Learn each lift

Every lift, shown moving

Each exercise has its own moving figure, with the muscles it works lit up and three plain steps underneath. Machine taken? Alternatives work the same muscles.

How it works

From your first plan to your next best

1

Pick a plan

Tap how many days you can train and choose from 12 ready-made plans. Each one says why it's built that way, in plain words, and you can change anything later.

  • 2 to 6 days a week, about 35 to 75 minutes
  • Beginner plans start on machines, which guide the movement
  • Popular programmes for when you're ready for more

2

Log a set in one tap

Last time's weight and reps are already in every set, so a set that matches is one tap. Then Liftling sets a target for next time.

  • A target for every set: one more rep, or a little more weight
  • The target follows your heaviest set, wherever you do it
  • A rest timer for each exercise, with a countdown on your lock screen

3

See what's getting stronger

A body map shows which muscles are getting stronger, compared week by week. Tap one for its lifts and a chart.

  • Each muscle, your last 6 weeks against the 6 before
  • Stuck lifts, each with a tip to get moving again
  • A 6-week review you can share with a coach

Plans

12 plans, from 2 to 6 days a week

Ready to start the moment you open the app. Each one says who it's for and why it's built that way.

Go time

Your coach calls the next set

Five seconds before your rest ends, your coach comes in and counts you down. Then Liftling's own chime, even with the screen locked.

CHALK

Your turn.

Chalks up, gets loud, and won't let you skip a set.

BISCUIT

Oi. You using this?

The gym cat. Ignores you through the countdown, then turns and stares.

Rest ends in 3Just the countdown, nothing else.

A QUIET PILL

Or your own.

Prefer calm? Pick the pill. Or save your own GIF or photo as your coach.

Make it yours

Eight colour themes

Each one in dark and light, or let it follow your phone.

Questions

Do I need an account?

No. Open Liftling and start. There's nothing to sign up for.

Where are my workouts kept?

On your phone. There's no Liftling server. Nothing leaves your phone unless you back it up, export it or send it to Health Connect.

Can I bring my history from another app?

Yes. Export from Hevy, Strong or FitNotes, then pick the file in Settings › Import. Your past workouts can become routines too.

How do I move to a new phone?

Back up to one file, by hand or after every workout, and restore it on the new phone. Pro comes back through Google Play on the same Google account.

Do testers keep Pro?

Yes. Everyone in the closed test has Pro free. When Pro goes on sale, each tester gets a Google Play code to keep it, on the same Google account.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet. Liftling is Android first.

Is this medical advice?

No. Liftling is a training log. Check with a doctor before starting a new exercise programme, and stop if something hurts.
