WINE is a Windows emulator that runs on Linux. I am currently running version 1.2 on Ubuntu 11.10.
This morning I installed FitDay for PC v2.0 using WINE on my Ubuntu machine. The results are as follows:
(1) I experienced a number of error messages related to a failure to build menus, however all menus appear to work fine within FitDay.
(2) The cursor doesn't always appear when it is in a selected field. I can type data into a field and verify that it is where I think it is, but it is not always evident where the cursor is until I do that. There have been a number of occasions where I have to right click on a field to "release" the cursor location and can then left click and the cursor appears. I do not know yet what combinations of mouse operations create this issue, but it is nothing more than a minor annoyance.
So far these are the only problems I am having. After I spend more time using the application on Linux, I will update the forum with any other thoughts or issues.

I have been using FitDay PC on my Linux machine for a month now. I am having no issues at all. The cursor issue that I mentioned before is even less of an annoyance than I expected.
This looks like a good product to run under WINE.
Thanks,
Wayne

Although there is no official version for Linux, you can try running it through emulators or virtual machines. By the way, when it comes to Windows, windows activator is often used for activation, which helps to avoid complications with the license. In the end, everyone chooses what is most convenient for their tasks.
