GRVT Workout
Read full descriptionHide full description
Built for people who plan to still be lifting at 45 ā and who are tired of fitness apps that punish them when life happens. You got sick. You took a week off. You had a brutal stretch at work. Most workout apps zero the streak and paint the ring red. GRVT does the opposite. The Activity Path is a corridor: a rest line and a push line. Heavy days and light days both keep you on it. Sick days, travel days, recovery days ā part of the path. One quiet grace day a week. The app never tells you that you missed or failed. iOS-only, so it can use every Apple surface the cross-platform apps skip. EVERY APPLE SURFACE ⢠iPhone ā weight, reps, RPE, rest timer, supersets, PRs, volume. Offline-first via SwiftData. ⢠Apple Watch ā a real Watch app. Log sets from the wrist. Train without the phone. ⢠Dynamic Island ā the rest timer lives there during a session. ⢠Live Activity ā current set, exercise, elapsed time on the Lock Screen. ⢠Home Screen widget ā today's plan, one tap in. ⢠HealthKit ā two-way. Reads heart rate, calories, steps, body weight. Writes HKWorkout sessions back. THE ACTIVITY PATH ⢠No toxic streaks. Days on the path survive sick days, travel, and one silent grace day a week. ⢠Rest modes ā Sick, Travel, Recovery, Life Happens, Just Resting. Each keeps the path intact and changes the voice. ⢠Corridor, not a finish line. Hit the push line to go hard, the rest line to maintain. Both count. WHAT'S INSIDE ⢠4,000+ exercises with animated GIFs, difficulty, and form. Filter by muscle or equipment. ⢠AI plan generator ā goal, days per week, equipment, experience. A program in seconds. ⢠AI food scanner ā point the camera at a meal for calories, protein, carbs, fat. ⢠Macro rings and personal records. ⢠Coach dashboard for indie trainers who need client plans without an enterprise stack. PRICING ⢠Free: 20 exercises per muscle group, 5 custom plans, 1 week of history, Watch sync, HealthKit. No signup to try. ⢠Monthly: $4.99 ⢠Annual: $51.96/year ⢠Lifetime: $99.90 once. Every future update included. No paywall in the first session. No dark patterns. GRVT Premium is billed monthly ($4.99) or yearly ($51.96).
