FitnessAI Bot Tutorial

Welcome to FitnessAI Bot! This powerful Discord bot is designed to help you track your strength training progress, receive personalized AI-driven insights, and stay motivated on your fitness journey. Whether you’re cutting, bulking, or recomping, FitnessAI Bot is your intelligent training partner.

This guide will walk you through how to use the bot, understand its different tiers, and make the most of its features.

1. Getting Started with FitnessAI Bot

To start using FitnessAI Bot, simply ensure it has been added to your Discord server. Once it’s in your server, you can access all its commands using Discord’s slash command interface (/).

2. Core Commands: How to Use Your Bot

FitnessAI Bot uses easy-to-remember slash commands. Here’s a breakdown of the essential commands:

/log – Track Your Weekly Progress

This is the most important command, where you’ll record your weekly fitness metrics. The AI uses this data to provide tailored feedback and analysis.

Command: /log <weight> <calories> <protein> <volume> <rpe>

  • <weight> (float): Your bodyweight in kilograms (e.g., 75.5).
  • <calories> (integer): Your average daily calorie intake for the week (e.g., 2500).
  • <protein> (integer): Your average daily protein intake in grams for the week (e.g., 150).
  • <volume> (integer): Your total training volume in sets per week (e.g., 20).
  • <rpe> (float): Your average Rate of Perceived Exertion for your main lifts this week (a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is very easy and 10 is maximal effort, e.g., 7.5).

Example: /log weight:78.2 calories:2800 protein:180 volume:24 rpe:8.0

What happens: The bot will publicly confirm that your stats have been saved, showing a summary of the data you just entered.

/goal – Set Your Fitness Objective

Tell FitnessAI Bot what your primary fitness goal is. This helps the AI tailor its advice to your specific needs.

Command: /goal <goal_type>

  • <goal_type> (choice): Choose from bulk, cut, or recomp.
    • bulk: Aiming to gain muscle mass, typically with a calorie surplus.
    • cut: Aiming to lose body fat, typically with a calorie deficit.
    • recomp: Aiming to build muscle and lose fat simultaneously (often near maintenance calories).

Example: /goal bulk

What happens: The bot will publicly confirm that your goal has been set.

/feedback – Get Personalized AI Analysis & Recommendations

This command provides comprehensive AI-driven feedback based on your logged stats and goal.

Command: /feedback

What happens: The bot will provide a detailed analysis (1-2 paragraphs) of your progress, highlighting trends, plateaus, and whether your volume and RPE are appropriate for your goal. It will also offer specific, actionable recommendations, including suggestions for:

  • Adjustments to calories (if needed).
  • Changes to training volume.
  • Potential exercise selection adjustments.
  • Concrete progressive overload suggestions (e.g., “consider adding 2.5kg to your squats next week” or “try one more set of bench press”).

/compare – Compare Your Last 2 Weeks

See a direct comparison of your current week’s stats against your previous week’s.

Command: /compare

What happens: The bot will publicly display a side-by-side comparison of your metrics from this week and last week, along with a brief AI-generated insight on your trends.

/progress – Visualize Your Fitness Journey

See your fitness journey unfold with interactive graphs! This command generates charts of your key metrics over time.

Command: /progress

What happens: The bot will generate and send image files of line graphs showing your trends for:

  • Bodyweight over time
  • Calorie intake over time
  • Protein intake over time
  • Training volume over time
  • Average RPE over time

(Note: You need at least two logged weeks of data using /log for meaningful charts to be generated.)

/program_adjustments – Get Adaptive Programming Suggestions

Receive AI-suggested adjustments for your next week’s workout program, tailored to your RPE and performance trends.

Command: /program_adjustments

What happens: The AI will analyze your recent performance and suggest concrete, bullet-pointed adjustments for:

  • Sets/Reps for your lifts.
  • When a deload week might be appropriate.
  • Changes in exercise intensity/load.
  • General exercise focus to address potential weaknesses.

(Note: More accurate suggestions require at least two weeks of logged data. The AI provides general guidance for exercise focus, not specific workout plans.)

/history – View Past AI Feedback

Access and review all your previous AI feedback entries.

  • Be Honest: Provide accurate numbers for your weight, calories, protein, volume, and RPE. The AI’s advice is only as good as the data you give it!
  • Understand RPE: If you’re new to RPE, research it to get a better understanding. It’s a key metric for gauging training intensity.
