Balorath

Supersets, drop sets, rep ladders and timed holds are here. Plan them into any workout, and let your program keep working out the weights and warmups.

Balorath is a barbell training app where the program does the thinking. Choose a proven strength program or build your own, and every workout arrives with its sets, weights and warmups already worked out. Log your sets, and the program moves your weights up as you get stronger.

PROGRAMS THAT RUN THEMSELVES • Starting Strength, nSuns 5/3/1 and GZCLP included, each with per-lift progression • AMRAP sets feed back into your training max, so a custom program can recalculate between cycles from what you actually lifted • Program builder: set schemes, progression rules, cycles, warmup policies and rounding — your program, written once and applied every session

BUILD YOUR OWN WORKOUTS • Supersets of two or more exercises, worked round by round • Drop sets, planned on the last set and logged drop by drop • Warm-up, failure and drop set types • Rep ladders: a different rep target for each set, like 12, 10, 8, 6 • Timed holds for planks and other isometric exercises, with a stopwatch, optional added weight and a longest-hold record

IN THE GYM • Plate calculator that uses your gym's own bars and plates, in kg or lbs • Warmup sets generated for you, with your rounding preferences • Rest timer that alerts you when it's time for your next set • Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with your current exercise, set and workout time • Undo a completed set or a weight or reps change

TRACK EVERYTHING • Full workout history and per-exercise records • 1RM and training-max formulas built in • Finished workouts saved to Apple Health

YOURS • No account, no sign-up • Your log is stored on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud account — you can turn sync off • Export and import your entire log as a JSON file anytime
