Spottly exercise catalog
What it supplies: First-party exercise names, aliases, instructions, movement classifications, equipment, safety language, substitutions, templates, and detailed muscle-target mappings. This is private Spottly project material and is not offered as an open dataset.
Spottly anatomical graphics
What they supply: Original first-party front and back anatomical vectors connected to semantic muscle identifiers. Exercise details also provide textual target lists so the graphics are not the only source of meaning. These assets are private Spottly project material.
Product and user images
Provider product images remain linked to their verified source and are not bundled into Spottly. Custom-food and recipe images are supplied by the authenticated user, kept private, verified, and re-encoded to remove embedded metadata.
