Read full description

ASHA is the complete training app for people who take the gym seriously, built in Australia and now on your wrist. Log strength, running, cycling, swimming, walking and HYROX in one place, see where your lifts rank, and train alongside your mates and your gym. ASHA ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Start today's workout from your wrist. Every set shows last time's weight and reps, already filled in. Tap to log it, turn the Digital Crown to change the weight, and feel a tap when your rest is up. Run, walk and ride controls with a buzz every kilometre. On watches with mobile data and GPS you can leave the iPhone at home. Theme, weight step and more are set in the app under Settings → Watch. STRENGTH TRAINING Build templates with supersets, timed exercises and your own rest times, then just train. ASHA prefills your last weights and reps, shows your PB and previous session on every exercise, and detects personal records automatically. Finish button, auto-finish when every set is ticked, rest alert sound, weight step, screen-on and more are all yours to set. LEADERBOARDS See how your lifts stack up. Compete globally, or filter by country, state, suburb, sex, bodyweight, height and age. New: your gym's leaderboard and your group's leaderboard, so you can find out who really lifts the most at your gym. TRAIN TOGETHER WITH GROUPS Make a group for your gym crew, running club or mates. Share workouts to the group feed, compare lifts on the group leaderboard, check the weekly group stats and run challenges: most volume, most sessions, distance, heaviest lift or a training streak. Invite with a link or a QR code on the gym wall. YOUR HOME GYM Pick your gym from more than 2,000 Australian gyms. Filter your feed to people who train where you do. CARDIO & ENDURANCE GPS-tracked running, cycling, swimming and walking with live pace, distance and splits. Purpose-built screens for each activity, not a generic timer. HYROX Dedicated HYROX simulation with station-by-station timing, so you train for race day the way the race is run. GOALS, CALENDAR & PROGRESS Set strength, cardio and body composition goals and watch the charts move. Plan your week on the drag-and-drop calendar, set weekly targets, and let ASHA suggest today's scheduled session when you open the app. FRIENDS Follow friends, share workouts with photos, react and comment. Keep each other honest.
