KINETIC — Your Workout, Your Way Track every rep, every set, every personal record. Kinetic is a workout tracker built for lifters and athletes who want a clean, powerful tool to log their training and watch their progress grow over time. LOG ANY WORKOUT Start an empty workout or launch from a saved routine. Kinetic supports both strength training (weight and reps) and cardio (time and distance), so whether you're hitting the squat rack or running intervals, you're covered. Add exercises on the fly from a library of 800+ movements, complete with muscle group targeting and illustrated form guides. SEE YOUR PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE Every exercise card shows your previous session's sets, so you always know what to beat. No more scrolling through notes or screenshots — your last weights and reps are right there when you need them. TRACK PERSONAL RECORDS AUTOMATICALLY Kinetic detects new PRs as you train and highlights them in your workout history. Your profile keeps a running record of your best lifts across every exercise. BUILD AND REUSE ROUTINES Create custom routines with your favorite exercises, set counts, and notes. Launch any routine with one tap and Kinetic pre-loads everything — just fill in your numbers and go. REVIEW YOUR HISTORY Every completed workout is saved with full detail: exercises, sets, weights, reps, duration, volume, and calories burned. Browse your timeline, revisit past sessions, and see how far you've come. LEVEL UP AS YOU TRAIN Kinetic tracks your total volume, sessions, streaks, and calories to award XP and unlock badges. Rise through 10 levels — from Rising Star to Kinetic God — and earn achievements like Iron Master and Century Club. Your profile is your fitness resume. SET GOALS AND CRUSH THEM Set strength goals (hit a target weight on any lift), consistency goals (workouts per week), or body composition goals. Track your progress with visual indicators and get notified when you hit a milestone. BODY MEASUREMENTS Log your weight, body fat percentage, and key measurements over time.
