How it works, in eight screens

Everything below is the real app. Skim the pictures — the words are captions.

  1. The program wizard: equipment, muscles, program type and schedule, four steps in all.
    STEP 01

    Ask for a program

    Four steps: what you train with, what you want to work, the kind of split, and how often. Your age, weight and level are already known — you gave them once when you signed up.

  2. The equipment page, where you pick the gear you can actually train with.
    STEP 02

    Say what you can train with

    Nothing you don't own will be suggested. Add your bar and plates and every working weight comes with a plate breakdown.

  3. A program page: weeks, days, completion badges and a rest-timer choice. 1 2
    STEP 03

    Your program, week by week

    Days you finished are marked. Nothing is locked — swap an exercise, reorder days, edit anything.

    • 1 How much of the plan you've done
    • 2 Repeat a day you already did
  4. The logging window for one training day: timer, exercises with sets and weights, difficulty and Save. 1 2 3
    STEP 04

    Train and log it

    This is the screen you'll actually use at the gym. Tap a set as you finish it — the rest timer starts on its own. At the bottom you also rate how hard the day was, and that steers what you get next time.

    • 1 Start the clock — it's saved as duration
    • 2 Sets, reps and the weight to use
    • 3 Save
  5. The journal: recent workouts with buttons to repeat, edit or delete them.
    STEP 05

    Everything you logged

    Repeat copies a past workout into a new one, so a session you do often takes two taps. Deleted by mistake? It's recoverable.

  6. The progress page: level, workouts, plan followed, volume, and a body-weight chart. 1 2
    STEP 06

    See where you are

    Built from what you logged — nothing to fill in by hand.

    • 1 Level, volume and how closely you followed the plan
    • 2 Body weight and strength over time
  7. The exercise library with a search box, a video filter and equipment filters.
    STEP 07

    Look up any exercise

    Works without an account.

    Search by name, or filter by equipment and muscle at the same time. Tick the box to see only the exercises that come with a video.

  8. The map of places to train, with filters for street grounds, gyms and equipment.
    STEP 08

    Find somewhere to train

    Also works without an account.

    Outdoor grounds or gyms, free ones only if you like. Add a place you know — the equipment lists come from people who train there.
