I’ve used a lot of fitness journals over the years and this is HANDS DOWN the best one I’ve ever used! It makes daily tracking so easy and gives you plenty of room to write while still keeping the journal small enough that it’s easy to carry around. The paper is smooth and lots of pens write well on it (something I really appreciate!), it lies flat and is sturdy because of the hard cover and elastic band you can use to keep it closed. There are places each week to go over your progress and plan the upcoming week and it’s just enough to keep me focused and on track without being overwhelmed. I also love the tips, challenges, reminders and encouragement throughout the book! Last, I like that it’s a six week book… Mentally, it’s easier for me to commit to six weeks at a time than it is 3 months or 6 months like a lot of other journals, so add that to the list of things I love about it. I don’t use every single aspect of the journal the way it was intended (e.g., right now, I’m focusing more on food than working out, so I sometimes use the workout section for writing a sentence or two about how I did that day), but I love the flexibility it gives to me while still providing the structure and encouragement I need for my journey toward better health. I promise – you won’t be disappointed!!!

Nous trouvons intéressant de pouvoir y inscrire les objectifs au début de chaque sem/mois et d’y revenir à la fin pour faire un bilan. La partie nutrition est intéressante pour faire voir quelles sont nos habitudes et si nous consommons suffisamment d’aliments nutritifs.

I have been using the Fitbook for about 2 weeks now and I think it is a fantastic product. No fitness journal is going to magically make you lose weight, but if you have the motivation, I believe it is a great tool to help you keep track of what you are doing and to help keep yourself in check. The first thing I noticed about the Fitbook is how it is organized, and with it you have the capability to track a wealth of personal fitness information. With this product you can track all types of workout info, what you are eating, sleep, water consumption, as well as your overall progress over a 12 week period. Every week you set new goals in an effort to reach the overall goals set at the very beginning. Often in weight loss I think people can get frustrated because things are not happening as quickly as they would hope, I think this book helps with that problem, as it helps you take things one week at a time.
There are a few things I don’t like about this book. First, it kind of forces you to start on a Monday. Although on each individual day page, you circle what day of the week it is, on the weekly plan page, the days are filled in for you. Certainly, you could still plan your week, but things would be out of order. I think it would be better to let the person using the book fill in the days of the week on the weekly plan page. I think it would add to the overall versatility of this book as some people might want to start on another day for whatever reason. I also don’t like the use of the food pyramid as a way to track food. I think if I ate every recommended serving of every type of food, I would be gaining weight. Again you don’t have to use this book completely, but I would prefer just having check boxes for what types of food you have eaten, without the recommendations as there are so many diets out there, and everyone is doing something different.
Regardless of these minor complaints, I would greatly recommend the Fitbook for anyone who is looking for a great way to track their fitness over time.

I love it.

I’ve tried probably 15 different food/training logs and this one is what I would make if I was to pull the best features from each of those.
Small, but with a space for what matters most when embarking on better health and fitness, the fitbook is always in my purse.
Why?
1. It starts with a place to get clear on goals– not just an12 week goal, but daily ones too.
2. A place to log weekly stats such as your weight.
3. A daily food log that’s not cumbersome with calories etc– that’s outlined the way I like– 3 meals and 3 snacks/day.
4. Simple checkboxes for an accounting of water intake.
5. Simple checkboxes for nutrient accounting. ( I only use this to log protein and vitamins but there are more choices such as fruits, grains, veggies etc.)
6. A “circle the face” quick rating of how clean you felt your meal was.
7. Separate places to log strength training and cardio each day. I love this bc some journals I’ve tried outline only one type of workout on a day…so if you do weights on a cardio day you’d need to write in on the margin or stick a post- it on that page to log it.
8. A place to rate your workout so you know if you should adjust something next time.
9. A place to log calories burned during a workout.
10. The adorable pen that comes with it that clips right inside the spiral binding!
Honestly, I’ve been lucky enough to win an international fitness competition and this is better than the excellent log I used at that time to scaffold my success for that accomplishment.
Props to the fitlosophy people for creating this excellent tool!

Concept itself is good, but the item was missing pages when it arrived and the seller refused to provide support, telling me to go through Amazon for help. Not impressed with the level of service provided.

I love the amount of detail. There are sample pages for all of the different types of pages you can fill out for those who don’t know what to write or aren’t sure how to go about it. I think that’s a very inclusive detail 🙂 There are multiple pages and different things to fill in. I love the layout and everything about it. I just wish it were bigger or came with more options for a bigger sized notebook. Overall 5/5 stars because it’s exactly what it’s described as. I’m excited to use this while I lose weight 🙂 in fact I already started (even though I got it yesterday lol) best to start asap 🫡 I love it 🥰 if you’re thinking of buying it, it’s a great option. Just know it’s not a large book.

This is too small to really write anything in and certainly not worth the cost. Very disappointed.
