Fitness Score

A score that only goes up

Your Fitness Score starts at 0 and grows with heavier lifts, more reps, faster runs and every finished workout. A light week or time off never takes points away.

• StrengthYour best lift in each movement. Bench 135 lb = 10 points, and every 5 lb adds 1.
• BodyweightYour best reps: 8 pull-ups, 12 dips or 30 push-ups = 10 points each.
• CardioYour best times and longest efforts. A 30:00 5K = 10 points, a 25:00 5K = 16.
• EffortAbout 1 point for every finished workout: 0.5 for a short, easy one, up to 2 for a long, hard one.

Work out yours

Type in your bests. The calculator uses the same formulas as the app. Leave anything blank that you don’t do.

How each part is worked out

Strength

Each movement scores its single best lift, from your estimated one-rep max. Other lifts are compared with the bench press, so a 205 lb squat counts like a 132 lb bench: the squat is divided by 1.55, the deadlift by 1.8 and the overhead press by 0.7. Those ratios come from the app’s strength standards for men and women at every level.

Below a 110 lb bench-equivalent the points start slowly (a 95 lb bench is 2.5), so a first lift still counts. Rows, pulldowns and machines count too, at a lower weight; ten curl variations count as one curl.

Bodyweight

Your best set in each family: 8 pull-ups, 12 dips or 30 push-ups = 10 points, rising in a straight line up to three times that. Weighted pull-ups and dips turn into extra reps. Core and leg moves count a little.

Cardio

Running speed is judged as a 5K: 45:00 = 0 points, 30:00 = 10, 25:00 = 16, 20:00 = 25. Longer and shorter races are converted with Riegel’s formula. Your longest run adds more (a 10K = 10, a marathon = 31.6), and every mile adds 0.1. Rides, swims and rucks have their own scales.

Effort

Every finished workout or cardio session of 10 minutes or 1 mile adds about 1 point: about 0.5 for a short or easy one, up to 2 for a long, hard one, at most 2.5 a day. Skipped sessions add nothing.

The rules

• It never goes down. Bests only move up and finished workouts only add. Only deleting the session that earned points removes them.
• Points this week count only what you do in the app: logged sets, finished workouts, runs and max-out days. They power the weekly squad leaderboards.
• Maxes you type in count toward your total, never toward this week’s points, so nobody can type in a 405 lb bench and win the week.
• Big jumps wait. A best that jumps more than 15% in one session counts up to +15% until another day confirms it.
