## What is STRNGTH?

STRNGTH is the training app for athletes working with a strength coach.

Your coach writes your program in their dashboard. STRNGTH is where you run it: today's session laid out set by set, and a way to log what you actually lifted without breaking your rhythm.

INVITE ONLY
There is no sign-up in STRNGTH. Your account exists because your coach created it and sent you an invitation. If you are not already working with a coach on the platform, there is nothing here for you yet.

ON THE GYM FLOOR
- Today's session, exercise by exercise, with the sets, reps and RPE your coach prescribed
- Log load, reps and RPE without leaving the screen
- A rest timer that keeps running when you switch tabs or lock your phone, counting down on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
- A plate calculator that tells you what to load on the bar
- Swap in a substitute when the machine you need is taken
- Start your own timer when you want one the program did not ask for

WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL
Gyms have bad reception, so STRNGTH does not depend on it. Your whole training block is cached on the device before you get there, everything you log is written locally first, and it syncs by itself the moment you have a connection again. You will not lose a set to a dead zone, and there is nothing to remember to press.

CHECK-INS YOUR COACH READS
After a session you rate sleep, hydration, calories, soreness, mental fatigue and drive. Your coach sees those next to your numbers, which is how next week gets written from how this week actually went rather than how it was meant to go.

YOUR NUMBERS
- Personal records and estimated 1RM for the lifts you care about
- Trends across your recent check-ins
- A calendar of what you have done and what is coming
- Full history, session by session
- An exercise library with instructions when you are unsure of a movement

MEET DAY
Log all nine attempts as they happen, mark each one good or missed, and watch your total and DOTS move.

Accounts are for adults aged 18 and over.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.1 — 2026-10-20

New in STRNGTH

Coaches can now run meets from the app
Sign in with your coach account to plan attempts, enter weigh-ins and
call lifts on meet day. Changes save even with no signal at the venue
and sync when you're back online.

E1RM calculator
Find your estimated one-rep max from any set: enter a weight, reps and
RPE. It uses the same estimate as your records. Tap "Show me" to see
how that weight loads on the bar. Find it in More > Tools.

Coach notes on your workout
When your coach leaves a note on an exercise, you'll see it right
under the exercise name.

Clearer exercise modifiers
Each modifier, like Paused or Tempo, now gets its own tag under the
exercise name, and long exercise names wrap instead of being cut off.

Bar speed for velocity training
If your coach has turned on velocity-based training for you, you can
log bar speed (m/s) on your compound sets. It's optional.

A refreshed More tab and Settings
Your account and sync status sit at the top of More, with your tools
below. Settings is reorganized, and you can change your name and
password there.

Plus smaller fixes: fields in the previous-week view stay above the
keyboard, and the competition tag is easier to read.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-29

Meet day
• Your meet now opens on Info until you've entered your sex and your weigh-in bodyweight. Lifts, Warm-up and Results unlock as soon as you type a valid bodyweight, even offline.

RPE calculator, redesigned
• The chart is turned so it fits your screen. No more scrolling sideways.
• The lb/kg switch now changes the numbers. Kilos round to the nearest 2.5, so every weight is one you can load on the bar.
• Before you enter a max, each cell shows its percentage of your 1RM.

Also
• Built for iOS 27.
• Small fixes and improvements throughout.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-11

Warm-ups on meet day

Your meet now has a Warm-up tab. Plan your warm-up sets, check them off
as you go, and open the plate calculator right from the keyboard without
leaving the screen. Everything saves while you are offline and syncs
when you get signal back, so a bad connection at the venue costs you
nothing.

A smarter plate calculator

Ask for a weight your plates cannot build and the calculator now rounds
to the nearest total they actually can, and tells you it did. You can
also type a weight directly instead of spinning to it, and a plate you
switch off now clearly reads as off.

Know who your coach is

Your coach is now named on your home screen, and the notes they leave
you are signed rather than anonymous.

Also in this release

Fixed a crash that could happen when you reopened the app after leaving
it in the background for a long time.
