HealthX User Guide
Everything you need to train, track, eat and plan — in one app. This guide walks you through HealthX from your first login to advanced training and nutrition features. HealthX is built for adults who actually train: no gamified streaks, no shaming notifications, no ads.
What HealthX gives you
HealthX brings the parts of fitness that actually move the needle — progressive training, accurate macros, and the meal-and-shopping plumbing that makes nutrition stick — into one place.
Create Your Account
Creating an account takes under a minute. Go to the sign-up page and complete the form. (Sign-ups open at launch — join the notify list in the meantime.)
Use an email you have regular access to — it's used for password resets and any reminders you enable.
Your password is stored using bcrypt hashing — it's never saved in plaintext. If you lose it we issue a reset, not a recovery.
Opt in to AI-powered features (Atlas, Snap food, recipe import) if you want them. When enabled, only the data a feature needs is sent to Anthropic's Claude. You can change this in Settings at any time.
Leave it unchecked and you can still use everything else — AI features will prompt you to enable consent when you first open them.
Build Your Plan
Onboarding takes about two minutes and sets up both your training and your nutrition targets. HealthX asks a few questions and builds a plan around your answers — you can change any of it later.
Weight loss, muscle gain, maintenance, body recomposition, or Hyrox race prep. Your goal sets the shape of both your training split and your calorie/macro targets.
Sex, age, height, current weight and target rate. HealthX uses these to calculate your starting calorie and macro targets.
Select a split (e.g. upper/lower, full-body, or a Hyrox block) and your available days per week. HealthX generates a multi-week mesocycle to match.
You land on your Today screen with your first session queued and your macro targets set. That's it — you're ready to train and log.
Sign In
Sign in with your email and password. Sessions are kept in a secure, HttpOnly cookie on the web (or your device keychain in the native app). If you forget your password, use Forgot password to receive a reset link valid for one hour.
Free & Pro
HealthX has two tiers. Start free and upgrade when you want the AI and planning tools.
Your Programme
Most apps log workouts. HealthX programmes them. Your plan is a mesocycle — a multi-week block with built-in volume progression and a deload week, the same approach serious lifters and coaches use.
- Progression: volume ramps week to week so you keep adapting, then a deload week backs off to let you recover before the next block.
- Splits: upper/lower, full-body, push/pull/legs and more, matched to your available days.
- Your week: the calendar shows each session, rest days, and any shopping day. Missed a session? Reschedule it without losing your place.
Logging a Workout
Open today's session and log it set by set as you go.
Enter weight, reps, and RIR for each set. HealthX tracks your estimated 1RM and flags personal records automatically.
Swap an exercise for an alternative, reorder your session, or fix a set you mis-logged — mid-workout, without breaking your history.
Completing a session updates your volume, progress and (on iOS) writes the workout back to Apple Health so your Activity rings close.
Hyrox & Race Prep
Pick Hyrox at onboarding (or switch to it later) and enter your race date. HealthX plans backwards through base, build, peak and taper phases, with conditioning blocks that ramp toward race day — all eight stations and the 1 km runs between them.
End of a Mesocycle
When a block finishes, HealthX gives you a clear decision rather than dumping you back to zero:
- Keep going — start the next progressive block.
- Deload again — take another lighter week if you need it.
- Switch goal — move from, say, a cut to maintenance — without losing your training history.
Transformation Challenges
Join time-boxed challenges — solo or with your crew — to keep the streak alive and the volume honest. Challenges track a target over a set window (for example a 30-day consistency block or a structured cut) and show your progress, streak and where you sit versus others. Challenges are a Pro feature.
Macros & Targets
Your calorie and macro targets are set at onboarding from your goal and body stats, and they flex with your training day. Your Today screen shows calories and protein / carbs / fat remaining, so you always know what's left.
Logging Food
Log a meal in seconds — four ways:
Scan a product barcode straight into your day's log. HealthX looks it up against the Open Food Facts database.
Type a food name to search foods and your saved meals.
Pick from meals and recipes you've saved — macros are precomputed per serving.
Take or pick a photo and Claude estimates the dish and macros. The photo isn't stored after the request; the estimate you confirm is saved to your private custom-foods list for next time.
Recipes & Import
Save recipes once and they appear in your library with per-serving macros precomputed.
Meal Plans
Build a plan for the week from your recipes and meals. Your meal plan drives your macro targets per day and feeds straight into your shopping list. Meal plans are a Pro feature.
Shopping Lists
Turn your meal plan into a shopping list in one tap. HealthX rolls every ingredient across the week into a single, categorised list with regional price estimates (NZ → AU → US). Shopping lists are a Pro feature.
Weight & Progress
Log your weight and body measurements over time and (on Pro) upload progress photos. HealthX shows your weight trend and, with your training and nutrition data, an honest view of whether your goal is on track.
Atlas — Your AI Coach
Atlas is an always-on assistant, powered by Anthropic's Claude, that knows your training plan, recent sessions, and meals. Ask why a set felt heavy, get a swap when a recipe is fat-heavy for your day, or talk through a deload.
- Weekly recap of your training, nutrition and weight trends.
- Daily nudges when you drift — a protein gap, a missed session.
- Proposals, not silent edits. When Atlas suggests a change to your calories, macros or training, it shows you the proposal — you decide whether to apply it.
Apple Health & Watch (iOS)
On the iOS app, turn on Settings → Sync with Apple Health and iOS will prompt for permissions. With your consent, HealthX:
Your latest weight, daily steps, active and basal energy, resting heart rate, workouts, and last night's sleep.
Completed HealthX sessions are written back to Apple Health as workouts, so your Apple Watch Activity rings close automatically.
Crews
Crews are private, invite-only accountability groups with a shared feed for posts and reactions. Create a crew or join one with a code. Crews are designed to keep you honest without the pressure of a public leaderboard.
Settings
From Settings you can adjust your goal and targets, switch training style, manage your subscription, set your theme, toggle Apple Health sync (iOS), manage AI consent, and control notifications. Changing your goal re-shapes your plan without wiping your history.
Notifications
HealthX can send push notifications — for example a weekly meal-plan reminder or a nudge from Atlas. Notifications are strictly opt-in; we never push without your explicit permission, and you can turn them off any time in Settings.
Mobile & PWA
HealthX installs to your phone's home screen from the browser — no app store needed. On iOS: open HealthX in Safari, tap the Share icon, then Add to Home Screen. On Android: tap the install prompt or your browser menu's Install app. Once installed it runs full-screen and updates itself automatically.
Your Data
Your data is yours.
- Access: the app shows all of your data directly; email us for a structured export.
- Correction: edit your profile, logs, recipes and history in the app.
- Deletion: Settings → Delete account performs a full, irreversible deletion of every row associated with your account — training, food, recipes, weight, photos, subscriptions and push subscriptions. Any Apple Health data on your phone is untouched.
Privacy & Security
Passwords are bcrypt-hashed and all traffic runs over TLS. We never sell your data and we have no advertisers. AI features are opt-in and run on your data only — your numbers are never used to train any model.
