Kuta is the treadmill training app for runners who want structured workouts without memorizing every speed change. Choose from 23 coach-built treadmill sessions, including beginner intervals, HIIT, tempo runs, hill workouts, 12-3-30, VO2max sessions, and Norwegian-inspired threshold training. New in 2.0: describe a session in plain language and Kuta drafts it for you on-device. NEW IN 2.0: AI WORKOUT CREATION Kuta Pro now includes an on-device AI workout builder. Type something like "30-minute threshold run with 4 hill repeats", "Quick 20-minute VO2max session", "Fun fartlek with sprints and some hills", or "2-hour marathon block" and Kuta drafts a full warmup, main set, recoveries, and cooldown using your configured paces. Review the draft, edit any interval, then save. The same plan runs in active mode, shows in history, repeats from the Last Workout card, and exports to Strava. ON-DEVICE AND PRIVATE Workouts are generated on your iPhone using Apple Foundation Models when Apple Intelligence is available. No cloud. No account. No prompt history sent anywhere. When Apple Intelligence is unavailable or turned off, Kuta falls back to a deterministic on-device synthesizer, so a safe prompt always produces a workout. 23 PRESETS, FREE FOREVER - 12-3-30 viral treadmill walk - 30/30 VO2max intervals - Norwegian 4x4, 10x3, 5x6, and 3x10 threshold sessions - Tempo run, cruise intervals, threshold stacker - Hill power sprints, Kenyan hills, rolling hills - 400m, 800m, and mile repeats - Beginner intervals and recovery runs EXACT SPEED CUES Kuta speaks every speed change out loud. Voice cues mix on top of Spotify and Apple Music at full volume. There is no ducking, no pausing, no awkward audio handoff. You hear the speed, you change the treadmill, you keep running. INCLINE REMINDERS When a workout calls for incline, Kuta shows the target percent on the active screen and announces it. Kuta does not pretend to control your treadmill. It tells you what to set and trusts you to set it. REAL TREADMILL DISTANCE Distance is calculated from the speed and time you actually ran. No GPS lies. No "0.0 km" because the app thought you were standing still. Standing rests, distance intervals, and mixed sessions all show accurate totals. PACE PROFILE Configure your marathon, half marathon, threshold, 10K, and 5K paces once. Every preset and every AI-generated workout uses those paces automatically. Change a pace and your workouts update. STRAVA-READY SUMMARIES Every completed workout produces a Strava description with the interval structure, total distance, incline, and recovery style. Copy and paste into Strava in two taps. REPEAT ANY WORKOUT Tap a recent workout from the home screen to see the full breakdown, then repeat it with one tap. AI-generated workouts repeat exactly, interval for interval. KUTA PRO One-time purchase. No subscription. Pro unlocks: - AI workout creation - Unlimited custom workouts - Unlimited favorites - Unlimited history The 23 presets stay free forever. PRIVACY Kuta is 100% on-device. No account. No analytics. No tracking. No cloud sync. No third-party SDKs that collect data. AI generation runs on Apple Foundation Models locally on your iPhone. Your workouts and pace profile never leave the device. DESIGNED FOR RUNNERS WHO ACTUALLY USE A TREADMILL Kuta is not a generic interval timer and not a generic AI fitness app. It is built around the things that matter on a treadmill: exact target speeds, incline reminders, standing rests, music that does not dim, summaries that match what you actually ran, and AI that knows treadmill-specific session structures. Built by a runner. Tested in real treadmill sessions. ## Key features - AI workout creation - 23 coach-built presets - On-device privacy - Exact speed cues - Incline reminders - Strava export ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Kuta Pro | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (1 of 1) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kuta-treadmill-run-training/id6758765102/reviews.md ### 3/5 — Needs more library choices *2026-05-31* The screen display during the run is excellent, but I wish the library had 100x the workout choices **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.

Along with some small fixes and improvements. ### 2.1 — 2026-06-11 Kuta 2.1 puts your workout on the Lock Screen and connects to Apple Health. LIVE ACTIVITIES Start a workout and lock your phone. The countdown keeps running on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: current phase, interval count, time remaining, and your target speed. Updates land at every interval change, so the Activity is always right without draining your battery. APPLE HEALTH Kuta can now save finished workouts to Apple Health as indoor runs with duration and distance. Strictly opt-in and off by default, and write-only: Kuta never reads any health data. Turn it on in Profile, under "Your data". PROGRESS A new progress view: your totals, an 8-week volume chart, a pace trend, and your personal records in one place. Open it from "See progress" on the home screen. Free, like the rest of the core app. CRASH RECOVERY If the app is ever killed mid-workout (a call, a force quit, a dead battery on the charger), Kuta now offers to continue exactly where you stopped: same interval, same elapsed time, same distance. Paused, waiting for you. AI DRAFT REFINEMENT (Pro) Five chips on every AI draft: Shorter, Longer, Easier, Harder, More recovery. Each one reshapes the session instantly, offline, with no second AI call. Your paces stay calibrated. YOUR DATA, PORTABLE Export everything Kuta knows as a single file: custom workouts, history, favorites, pace profile, settings. Import merges and never wipes. Plus: duplicate any workout, a "Repeat my last workout" Siri shortcut, per-session audio mute, and a configurable start countdown. FIXES Favorites on preset workouts now survive app restarts (a 2.0 bug, sorry). Better recovery after phone calls mid-workout. Timers stay exact through long pauses and background time. Dozens of smaller fixes. ### 2.0 — 2026-06-01 Kuta 2.0 is the biggest update since launch. AI WORKOUT CREATION (Pro) Describe a treadmill session in plain language and Kuta drafts it for you. Examples: - "30-minute threshold run with 4 hill repeats" - "Quick 20-minute VO2max session" - "Fun fartlek with sprints and some hills" - "Easy 45-minute aerobic run" - "2-hour marathon block" Every draft uses your configured paces. You review the full interval list, edit anything you want, then save. The same plan runs in active mode, shows in history, repeats from the Last Workout card, and exports to Strava. ON-DEVICE AI Workouts are generated on your iPhone using Apple Foundation Models when Apple Intelligence is available on iOS 26. No cloud. No account. No prompt history sent anywhere. When Apple Intelligence is not available on your device or is turned off, Kuta falls back to a deterministic on-device synthesizer so a safe prompt always produces a workout. TREADMILL-SPECIFIC INTENT The builder understands treadmill running vocabulary: marathon and half marathon blocks, ultra and long aerobic runs, threshold and tempo, Norwegian-style sessions, VO2max, 5K and 10K repeats, fartlek, hills, and recovery runs. Prompts are routed to coherent session structures instead of being flattened. STRUCTURED WORKOUT PLANS A new structured plan model carries pyramids, mixed time and distance intervals, and per-interval inclines through setup, execution, summary, history, and repeat. Past workouts now show the exact session you ran, not a flattened approximation. SAFETY FIRST Prompts that mention injury, pregnancy, medical conditions, or unsafe exertion are politely refused. Generated drafts are validated and clamped before they reach the run screen. Incline is capped at 15%. Distance recoveries must have an active recovery speed. Speeds stay within Kuta's limits. ### 1.09 — 2026-05-21 Small stability improvements and bug fixes. ### 1.08 — 2026-04-20 Music no longer pauses at the start of a workout. ## Apps similar to Kuta | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Treadmill Workout: Running](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/treadmill-workout-running/id1547107953) | 4.7 (284) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Kinomap: Bike, Run, Row](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kinomap-bike-run-row/id611177969) | 4.6 (1,764) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [FitShow: Treadmill Workout](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fitshow-treadmill-workout/id1387360716) | 4.8 (5,161) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Intervals Pro: HIIT Timer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/intervals-pro-hiit-timer/id957586938) | 4.8 (13,511) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Treadmill Workout PushTraining](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/treadmill-workout-pushtraining/id6450863808) | 4.9 (678) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Treadmill Trainer Workouts](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/treadmill-trainer-workouts/id1440432804) | 4.6 (548) | Free | Health & Fitness | ## More apps by Erik Nielsen - [Quit Zyn, Snus & Pouches](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/quit-zyn-snus-and-pouches/id6762118238) - [dela: the art of dividing](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dela-the-art-of-dividing/id6766864158) All apps by Erik Nielsen: https://appshunter.io/developer/1874873080 ## Related topics [klura](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/klura) · [kuta](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/kuta) · [yesoul treadmill](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/yesoul-treadmill) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
