## What is Fortis?

Fortis turns your goals, schedule, equipment and exercise preferences into a structured strength program you can actually follow.

PERSONALISED FROM THE START
• Train from 2 to 7 days each week, with a recommended schedule for every method.
• Include movements you want and exclude exercises you cannot or will not perform.
• Record injury-related exclusions before choosing a method.
• See incompatible programs clearly disabled when a required exercise cannot be safely substituted.

PROGRAMMING THAT RESPECTS THE METHOD
• Choose from 15 established approaches, including 5/3/1, StrongLifts, Texas Method, German Volume Training, Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, PHUL, PHAT, Westside, Block Periodization, DUP, Bulgarian and Olympic foundations.
• Method-specific sets, reps, intensity and progression are preserved, including AMRAP top sets where the method calls for them.
• Session workload considers exercise demand, compound-lift density, time and target RPE to avoid unnecessary overload.
• Weekly volume is spread or condensed to suit the days you can train while keeping session lengths practical.

GUIDED SESSIONS
• Follow a clear plan for warm-up, main lifts, accessories and cool-down.
• Start a solid, set-aware timer from the group you are working on.
• Get a 10-second preparation countdown and start/end chimes.
• Scale cardio sessions to your ability and available time.
• Log sessions, view progress and compare a realistic future projection.
• Free includes one active program and asks for a fresh lift setup when you build a replacement.
• Fortis Pro keeps unlimited programs, their progress and lift inputs.
• Fortis Fusion is Pro-only and coordinates several method-faithful strength, Olympic lifting and cardio tracks in one calendar, with separate days, times, equipment, time limits and RPE ceilings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, sign-up, advertising, analytics or tracking.
• Your programs, lifts and history stay on your device.
• Export and restore a local Fortis backup from Settings.
• Training and logging work offline; purchases and restore use the App Store.

Fortis provides planning and logging tools, not medical advice. Exercise within your abilities and seek qualified advice for injuries or medical concerns.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-31

Simplify me. A new setting that shows only the title of each area, so the screen stays calm. Tap into any bubble to see everything it holds.

Swipe to open the menu. Swipe across from the left edge instead of reaching for the icon.

Delete a program. Remove any program you no longer want from My Programs, along with its weeks and logged sessions.

Clearer cardio. Every cardio session now says what it is for, which activities suit it (walk, run, bike, row or swim) and exactly how to warm up. Short on time? Each session shows its shortest useful version, so you can shorten the work without losing the point of it.

Max lifts. Lift setup is now called Max lifts, with a plain explanation that every working weight in Fortis is calculated from these numbers.

Also in this update: lighter cards that are easier to read, a fix for the empty gap below the last card when you scroll to the bottom, a way back out of Fortis Fusion if you decide not to continue, and Assistance library renamed to Accessory work +.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-24

New in this update: a live volume tracker for Pro, a Pilates session library, and military 60/120 cardio. Plus a refreshed interface with lighter cards throughout the app, making your workouts easier to view.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-13

No release notes.
