Her Rhythm is fitness that moves with your body, not against it. Tell the app where you are in your cycle and it recommends the right training for today - push harder in your follicular and ovulatory days, recover smarter around your period, and stop guessing why the same workout feels different week to week. WHAT YOU GET - Daily recommendations tuned to your cycle phase - A catalog of 36 workouts across strength, conditioning, and recovery - full body, legs, core, HIIT, intervals, running, Hyrox, yoga, Pilates, and mobility - Guided sessions with exercise videos, set timers, and rest tracking - Your own weights and reps, remembered per exercise - A calendar to plan your week and a history with streaks and stats - Cycle overview with phase, fertile window, and next-period estimate Your cycle data stays yours: it is used only to personalize your training, never sold, and you can delete your account and all data in the app at any time. Her Rhythm comes with a 14-day free trial. After that, training requires a Premium membership (monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, billed through your App Store account and cancellable anytime in your App Store settings). Prices are shown in the app before you subscribe. Her Rhythm is a wellness app, not a medical device - cycle estimates are approximations and no substitute for medical advice.
