Train for skills, not just reps. GetStronger plans your training week around the things you are actually chasing a handstand, a strict muscle-up, an L-sit and keeps the whole session on your wrist while you work. YOUR WEEK, PLANNED Give every day a focus and the app builds the session for you: warm-up, skill work, recovery. Add a second focus to any day when you want to stack a skill session on top of your main work. Tick exercises off as you go and watch the day's ring fill. A FOCUS LIBRARY THAT GROWS Start from built-in progressions for handstands, muscle-ups and L-sits, edit them into your own, or describe a goal and let the AI build one. Change an exercise once and it updates on every day that shares that focus. AI THAT ASKS FIRST Tell it what you want "my first strict ring muscle-up" and it asks a couple of short questions about where you are now before writing anything. What comes back is a full progression with warm-ups, skill work, sets and cues, ready to save into your week. PURPOSE-BUILT WORKOUT ENGINES Murph, with round tracking and split times. Hybrid rounds: run, station, repeat. Quick WOD: AMRAP, EMOM, For Time and Tabata, with countdowns and voice cues. Named workouts ready to go, including Fran, Cindy, Helen, Annie and DT. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app runs workouts on its own pick Murph, a Hybrid session or a quick run and leave your phone behind. Start a session on your phone instead and your watch records it, showing live heart rate while you train. Everything lands in Apple Health and counts toward your Fitness rings. STATS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Every session is logged with time, heart rate, calories and personal-record badges. See your week at a glance, keep a streak going, and compare sessions to see whether the work is paying off. BUILT FOR PRIVACY No adverts. No tracking. Your data is never sold. Your location is used on your device to work out pace and distance during a run and is never sent to our servers — no route is ever stored. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app. SUBSCRIPTION GetStronger is free for one month. After that a subscription is needed to keep using the app. - Monthly: EUR 5.99 per month - Yearly: EUR 39.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
