## What is Hardy?

A revolution in weight lifting and gym workout routine apps

Goodbye Excel and PDF. Hello smart routines!
Hardy takes the complexity of modern weight lifting routines and makes them as easy to use as Spotify playlists.


• Discover community-proven weight lifting workout routines and click start. Or create your own.
• Always know your next exercise and the optimal weight to lift.
• As you progress, so do the weights, based on routine rules.
• We guide you through the workouts, set-by-set, like a personal trainer.





• SMART ROUTINES
Modern weight lifting routines can involve boring calculating of weights and progressions. We automate this.
Discover and create routines where exercise set weights, progressions, overloads and deloads, are based on values of 1RepMax, e1RM, TM%, RPE, etc.


• DYNAMIC WEIGHTS
Weights and progressions based on your performance. Just enter 1RM-s & hit start.
Just enter your 1RM/TM figures and routine will display the correct weight to lift for you, based on the selected routine.

If you do not know your 1 Rep Max figures, no worries, we can guide you through that.


• TRACK/LOG ROUTINES
Workout tracking, reimagined. As simple as a music player.
Our app understands your chosen routine and progression rules, your 1RM-s, RPE-s, and performance. It carries you through the workouts set-by-set, like a personal trainer.

Just press Start and begin workout.



• DISCOVER AND SHARE ROUTINES
Discover and share routines, that anybody can start using right away with just a link. Like Spotify playlists.

### 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 🤯
