Workout app for beginners · iPhone
Kettlebud builds your personal workout plan for home or the gym, walks you through every set, and teaches you how to train, one short lesson at a time. No guesswork. No gym jargon. Just a friendly coach in your pocket.
Most fitness apps assume you already know what a Romanian deadlift is, how heavy to go and how long to rest. Kettlebud doesn't. It starts where you are, explains the why in plain words, and grows with you as you get stronger.
How it works
Your coach asks a few simple questions: your goal, your days, home or gym, and what equipment you have. It takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Then you give your coach a name.
Kettlebud builds a workout plan for your exact days, place and session length. Every plan is checked against your equipment and safety answers before you see it.
Follow each workout set by set. Learn the basics in short lessons. Your plan moves up as you get stronger: more reps first, then more weight.
Features
Personal workout plan
Pick your training days and how long you have, from 15 to 75 minutes. Train at home, at the gym, or both. At home, Kettlebud plans only with what you pick: your body weight, dumbbells, a kettlebell, bands, a bench or a pull-up bar.
Guided workouts
Every workout starts with a warm-up and tells you the sets, reps and weight. A rest timer counts you down between sets. Not sure about a move? Open the form tips and see what good form looks like.
Learn how to work out
Your Journey is a fitness course in six stages. Each lesson takes up to 4 minutes and ends with a reward.
