Your workout plan. No spreadsheets.

• Hardy is a gym workout tracker and planner that takes care of your weight calculations, progressions, and workout tracking, so you can focus on lifting.
• Choose from 1,800+ public workout routines and press Start. Or build your own program with advanced progression rules, percentage-based weights, RPE, and more.
• Unlike basic workout trackers that simply log what you've lifted, Hardy understands your routine and helps you know exactly what to lift next.


PICK FROM 1,800+ WORKOUT ROUTINES

• Discover popular strength training programs, including 5/3/1, nSuns, Push Pull Legs (PPL), Upper/Lower splits, 5×5, and many more.
• Choose a routine, enter your personal strength levels, and start training. Hardy guides you through each workout, exercise by exercise and set by set.
• Or create your own routine from scratch.

Supports:
- 1 Rep Max (1RM) percentages
- Training Max (TM) percentages
- RPE and RIR-based training
- Working weights

YOUR PROGRAM PROGRESSES WITH YOU

• Whether you're following an established strength program or building something entirely your own, Hardy handles the calculations.


TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS AND SEE YOUR PROGRESS

• Tracking is not just for passively logging your workout history. Tracking on Hardy helps the routines actively calculate your next weights and progressions based on your routine rules.
• You can track your workouts with an easy-to-use, set-by-set tracker.
• And you can also keep track of your training history, exercise performance, personal records, and progress over time.
• Supports: Apple Watch 


SHARE YOUR WORKOUT ROUTINES

• Share workout routines with friends, your clients as a private trainer, or the whole community using a simple link.
• Others can then use the same program with their personal weights calculated automatically based on their 1 Rep Maxes.


LESS CALCULATING. MORE LIFTING.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-10*

Signed up a long time ago and it’s a great, simple app for those who know what they want. I set my own programs but the existing ones were great as well.

### 5/5 — Reliable gym app

*2025-12-28, version 1.0.175*

Looking forward to seeing new features added from the roadmap!

### 5/5 — Great but!

*2025-12-22*

Great app but need dark mode and a way to keep notes per exercise per workout!

### 5/5 — Amazing Workout App

*2025-10-21*

I absolutely love using this app, there’s so many options and other public workout routines that I wouldn’t think of, many of my exercises and workout plans are entirely improvised from other routines. i absolutely love the mapping of the app especially with being able to split workout sessions in one workout routine and still be able to keep track of what session i did using the calendar. It’s efficient and effective than having to write down how many sets and reps in a note app. I wish more people knew about this app since it’s been a lifesaver to me in the last 2 years, absolutely recommend to anyone who keeps track of their exercises.

### 5/5 — All my buddies use this

*2025-10-15, version 1.0.157*

I asked my friend “yo how did you get so buff?” And he told me this app was the key. So I’ve been using it too and it is very good

### 5/5 — The best fitness all ever

*2025-09-21, version 1.0.157*

It’s simple. That’s the best part about this app. Clean and simple. You get all you need for your workouts, you can share workouts, find programs from community, create your own program, etc. And it’s super simple and direct. No weird menus or forcing you to pay for premium or tricking you or whatever. Just a great workout app. 10/10

### 3/5 — Please add option to hide popular routines

*2025-09-13*

This is a solid app, but I don’t know why once I select a routine my home page is still cluttered by half a dozen popular routines? 

Please add a way to hide these from my home page. 

99% of the time I just want to open my already selected routine, when I’m between sets and lifting heavy all the extra options just clutter the home page.

1% of the time, when I’m not lifting and managing the app outside the gym, i like the extra options, but I’m doing this in a relaxed environment and can navigate the app easily. Thus having these all cluttered right on the home page doesn’t provide value. When I’m looking for more routines I’m going to look through them methodically and actively anyways. 

Who’s just clicking served popular routines on a whim except new users?

### 4/5 — Best/Simplest Weightlifting App

*2025-08-27*

This app has been really good to me, I have had not serious problems, everything is really easy to do. Although, the only issue is that the calendar bugs sometimes with previous weight and disappears.

### 4/5 — Promising app to keep an eye on!

*2025-04-21, version 1.0.139*

Just waiting on dark mode and a few other ui tweaks but this app hits the mark with what I need for the gym

### 5/5 — Best

*2025-02-11, version 1.0.135*

Best workout tracker that allows to track workouts in a more advanced way. Very aesthetically pleasing. And it’s free 🤯
