Frequently asked questions about No Fuss Gym
No Fuss Gym is an independent strength training app, built to be one of the best in its category, without compromising on how it treats its users.
The project started from a simple frustration: after years of lifting, we were tired of apps packed with ads, and of those that, even behind a paid subscription, kept tracking and selling user data to third parties. Paying to be the product? No thanks.
NFG is the answer to that. No ads. No tracking. No data reselling. Just a serious app, built by lifters, for lifters. Every feature is there because it makes sense for your progress, not to inflate screen time or feed an ad algorithm.
Supporting NFG means betting on a different model: an independent project that respects your intelligence rather than exploiting it. If that resonates with you, welcome.
Yes. NFG is designed to work fully offline: all your data is stored locally on your device. Premium users also get automatic cloud backups, synced whenever a connection is available.
NFG is available in 7 languages: French, English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch. More languages may be added as the app grows and new users join.
NFG is available on iOS and Android, on both phones and tablets.
Never. No data is sent to advertisers or third parties. You have full access to your own data at any time. Premium users also benefit from cloud backups of their workouts and history, hosted in Europe.

Data is not synced. If you switch devices, you start fresh. That's why NFG includes a manual export and import system. Make sure to export a backup before changing devices.
Deleted data is permanently removed after 30 days. Once that window passes, recovery is not possible. We recommend using the export feature to keep a backup of your data.
No. The program generator relies on an algorithm that selects and assembles pre-built programs, each validated by a certified strength coach. These programs are balanced, coherent and designed to drive progress, and will grow over time.
No app replaces a real coach. Posture, technique, adjustments for your body or any pain you're dealing with can't be assessed remotely. NFG programs are a solid tool, not a personalized medical or sports prescription.
Most apps use a 1-to-10 RPE scale. In practice, research shows it's very hard for users to reliably tell the difference between a 7 and an 8 effort. NFG uses a simplified 1-to-5 scale, with 6 representing muscular failure.
Far from being a limitation, this simplification actually produces more consistent and reliable data over time.
Stats are calculated from your logged sessions and updated at the end of each workout.
