Firstly, a huge hello from the team here at Fitcoin. We’re working tirelessly to provide you, our end user, a product you will love.
Connecting your device will be seamless and allow you to earn discounts, product offers and treatments you enjoy without any extra work. All that sweat, stiffness and soreness shouldn’t only serve aesthetic and health purposes. You should be able to convert your exertion into exchangeable points.
What’s new
1) iOS app
- SwiftUI app built in Xcode (iOS). Android rollout targeted for Q2–Q3 2026.
- Apple HealthKit integration complete. We connect to all your fitness trackers via HealthKit today (direct integrations with WHOOP, Garmin, etc. are on the roadmap).
- Performance and privacy: data is read with your permission, scoped to only what we need for scoring. See our Privacy page.
2) Fitcoin scoring system
Our goal is a fair, device-agnostic score. 1 km of steps is not equal to 1 minute of powerlifting—so we model intensity and duration to produce a unified FitScore. Designed by Harris Khan, drawing on his 15+ years of personal experience in powerlifting, bodybuilding, and Muay Thai, alongside a sports-focused academic foundation from Loughborough University (ranked #1 in the world for sports-related subjects), the FitScore calibrations are engineered to balance effort, consistency, and training load across different athletic modalities.
- Current approach: modality-aware baselines (e.g., running, cycling, strength, yoga) with calibrated points per hour.
- Planned: an AI calibration layer that learns from anonymized aggregates to tune fairness across activities/devices as our user base grows.
- Outcome: consistent, transparent rewards regardless of your preferred training style.
3) Rewards and monetization
- Fitcoin redeemable for partner discounts across nutrition, apparel, memberships, and recovery. Explore these partner discounts directly in our rewards catalog.
- Watch & Earn: optional rewarded experiences that never gate core functionality. Rewards are granted only after full completion—aligned with platform policy.
4) Mailing list momentum
Thank you to everyone who’s joined the waitlist—early testers help us shape a better product. We’re exploring an early-bird bonus for initial adopters.
Roadmap highlights
- Direct device integrations: WHOOP, Garmin, and more.
- Leaderboard + social: weekly ranks, follow friends, cheer progress.
- Transparency: publish a FitScore explainer and changelog as the model evolves.
We’ll keep shipping, listening, and iterating. If you’re a brand or partner interested in collaborating, reach us at hello@fitcoin.co.
