Abstract - In an era marked by escalating sedentary behavior and related health problems, the demand for accessible, effective fitness solutions is paramount. According to the World Health Organization, nearly one-third of adults (approximately 1.8 billion people) failed to meet recommended physical activity levels in 2022, contributing to rising obesity and chronic disease rates. For example, WHO reports that about 16% of adults were obese in 2022 , a condition that greatly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Meanwhile, the proliferation of smartphones and internet connectivity has opened the door for new digital health interventions. Unfortunately, many existing fitness apps employ “one-size-fits-all” routines and offer limited live coaching or motivation, leading to poor long-term engagement . FITBOOST addresses these gaps by providing a comprehensive, user-centric online platform that combines personalized workout regimens, progress tracking, real-time trainer support, and motivational content in one service. The system supports multiple subscription tiers, ensures secure data handling via cloud-based services, and aligns with global health and education goals (notably SDG 3 and SDG 4). Pilot testing of FITBOOST demonstrated enhanced user motivation and consistency: participants found the tailored plans and expert feedback especially engaging, and technical tests confirmed fast, reliable performance with strong data protection. These findings suggest that FITBOOST offers a promising model for integrating smart technology and AIdriven personalization to foster healthier lifestyles on a broad scale.
