What is AI Fit Hub?
A free set of fitness calculators for lifters and runners: FFMI, DOTS, one-rep max, VO2 max, Zone 2, race-time prediction and recovery. Each runs a named, published formula, so the same inputs always give the same answer, and each page says which study the formula comes from and where it stops being accurate. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
