About

100 burpees in 20 minutes sounds simple until you're five minutes in, breathing hard, and have no idea if you're ahead or behind. Workrate starts from your target. Enter the reps, the minutes and the movement, and it builds the pacing plan: how many reps each round, and when to rest. Press start and follow the audio cues. HOW IT WORKS • Set the target: reps, minutes, and a movement tag like 6-count burpees, Navy Seal burpees, push-ups or kettlebell swings. • Pick a pacing plan and preview it round by round. Swipe to compare plans for the same target. • Follow the cues: a 3, 2, 1 countdown before each round ends, a go tone for the next one, and a final tone at the end. Haptics too, if you want them. • Keep Workrate open on screen. It stops the screen from sleeping during a workout, and your music keeps playing under the cues. • Log what you got each round and see it against the plan. FREE • Every minute: your reps spread across one-minute rounds (EMOM style). • Steady pace: one rep at a time, evenly spaced to hit the target exactly. • Sets: a set count you choose, with rest between sets. • Freestyle: just a duration. Run the clock and log your reps. • Your full workout history, round by round. • Every sound pack, including the coach voices. WORKRATE PRO: PAY ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Three more pacing plans: Phased ramp, Rest hoarding and Surge minutes. • Progress trends: your best, your average and your reps over time for each movement. • Pro is free for your first 5 workouts, so you can try every plan before you decide. SAME TARGET, A DIFFERENT WAY TO GET THERE Stuck at the same count for weeks? Keep the target and change the pacing. Workrate is built for single-movement volume: 200 burpees in 20 minutes, 150 push-ups in 15, 300 swings in 15. Rounds are at least one minute long, so it isn't a 30-second interval timer. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account, no sign-up, no cloud sync, no ads. Workouts, tags and notes are stored on your device. Anonymous usage analytics can be turned off in Settings. WHAT IT ISN'T Workrate isn't a coach. It won't pick your exercises, judge your form, or change the plan mid-workout. It's for people who already know the work and want a better way to structure it.
