Read full descriptionHide full description
Never sure what to put on the bar? PowerQuest writes your weeks for you. Tell it once how much to add and how often, and it works out the load for every session β raising it at the pace you set. No notebook, no mental maths between sets. YOUR PROGRAM, IN TWO MINUTES β’ Start from a ready-made plan: 5Γ5, 5/3/1, hypertrophy, no-equipment home circuit, Hyrox prep, running plans from 5K to marathon β’ Or build your own from a catalogue of 230+ movements β’ Expert settings (% of 1RM, deload, double progression) stay hidden until you want them DURING THE SESSION, YOU WRITE NOTHING DOWN β’ It all runs in the app: the exercise, the suggested load, the reps, and a rest timer that starts on its own β’ No watch needed β on iPhone or in your browser β’ Live GPS distance and pace, no accessory required AND IF YOU HAVE A WATCH β’ Apple Watch and Garmin β 45 models β’ Weight, reps, rest timer: all on screen, phone stays in the bag β’ Running: your pace, your target range, and how far is left β’ Your watch tells you in plain words when you're too fast or too slow, as you run β’ Gym busy? Swap or add an exercise straight from the watch β’ Works offline β a session finished without signal is never lost NOT JUST IRON Strength, running, cycling, yoga, mobility, and racket matches (tennis, padel, badminton, table tennis) scored from your wrist. Workouts done elsewhere come in too: PowerQuest reads Apple Health. WITH YOUR COACH A coach can assign you sessions, follow your stats and message you. You join with a code. Their cue travels with the exercise: it shows on your phone, on your watch, and during rest β right before the set it applies to. A safety cue is flagged as one, so you can't miss it. YOUR PROGRESS, WITHOUT WRITING ANYTHING DOWN Personal records, training load, consistency, per-exercise curves β all computed from the sessions you complete. Plus a recap of your week, month and year: sessions, kilometres, sets, weight lifted, and the split by muscle group. WITH FRIENDS, NEVER WITH STRANGERS A feed limited to the friends you've accepted β no public stream, no anonymous followers. Leaderboards for running, cycling, strength and records, by week, month or year: you only appear if you switch it on, and friends see totals β never a session's detail, your heart rate or your route. FREE, AND THERE'S NO CATCH Everything is open from day one. The subscription (from β¬0.99/month) removes ads β it unlocks no features.

Ratio is a complete workout log, built for building muscle: programs, sessions, progress. The whole training side is free, with no limits and no crippled tier. YOUR PROGRAM, OR NOT β’ Build your program in a few questions: where you train, equipment, days, muscles. Ratio composes it, balances the volume per muscle group and fills it with your loads. β’ Or train freely: start a session whenever you want, pick exercises as you go, Ratio remembers everything. β’ Programs are included, for free: hypertrophy, full body, push pull legs, upper/lower. β’ Coming from another app? Import your history from Strong, Hevy or Workout Factor: your sessions, loads and records come with you. YOUR SESSIONS β’ Every kind of session, every format: rep targets, RIR, RPE or free. β’ Smart progression if you want it: Ratio picks your loads and adjusts your targets during the session. Otherwise, you decide. β’ Calculated warm-up, adjustable rest, swap an exercise when the machine is taken. β’ Timer and sets on the lock screen: log a set without reopening the app. β’ Offline: the session runs without network and syncs afterwards.

AS A BONUS β’ Strength standards: where you stand for your body weight. β’ The Ratio assistant, with Premium: it reads your sessions, records and program, and answers your questions. β’ AI body fat, as an option, the only paid part of Ratio: one front photo, abs braced, and a vision model estimates your body fat percentage, FFMI, lean and fat mass.
