If you train with your partner
Yes, but most of the ones that come up aren’t what a couple with a home gym is after. They are partner-exercise apps — do this move together, hold hands through the plank. What most couples actually want is simpler: two people, two separate logs, one subscription, and some way of knowing whether the other one trained this week.
The popular workout loggers are licensed per person. Hevy’s own help centre says its subscription isn’t part of Family Sharing and can’t be shared with a family group; Strong’s store listing says the same. So a couple training in the same garage, on the same bar, buys the same app twice.
The one big name that sells a two-person plan, Fitbod Duo, charges roughly double its single price for it — so it is two subscriptions on one invoice.
Separate histories. Your squat and your partner’s squat are different numbers. If the app blends them, or makes you log out to switch, it will end up with one person’s sets in the other person’s chart.
Your own programme each. Training at the same time doesn’t mean training the same session. Each person should get workouts at their own weights and their own pace.
One bill for the house. If you share the gear, the space and the bank account, paying per head for a logbook makes no sense.
Something shared. The reason to train as a couple is that someone notices when you don’t. A shared week or target does that without turning it into a social feed.
One subscription covers a house of two — your partner, a mate or one of the kids. Each of you has your own profile with your own log, personal bests, strength trend, weekly volume and bodyweight. Tap your initials to switch. Nobody’s numbers get mixed up.
The home screen shows the house week: how many sessions each of you has done against a shared target. That’s it. No strangers, no likes, no feed.
It is built for training at home. Tick the gear you own — rack, bar and plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, bands — and workouts are built from that, with plate maths that never prescribes a weight you can’t load. Every set is saved to the cloud, and it works offline in the shed.
It’s Android only for now — no iPhone version yet. It is a logger and programme builder, not a video coaching app: exercises are described, not filmed. And it is two people per house, not five.
The first month is free. After that it is a small monthly or yearly price, shown in your own currency on Google Play before you pay — one price for both of you. Cancel any time in Google Play, and everything you logged stays on your phone.
