Maximus

Coach in your ear: Maximus gives voice cues mid-workout—before heavy sets, during rest, and when you hit PRs. It keeps you moving when your brain tries to quit. Progress you can’t argue with. Not just “sets & reps”. Maximus tracks: - RPE (how hard it felt) - Time Under Tension (how controlled it was) - Rest time (how you pace your session) Scan body photos to track measurements (arms, chest, waist, etc.) + changes over time. Privacy is built in: - Face blur by default - Photos are secured + only tied to your account - Delete anytime Log however you want: - Tap it in (classic) - Voice log (say the set, it logs it) - Snap a workout (photo → workout) For your type of training: Gym, strength, bodybuilding, calisthenics, ab workouts—whatever you do, Maximus keeps score. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
