every program tells you how long it takes before you start it.

Foundations exists for exactly this. Three full body sessions a week, six movements, done properly. Most people who quit training quit because they started with something too hard, too soon. The form library will also tell you what each lift should feel like, and what it feels like when it’s wrong.

Then you get Two Day Minimum, and it’s not a consolation prize. Two good sessions you actually do beats four you never start. Tell it you have two days and it builds you a real two day program, rather than quietly handing you a five day one.

No. Home Strength runs on dumbbells and Bodyweight Base runs on nothing at all. It will never recommend a program that needs equipment you don’t have.

Yes. They are stored so that only your account can read them. Another signed in user can’t reach them by any means. They are never used for anything else, and when you delete your account the image files are deleted too, not just the database rows.

Tell it when your last period started and it adjusts your training and nutrition guidance across your cycle. Your energy in week one isn’t your energy in week three, and pretending otherwise is how women end up feeling broken for no reason. Cycle predictions are estimates and must never be used for contraception.

Your height, weight, age, activity level and goal, using the Mifflin St Jeor equation. Not a flat 2,000 for everyone, which is what most apps quietly do. You can change any of it in Settings and the targets update immediately.

Yes, and grams is the default. Scan a barcode and it fills the grams in for you. Servings are there if you want them, but if you own kitchen scales you shouldn’t have to pretend you don’t.

Each one runs for a set block, usually eight to twelve weeks, and every round is included with your subscription. The prize goes to the best transformation: your before and after photos, the strength you added, the sessions you completed and the habits you kept. I judge the transformation across the whole block, from your before and after photos alongside what you logged.

iPhone Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then ALTER YOU. Two taps and it’s done. I don’t hide the button or make you email me.

No. ALTER YOU gives general fitness and wellbeing guidance. It’s not a medical device. Speak to a healthcare professional before starting a new programme, especially if you’re pregnant, postpartum, injured, or managing a health condition.
