Can I realistically reach my glute/toning goals at home with dumbbells up to 15kg?
I’m a 27 y/o woman, 157cm tall, currently 51kg. My main goal is glute growth — aiming for a 7–12cm increase (from ~93cm hips to around 100–105cm), plus overall toning and some upper body definition. I haven’t trained in years, but I plan to work out consistently 3–4x/week. I already have a diet and workout plan in place.…

Injury prevention
I am no longer a beginner in lifting, but I have made all newbie mistakes: Dropped weights during hip thrusts because I didn't know I had to put clips at the end. Regained my composure and hoped nobody really saw. 😅 Dropped a 35-pound plate on my foot while unracking, knew it would land on my foot, and tried removing it,…

Locking In & Making Friends
I'm 18, and I've been consistently lifting for about a year now. I've seen a lot of progress, but there's always room for improvement. Part of that is keeping better track of my calories, carbs, and protein. Add me, and we can stay in touch to make sure we achieve our goals.

Getting back after a long time.
I was injured in the military and really lost motivation to continue to work out and eat healthy after I was discharged. Fast forward through several major surgeries and a Crohn’s diagnosis, I’m trying these meal plans, working on getting steps in, and doing some light cardio/light weight lifting. I am 5’1”, 229 lbs, have…

Lincolnshire (Grimsby) fella, seeking friends for motivation & support
Hey everyone, I’ve been using this app for around 10 years (on & off). I eventually lost over Four stones, I started going to a local gym in Grimsby, and even started to look a little hench 🤭. Then, during a mid-life crises, I had the crazy idea of going to university to better my life. That’s when things spiralled out of…

Where do I start?!
I really want to start weightlifting... But I have no clue where to start. I can do the machines but should I focus on one muscle group at a time? Ugh I feel so lost.

Creating my own blue zone.
Hey y'all, I hope you are well in these quickly changing times. I rescue canines and have a soft spot for severely malnourished large dogs. A couple of years ago I joined a powerlifting gym specifically to strengthen in case a dog suddenly yanked out to get a pesky squirrel on a walk. My wife and I have had four rescues in…

Add Orange Theory Input
I work out at Orange Theory and your app does not let me log in really good exercise information from my workouts. Without this information I am losing critical information pertinent to my health fitness journey. If you can't add OTF as a partner, then please allow your app manual input to add the information.

Need routine ideas!!
Hi guys! For some context, I'm female, 25, 5'1 and currently 113 lbs. I used to be focused on slimming, got down to 100, but it was so hard to keep up I gave up and I'm just fully leaning into the fact that I gain muscle more easily. Now I've never really tried to gain muscle before so I really have no clue what I'm doing.…

How to stop obsessing?

IF and working out in the evening
Hey all! I've been thinking about hopping on the IF wagon. My problem is.. I workout in the evening after work. I get to the gym at 4:30 and workout for an hour then I usually eat a protein bar. The problem is, I usually want to stuff myself after a good workout. I'm not usually home to cook/eat until 7. I just don't know…
