Lyfto remembers your training so you don't have to. Log every set in seconds with pre-filled targets, a live rest timer, plate math and warm-up sets built for you. Then watch it pay off: a Strength Score across your big lifts, per-muscle progress, tier badges from Novice to World Class and PRs tracked automatically. The difference is the coach. Lyfto's AI coach has read your entire history. Ask "what should I lift today?", "why is my bench stuck?" or "build me a program" and get answers built on your own numbers, including how hard every set felt. • Fast set logger with warm-ups, supersets and rest timer • AI coach that knows your workouts, PRs, effort and body data • Strength Score, per-muscle breakdown and PR predictions • Adaptive programs (PPL, Upper/Lower, Full Body, or your own) • 498 exercises with how-to guides • Weekly leagues, groups, a social feed and direct messages • Bring your history from Strong, Hevy or Fitbod • Apple Watch and Health: log sets and track heart rate on your wrist LYFTO PRO Logging, history, progress and the social features cost nothing. Lyfto Pro adds unlimited coach messages, the Smart model, the AI program builder, detailed stats and PR predictions, 50 progress photos, a weekly coach report and a Pro badge. Lyfto Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. The yearly plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

About

Primed

Features
Read full description

Primed is a gym workout tracker that knows the difference between a day you should chase a personal record and a day you should back off. Log your session in seconds, watch your numbers climb, and get one honest score each morning that tells you how hard to go. WHAT IT DOES • Fast logging: sets, reps, weight, warm-up/failure/drop set types, supersets and a rest timer that starts itself when you rack the bar. • Personal records, live: a PR is flagged the moment you hit it, with estimated 1RM and volume charts behind it. • Readiness score: how you slept and how you feel become one number out of 100, with a plain-English call: push, train as planned, or take it lighter. • Apple Health, optional: connect it and your sleep, resting heart rate, HRV and daily movement arrive on their own, from Apple Watch, Oura, Whoop, Garmin or anything else that writes to Health. Prefer not to? Type them in instead. • Apple Watch app: train from your wrist with your phone in your locker. Today's readiness sets your weights, rest runs on your wrist and each workout saves to Health. • Routines and plans: build your own, or start from ready-made programmes including race-style sessions and classic benchmark workouts. • Body measurements and progress photos: tape measurements by body part, and front, side and back photos. Your photos stay on your phone unless you choose to send one to your coach with a check-in. • A movement library that covers the barbell work and the conditioning: sled, ski, rower, carries, wall balls, kettlebells. • Three backgrounds plus your own accent colour, offline logging, and a full data export whenever you want it. PRICING, PLAINLY 14 days free. After that Primed is Ā£20 a year, not a month, with every feature included. No tiers, no add-ons, nothing held back for a "pro" version. Primed Annual is an auto-renewing subscription at Ā£20 per year, starting with a 2-week free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at the end of the free trial. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account subscription settings.
