## What is Gym Workout Planner?

Charles writes your gym plan, then coaches you through it.

We are personal trainers and coaches. We built Charles for the people we could not train ourselves.

Most gym apps log the workout you already planned. That only helps if you already know what to do. Charles does that part.

Stop guessing. Just train.

WHO BUILT CHARLES

We have coached in gyms in Munich and Berlin. A coach who writes your training costs more than most people can pay. So most people guess instead. They copy a split off the internet. They run it until it stops working. Then they guess again.

Charles is what we would write for you if you hired one of us. Same method. Same questions we would ask on day one.

He listens the whole time. Every set you log moves the next target. Tell him something hurts and he swaps the movement there and then. Tell him anything in the chat and he remembers.

Then every four weeks he takes all of it and rewrites the whole month. He plans in months and thinks in years. The hard months and the lighter months are placed on purpose, so you keep progressing instead of stalling at week ten.

A program is what somebody else did. A plan is what you should do next. Charles writes the second one.

WHAT EARLY LIFTERS SAY

"I never have to think about training plans anymore. Charles takes care of the structure, the focus, and the progression, so I can just show up and train."
Daniel Mercer

"I had a shoulder injury and was nervous about training again, but Charles helped me ease back into it slowly and safely. I'm finally rebuilding confidence and strength."
Emily Hartwell

"I travel a lot for work, so the holiday mode has been a game changer. It keeps me consistent without making training feel impossible when I'm away."
Marcus Bennett

WHAT YOU GET
- A plan written for you. Not a workout generator. Charles builds the whole plan around your body, your experience and your goals.
- It changes as you do. What you lifted last time sets what you lift next.
- It trains around your pain. Something hurts, you tell Charles, and he swaps the movement. No pushing through an injury.
- It is built for your gym. Tell Charles what equipment you have and he plans around it. Real exercises for the kit you actually have.
- It works with what you already wear. Charles reads Apple Health and Health Connect, so an Oura ring, a Whoop band or a Garmin watch tell him how you slept and how recovered you are. Your sessions reach your activity rings, and training you logged elsewhere sits next to your plan.
- Holiday. Away from your gym? Charles gives you short sessions so you never fully stop.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Assess. About a dozen questions on your strength, history, equipment and any injuries.
2. Get your plan. Charles builds it on screen. Your first month opens straight away. The rest open as you train.
3. Train. Open the app, follow today's session, log your sets, and get on with your day.

WHO IT IS FOR
Lifters who want structure instead of guessing. Beginners who want to start right the first time. Anyone who outgrew set logging apps.

Charles is built for the gym. If you train at home with no equipment, he is not for you.

WHY STRENGTH TRAINING
Thirty to sixty minutes of muscle strengthening a week is linked to a 10 to 17 percent lower risk of early death (Momma et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2022). You are not just chasing a number on the bar. You are buying back healthy years.

Charles speaks seven languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.3 — 2026-08-28

Charles proposes, you decide — and now he shows his working.

• Every plan change he suggests is a card you approve or decline
• He remembers what you tell him, and asks before he keeps it
• Ask about a lift the way you say it — ohp, pullup, RDL all land now
• See what Charles looked up before he answers, and open a whole past session
• Working sets ramp up in weight instead of starting flat
• Add an exercise mid-session even if it wasn't in the plan
• Every exercise picker opens on a list, not a blank search box
• A set completes only once it has the numbers to record
• Pages show their shape while they load instead of a spinner
• Fixed a launch screen that could stay up after the app was ready

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-17

Charles now trains around what he learns about you.

• Mention an injury in chat and Charles works around it in every workout he builds. He asks before saving it.
• Sore joint after a session? Flag it on the spot and your plan adjusts.
• Your likes and dislikes now shape every workout, including the quick ones you ask for in chat.
• Did some training outside Charles? Log it from Today or the Calendar and it counts on the day it happened.

• Sheets and menus are easier to read.

And a batch of smaller fixes.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-03

Meet the new Charles.

Getting started is a conversation now. Tell Charles how you train, what you have to train with, and what you enjoy — he writes your plan while you talk.

• Chat with your coach anytime. Ask for a workout, change one, or talk through your week.
• See what Charles knows about you, and shape how he coaches you.
• A rest timer that keeps your session moving, on or off as you like.
• Training days and rest days each get their own screen.
• Swap an exercise and get something Charles would genuinely put in your plan.
• Every set you lift shows up next time, so you always know what to beat.
• Your workouts now reach Apple Health with calories included.

Plus a long list of small fixes and polish to make training day smoother.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-01

• Live Activities: your workout on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — current exercise, set progress, rest countdown, +15s and skip without unlocking
• Pause and resume your workout — breaks don't count toward training time
• Target weight on every set, recalculated after each session — and your final set reads MAX to calibrate the next one
• Choose kg or lbs
• Rest timer: end-of-rest beeps and a stop control; the stopwatch pauses it
• History now always shows the exercise you actually performed, even after swaps
• One-tap logging for bodyweight exercises
• New training weeks start automatically — no more weekly check-in
• New in-app feedback form
• Bug fixes: exercise notes saving, timer sounds, accurate session durations
