Great for progressing smart and fast" – Thibaud - "The standout feature is the progression cycles, generated automatically for every exercise." – Guillaume - "Since the update added the virtual coach, I've been progressing nonstop" – Loïc YOUR CUSTOM WORKOUT PLAN Tell the app your constraints, equipment, available time, and goals, and it builds your weightlifting program. Whether you train at a gym or at home, even with shoulder, elbow, or lower back pain, your plan fits your situation. You can update any part of it later without starting over. A REAL STRENGTH COACH A good program is a great start, but it's no substitute for real coaching. SP Training is built on the method of Rudy Coia, a French strength coach, author, and trainer: progression cycles. They're derived from powerlifting strength cycles (5x5, 5/3/1) and adapted for hypertrophy. For every exercise, every session, your coach tells you exactly what to do: sets, reps, weight, and rest. It's progressive overload, done for you. YOUR WORKOUT JOURNAL Prefer to build your own routine?

The workout tracker and timer built for CrossFit-style training. Strength, AMRAPs, EMOMs, and metcons in one session, with clocks that run themselves and last week's numbers already sitting on the screen. Was it 60 lbs last week, or 65? Five rounds, or six? Guessing isn't progress, it's just repeating a number and hoping. Kyklo remembers every set, every round, every score — shows you what you did last time, then gets out of the way while you try to beat it. BUILD THE WHOLE SESSION Back squats at 80%. A twelve-minute AMRAP. An alternating EMOM to finish. Program it once and walk in already knowing every weight, interval, and rest period. No whiteboard photo, no spreadsheet, no Notes app between rounds. THE CLOCK RUNS ITSELF Rest starts the second you rack the bar. The EMOM counts your intervals and tells you what's next. The AMRAP counts down and asks for your score the moment it hits zero. A 3-2-1 plays over your music without touching the volume, so your phone stays in your pocket, screen off, the whole workout. LOG IN ONE TAP Weights are already filled in. Tick the set, it's saved. Score an AMRAP in rounds and reps, the way you'd chalk it on the board. Missed a lift? Mark it failed and move on — no need to explain yourself to an app. EVERY MOVEMENT, HOWEVER IT'S MEASURED Reps, time, distance, calories. Runs, rows, sled pushes, and wall balls sit in the same session as your barbell work. Hyrox sim on Saturday, heavy squats on Monday. Same app either way. BEAT LAST TIME Duration, volume, planned against done. Walk into your next session with the number to beat already on the screen. Turn a good one into a template in one tap, and share the card when it's worth bragging about. MADE FOR HOW YOU TRAIN Kg or lbs, km or miles. A built-in exercise library, your own movements, or both. Percentages off a rep max you've actually hit — not one you're hoping you could still hit. Stop guessing. Download Kyklo.
