Who Writes This Site
My name is Pasha Mor. I founded 1RM.fit, I write every article on it, and I wrote the app you are being asked to download. There is no content team and no freelance byline pool. If something here is wrong, it is wrong because I got it wrong.
I want to be precise about what that qualifies me for, because fitness writing is full of borrowed authority. I am not a certified coach and I do not play one here. What I have is more than twenty years under the bar, my own training run through the app I built, and a view of what tens of thousands of other lifters actually log week to week. That is a different kind of knowledge from a certification, and it is the kind I can back up.
So the rule I write under is simple. Anything about physiology gets attributed to the research or stated as the open question it still is. Anything about what lifters actually do gets backed by our own numbers. Anything that is my opinion gets labelled as my opinion.
Why the App Exists
Most people who lift stall for a boring reason. They cannot remember what they did last time, so they repeat it. Six weeks of the same weight does not feel like stalling while it is happening, it feels like training. Progressive overload is not complicated as an idea, but it is almost impossible to run from memory across a dozen exercises.
1RM.fit exists to make that one thing automatic. It logs every set, puts last session's numbers in front of you while you lift, estimates your one-rep max from the work you are already doing, and tells you which lifts have stopped moving. Everything else in the app is downstream of that.
What 1RM.fit Actually Is
- A workout tracker on iOS and Android, with a web dashboard for planning and reviewing.
- One-rep-max tracking from your logged sets, plus standalone 1RM calculators and strength standards you can use without an account.
- A routine builder with free programs you can import, laid out in the workout splits guide.
- An exercise library of over 500 movements with form notes and muscles worked, at 1rm.fit/exercises.
- Nutrition tracking to go with the lifting: log food, hit daily calorie and protein or macro targets, and get AI-built nutrition plans from your goal. Free to use, with more under Pro like the rest of the app.
- Training guides in the blog, which is where most people find this site.
It is kilogram-first because I train in kilos, which is also why there is a kg to lbs chart on the site. Pounds work everywhere too.
Where the Numbers in the Articles Come From
Most articles here carry a box of statistics about how 1RM.fit users train. Those come from aggregate app data across 50,000+ lifters and more than 1.2M logged sets. They are counts and averages over the whole base, never anything tied to a person, and nobody outside this project sees individual data.
The honest caveat: our users are self-selected. They are people who chose to install a tracker and then kept using it, which already makes them more consistent than the average gym-goer. That skews anything we report about adherence and frequency upward. I would rather say that here once than quietly let a number do more work than it can carry.
What This Site Will Not Do
- No invented credentials. No reviewed-by badges from people who did not review anything.
- No supplement affiliate content. There is no revenue line here that depends on recommending a product.
- No medical claims. Training guidance is not injury treatment. If something hurts in a way that is not muscle soreness, the right next step is a physio, not an article.
- No fake urgency on the free tier. The app is free to use and the paid tier is additive. If a guide here is useful without the app, that is a fine outcome.
Corrections and Contact
If an article is wrong, tell me and I will fix the article rather than argue in a comment. The same address reaches me for coaching, press, partnership and bug reports: support@1rm.fit.
