Strength training for iPhone and Apple Watch

Real strength programs. Without the homework.

Measured helps you find the right program for your goals and equipment, then gives you the exercises, the weights and the reps for every set. You do the work, rate your effort once per exercise, and Measured handles what comes next.

Free to download. Eligible new subscribers get 14 days free, then $89.99 a year or $14.99 a month.

The difference

Stop logging your workouts.

Most workout apps hand you an empty log and wait for you to type. Measured knows what it asked you to do, so it keeps the record for you. It only asks for the one thing it can't know.

The usual way

Tuesday, push

Bench press

135 × 8

135 × 8

135 × 7 (add 5 next time?)

Incline DB press

45s × 10 … or was it 50s last week

40s × 12

Every set, every weight, every rep, typed between sets. And it's still up to you to work out what next week should be.

With Measured

After the last set of Barbell Bench Press, Measured asks "How many reps did you have left?" with options from 4+ reps left to 0, the target highlighted at 2 reps left.

One question after each exercise, with the phase's target marked (often about two left). The sets, reps and weight are already recorded. If a set went differently, fix the number in a tap.

How it works

You do the lifting. Measured does the rest.

Setup asks a few questions and suggests a program that fits. After that, every workout runs the same way.

  1. 01

    Follow the plan.

    Your program knows what's next, so today's session is waiting when you open the app. Every set shows the exercise, the weight and the reps. Do it, tap Complete Set, and the rest timer starts on its own.

    Superset, Set 1 of 4: DB Bench Press, 11 reps at 32.5 lb each, then Pull-Up, 9 reps.
  2. 02

    Rate your effort.

    After the last set of each exercise, tap how many reps you had left. One tap, nothing to type.

    "How many reps did you have left?" Seven choices from 4+ reps left to 0, with the target marked, plus "Couldn't finish all reps" and "Logged 6 reps. Wrong number?"
  3. 03

    Keep progressing.

    Measured uses what you lifted and what you had left to set your next weights and reps. Each week builds on the last.

How Measured sets your weights

Gym, home or bodyweight

One program. Wherever you work out today.

Tell Measured where you are. You keep the same session and the same place in your program, and it swaps in versions of each lift that fit the equipment you have.

Gym

Bench & Row at the gym: Barbell Bench Press 4×6 at 55 lb, Single-Arm Row, Overhead Press and more.
Barbell bench press, 4 sets of 6 at 55 lb.

Home

The same Bench & Row session at home: "No barbell at home today, so this session uses dumbbell or bodyweight versions." DB Bench Press substituted for the barbell bench.
“No barbell at home today, so this session uses dumbbell or bodyweight versions.”

Bodyweight

The same session with bodyweight only: Push-Up and Backpack Row in place of the loaded lifts.
Push-ups and backpack rows stand in for the loaded lifts.

Set up your home equipment once. Switch location from Today before you start, or mid-workout if your plans change.

Your schedule, not the calendar's

A program that follows your week.

Miss a day and nothing is lost. The session you missed is next when you come back, and your progress picks up where you left it.

Weekday Warrior and The Weekender are written around set days, and a missed session waits there too.

Example weekBarbell Powerbuilding · Week 5

Squat Day didn't disappear on Tuesday. It moved to the front of the line.

Real programs

A plan with a shape.

Week after week, you build on what came before. Every program runs in phases with a purpose, the same core lifts come back each week, and the prescription changes as the phase does.

Each one has a start, a middle and an end, so every session builds on the last instead of starting over.

Barbell Bench Press Barbell Powerbuilding · once a week

Within each phase the weight climbs as you earn it, and what you earned carries into the next. Prescriptions as written; your weights are your own.

Not sure which? Setup asks about your experience, goal, days, time and equipment, and suggests one.

Built for the gym floor

Less phone. More lifting.

Everything in a workout is designed so you look at your phone for a second and get back to the bar.

Apple Watch

Start on your iPhone, then follow along on your wrist: the weight and reps for each set, live heart rate, and your rest countdown after you tap Done.

Apple Watch mid-workout: Set 2 of 4, DB Bench Press 45 lb for 10, Single-Arm Row 40 lb for 10 each, heart rate 97, and a Done button.

Rest that runs itself

Finish a set and the countdown is already running. It stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with your next set, so you don't have to unlock your phone.

Live Activity on the Lock Screen: next, set 3 of 4, DB Bench Press 30 lb × 10 and Single-Arm Row 30 lb × 10 each, with 0:49 of rest left.

Why it exists

“The plan worked. The admin did not.”

“I was shuffling between the program PDF, a timer, and a log, forgetting what weight I had used last time, losing track of all of it.” So Scott built the app he wanted to train from: one screen, buttons that worked, timers that started on their own. That is Measured.

Questions

Good questions.

Something else? Support has more, or write to hello@liftmeasured.com.

Do I need to enter my weights and reps?

No. Measured shows the exercise, the weight and the reps for every set, and records them when you tap Complete Set. After the last set of each exercise it asks how many reps you had left, which is one tap. If a set went differently, you can correct the reps or the weight before or after you log it.

How does Measured choose my weights?

During setup you choose "Start me light" or enter weights you already know. After that, each exercise works within a rep range. When you reach the top of the range with reps to spare, the weight goes up a step and the reps start again at the bottom. If it was harder than planned, Measured holds. Weights match your equipment: your own dumbbells at home, 5 lb steps on a barbell.

Can I work out at home?

Yes. Tell Measured what you have at home (dumbbells, a bench, bands, a pull-up bar, a barbell, a kettlebell) and switch to Home before a session. It keeps your program and swaps in versions of each lift that fit your equipment, labeling every swap. With no equipment it uses bodyweight or band versions. Bodyweight Strength is a full program built for no gym at all.

What if I miss a workout?

Nothing is lost. Your program is a sequence of sessions, so the one you missed is still next when you come back, and your weeks and phases move forward as you complete sessions. You can also skip a session on purpose. Weekday Warrior and The Weekender are written around set days of the week, and a missed session waits for you there too.

Is Measured good for beginners?

Yes. Fundamentals is an 8-week program for people new to lifting, with light weights, long rest and a focus on form. Every exercise has written cues, most have a short demonstration video, and you can start light and let the weights rise as you go.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. Everything works on iPhone. With an Apple Watch, you start the workout on your iPhone and follow it from your wrist: the weight and reps for each set, a Done button, your rest countdown and live heart rate. The effort rating stays on the phone.

How much does Measured cost?

Measured is free to download. A subscription is $14.99 a month or $89.99 a year, and eligible new subscribers start with a 14-day free trial. Apple handles billing, and you can cancel anytime in your App Store subscriptions. Without a subscription you get one free sample workout and the Build a workout tool.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no email and no password. Your training history lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own private iCloud. Deleting the app doesn't delete that iCloud copy: reinstall and your history comes back.

Your next workout is already planned.

Download Measured and answer a few questions. It suggests a program that fits, and your first session is ready to start.
