Questions, answered straight.

Short, straight answers. Didn't find yours? Ask us.

Can I trust it?

Is this medical advice?

No. RepChef is a wellness tool, not a doctor or a dietitian. It estimates your needs with published formulas, but it can't know everything about your body. Got a health condition? Talk to a professional before you start.

How accurate are the calories?

Your starting numbers come from published, peer-reviewed formulas. Any formula is an estimate, so your weekly check-in is what corrects it. The stress adjustment on top is our own model, not a lab test.

Why does it sometimes tell me to do less?

Because your body adapts while it recovers, not only while you train. When sleep is short or life is heavy, recovery suffers, so RepChef lightens the week instead of piling on. That's the point.

What's different from other fitness apps?

It checks back. Every week it asks how it went and builds the next week from your answers: fewer sessions when you're wrecked, a gentler target when you skipped meals, an easy week every fourth week. Meals are real dishes, not numbers to chase. Same answers, same plan. And no streaks or badges to keep up with.

Does it use AI?

No AI writes your plan. It's calculated from your answers with published formulas and a fixed set of rules, so the same answers always give the same plan. You don't need a smartwatch.

Why won't it give me a bigger deficit?

Because a crash diet isn't a plan you can keep. RepChef limits how much it cuts from what you burn, keeps your daily food above a set minimum, and cuts even less when life is stressful.

Using it

I've never worked out. Is this for me?

Yes. Tell it you're a beginner and your first week starts easy. No gym? There's a bodyweight path. Every move comes with a tip on how to do it, and your weekly check-in keeps the plan at a pace you can manage.

Do I need a gym or equipment?

No. Tell it what you have: a full gym, a few dumbbells, bands, a pull-up bar, kettlebells, or nothing at all. It builds around that. Starting from zero? There's a bodyweight path.

Can it keep my allergens out?

The common allergens can be excluded when your week is built, and no dish tagged with one is picked. Allergy and medical swaps are free on every plan. Always check the label, and follow your doctor's advice if an allergy is severe.

Why can't I open the weekly check-in early?

It opens on the last day of the week, or as soon as every session is logged, whichever comes first. A week checked in before it happened would build the wrong next week. The lock is on our server, so it can't be skipped.

Can I share a plan I built?

Yes, on every plan, with one code. Whoever enters it gets their own copy, with its days, moves, sets, reps, rest and meals, to change as they like. They never see your weight, your burn or your target. You can also share a plan live with one person, so your changes reach their phone. Coaching people? On Trainer Studio your changes reach every client's phone and you can track how they're doing; Plans has the details.

Does it need a smartwatch?

No. Everything it knows, you told it: your answers, your ticks, your check-ins. Nothing to pair.

Paying

What's free, and what's paid?

Logging, ticking, your weight and the weekly check-in are free on every plan. Free gives you your first week built for you and a few plans of your own that repeat each week, with copies to share. Adaptive, the main plan, builds you a new week after every check-in. Tracker is for building your own plans, with meals and your own dishes. RepChef Pro is both, and Trainer Studio adds client onboarding, plan sharing and tracking for your clients. Subscriptions are bought in the app through Google Play, which shows the price in your currency.

What happens after my free week?

Your plan stays: read it, log it and tick it as long as you like. The weekly check-in still opens and saves your answers. Building the next week for you needs Adaptive, RepChef Pro or Trainer Studio. Your own plans keep repeating their week; writing more weeks into them needs Tracker, RepChef Pro or Trainer Studio.
