Turn your workouts into shareable art — and find your gym.

Find and join a gym, and set your primary gym location — right from Settings.

June 1–2
A warmer welcome and smarter training insights.
✨New

- Auto-Start Timer.Mobile

Your workouts get bucketed into Chest, Shoulders, Arms, Legs, Core, and Back so you can see your training balance at a glance.

A “Published” toggle (with timestamp) and a “Program Tags” selector, so you decide what goes public. Tag badges (like “Inspired”) now appear on program cards.
🐛Fixed
- Shared program previews.Web
Shared program links always get a preview image now — if a program has no background, we fall back to the creator’s banner for the social preview.
May 29–30
The post-workout screen became the best part of your session.
✨New
- Collectible completion themes.Mobile
Finish a workout and your total volume gets framed as a fun real-world comparison — Moon Missions 🚀, Pyramids, Croissants 🥐, Triceratops 🦕 and more — each with its own font, colors, and badge. Gotta collect ’em all.
- A “Journal” logbook vibe.Mobile
The summary now feels like a hand-written training journal — paper texture, doodles, sparkles, and a satisfying “Saved to logbook.”

- Dedicated Feedback pageWeb
On the web app — a proper “Share Your Feedback” screen (with an anonymous option).
⚡Improved
- Faster, calmer startup.Mobile
The splash screen now stays up until the app is genuinely ready, in your theme’s colors — goodbye black-to-white flash on iOS. Non-essential bits load when your phone is idle instead of slowing the cold start.
- A friendlier “uh-oh” screen.Mobile
If the app ever fails to launch, you now get a clear “Something went wrong” screen with Try Again, Clear Cache & Restart, and an expandable details view — instead of a blank wall. A watchdog also rescues you if startup ever hangs.
- Better workout imports.Mobile
Smarter detection and formatting for logs brought over from Strong, Fitbod, Hevy, and StrengthLog.
- Smarter muscle filtering.Mobile
Filtering exercises by a muscle group now includes its sub-groups, so you see everything related — not just an exact match.

A run of build-system and release-stability fixes (Xcode, EAS, Expo) — invisible to you, but they keep updates flowing smoothly.
May 19–22
The app learned a second language and got a whole lot smarter about logging your sets.
✨New
- Spanish is here.Mobile
Full in-app localization (English 🇺🇸 / Spanish 🇲🇽) with a language switcher in Settings that sticks across launches. We translated ~1,360 strings — workouts, calculators, onboarding, auth, profile, the works.

Snap the pump, the PR board, the post-gym smoothie — attach up to 10 pics to any completed workout.
- Auto-fill from last time.Mobile
Open an exercise and your previous numbers pre-fill as placeholders, so you’re never staring at empty boxes.
- Helpful little tips.Mobile
Friendly tooltip bubbles point you to features you might’ve missed — dismiss one and it stays gone.
⚡Improved
- Sets complete themselves.Mobile
Fill in a set and move on — we auto-mark it done, just like the web app.
- Long workouts stay tidy.Mobile
Big sessions open with cards collapsed (but your first exercise stays open), and the next exercise expands automatically when you finish the current one.

Toggle rest timers on or off per workout.
- Simpler reordering.Mobile
Swapped finicky drag-and-drop for clean up/down move buttons in the workout editor.

🛠️Behind the scenes
