Most fitness apps assume you work nine to five. Formavo does not. Set your rota a week at a time, days, nights, or off, and Formavo plans your training around it. No more missed sessions because your shift moved. Built for beginners Every exercise comes with plain English instructions and a photo, so you know exactly what to look for in the gym. Calisthenics starts at your level and steps up only when you are ready, from knee press ups to full press ups, one rung at a time. Log food in seconds Snap a photo of your meal and Formavo estimates the calories and protein. Add up to four photos of the same item, for example the front and the nutrition label, for a more accurate result. You can edit everything before saving. Track what matters Calories and protein against your daily targets. Weight once a week, because daily weighing tells you very little. Sleep, so you can see how nights affect you. Everything lands in one diary you can look back on. No gym needed The calisthenics programme runs anywhere, at home, in a break room, on a night shift. No equipment, no excuses. Formavo is made by seyiHQ in Derby, England.

Gym tracker, strength training, running and cycling in one app โ€“ on iPhone, iPhone Duo and Apple Watch. Ghost against your Personal Best, Crash Alert outdoors โ€“ and your buddies live with you. No account. AuraX Arena remembers what you did last time and has it filled in for your next workout. Confirm with one tap โ€“ or change the one number that's different. STRENGTH TRAINING Over 400 exercises and 80 ready-made workouts are included, and you can create your own in seconds. During your workout: set, weight, reps, heart rate and calories. Rest starts automatically. Warm-up sets, drop sets, circuit training and a plate calculator. Personal bests and estimated 1RM per exercise, goals with a target date. Plans move on with what you achieve โ€“ not with the calendar: with a weekly goal, plan summary and a printable version. RUNNING AND CYCLING Outdoors with GPS: route, distance, pace, elevation, weather and heart rate. With "Performance", your Personal Best runs and rides along as a ghost and shows live whether you're ahead or behind. iPhone and Apple Watch show the same values. Indoors: indoor bike via Bluetooth with watts and cadence, treadmill with pace from your Apple Watch. CRASH ALERT Outdoors on the bike, skiing, riding, in the mountains or climbing: if you stay down after a fall, a countdown starts. If you don't tap "I'm OK", your emergency contacts get a text with your location. Not a replacement for calling emergency services. APPLE WATCH โ€“ EVEN WITHOUT IPHONE The watch runs your whole workout: start, confirm sets, rest, finish. Your iPhone can stay in the locker โ€“ the plan for the next seven days is on your watch. Run outdoors with just the watch, with its own GPS, ghost and taps on your wrist. Workouts appear in Apple Health and in your rings. BUDDIES Train together, even in different places. Create groups, invite by QR code or link, or join a public group. Sets and new personal bests appear live in the feed. React with one tap, send a voice message โ€“ also from the watch โ€“, comment, follow, find training partners and take over your buddies' plans. ANALYSIS AND REPLAY Volume, personal bests, 1RM, load per muscle group as a 3D figure, sleep and recovery from Apple Health. Replay any workout in 30, 60 or 120 seconds, with heart rate and ghost. Share it as a video (9:16 or 1:1) or as a transparent overlay. IPHONE DUO Unfolded, AuraX Arena uses the whole screen; half open, the Duo stands like a laptop โ€“ display on top, buttons below. YOUR LOOK Six designs: Black On Black (also matte), Neon, PaperWhite, Porcelain & Copper, Smoked Glass and Satin Glass โ€“ your Apple Watch can take over the look. "Today" widget. 20 languages, kg or lb, km or miles. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Your workouts stay on your device and in your iCloud. CSV export and import from Strong, Hevy, JEFIT, FitNotes and StrongLifts. 7 DAYS FREE, THEN YOU DECIDE Everything is open for seven days. After that, unlock โ€“ by subscription or once for life. You keep your workouts either way. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period in your Apple Account settings.
