What others are saying

Great

Signed up a long time ago and it’s a great, simple app for those who know what they want. I set my own programs but the existing ones were great as well.

Fantastic app

I never leave reviews for apps, but I had to leave one for the Hardy app. The level of customization is great. My favorite part of the app is once you get your workout routine plugged into the app, you don’t ever have to think about raising weight / deloading / progressive overload / etc. the app takes care of everything for you. I just go to the gym, open the app, and move weights. Everything else is taken care of for me.

Fantastic Workout App

This app has been a game changer for me. There are so many options and the ability to browse workout splits has been eye opening to see what’s out there. The deva have been very open to feedback and are constantly improving the app experience. Small things like the recent addition of the workout timer notification is something I’ve really appreciated and I plan on supporting and using this app well into the future! The dev roadmap on the site gives me a lot to look forward to!

Across all the fitness and workout apps out there, this one hits all the right spot. Clean UI, no bloat, no ads. Also worth mentioning is that this app is crowdsourced. Only problem I can think of is the notifications can be hit or miss for me, other than that its a 10/10

So much value!

Love the app and its UI, feels very modern. It’s designed very well. I just wish it kept track of the weight you lift in all exercises such as accessories! It’s a bit of a hassle having to go back to previous workouts in the calendar just to see what weight I was at so far.

10/10

Going to be honest this is way better than the apps on the market right now like strong or jefit. The developers knew exactly what they were doing. It has all the functions the others lacked. Only thing missing is gifs/form videos/exercise videos but really not necessary tbh. A+

Tracks workouts, reps, weight. Navigates easily. Rest time stays running in the background when you're playing on your phone between sets - it's the little things. Clearly made with lots of thought and testing. Absolutely on board.

So far this app is of great use when tracking your training sessions. The app developers are also very responsive to any questions or feedback I have. Thank you

First off I just want to say that this app is already the best workout tracking app I have ever used.

affinepplan on Reddit

Hardy is an outstanding workout tracker in it's current state, and as the devs add more features it will only improve. I appreciate that the devs are engaging with the community on reddit.

First of all I would like to commend the developers for the fact that I had a workout running for 10 hours and it was easily able to continue the workout, unlike gymshark fitness app

StillSleepyAS on Reddit

This app is almost perfect

Would be nice to be able to rate and review user made workouts

I really do like the Hardy app, there's nothing quite like it. I love the UI and the minimal look and feel, I like that it doesn't have all the BS features like a social media center or image / video guides on how to exercise or which muscle groups are being used on the exercises.

This app is exactly what I was looking for and makes tracking weights and progress way easier than a spreadsheet. I love that there is the option to choose a percentage of the RPM for weights. The only thing I'd like to see is to be able to choose which RPMs to update after a workout as it seems that currently it's either update all or none. Either way, highly recommend this app!

Goodbye Excel and PDF,
hello smarter workout plans

Hardy takes the complexities of modern strength training routines and makes them easy to use.

Tracker and planner, together

Modern strength training plans can involve boring calculations for weights and progressions.
We automate this.

Planned workout routines can include exercises where the weights you have to lift are calculated as a percentage from your maximum lifts.

And they can include progression rules for increasing or decreasing the weight and the amount of reps you have to lift next session based on certain criteria.

Previously this required doing manual calculations and editing formulas in Excel sheets. Now you can let the Hardy app handle it for you.

Personalized set weights

Always know what weight you should lift next, based on your performance and routine rules. Just hit start.

For planned exercises, enter your 1 Rep Max numbers and the app will suggest you the weights to lift on your next exercises, based on how the routine was set up by the author.

If you do not know your 1 Rep Max numbers, no worries, we can guide you through that.

Workout exercise set weights can be created using:

Percentage of your 1 Rep Max
Percentage of your Training Max
Percentage of your RPE
Your current Working Weight

Progressions, Overloads and Deloads

As you progress in strength training, the exercise weights can increase with you.

Routines can include progression rules for increasing or decreasing the weight and the amount of reps you have to lift next session. If you lift as much as the routine requires to increase the weights or reps, the app will ask you to confirm the changes after a successful workout session. Likewise for decreasing weights.

Progression rules can be currently be created based on:

Linear Progressions
Double Progressions
Progressive Overload based on AMRAP sets
Overload and deload based on session success
RPE-based Autoregulations

Tracking and logging workouts

Tracking workouts is not just for passively logging history. Routines actively calculate your next set weights and progressions.

Most gym apps are for passively logging lifting history and viewing statistics. Hardy app understands your chosen workout plan and actively calculates its next exercise set weights and progressions, based on your tracked performance and routine rules. It's more like a tool for doing planned strength training. And there's also statistics.

Shareable workout plans

Share routines that anybody can start using with their own personal exercise set weights.
Just send a link.

Create and share routines that anybody can open with a link in app or web. They will see their own personal exercise set weights based on their 1 Rep Max values.

If you are a private trainer this is a good way to send workout plans to your clients or to build up a personal brand by creating popular public routines.

FAQ

If you have any more questions please contact us on @HardyApp or post on /r/HardyApp.

How does it differ from other gym apps?
Most weight training apps are for passive tracking/logging - you lift a weight, write it down in the app, and see analytics of how much you've lifted over time. Hardy allows to create or use routines that actively suggest the weight you should be lifting, based on the routine's progression rules. If you lift as much as the routine requires, the suggested weight gets increased. If you lift less, and the routine suggest lowering the weight in such a case, the app will propose lowering the weight you lift next time. And of course, there's also analytics.
Can I create my own custom training routines / programs?
Yes. You can build your own routines, workouts and exercises, and add rules that raise or lower the weight for you. Set weights can follow your last lift, a Working Weight, a percentage of your 1RM or Training Max, or an RPE.
Can I make a copy of some routine and edit that?
Yes, you can make a copy of a routine and edit it in any way you wish.
I don't know some of the terms on this page, can I still use the app?
We try to include a tooltip for less known terms and there is also a FAQ section inside the app that explains everything. If anything feels confusing you can always ask us on our subreddit or Instagram.
What progression rules does Hardy support?
An Overload Rule raises weight after successful sessions, and a Deload Rule lowers it after failed ones. An AMRAP Overload Rule raises it from extra reps, and a Double Progression Rule climbs reps before weight. They move your Training Max, 1RM or Working Weight, and you review every change first.
What is Training Max? How is it different from 1 Rep Max?
1 Rep Max (1RM) is the amount you can lift on maximum effort. TM (Training Max) reflects the current planned effort of your workouts. For example on a deload week your Training Max might be 70% of your 1RM.
What is RPE and RIR?
RPE means Rate of Perceived Exertion, and RIR means Reps in Reserve. Both are a way to measure the intensity of your training subjectively. Hardy app supports using RPE both in routine sets (meaning you can create a routine by setting the intensity of your sets using only RPE), as well as tracking RPE (meaning you can log your RPE/RIR on lifts in any routine).
How much does it cost?
Hardy is free to use. Certain features may be under a subscription. Anybody who joined before we added the premium plans received a lifetime free membership and an OG status.
