Strength training app for iPhone and Apple Watch

Every set has a target.

Tarvo works out what you lift today from your last session and raises it week by week. You just check it off.

Tarvo on Apple Watch Ultra: bench press, set 2 of 3, 82.5 kg × 8

The target is already set.

You open Tarvo at the gym, and every exercise shows what you lift today. Weight and reps, set by set. One check, and the set is done.

A little more every week.

First the reps go up, then the weight. If it gets too heavy, Tarvo steps back. Every target comes with a reason you can read.

How Tarvo progresses

Try it.

Enter what you did and how many more you could have done. Tarvo works out your next target with the same rule as the app.

Bench PressBarbell · 6–10 reps

Target 82.5 kg × 8 · two more were possible, one more rep

182.5 × 782.5
282.5 × 782.5

How many more could you have done?

82.5 kg × 9

All on target, with two left. So the same weight, one more rep.

One check per set, on your wrist too.

Your iPhone stays in the locker. The watch shows the target and times your rest, and so does the Lock Screen.

One question after your last set.

How many more could you have done? Your answer decides whether the weight goes up next time or the reps first.

You can see it working.

Tarvo spots a personal best the moment you check off the set.
