You pick the program. It does the maths.

The app tracks your weights so you don't have to. Hit your reps, and the weight goes up. Miss a set, and it auto-adjusts based on your program. Give it a try.

The part other apps get wrong

Adding weight is easy. The maths that matters is when you stall.

This is a real GZCLP squat that stopped progressing. Here's what the app did about it. This is the bit you'd otherwise be working out yourself in a spreadsheet.

GZCLP T1 squat missed at 65 kg, so the app kept the weight and dropped from five sets of three to six sets of two.
You miss a sessionIt doesn't cut the weight. Missed your reps at 65 kg? GZCLP keeps the bar loaded and drops the scheme instead. Five sets of three becomes six sets of two. The app makes that call for you.
The GZCLP cycle-restart sheet: the app estimates a fresh five-rep max and suggests restarting at 85 percent of it.
You run out of stagesIt works out where you start again. The cycle ends, and the app estimates your new max and suggests 85% of it. You just confirm the number.
The why sheet for a held bench press: last session set by set, miss 2 of 3 banked, and the exact deload weight if the next session misses The why sheet after a GZCLP stage change: 5×3 missed at 100 kg, so stage 2 starts at 6×2 on the same bar
Every decision shows its evidence: last session set by set, the set that decided it marked, and the rule it was judged against.
The why sheet

Tap the chip and it shows you why.

Every session card has a chip showing what the engine decided: add weight, hold, drop a stage, or deload. Tap it and the app shows you what you lifted last time, which set decided it, how many misses you have banked, and exactly what happens next.

  • It tells you "that's miss 2 of 3". So you know one more miss means a deload, before it happens rather than after.
  • You never take the number on trust. The rule behind it is one tap away, not buried in a manual or a forum thread.

Adding weight on a good day is easy. Any app does that.

What matters is what happens when you miss. GZCLP keeps the weight on the bar and shifts the scheme: 5×3 to 6×2 to 10×1, then resets your 5RM. Every program's actual failure logic is baked into the app, not just the happy path.

The catalogue

50 programs run the way their authors intended.

A template is a list of exercises. A program tells you what to lift next week based on what you lifted this week. These are the second kind. The rep schemes, the percentages, the progression, the deloads: all of it comes across the way the author wrote it.

Nine to start with

See all 50 programs →

None of them quite you? Build your own. Set the lifts, the sets and reps, the weeks, and the same progression engine runs it session to session.

Build your own Pro

Build your own routine, and give any lift a progression rule.

Build a routine from scratch, set the sets and reps you want, and attach progression logic directly to any lift. The multi-stage rules that programs like GZCLP use are written for those programs and stay tied to them.

  • Linear. Add a fixed weight every session or every week. Set how many misses in a row trigger a deload, and how much weight it strips.
  • Double progression. Work up through a rep range across your sets. Hit the top of the range on every working set and the weight goes up, with the reps back to the baseline.
  • Training max percentages. Sets resolve as a percentage of your training max. Hit your target reps on the AMRAP set and the training max goes up, either after every AMRAP or at the end of the cycle.
  • Applied in one tap. To one lift on one day, to every instance of that lift, or across the whole program.

Free builds up to four sessions of your own. Sessions you import and programs from the catalogue don't count towards it, and every catalogue program progresses for free. Adding a progression rule to a session you built or imported is Pro.

Choosing a progression rule for a lift on your own plan: linear selected, with increment, misses before deload, deload percent and cadence editable The same rule applied wider in one save: this day only, every day the lift appears, every lift with no rule yet, or the whole plan
A linear rule on your own bench press: the increment, the misses before a deload, how deep it cuts, and how widely to apply it.
The logger

Even if you're not running a program, it's still the fastest way to log a set.

Underneath the program engine is a full workout logger, and it works offline.

  • A dashboard you arrange. Reorder the cards, pick your views, or hide whatever you don't use.
  • 376 exercise videos. 415 exercises in all, with step-by-step form cues, so you never have to guess from a name.
  • Ten set types and supersets. Warm-ups, top sets, backoffs, drop sets, rest-pause, AMRAPs, partials, unilateral work, and percentage sets worked out from your training max or your best lift.
  • Built-in calculators. One tap for the warm-up ramp, the plates to load per side, and an estimated rep max.
  • A rest timer that shows what is next. Fullscreen countdown with the next set previewed, and a line from your own history while you recover, like how long your bench record stood.
  • Fatigue tracking. A gauge for how your reps are holding up across the session, from fresh through to peak.
  • Flexible scheduling. Drag a session to a different day without breaking progression. The weights and targets move with it.
  • Offline first. It logs locally in dead-zone gyms and syncs when you're back on Wi-Fi or signal.
  • Health app sync. Runs, rides and swims come in on their own, onto a cardio panel and your dashboard.

102.5 kg on a 20 kg bar: two 20s and a 1.25 each side, with the rack numbers you saved last time.
Setup Next Pro

Know your exact setup before you stand up off the bench.

The app has the plate maths, the pin number and the seat notch for the weight your next set needs, worked out from the equipment you have available.

  • Visual plate maths. The total, the per-side breakdown, and a diagram of the loaded bar. Dumbbells and pin-stack machines get their own view.
  • Saved machine settings. J-hook heights, safety pins, seat notches, bench angles and your gear: belt, sleeves and the bar you used. Set them once and they carry over to every session.
  • Rest screen previews. While you're resting, a Setup Next badge says what to change for the next exercise. If nothing changes between sets, it stays out of your way.
  • Multi-gym profiles. Add more than one gym, each with its own plates, pin increments and machines. Your targets and your records follow wherever you're training that day.

Setup Next and multiple gyms are Pro. The plate calculator on its own stays free.

The analytics

Every set you log turns into something you can read.

Which muscles did the work, whether a lift is going anywhere, and what the engine decided at every session and why.

The fullscreen Strength story in landscape: an estimated-1RM line over bar-weight dots, records flagged, misses and deloads marked, with the tapped session's verdict card below
One lift, its whole historyThe strength story. Estimated 1RM across every session you've logged, with records flagged, the day the bar went up in green and the deload in red. Open the full story and drag along it to read what the engine decided on any day.

Where the work wentMuscle by muscle. The ones you hit are lit up, and the ones you've been skipping are obvious at a glance.

All the charts and numbers are free. Six cards go further and tell you what the numbers mean: Load & Recovery, Strength Standards, the Imbalance Detector, Exercise Trends, Compare Exercises and Sleep & Performance. Those six are Pro.

A Durata In Review month report: recap card, real volume and PR stats, and a training-day strip The PR board listing personal records per exercise with estimated one-rep maxes The goals panel with a strength goal in progress and a projected achievement date Body metrics: the body-weight trend over three months with measurements below
The month in review, the PR board, a goal with a forecast date on it, and the body-weight trend.
The rest of you

Strength is only half the picture.

Track your body weight, the physical changes and your long-term goals alongside your lifting stats.

  • Monthly reviews. Every month closes with a full breakdown: total sessions, volume moved, new PRs, and how consistently you turned up.
  • Goal forecasting. Set a strength or body-weight target and the app projects the date you will hit it from your current trend.
  • Metrics and progress photos. Weight, measurements and side-by-side photo comparisons in one place. Pro plays the photos back as a time-lapse.
  • An all-time PR board. Every record across every exercise, including the ones in an imported history.
  • Shareable workout cards. A heavy session, a new PR or a month in review becomes a card you can post anywhere.

Import a session Pro

Got a workout on a whiteboard, in a PDF or in a message? Import it.

Photograph it, pick the page, or paste the text, and the app reads that one workout back as exercises, sets and reps. You check every row against the line it came from before anything is saved.

  • One session at a time. A photo or two of the same workout, one page of a PDF and the next if it runs over, or pasted text. Not a block, not a book: an import small enough that you can actually check it before you accept it.
  • You check it before it’s saved. Every exercise gets a coloured dot for how confident the read was, and you can open it to see the line it was read from. Amber means check it before you save. Red means it will not save until you fix it.
  • Percentages and rep ranges are kept. If the workout says 3×8 at 85%, the app keeps the percentage and works the weight out from your training max, or from your best lift if you have not set one. Rep ranges and RPE targets stay as written too.
  • Back-offs, drop sets and supersets survive. A top set with back-offs under it comes in with those set types on the right sets rather than flattened, and two lifts marked as a pair come in supersetted.

Pro includes 10 imports a month, and a read that comes back with nothing usable is handed back rather than counted. Importing from Hevy or Strong is free, and is covered just below.

Coming from Hevy or Strong? Importing is free.

Bring your history. We'll show you what it's been hiding.

Bring your full history over from Hevy or Strong so the analytics start with everything you have already done, not from day one of using this app.

  • Hevy Pro sync. Connect your API key and your workouts and routines pull across on their own.
  • CSV import, Hevy or Strong. Export the CSV from either app and upload the file. Workouts, custom exercises, sets, reps and weights all transfer.
  • Your records arrive as records. The PR board, the volume charts and the muscle splits read the whole imported history straight away, so what you see are your true all-time bests.

Progression tracking starts the day you run a program in the app.

The proof

We ran the programs start to finish. Here are the logs.

We drove 49 complete program runs through the engine, stalls, forced deloads and scheme resets included, so you can see exactly how it behaves over a real training cycle. Every calculation is written down, and we keep them current as the app changes. Read the logs before you commit to a twelve-week block. The bodyweight program is the one we have not driven, because it has no weight progressions to drive.
