## What is FitHalo?

FitHalo combines all of your workout activity into a single weekly challenge score. Set your goal, track your progress, and compete with friends. Every workout counts — whether logged with FitHalo, Apple Watch, or any fitness app that syncs with Apple Health.

ONE SCORE FOR ALL YOUR WORKOUTS
Earn points from every workout based on duration and intensity. Performing a variety of workout types — strength, cardio, flexibility — earns you bonus points. Stay consistent with daily activity for even more. Choose from multiple challenge tiers to match your fitness level.

RUCKING, WEIGHTED VEST & SPECIALTY WORKOUTS
FitHalo is the go-to tracker for rucking and loaded carry exercises. Track rucks, weighted vest walks, stroller walks and runs, sauna sessions, and cold plunges. These workouts are tracked without negatively affecting your Cardio Fitness score in Apple Health.

BLUETOOTH FITNESS EQUIPMENT
Connect directly to your exercise bikes, treadmills, rowing machines, walking pads, and other equipment that supports the Fitness Machine Service (FTMS) protocol. See real-time data from your equipment during workouts. Control treadmill speed, incline, and start/pause, or adjust resistance on connected indoor bikes directly from FitHalo.

STRAVA INTEGRATION
Connect your Strava account to automatically sync workouts between FitHalo and Strava.

APPLE WATCH & WIDGETS
FitHalo's watchOS app offers fully customizable workout displays and complications to keep track of your challenge score at a glance. iOS home screen widgets, lock screen widgets, and Live Activities keep you informed during and between workouts. Set a daily step count goal and track it with dedicated step count widgets on both iOS and watchOS.

WORKOUT INSIGHTS & METRICS
• Live and post-workout route maps with effort, pace, or heart rate zone coloring
• Heart rate zones (HRMax and HRR formulas) — live during workouts or in review
• FTP-based cycling power zones with a built-in FTP calculator and automatic sync from Health-connected apps
• Pace alerts with haptic feedback to keep you on target
• Splits on distance or time intervals with real-time alerts
• Effort tracking compatible with Apple Fitness's Training Load feature
• Customizable metric displays on both iOS and watchOS

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Track your weight with BMI reporting, trend analysis, and projected weight change over the next month. Set a target weight or maintenance range to stay on track toward your goals.

TREND DATA
Track trends over time in exercise minutes, step counts, and your weekly challenge scores.

FitHalo requires an iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Apple Watch features require watchOS 11 or later. Always make sure your workouts are safe and comfortable. Consult with healthcare professionals before beginning any new exercise routine.

### 5/5 — Super Motivational

*2026-03-19*

I’m losing weight fast and at risk of losing muscle (GLP-1) but FitHalo is my motivation to take care of myself, to work it hard and to do better each week. I love it!

### 5/5 — Successful tracking

*2025-10-09*

I used a different app to track my ruck walks and only 1 of the 3 sessions did it successfully record the session. This has recorded every session between weights and ruck walks.

The only request I have is to make it compatible with the Action Button on the Ultra series

### 5/5 — Fun Fitness Tracker

*2025-02-09*

I have been using this App for a few months now. I love that it tracks my activity in the background. I don’t have to think about remembering to log information daily. I can check my stats throughout the week and I can see my score for previous weeks to see if I am improving.
