Context
Fitness is global, but measurement systems aren't. If you're working with a trainer in the UK, they'll speak in kilograms and kilometers. Your US-based tracking app speaks pounds and miles. This mismatch is constant friction—you manually convert in your head or on paper between workouts.
Most fitness apps let you switch unit preferences, but comparing notes with international coaches, sharing lifts on social media, or following programs from around the world still requires manual conversion. You need reliable tools to keep your data consistent, communicate targets accurately with coaches across borders, and avoid the confusion of strength training when someone says '45 kg' and you think in pounds.

Why this matters
Training with an international coach
Your UK coach prescribes a 90 kg deadlift. Your gym equipment is labeled in pounds. You need to convert kilograms to pounds to match your trainer's target with your actual lifts.
Tracking distance across apps and coaches
You run 10 km with a UK running club, but your fitness app (built for the US) tracks miles. You need to convert kilometers to miles to log your workout accurately.
Comparing body weight and equipment across regions
You weigh 75 kg, but your US training program uses pounds. Your gym equipment lists weight in pounds. You need to know your body weight in both systems to follow nutrition and strength plans accurately.
Understanding height and measurements for fitness programs
A training program from Australia lists measurements in centimeters. You measure yourself in feet and inches. You need to convert to compare your stats against program benchmarks.
Frequently asked
My trainer prescribed 85 kg. I track in pounds. What does that translate to? →
85 kg is approximately 187 pounds. Use [Kilograms to Pounds](/weight/kg-to-lbs/) to convert your trainer's targets. This is especially important for strength training—your coach's prescribed weight needs to match your equipment's labels exactly.
I ran 10 km with my UK club but my app only tracks miles. How do I log it? →
10 km equals approximately 6.2 miles. Use [Kilometers to Miles](/length/km-to-miles/) to convert any distance. This is useful for international races, coaching programs, and comparing workouts with athletes in different countries.
I weigh 75 kg but my nutrition plan is in pounds. What's my weight? →
75 kg is approximately 165 pounds. Use [Kilograms to Pounds](/weight/kg-to-lbs/) to convert. This matters for calorie calculations, supplement dosing, and tracking weight loss or gain over time.
A workout video says 'stand 2 meters away.' How many feet is that? →
2 meters is approximately 6.6 feet (or 6 feet 7 inches). Use [Meters to Feet](/length/meters-to-feet/) for exercise setup spacing. Getting distance right improves form and safety.
My training program lists body measurements in inches, but I measured in centimeters. How do I compare? →
Use [Centimeters to Inches](/length/cm-to-inches/) to convert any measurement. Arm circumference, chest, waist, and leg measurements are often tracked; consistency between inches and centimeters matters for progress tracking.
How much weight should I lose? The program says '10 lbs' but I think in kilograms. →
10 pounds is approximately 4.5 kilograms. Use [Pounds to Kilograms](/weight/lbs-to-kg/) to convert weight-loss goals. Be consistent with whichever system you choose for tracking over weeks.
