Most apps remember what you lifted. HAUL decides what you lift next. Tell it your days, your equipment and your goal. It writes your program — then reviews every session and rewrites the next one, with the reason behind every number. YOUR COACH, EVERY WEEK • Every lift reviewed. Load raised only where you earned it • Stalls caught before you feel them — deloads predicted, not guessed • Every change explained, grounded in the training books it came from REAL METHODS, TO THE BOOK • 5/3/1 — Wendler's waves, built exactly as written • Starting Strength — linear progression, by the book • Hypertrophy blocks — volume ramps, RIR autoregulation, auto-deload • German Volume Training • Or a custom program built for your days, gear and goal TRAINING THAT RUNS ITSELF • Warm-up ramps written for every heavy lift • Exact weights, reps and holds prefilled — walk in and lift • Rest timer that rings through a locked screen • RPE tracking, supersets, timed sets, 234 exercises THE RECEIPTS • Volume, PRs and estimated 1RM, cycle over cycle • Twelve-week trends, one direction TRAIN WITH YOUR CREW • Follow friends, form a crew, climb the weekly leaderboard • Share sessions to Instagram • Leaderboard resets every Monday Your first program is free and takes 60 seconds to build. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 0.2.10 — 2026-08-23 Find any exercise • Search understands movements. Every exercise is now a variant of a movement — search "press" and get the whole family, ranked by what you actually use. • No more empty results. A query that's too narrow widens instead of answering nothing. Share your training • Share a program. Any program becomes a link and a QR — a friend taps it and gets their own copy to run. • Duo mode. Pair with one partner for a shared streak and a nudge when one of you slacks. • Share cards carry your personal link and QR, so a screenshot of your session can bring a friend in. • Invites land somewhere warm — a friend who taps your link arrives on your profile, not a login wall. Home • One clear action. Home leads with today's session, blocks appear as the week earns them, and the whole week lives in a single card. Coaching • 5/3/1 keeps its own structure — days follow the split you asked for, in the order the method prescribes. • Building a program, Vale now answers the limitation you just picked — train around a shoulder, a knee, a back. • The emphasis question asks with a body, not a word list. • Before you commit, onboarding shows what the block will do to your lifts. Fixes • Skipping planned warm-ups no longer duplicates logged sets. • The duration editor opens the session you're actually editing. ### 0.2.9 — 2026-08-17 Your coach got sharper this month. It builds around your real week • Programs are built to the session length you actually have, instead of a plan trimmed down until it no longer works. • The coach tells you up front when what you asked for won't fit the days you train. • Better coverage across your whole body, week to week. It stops losing your work • Ask for a new program and the old one stays — keep both, switch between them. • Your notes to the coach now reach every redraft. • Leave halfway through signup, come back, your answers are waiting. In the gym • The rest bell sounds even when the app is minimized. • The screen follows the exercise you're actually on. • PR badges count correctly, and every set in the log opens. • Your training week starts on the day you choose. ### 0.2.8 — 2026-08-10 Your weekly review got its act together: • The review now arrives once, at the end of YOUR training week set your week start in settings • No more blank exercise slots in the coach's review • Rep PRs badge correctly the moment your workout loads • Streak card now tracks your actual weekly target • Workouts save reliably offline finish anywhere, sync when you're back ### 0.2.7 — 2026-08-03 Setup • Vale no longer offers to pick for you. The method step already recommends one and shows its reasoning, so the question is worth answering rather than skipping. • Describe your own week in your own words. Ask for Upper, Lower and Full Body and that is the week you get, not the closest thing on a list. • One goal, not several. Strength and endurance pull the prescription in opposite directions, so you pick the one that matters now. Coaching • Your goal decides the reps. Choose to stay active and you are given work you can stay active on - not five heavy singles borrowed from somebody chasing a total. • A sixty minute session stays a sixty minute session. Nothing is added to your week after it has been checked, so the day you are handed is the day that was measured. • A cut changes the volume, not the shape. The training keeps the rep ranges that defend the muscle you already have. • Running 5/3/1 keeps your fives. The main lifts are left alone while everything around them still answers to your goal. • No set is prescribed past the point it stops being training. A rep ceiling is in place, cited, and applied to every program. Training • A set edit you typed is kept. Leave the screen with the keyboard still up and the number is there when you come back. • What you typed reads as typed. Your own numbers stay white; the greyed ones are still only suggestions. • A filled check means logged. It no longer looks the same before and after you press it. • A logged set sits on one line. Weight, reps and RPE line up whether the set is done or waiting. • Every set type wears its own colour. A warm-up is a warm-up at a glance and a drop set is no longer dressed as a working set. Opening • The app opens with the launch screen it was drawn for. Thanks for hauling with us. Keep hauling. ### 0.2.6 — 2026-07-31 Setup • Vale leads the setup now. One screen, one clear way in - the other paths are still there if you want them. • Your training method is chosen for you, with the reasoning shown, so you can take it or change it in a tap instead of guessing. • Step away and come back. Your answers are waiting where you left them, not on a blank form. • Nothing interrupts you halfway. The notification prompt and the health acknowledgement have both moved out of the flow. • The keyboard no longer covers the field you're filling in. Coaching • Programs cover the muscle regions they should. Vale is taught the anatomy up front rather than being corrected afterwards, so a leg day arrives with the quads properly covered. • No two similar days back to back. Your week is spread the way it was asked for, emphasis included. • The review describes the change it actually made. A week where volume went up is never written up as a cut. Training • Home always shows what's next. Day one included - your first session is one tap from the screen you land on. • The active set row lines up by construction. Weight, reps and RPE sit on the same baseline on every row, not just most of them. Thanks for hauling with us. Keep hauling. ## Apps similar to HAUL | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [RAMPOWER level up](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rampower-level-up/id6642704300) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [PowerWatts CH](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/powerwatts-ch/id6478157515) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Train Station - Haifa](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/train-station-haifa/id1463836752) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [SwimFlow](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/swimflow/id6670409649) | 5.0 (5) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [minusComfort: Personal Trainer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/minuscomfort-personal-trainer/id6758002305) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [A2 Fit](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/a2-fit/id6749952199) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | ## Related topics [strength coach app](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/strength-coach-app) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
