Built is the best way to track your strength training workouts. Our streamlined approach focuses on the three pillars of progressive overload: weight, reps, and time. By focusing on tracking your progress instead of complex diagrams that show you how to do a pushup, you can spend more time working out and less time clicking around. WHAT USERS SAY "Best app for tracking workouts and progress. I used to hit plateaus because I wasn't tracking reps and weight, now it's super easy for me to see what I did last week in order to progressively overload on each exercise." - Kevin R. "I've tried every workout app on the market and none of them are simple enough. I ended up going back to using a weightlifting journal with a pencil and paper. Finally I found Built and it's exactly what I wanted. It has the simplicity of a journal but it let's me track in a few clicks and spend more energy exercising." - Emma S. "When I'm in the gym, I just want to exercise. I've been working out for a decade and I don't want an app that teaches me what a squat is. I just want to enter what weights I do and move on. For that, Built is Perfect." - Adam R. FEATURES • Log your sets in 3 clicks or less with our sleek well-designed forms • No made up metrics. Just what matters. • Create an unlimited amount of exercises and routines • Beautiful pre-built visualizations that just focus on what's important: did you lift more weight and do more than last time? • The routine builder makes it easier to group exercises together • Easily answer questions like "When did I deadlift last?" or "What day of the week do I workout most?" or "When's the last time I skipped leg day?" with our calendar history views • Dark mode HOW IT WORKS Just press the big blue button on any screen and it will do what you want! It's that easy. Built includes a subscription that gives you all access to unlimited tracking, visualizations, and history. There are no ads on Built.
