🎂 Birthday Has a 30-Day Window
A birthday stays editable here for 30 days from when it is first stored — including one stored for you when you joined. After that the three dropdowns lock and you contact us to change it. The note under the dropdowns always says which state you're in, and names the exact date the window shuts.
It's all three boxes or none. Your age is what Heart-Rate Zones uses to estimate your maximum heart rate.
Leaving it blank keeps it editable — the 30 days only start once a birthday is actually stored.
Gender, just below it, locks too: once you save Male or Female, contact us to change it. Other / Prefer Not to Say stays editable. Your birthday and gender are what Health at Your Age uses to show what applies to you.
🔑 Email And Phone Are Your Way Back In
Forgot Login finds your account by the email address or phone number stored here, and password resets and login codes are sent to this email.
Changing the email asks for your current password: a box appears under Email Address as soon as you edit it. The change then takes effect when you save. The new address is not confirmed first, and no notice goes to the old one — so a typo here can lock you out of your own account.
The Backup email and phone are kept as spare contact info only — account recovery uses your primary email or phone number, never the backups.
Phone numbers are U.S. format — ten digits, punctuation ignored. An email or phone that another account already uses is refused, and nothing on the page is saved until you change it.
Clearing a field empties it. Don't blank both the email and the phone.
🎯 Fitness Goal Is Yours Alone
Fitness Goal / Intensity says how hard you mean to train, from Bare Minimum up to Extreme. Pick one and the note underneath spells out what it means. Leave it on — Select — and nothing is recorded.
It's private — nobody else sees it. Your muscle goals start from it: when you change it, every muscle goal still at the old level's number moves to the new level's, and a goal you set yourself stays as it is.
Different from Heart-Rate Zones' Fitness Level, which is where you are today and feeds the zone math. This one is where you're aiming.
🩹 My Problems, Injuries & Interests Is Optional and Private
My Problems, Injuries & Interests sits just under About You and starts closed — tap its title to open it, and qFIT remembers how you left it. Check every current problem you want to work on — a bad back, stiff hips, headaches, poor sleep — plus anything else you're interested in. Nothing is required, and nothing you pick is ever shown on qFIT or shared with anyone. Every tap saves on its own; the Save Profile button at the bottom has nothing to do with this card.
It does exactly one job. On your Checklist, set the Routine filter to Recommended for my problems and you get every ready-made routine matched to what you checked — all of their Targets and Exercises in one list. Check nothing and that option never appears.
The card opens on the Very Common problems; Show All adds the Common and Less Common ones, and the search box looks through all of them either way — every word you type, in any order. Not sure what a problem is? Tap the ⓘ at the end of its pill for a short summary, with a button to select it and a link to its full page. When to see a clinician instead is on Common Problems.
Press Esc in the problem search box to empty it.
✓ Saving, and What This Page Doesn't Control
Every field here waits for ✓ Save Profile — the one exception is the My Problems, Injuries & Interests card, which saves each tap. Leave the page with edits pending and qFIT asks first.
Tap any card's title to fold it away, and qFIT remembers which ones you left closed. A closed card still saves, and if one is hiding a field that needs fixing, it opens itself when you press Save.
City is the only required field. A U.S. city qFIT doesn't recognize gets a warning rather than a refusal: check the spelling, and if it's right, press ✓ Save Profile a second time to keep it.
Paste a whole address into Street Address — say "123 Main St, Ann Arbor, MI 48103" — and qFIT splits out City, State, ZIP and Country for you. A note under the box says what it filled and offers Undo.
Reminder delivery addresses also live on Notifications, and your username and password on Account & Security — not here.
Time zone isn't editable anywhere — qFIT reads it from your browser and keeps it current.
