About

NextMoveTraining

Features
Read full description

NextMove is a lift tracker built for intermediate to advanced lifters who already train regularly and want real structured progression — not a beginner's guide to the gym. BREAK PLATEAUS WITH PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD Log your top set or every set, your call. NextMove uses your training history to suggest the weight and reps for your next session, so you always know exactly what to beat. TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS NextMove tracks 12 distinct muscle subgroups instead of lumping everything into "legs" or "back" — Lats vs Rhomboids, Quads vs Hamstrings — so your recovery status and weekly targets are actually precise. TRAINING BUILT AROUND YOUR SCHEDULE Set your weekly session target, pick a training split, and NextMove builds a calendar of suggested workouts around it — adjusting for recovery as you go. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Charts and history for every lift, personal bests, and estimated 1-rep max — so the gains are never just a feeling. CONNECT STRAVA Sync runs, rides, swims, and other cardio straight into your calendar alongside your lifting. AI-POWERED INSIGHTS Ask for workout advice or get an AI-generated weekly recap of your training — real feedback on what's working and what isn't. TRAIN WITH FRIENDS Follow other lifters, share your sessions, and see what your training partners are hitting. NextMove is for people who already know their way around a barbell and want a smarter way to keep progressing — not another app teaching you how to squat.
