How the app works

From install to your first logged workout in five steps. No account needed, you can start right away.

1

Pick your language and name

Open the app, choose Dutch or English and enter your name. That's the entire onboarding. No email address, no account.

2

Build a workout routine

Go to the Routines tab and tap +. Name your routine (e.g. "Push Day") and pick exercises from a library of 250+ exercises, each with instructions, tips and common mistakes. Set the number of sets and target weight per exercise.

Plan your workout

Tap a day in the calendar on the home screen and pick a routine, or build a free workout on the spot. Planned workouts show as rings in the calendar; completed days turn green.

4

Train and log your sets

Tap Start and check off each set as you complete it. Your previous weights are pre-filled as a reference. A rest timer starts automatically after every set, and the workout timer runs on your lock screen. Lifting more than ever? You'll celebrate a personal record right there. 🏆

Adjust the rest timer: Settings → Workout
5

Track your progress

Your streak is right on the home screen. The Progress tab shows your weekly overview, recent workouts, personal records, achievements and a chart per exercise. It shows in black and white that you're getting stronger.
