BUILT BY SOMEONE ON THE TOOLS
Work is physical.
Training
matters too.
I’m Jhonel, a carpenter and former personal trainer.
I built FBY to help people fit strength training around a physical job. A plan to follow, progress to record and room to adjust when work takes it out of you.

Full early-access detailsWhat if I’m exhausted after work?
Warm up and review your day-colour recommendation. Green follows the plan; Amber scales it back. On Red days, scale back or rest according to your program. You can adjust the recommendation to match how you feel. This is training guidance, not medical clearance. Skip training if you are unwell or pain is worsening.
What stays free?
The complete three-day Foundations program, up to four saved custom workouts, unlimited logging, daily check-ins, session adjustments, rest timer, basic progress tracking, nutrition logging and guides. Free has no expiry and does not automatically charge you.
Do I need to download an app?
No app-store download is needed. Use FBY in your browser, or add it to your home screen. Create an account and confirm your email to save your training across devices.
Is this personal coaching?
No. FBY is self-guided, without individual coaching or live supervision. Contact FBY for help using the app or choosing a starting point.
