## What is Bare Bones Kettlebell Club?

Bare Bones Kettlebell Club is the training app for kettlebell lifters who want structure, accountability, and a community that actually shows up.

  BUILD YOUR WORKOUT
  Pick from classic kettlebell circuits — ABC, The Wolf, The Great Destroyer, DFW, RKC Deep Six — or build your own. Run them
   as timed sets, EMOM, ladders, intervals, or fixed sets. A built-in timer keeps you honest.

  TRACK WHAT MATTERS
  Every session calculates your Iron Index (total volume moved) and Grit Score (consistency + community engagement). See your
   training frequency, workout count, and progress over time — no fluff metrics.

  JOIN A PACK
  Get assigned to a small accountability pack. Share workouts, talk training, and keep each other in the game. Pack
  leaderboards and a global leaderboard make sure effort gets noticed.

  EXPLORE & DISCOVER
  Browse trending circuits from the community. Find new programming ideas. Like and comment on workouts in your feed.

  EARN YOUR BADGES
  Unlock achievements for consistency (Week Warrior, Iron Will), training milestones (Centurion, Brutalist), and community
  contribution (Pack Animal, Supporter).

  SUBSCRIPTION
  BBKC is free for 14 days. After your trial, continue with a monthly ($4.99/mo) or annual ($29.99/yr) subscription. Payment
  is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current
  period. Manage subscriptions in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.

### 5/5 — Build your own!

*2026-05-13*

I love this app! It is really easy to build your own workouts and share them with other users. It is also super easy to connect with other users. I really like being able to have a community and communicate within the app.

**Developer response:** Thanks heyteach!

### 5/5 — The social features are awesome!

*2026-05-02*

It’s such a pain to track kettlebell workouts due to their circuit nature. This app makes it easy, and also makes it social! I wasn’t planning on working out this morning, but when I woke up and saw two members of my “pack” had already worked out, I decided: if they can do it, so can I.

**Developer response:** Thanks Rob! Love your presence on the app. Please let us know if there are any improvements that you'd like to see :)
