Works for Fitness Buddy+ Workout Trainer whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.
Touch and hold Fitness Buddy+ Workout Trainer's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Fitness Buddy+ Workout Trainer behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode; choose Hide and Require Face ID instead to move it into App Library's Hidden folder as well.

Why lock Fitness Buddy+ Workout Trainer?
Fitness Buddy+ Workout Trainer's privacy label lists health and fitness, location and user content — the kind of data you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. Health trackers collect symptoms, vitals and habits. In the US, most consumer health apps are not covered by HIPAA, so the privacy policy is your main protection.
Health and fitness apps can read Apple Health data only for categories you approve, one by one. What they collect themselves is shown on the label.
A lock answers one question — who can open the app on this iPhone. It does not change what Fitness Buddy+ Workout Trainer sends to its developer; for that, see Fitness Buddy+ Workout Trainer's full privacy report.
