Spade.Fit: Personalised Training That Adapts to You Spade.Fit is a fitness and gym workout app that adapts your training programme every week based on how you actually perform. Making sure you keep getting stronger every single week. Built alongside exercise physiologists and elite coaches, our Performance Adaptive Training engine tracks your effort, recovery, and progress, then fine-tunes your intensity, volume, and exercise selection automatically. Week by week, your programme gets smarter. ------------------------------ Whether you’re new to fitness, rebuilding after an injury, training around your menstrual cycle, or chasing peak athleticism, Spade.Fit customises every aspect of your workout plan to keep you progressing safely and effectively. ------------------------------ Three Things No Other Fitness App Does 1) Performance-Adaptive Training Your workout plan updates weekly based on your in-app training journal. If you find things too easy, it pushes you harder. If you're struggling, it pulls back your targets by just the right amount. Every rep is guided by a system that actually listens, so you keep progressing without hitting a plateau. 2) Injury-Adaptive Exercise Library Developed with world-class researchers, we curated our own biomechanical exercise library to automatically substitute movements that aggravate recovering areas. You stay in the gym, stay on plan, and stay safe, no matter where the injury is. Knowing how much of a burden injuries can be, Spade.Fit aims to fast track your recovery to the max. 3) CycleSync: Menstrual Cycle-Adaptive Training The first gym app to offer deep cycle-phase customisation. Align your workouts with your symptoms and cycle phases, adjusting intensity and exercise selection to work with your body. Decide how you prefer to train during your period, save multiple types of preferences and reapply them freely throughout the month. ------------------------------ Built For Every Fitness Level - Custom training splits tailored to your schedule and goals - Gym and home workouts personalised to your available equipment - Progressive overload built in from day one - Dynamic periodisation for beginners through to competitive athletes - Advanced tools for coaches and experienced gymgoers to build and track custom routines - Streak tracking and a performance dashboard to see your growth at a glance ------------------------------ Trusted by Athletes. Backed by Science Spade.Fit was developed in close collaboration with clinical exercise physiologists, neuroscientists, elite coaches, and championship athletes. By merging cutting-edge sports science with real-world usability, Spade brings groundbreaking scientific coaching to your fingertips. ------------------------------ Start your 7-day free trial.

Progress your way. Progress tracks your workouts, automates your progression, and takes the guesswork out of your training — so you can focus on lifting. WORKOUT TRACKING Log every set, rep, and weight with a clean, distraction-free interface. Built-in rest timers keep you on pace. Exercise notes keep your cues close. ADVANCED TRAINING Automatic progressive overload — set a weight increment per exercise and the app adds it after every successful session. No spreadsheets. No manual tracking. Pyramid sets — assign each set its own weight and rep target. The app sequences through automatically and the plate calculator updates for each set. Supersets — group exercises back-to-back with a live display of what's next so you never lose your place. Plate calculator — built into every exercise. Shows exactly which plates to load, updated for every set. Full exercise customisation — control weight type, sets, reps, rest time, and progression settings per exercise. AI PROGRAM BUILDER Answer a few questions about your goals, experience, available equipment, and any injuries or constraints. The AI builds a complete multi-week training program tailored to you. Not a template. Ask the AI to adjust it if anything isn't right. AI WORKOUT BUILDER Need a single session? Generate a workout built around your goals and equipment in minutes. AI NUTRITION PLANS Tell the AI your goals and dietary preferences — it generates a personalised nutrition plan with calorie targets, macros, and meal guidance. Export it as a PDF to keep on hand. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every lift you log builds your history. Per-exercise charts show your strength trends over time — weight moved, estimated 1RMs, and personal records in one view. AI COACH Ask the built-in AI coach anything — form tips, program adjustments, recovery advice. It knows your history and gives answers based on your actual data, not generic advice. APPLE WATCH Leave your phone in your bag. Track full workouts from your wrist with heart rate monitoring and a live rest timer. LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND Your rest timer lives in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen — always know when it's time for the next set. iCLOUD SYNC Your workouts, programs, and history sync automatically across your iPhone and Apple Watch. APPLE HEALTH Progress writes your completed workouts to Apple Health, keeping all your fitness data in one place. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from four themes — Forest, Ocean, Bloom, and High Contrast — and set your preferred weight units. Download Progress and start training your way.
