Frequently asked questions

The questions that come first

If your question is not here, email info@fitenfocuscoaching.nl.

When can I download Athverge?

The app is not on Google Play yet; the last step before that is under way. We will only name a date once we are sure of it. Leave your email address on the homepage and you will hear the day it lands, in one message and nothing more.

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.

Can I bring my data over from my current app?

Yes. You import your training history from Hevy or Strong and your food diary from MyFitnessPal, via their CSV export. You see a preview of what comes in first, and an import can be undone afterwards. The same holds the other way: the GDPR export in the app hands you everything.

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 full NEVO table from the RIVM, the Dutch national institute for public health: 2,328 Dutch products, with up to 29 nutrient values per product, from vitamins and minerals to EPA and DHA. Supermarket products with a barcode come from Open Food Facts on top, ranked Netherlands-first.

Can I use Athverge with knee, back or shoulder problems?

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 problem, enforced in code and 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 languages is Athverge available in?

Four: Dutch, English, Spanish and German. That goes further than the buttons: the 1,311 exercise names, the step-by-step executions, the 480 recipes and the 25 plans with their evidence all exist in all four. You pick the language in the app, independently of your phone. This website is in Dutch and English.

Can I use the app in kilos or in pounds?

Either. Under Settings you choose metric (kg, cm, km) or US (lb, ft/in, mi, fl oz). Only the display changes: everything is stored in metric, so you can switch at any time without your history going crooked. The toggle is in the coach portal too.

Which wearables can I connect?

Withings, Polar, Oura, Fitbit and Health Connect, through a connection you make yourself and can revoke at any time. A Polar H10 additionally streams 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.
