Question 1

How does it decide what to change in my program?

Accepted Answer

Three inputs, weighed together. Your log says what you actually lifted and where you stalled. Apple Health says how recovered you are, from sleep and heart-rate variability. Your check-in photos say which muscle groups are behind the rest, and what your proportions favor. Volume moves toward what is lagging, loads step up where you hit your reps cleanly, and the week reshapes as you train rather than at the end of a block.

Question 2

How does it know a muscle is behind?

Accepted Answer

It rates each group from your check-in photos and compares that rating against the rest of your physique, not against anyone else. It reads shape and proportion over time. We test it by putting the same photographs through it repeatedly and checking it gives the same answer, because a rating that wanders is worse than no rating at all: it would report progress you have not made. It is steady enough to act on, and the app says what it is reading rather than claiming a precision it does not have.

Question 3

What do my proportions have to do with my program?

Accepted Answer

Femur, arm and torso lengths change which lifts fit you. Long femurs push a squat forward, long arms favor pulling over pressing, a narrow frame earns direct width work. Galb reads these from your photos, and because bones don't change, it votes across your check-ins instead of trusting a single camera angle. The picks it makes carry their reason in the app, and you can overrule any of them.

Question 4

How long before the advice is actually about me?

Accepted Answer

The first program comes from your answers alone: goal, experience, training days, equipment and your numbers. That is a reasonable starting point and no more. It sharpens with every session you log and every check-in you add. Honestly: week one is a good template, week six is yours.

Question 5

Do I get to override it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at every point. Progression suggestions appear after a session and you approve them before they touch your plan. You can swap any exercise, edit any day, exclude movements you never want to see again, and rebuild the whole program when your circumstances change. It proposes, you decide.

Question 6

What if I miss a week, or train somewhere without the equipment?

Accepted Answer

Missing sessions breaks nothing. The program picks up where you left it rather than marching on without you, and your readiness reflects what your body actually did. Equipment is a setting, so a home-gym or bodyweight week only ever programs movements you can load. Change it whenever the gym changes.

Question 7

Can I bring my history from another app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export a CSV from Hevy or Strong and Galb parses it into sessions, matching your exercises onto its own catalog so your strength trends carry over instead of starting at zero. Your history stays yours, and you can export it back out whenever you want.

Question 8

What do I get without paying?

Accepted Answer

Logging, programs, progress, Apple Health and the CSV import, free, always. Pro is the part that looks at your photos and rewrites your week: physique analysis on every check-in, your muscle map kept current, and coaching with your whole log in front of it. Before you decide, five analyses and fifteen coach messages are on the house.

Question 9

What leaves my phone, and is it used to train AI?

Accepted Answer

Nothing leaves until you say yes on a screen naming exactly what goes. With the coach on, your training data, your recovery figures and the photos you pick go to Claude, made by Anthropic. It is never used to train a model, never sold, never used for advertising. Galb never asks for your photo library: you choose each photo through the system picker. Your account lives in the EU, and deleting it destroys everything, photos included.

Question 10

Is this medical advice?

Accepted Answer

No, and it is built not to pretend otherwise. Galb gives fitness guidance. The coach is instructed to refuse to diagnose and to send you to a qualified professional for anything concerning your health. Photo analysis reads trends and proportions, never a verdict on your body.

Question 11

Which iPhone do I need, and how do I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Any iPhone running iOS 17, which means iPhone XS and later. An Apple Watch is optional: without one you lose the daily readiness score and everything else works. Cancel in your iPhone's Settings, under your name, Subscriptions. Apple handles billing, so cancelling never goes through us.
