Why Plates?
Most workout apps are either too simple (just a notepad) or too complex (overwhelming interfaces with features you'll never use). Plates hits the sweet spot — it's powerful enough to generate complete AI training programs and track progressive overload, but clean enough to get out of your way during a workout.
Log sets from your Apple Watch, glance at your progress with Home Screen widgets and Live Activities, complete daily challenges for bonus XP, and track body measurements alongside your lifts. The built-in barbell plate calculator saves you time every session — no standalone calculator app needed.
Plates Pro ($4.99/month or $19.99/year) unlocks unlimited AI plan generation, AI progressive overload analysis, AI weekly coaching summaries, streak shields, and a 1.5x XP multiplier. Core features like the plate calculator, Apple Watch app, workout logging, progressive overload tracking, daily challenges, widgets, iCloud sync, and XP gamification are free for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Plates generate a workout plan with AI?
Tell the AI your training goals (strength, hypertrophy, general fitness), what equipment you have access to, how many days per week you can train, and your experience level. Plates uses Firebase Vertex AI to generate a complete multi-day program with exercises, sets, reps, and rest periods tailored specifically to you. Your first AI plan is free — additional AI generations require Plates Pro. You can always create and customize plans manually for free.
How does the barbell plate calculator work?
Enter your target weight and the plate calculator instantly shows which plates to load on each side of the bar. It supports both kg and lbs, Olympic and standard plates, and you can customize the bar weight and your available plate inventory. The display is color-coded and updates in real-time as you change the weight.
What is progressive overload and how does Plates track it?
Progressive overload means gradually increasing the weight, reps, or volume over time to keep building strength. Plates automatically tracks your performance each session, calculates estimated 1RM, and flags exercises where you've hit your targets. The AI then suggests exactly how much weight to add next time.

Yes. The Plates Apple Watch companion app lets you log sets, start rest timers, and track your workout session directly from your wrist — no need to pull out your phone between sets.
Does Plates sync across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch?
