Know what to lift next
Rally is a strength training app. It writes your week, logs your sets, and works out your next weight from what you actually lifted — so you get stronger on purpose instead of by accident.

Hard sessions are not the same as progress
You can train for a year and lift the same weight for most of it. Not for want of effort — because nothing is keeping score, so nothing ever has to change. Rally reads what you actually did and has the next number in the field before you get there.
82.5 IS UP FROM 80 · YOU FINISHED EVERY SET WITH TWO IN RESERVE
The weight moves without you deciding
Finish every rep and it goes up. Fall short three sessions running and it drops ten percent and builds back. You never have to work it out, and you never have to remember what you did last time.
Up to 82.5kg. You hit 8 on every set at 80kg with 2 in reserve.
Stay at 17.5kg and aim for 12 on all 3 sets. Last time you got 9 on your best set.
Down to 90kg. Three sessions at 100kg without finishing the reps.
See what you actually worked
Shaded from the sets you logged, not the session you meant to do. A programme that quietly stopped training your back shows up here in a week, instead of four months later when you are wondering why your pull-ups have not moved.
Six questions to a week
How many days you can train. What you have to train with. What you want out of it. Answer six and Rally writes the week — no spreadsheet, no fortnight of reading about programming, no paying somebody for a PDF. Or take one of sixteen programmes and change what you like.
How many days can you train?
Press one. The programmes beside it are the real answer.
Always something you can do
Name the gym you actually train at and Rally only offers movements you can do there. The rack is taken and the session is not ruined: it finds the closest thing that trains the same pattern and carries on. Gyms are added by the people who train in them, so a room with one pair of dumbbells is a perfectly good answer.
Find your gym, down to the exact branch — and Rally works from what is in that one.
504 exercises, almost every one with an animation of the movement, filtered to what your gym has.
Cues written underneath, so you are not guessing at how the movement should feel.
Share the week not the numbers
Training alone is where good weeks quietly stop. Nobody notices the Tuesday you skipped, so there is nothing to stop it becoming the Thursday, and then the month.
Start a rally and up to four other people run the same programme as you, for the same weeks. You each train on your own days, at your own gym, at your own weights — Rally works your numbers out from your lifts and theirs from theirs. What you share is the week and whether you turned up for it.
Which turns out to be the part that works. Not a leaderboard, not a streak you can break, not somebody's bench press in your face on a Sunday night. Three people who will notice, and a plan you all agreed to.

A filled dot means they trained. That is the whole of what anyone sees — never a weight, a rep, an effort or a place.
Things Rally will not do
No ads
And nothing about you is sold to anyone, ever.
No feed
No followers, no leaderboard, no strangers.
No streaks
A week you missed is a week you missed. It is not a failure state.
No chatbot
The reasoning is written into the screen where the decision happens.
One price everything in it
A year of Rally costs less than one session with a coach. There is no free tier and no upgrade above this one — everything Rally does, it does for everyone who pays for it.

Questions people ask
What does it actually do?
It builds you a training week from six questions, then tells you what to lift in each session. You log your sets as you go. Before the next session it works out the weight and the reps, and writes down why it changed.How is this different from Hevy or Strong?
Those are excellent at recording what you did. Rally reads what you did and decides what you do next. If you already know how to programme for yourself, you may not need this. If you have ever stared at a bar wondering whether to add 2.5kg, that is the gap it fills.What does it cost?
$2.99 a month, or $29.99 a year. The first 7 days are free. One subscription, everything in it, no ads and no second tier.Do I need a proper gym?
No. Name the gym you train at, down to the branch, and Rally works from what is in that one. A single pair of dumbbells, or nothing at all, is a valid answer. There are 71 kinds of equipment modelled and 4,422 substitutions between exercises, so when the rack is taken there is almost always another way to train the same pattern.How does it choose the weight?
Double progression. You stay at a weight and add reps until you finish the top of the range on every set, then the weight goes up. Three sessions short of the range and it drops ten percent and builds back. It shows you the sentence behind every one of those decisions.Can I overrule it?
All of it. Change the weight, change the reps, swap the exercise, skip the session, or log something it never suggested. Nothing is locked, and what you do is what it reads next time.What is a rally?
Two to five people running the same week. You each get your own sessions and your own weights. They see that you trained. They do not see what you lifted, or where.Does it work without signal?
Logging does. You can run a whole session in a basement and it saves on the phone.iPhone or Android?
Both. Rally is built once and ships to the App Store and Google Play together, so a rally can have people on either.
