How it works

three workouts a week.
that's it.

the 5×5 program is the most tested strength routine on earth. we kept the program, dropped the friction.

01

show up

three days a week, two workouts that alternate. squat every session. bench & row, or press & deadlift. open the app, hit start.

02

lift the bar

we tell you exactly what plates to load, walk you through the warm-up sets, and time your rest. you focus on the lift.

03

go up +5 lb

hit all 5 sets of 5? next workout adds 5 pounds (10 on deadlift). miss reps three times? we deload 10% automatically. no math, no decisions.

Features

everything you need.
nothing you don't.

built by lifters who were tired of "smart" workout apps that needed you to be smart enough to ignore most of them.

auto-progression

+5 lb every workout, +10 on deadlift. miss reps 3x in a row, we deload 10%. you never decide what weight to use.

plate calculator

every working set shows you exactly which plates to load per side. warm-up sets included.

smart rest timer

vibration alerts when rest is up. auto-pauses if a call comes in. tap to skip when you're ready.

progress charts

see 5RM for every lift over time. weekly volume. bodyweight trends. all in one place, no ads.

PR celebrations

hit a personal record? we mark it, save it, and give you a shareable card you can post anywhere.

your data, exportable

every workout. every set. every rep. download it as CSV any time. cancel and you keep your history.

no ads. no upsells.

one price, all features. no "pro tier", no "AI coach add-on", no banner ads in the middle of a set.

workout reminders

set your training days, get a nudge that respects your schedule. snooze, skip, or reschedule with one tap.

offline-first

no signal at the gym? doesn't matter. everything works locally and syncs when you're back.

Pricing

one price.
everything included.

we'd rather charge once than nickel-and-dime you. join the beta and lock in 6 months free at launch.

FAQ

questions, answered.

what is 5×5? +
five sets of five reps, on five compound lifts — squat, bench press, barbell row, overhead press, and deadlift. it's the most-tested beginner-to-intermediate strength program in lifting. you train three days a week, alternating two workouts. the goal is simple: add 5 pounds every workout until you can't, then deload and push through. that's it.
i'm a complete beginner. is this for me? +
yes — 5×5 is one of the few programs actually designed for novices. you'll start with an empty bar (or the lightest you can safely move with form), and the linear progression does the rest. our onboarding asks a few questions and gives you a sane starting weight for every lift.
do i need a full barbell setup? +
yes. 5×5 is a barbell program — you need a squat rack (or stands), a bench, and plates. that's the trade-off: simpler than any "AI personal trainer" app, but it does require real equipment. most commercial gyms have everything you need.
how is this different from StrongLifts, Boostcamp, or Hevy? +
those are great apps. we built FIVE×FIVE because we wanted: dead-simple progression with no "templates" to pick, plate-perfect warm-ups for every working weight, one price that includes everything, no AI features begging to be turned off, and our data stays on our phone first. if that's what you want too — welcome.
what's the beta — and what do i get? +
we're rolling out the app to a small group of testers before public launch so we can fix things based on real use. beta is free the whole time — no card needed. at launch, beta testers get 6 months free on us as a thank-you, and you'll be the first to see new features as they ship.
when does the app launch? +
we're targeting public launch on iOS and Android in late 2026. the beta is open now and runs until then. exact dates depend on app store review and how the beta goes.
do you sell my data? +
no. we don't run ads, sell data, or share anything with third parties for marketing. we use a privacy-respecting analytics provider to count signups and crashes. you can export everything and delete your account at any time. see the privacy policy for the full breakdown.
can i use it on iPhone? +
at launch — yes, both iOS and Android. during beta, android testers can install directly; iOS testers get a TestFlight invite once we open that track.
