FitHalo is an all-in-one workout app for iPhone and Apple Watch. FitHalo tracks cardio, strength training, rucking, and specialty workouts in one place, with features other workout apps don't offer, from loaded carry tracking and Bluetooth equipment control to strength plans built around your schedule. Every workout also counts toward a single weekly challenge score, whether logged with FitHalo, Apple Watch, or any fitness app that syncs with Apple Health. ONE SCORE FOR ALL YOUR WORKOUTS Earn points from every workout based on duration and intensity, with bonus points for a variety of workout types and for staying active every day. Choose a challenge tier to match your fitness level, and compete with friends. STRENGTH TRAINING Track sets, reps, and weights across more than 700 exercises with video demonstrations. During a workout, FitHalo suggests the weight for each set, times your rest, and shows which plates to put on the bar. A muscle map shows which muscles each workout trained. ROUTINES & WORKOUT PLANS Build your own routines or have FitHalo generate one, then arrange them into a workout plan that fits your schedule. Routines and plans can be shared with friends. TRAINING REPORTS Create a PDF training report for any date range or a single workout, with every set, personal record, and muscle map. Print it for your records or share it with a coach or healthcare provider. RUCKING, WEIGHTED VEST & SPECIALTY WORKOUTS FitHalo is the go-to tracker for rucking and loaded carry exercises. Track rucks, weighted vest walks, stroller walks and runs, sauna sessions, and cold plunges. These workouts are tracked without negatively affecting your Cardio Fitness score in Apple Health.

See live data during workouts, control treadmill speed and incline, or adjust bike resistance directly from FitHalo.

FitHalo can also sync routines and strength workouts with your Hevy account.

Log strength sets from your wrist, with the current exercise and rest timer kept in step with your iPhone. Home screen widgets, lock screen widgets, and Live Activities keep you informed during and between workouts, including your daily step count goal.
