Frequently asked questions
The questions that come first
If your question is not here, email info@fitenfocuscoaching.nl.
Do I need a coach to use Athverge?
No. The app is built to be used on your own: you pick from 60 programmes, log your food and follow your progress without a coach ever appearing. The coach side is there for anyone who wants it, and stays entirely out of view otherwise.
Which phones does the app run on?
Android first. An iOS version does not exist yet and is not on a timeline we can promise; as soon as there is something to say about it, it will be here.
Does the app work without internet?
Yes. Athverge is offline-first with real conflict resolution, not a cache that falls over later. You log your sets in a basement with no signal, and it syncs as soon as you are back online — including across two devices.
What does it cost?
There will be one paid tier. The price is not fixed yet, and as soon as it is you will find it here and in the store. Anyone with an active coaching connection to Fit&Focus Coaching gets everything without a separate app subscription.
How many Dutch products are in the food database?
The core is 68 Dutch NEVO products, extended by the barcode scanner on Open Food Facts. That is not a complete Dutch food database, and we do not call it one.
Can I use Athverge with knee, back or shoulder complaints?
There are dedicated plans for that. Every exercise in the app carries a load profile, and the knee-, back- and shoulder-friendly plans exclude the load that typically provokes the complaint — enforced in code, not as a disclaimer. The app asks three screening questions first; on a red flag it does not start and refers you to a doctor or physiotherapist. The app does not diagnose and does not treat.
Can I train during pregnancy or after giving birth?
There are two plans for this phase of life: Strong Through Pregnancy and Back After Birth, built on the movement guidelines. Both start with a short screening in plain language; on a red flag the app refers you on instead of starting. The plans stay invisible until you say this is about you, and that declaration stays on your own phone only. The app does not replace a midwife, doctor or pelvic physiotherapist.
Which wearables can I connect?
Withings, Polar, Google Health and Health Connect, over OAuth and revocable at any time. A Polar H10 additionally reads your heart rate live during a session, over bluetooth.
What happens to my data?
It is yours. Everything can be exported and deleted — in the app and on the web. No advertising, no reselling, and crash reporting only starts once you have given permission.
Can I delete my account without opening the app?
Yes. Use the web page for account deletion, which also works if you have already removed the app from your device.
