About Banana Is Fit
Banana Is Fit is a workout app. You build your training week, tick exercises off as you finish them, time your rest between sets, and keep a record of your bests. There is no account and nothing to sign up for.
It is out now and free to download on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, in eleven languages.
Why it exists
Most people who train consistently do not quit because the programme was wrong. They quit because the admin around it became a chore — remembering what you lifted on Monday, digging through a notes app for last week's numbers, restarting a rest timer you keep losing when the screen locks.
The app is built around that narrow problem. It will not replace a coach who knows your history and watches your form, and it is not trying to. It answers a smaller question well: what am I doing today, what did I do last time, and how long do I rest?
What it deliberately does not do
We think it is worth being explicit about the boundaries, because a lot of fitness software promises more than it can deliver:
- It does not write your programme. The plan it starts you with is a generic template. You build the rotation that suits you.
- It does not assess you. It has no idea about your injury history, your technique or your medical situation, and it never pretends to.
- It does not track you. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising, no advertising identifier and no cross-app tracking. We operate no server for the app, so your training data has nowhere to go but your own device.
- It does not measure your one-rep max. The 1RM figure is an estimate from a standard formula, useful for programming percentages — not a number to load onto a bar without judgement.
⚠️ Please read: Talk to a physician before starting any new exercise programme, especially if you are pregnant, recovering from injury or illness, managing a cardiovascular or joint condition, or have been inactive for a long stretch. If a movement hurts, stop doing it. Where you can, learn unfamiliar lifts under a qualified coach before loading them.
Where the training conventions come from
The rep and set schemes and the exercise terminology follow mainstream, widely published strength and conditioning practice — principally the guidance of the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
We want to be straightforward about the limits of that: this is general information, assembled from public guidance, by people who build software. It is not personalised medical or fitness advice.
Who builds it
Banana Is Fit is built and maintained by Firenze Programação, a software development company based in Brazil. Questions, bug reports and corrections all go to the same inbox — see the contact page. We would genuinely rather hear that something is wrong than not.
How it is funded
By the app's Premium subscription, and nothing else. We do not sell supplements, we run no affiliate links, and there is no advertising in the app or on this site.
The free tier is not a countdown to a paywall: building your week, the daily checklist, the rest timer and the 1RM calculator are free and unlimited, with no cap on exercises. Premium opens the second week of the rotation and everything the app remembers for you — notes, records, history and progression charts, plus iCloud sync on Apple devices.
This site
bananaisfit.com exists to show what the app does and to host its privacy policy and terms of use. It previously hosted a browser-based workout generator, which has been retired so we can concentrate on the app.
