Stop juggling five different apps to manage your fitness. TW Performance brings your training, cardio, nutrition, health data and accountability into one place — built by a coach with 7 years in the industry. TRAINING THAT REMEMBERS Log every set with weight, reps, and RPE. Your last session shows above each exercise, so you always know what to beat. Supersets, dropsets, a built-in rest timer, and automatic progress tracking. CARDIO, PROPERLY Runs, walks, rides, rows and swims with distance, pace, km splits, elevation and heart rate. HIIT and classes get rounds, work and rest times and your exercises in order — save your favourite circuit as a template and it's one tap next time. MY DAY Log your routine once and TW Performance finds the gaps. 20 minutes free at lunch? Here's a 20-minute workout, gym or home. 10 minutes tonight? A meal prep that sorts tomorrow, macros included. NUTRITION WITHOUT THE FAFF Search a huge UK and international food database, scan barcodes, snap meal photos, and re-log your usual foods in one tap. Eat the same breakfast most days? Save the whole meal and log it in one go. Your macros add up live as you go. YOUR HEALTH, IN CONTEXT Sync Apple Health and your wearable — HRV, sleep, resting heart rate, steps. See every metric over 7, 30 and 90 days with the healthy range shaded in, plus plain-English feedback on what's consistent, what's in range and what to improve. PROOF YOU'RE CHANGING Track your bodyweight trend with projections, and compare progress photos side by side, date against date. See the change instead of guessing. A WEEKLY VERDICT Every Monday, get a review of your week — what you did, what it means, and one focus for the next seven days. HABITS THAT STICK Track your daily non-negotiables with real numbers, not just ticks. Free to start — log workouts and cardio, track habits and sync Apple Health.
