Feature

Plate Calculator

Enter a target weight, see exactly which plates to load on each side. Configurable per gym with your actual plate inventory, bar weight, and collar options. Never do mental math between sets again.

How it works

Right where you need it, mid-set

The calculator isn't buried in settings. Tap the weight field on any exercise during a workout and it opens pre-filled with your target weight and that exercise's equipment type, so you get the loading answer without leaving your set. It's also always available on its own under Gyms.

Barbells and plate-loaded machines

Pick from named bar presets, including Olympic (45 lb / 20 kg), Women's Olympic (33 lb / 15 kg), EZ curl, hex/trap, Smith machine, and safety squat bars, or enter any custom weight. For plate-loaded machines, switch to machine mode to see the pegs loaded correctly, including a single-side option for unilateral machines.

Configurable per gym

Different gyms have different equipment. Plates lets you configure plate inventory for each gym profile:

Default plate sets

Pounds: 45, 35, 25, 10, 5, 2.5 lb plates

Kilograms: 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25 kg plates

Add or remove plate sizes to match your gym. Some gyms have 100 lb plates, some skip the 35s, some have micro plates (1.25 lb). Configure it once and the calculator always gives you loadable answers.

Integrated with training suggestions

When the adaptive engine suggests a weight increase, it uses your gym's plate configuration to ensure the suggestion is achievable. You'll never see "add 137.5 lbs" on a standard gym. The plate calculator and suggestion engine share the same configuration.

Multiple gym profiles

Home gym with a full rack? Commercial gym with limited equipment? Travel gym with just dumbbells? Create a profile for each. The active gym's plate configuration is used for all calculations and suggestions during your workout.
