Roadmap

This page outlines the future direction of the Fitness Data Standard. Items listed here represent areas we intend to address in future RFCs but are not yet in active development.

Current Focus​

RFC-001 through RFC-005 establish the foundation:

  • Exercise data model with classification, muscles, and equipment
  • Equipment, muscle, and body atlas registries
  • Extensibility via vendor namespaces

These RFCs are stable and ready for implementation.

Planned Future RFCs​

The following areas are out of scope for the initial release but are planned for future standardization:

Workout & Programming Models​

  • Workout session structure (exercises, sets, reps, rest periods)
  • Training program templates and periodization
  • Workout history and logging format

User Progress Tracking​

  • Personal records and achievements
  • Body measurements and composition
  • Performance metrics over time

Authentication & Authorization​

  • API authentication patterns for FDS-compliant services
  • Data sharing permissions and consent models
  • Privacy-preserving data exchange

Additional Domains​

  • Nutrition and meal planning integration
  • Recovery and sleep data
  • Wearable device data mapping

Contributing to the Roadmap​

Have ideas for future RFCs? We welcome community input:

  1. Open a discussion on GitHub to propose new areas
  2. Submit an RFC draft following the contributing guidelines
  3. Share implementer feedback about what standards would help your platform

Timeline​

We do not commit to specific dates for future RFCs. Development is driven by:

  • Community demand and feedback
  • Implementer needs
  • Volunteer contributor availability
