Freeletics: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Freeletics is a fitness app published by Freeletics GmbH in Munich. It offers workouts in categories such as HIIT, calisthenics, gym training, weights, cardio, running and weight loss, adapted to the user's goals, fitness level and training location. An AI Coach adapts plans to the user's schedule. The service is delivered as a mobile app for iOS and Android, through the App Store and Google Play.

Freeletics GmbH is based in Munich, Germany, and its privacy statement refers to the GDPR as the legal basis. Amazon Web Services is named as the main hosting provider for account data, but the statement does not say which region or country stores the data. It does list a transfer of data to the United States under EU standard contractual clauses, as well as several other US-based service providers. The app is not presented as open source, and no self-hosting option is described. For a European organisation, the main points to check are the US transfers and the storage location.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Freeletics

Freeletics is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Freeletics hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Freeletics is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Freeletics together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
