Your data stays on your phone, always. TRACK EVERY SET Organise exercises by category and log weight, reps, and rest time for each set.

WORK WITH PERSONAL TRAINERS Print out your recent activity or create a pdf to send to your personal trainer. STUDY YOUR PROGRESS A 1RM line chart for every exercise shows your strength over 1, 3, 6, and 12-month windows — automatically rescaled so real improvements don't look like flat lines. See your top-10 all-time lifts, season bests, and session volume at a glance. SET YOUR SEASON Create a. customisable season and recognise personal bests and progress within the season as well as across all time. BODYWEIGHT EXERCISES Pull-ups, dips, and ring work log naturally.
