New: photograph any workout and Liftspan turns it into a program it coaches around your joints. Your first import is free.
A strength coach for a body that's past its peak.
Every strength app is built for a 25-year-old. Liftspan is built for the rest of us: the 40, 50, and 60-year-olds who still want to get stronger and want to keep training for the long haul. It's the coach that knows you're not 25, tells you exactly what to do every session, and adapts around the joints you tell it about.
You never guess again.
Liftspan builds and adjusts your program for you. Reps climb inside your range, then the weight goes up. It tells you what to lift and moves the load when you've earned it. No spreadsheets, no wondering if you're doing enough.
Or build your own.
Pick your own days and moves, or start from the plan it built and change what you like. Liftspan still sets the weights, plans your deloads, and flags anything that loads a joint you told it about.
Chosen around your body.
Every movement in the library carries a joint and lower-back rating. Tell it your shoulder or your back is a problem and those lifts stop being offered, replaced with a named alternative that trains the same muscle. Load jumps get halved. Blocks deload sooner. And the joint filtering is free. (It's not medical advice; see below.)
Tell it how you feel.
Type "shoulder's cranky and I slept badly" and today's session reshapes: overhead work swaps out, a set comes off, the load eases. Just for today.
Train wherever you are.
Full gym, home gym, hotel, bodyweight, dumbbells only, bands only. 267 movements, including machines, cables, landmine work and carries. Switch mid-week and every weight you've worked up to carries across.
A streak for showing up, not just lifting.
Log a walk, a bike ride, yoga, or "something else" and your flame stays lit; lifting days count on their own. Bank a full training week and you earn a freeze that covers a missed day. Add the Liftspan widget and your streak sits on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.
Keep it with a friend.
Invite a streak partner and keep a shared streak together. They see whether you logged today, your flame, and the streak you've built as a pair. Never your weights or your history. When they haven't logged yet, nudge them.
Proof you're actually getting stronger.
Estimated 1RM on every lift, every all-time best recorded the moment you hit it, and your weekly hard sets measured against what the science says.
Bring your history.
Already on Strong or Hevy? Import your CSV and your sessions and working weights come across, never above what you've actually lifted. It exports right back out too.
Free to start.
Free forever: log every workout, a starting plan that works around the joints you tell it about, the daily streak and one streak partner, the streak widget, badges and levels, your training synced to every device, and full export. No ads, no session limits, nothing ever deleted. Pro is the coach in full: the daily check-in, intelligent progression that keeps moving the weight as you earn it, building your own program, unlimited swaps and the whole library, every training environment, double freezes and unlimited partners, Apple Health sync, the rest timer in your Dynamic Island and on your Apple Watch, and the progress screen that proves you're getting stronger. Try Pro free for 7 days.
Lifting, for the long haul.
