How it works
Set it up once, then just train
LiftBuddy builds the program around your goal, your experience and the equipment you can actually get to — then keeps it current without you having to redesign anything.
01
Tell it where you're starting
Your goal, training history, how many days a week you can train, session length, and what equipment your gym has. Takes a few minutes.
02
Get a program and a calorie target
A split with real progression built in, plus daily calorie and macro targets worked out from your body stats and activity level.
03
It adjusts as you go
Sets and loads move during the session based on how the last one felt. Weekly check-ins move your calories based on how the week actually went.
In the app
Everything the session needs
Exercise library
Animated demonstrations showing the muscles each movement works, plus grip, width and attachment variations.
Barcode scanning
Scan a label to log it, or search by name. Set your own servings, and save meals and recipes you eat often.
Rest timer and RPE
Time your rest between sets and log how hard each one felt, which is what the in-workout adjustments read from.
Personal records
PRs tracked per exercise, with weight trends and a muscle chart showing what you've actually been hitting.
Apple Health
Optionally connect Apple Health so steps, workouts and energy burned feed into your targets.
Reminders and streaks
Training and check-in reminders on your schedule, and a streak that counts the weeks you showed up.
Questions
Before you download
Is LiftBuddy really free?
Yes. LiftBuddy is free to download and use on iPhone. There's no subscription and no trial period to cancel.
Do I need a gym membership?
No. During setup you tell LiftBuddy what equipment you have access to — a full gym, a home setup, or just dumbbells — and it only programs exercises you can actually do.
Is there an Android version?
Not right now. LiftBuddy is available on iPhone through the App Store.
I'm new to lifting. Is this too advanced?
No. Setup asks about your lifting experience and programs accordingly, and every exercise has a 3D demonstration showing the movement and the muscles it works.
Does it track food as well as training?
Yes — both, in one app. That's the point of the weekly check-in: it looks at your training and your intake together before it changes anything.
Can I delete my account and data?
Yes, from inside the app, or by emailing support@liftbuddyapp.com. See our privacy policy for what we hold and how long we keep it.
