How we write our articles

The FitroLab blog answers the questions people ask about strength training, building muscle, losing fat and eating for their training. We want you to know exactly how each article is made, so you can decide how much to rely on it.

Written with AI

Every article is written by an AI model, in English first and then adapted for French-speaking readers in Quebec, using the words people here actually search for rather than a word-for-word translation. Articles are written for readers in Canada: weights in lb with kg, Canadian spelling and references such as Canada's Food Guide.

The writer is told never to invent studies, statistics, experts or testimonials, never to promise results and never to give medical advice. It is also told to answer one specific question well instead of padding an article with generic sections.

Checked before it is published

• An automated editor. A second, stronger AI model reads every article before it goes live. It checks facts about training, nutrition and health, looks for advice that could hurt someone, invented sources, promises and claims about FitroLab that are not true, and corrects the language. It fixes small problems itself and sends the article back for a rewrite when a fix is not enough.
• Checks in code. Our software measures each article's length, confirms it is written in the right language and runs a set of search checks. An article that fails is not published.
• One rewrite, then a person. A held article is rewritten automatically at most once. If it still does not pass, it waits until someone on our team looks at it.

No person reads every article before it is published. The checks above catch most problems, but not all of them.

Where the numbers come from

When an article shows how FitroLab would set up a training week, the sets, repetitions, rest times and week layouts come straight from the settings FitroLab's own plan builder uses. They are starting points: the app adjusts them to your goal, your equipment and your schedule.

What our articles are not

They are general information for a wide audience, not advice for your situation. They do not replace a doctor, physiotherapist, registered dietitian or qualified trainer. Talk to a health professional before you start a new training or nutrition plan, especially if you are injured, pregnant, take medication or have a medical condition. Our terms of service apply to the blog too.
