Coming soon. We're building something big.
WODs for the whole week, records and timers — plus a daily recovery score, sleep and strain from your Apple Watch. No notebooks, spreadsheets or notes.
You do daily WODs but don’t skip strength work? Maxes or WOD results? — your diary is always in your pocket.
You mix running and strength for the hybrid race format — the app always helps you keep your finger on the pulse.
You build strength, or maybe it’s about how you look — tracking loads and your private records? Barbell is for you.
Barbell reads your data from Apple Health and writes your measurements, water and watch workouts back.
Barbell pulls data from your devices into one profile: how hard you pushed, how you sleep, how you recover and how you eat.
Calories, steps, distance and training time — daily and weekly.
Sleep score, sleep debt and regularity, sleep stages and a report on last night.
A daily Recovery score from 0 to 100 based on HRV, resting heart rate and sleep — plus breathing rate, SpO₂ and VO₂max.
Estimated from VO₂max, resting heart rate and body composition — with a “How we calculate it” explainer.
Sleep, water, steps, exercise, protein (1.6 g/kg) and daylight — with goals you set yourself.
Eaten minus burned, a 7-day balance and macros.
Macros, vitamins and minerals from any diet app that writes to Apple Health — like MyFitnessPal, Fitatu or Cronometer.
Blood glucose, body and wrist temperature, and environmental noise.
Weight, height and 7 circumferences in groups. Weight, height and waist are written to Apple Health too.
View every metric over 7D / 30D / 6M / 1Y, compare it with your own norm and read what it means.
Barbell is not a medical device. All metrics are for information only.
Every morning Barbell scores your recovery from HRV, resting heart rate and sleep — against your own 30-day norm — and tells you how hard to go today. No extra band needed: an Apple Watch or any device that writes to Apple Health is enough.
Warm-up, strength, metcon — every block has its own description, RX and time cap. Every day also has a beginner version, so you never have to worry it’s “not for you”.
Barbell collects workouts from Apple Health: from the app, from your watch and from other apps like Garmin or Strava. Break each one down in detail.
Use a ready-made format or build your own timer from any work and rest blocks. Save it as a preset and launch it in one tap — no setup from scratch.
When you save a result the app detects a new record and charts your progress over time. Hero WODs get their own history.
Every timer runs on Apple Watch. Workouts are saved to Apple Health with heart rate and calories, and you see your live heart rate on your phone too.
Dashboard, timers and WODs in a layout built for iPad. Sign in with the same account and your results and PRs are right there, just like on your iPhone.
Results saved without signal sync on their own once you’re back online, and the weekly plan is always on your phone. Even in a basement box.
On iPad, a tab bar at the top and room for other apps alongside. One account, the same results on both devices.
Count days in a row and collect milestones — from 3 to 365 days.
Every strength exercise shows ready weights from 95% down to 10% of your max, or any custom percentage.
Classics — Murph, Fran, Cindy — with descriptions, RX targets and your full history.
A new week of WODs, a morning sleep and recovery report, an evening wind-down nudge, a summary after every workout, streak milestones and water — with an “Add water” action right from the lock screen.
An interactive Water widget with a “+” button, a Readiness widget (Pro) and “Add water” straight from the app icon.
Light, dark or automatic theme plus 4 gradients, kg/lb and cm/in, and English exercise names even with the Polish interface.
Suggest ideas and vote on new features right in the app.
No inflated metrics — just what’s really here.
No fine print — exactly what you get on each plan.
All notifications work on both plans.
Download free on the App Store (Android coming soon), then create an account or sign in with email, Apple ID or Google.
Cross-functional, hybrid, or pure strength today.
Open today’s WOD, start the timer, save your result. The rest is automatic.
I’ve been training cross-functional and strength for a while, but I tracked progress either partially or not at all. I could’ve used other apps, but I was missing an all-in-one — and that’s how the idea for Barbell was born. Timers, maxes, hero WOD times, plus monitoring of health metrics and things like sleep. Now I just open the app I spent two years building after hours :)
Part of the app is free; the rest is in the Barbell Pro subscription (monthly or yearly). See the full comparison in the Free vs Pro table.
iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, and Apple Watch with watchOS 11.6 or later. An Android version is on the way.
No. WODs, timers and records work without a watch. Recovery and sleep need data in Apple Health — from an Apple Watch or another device.
Yes, as long as your device writes its data to Apple Health — that’s where Barbell reads it from.
No. Apple Health data is processed on your phone. Only your account and workout results reach our server. Details in the privacy policy.
Yes. The weekly plan is stored on your phone, and results saved without signal sync on their own once you’re back online.
Yes. Every day has a separate beginner version, and on the leaderboard you compare yourself with people at the same level.
Absolutely not! The app ships with ready-made training programs — you can train solo or with a coach. That said, it’s always worth getting advice from a professional — movement is health, but it’s best to perform every exercise with perfect form.
Apart from the WOD results you choose to publish, all your data in the app is completely private.
The app is currently fully translated into Polish and English. We’re working on adding support for more languages.
Manage your subscription in the App Store: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. You can delete your account on the account deletion page.
Download Barbell and see your first WOD today.
