Hybrid training app

One app for lifting and running.

If you lift weights and also run, you usually end up with a gym log, a running app and nothing that connects them. Ritual is a hybrid training app for iPhone: it logs every set, records every run with GPS, and puts both into one plan, one calendar and one recovery score.

Six things a lifting and running app has to get right.

What you needHow Ritual handles it

How lifting and running share one score

In most setups your gym log does not know about your run, and your running app does not know about leg day. In Ritual every exercise and every cardio session adds its own strain to the same recovery score, so a heavy squat session and an easy walk are not counted the same.

The score sits in one of eight levels, from Peak Recovery to Needs Rest, with a plain-English verdict each morning. Hydration and a one-tap sleep check-in feed it too, and recovery work such as stretching and breath work adds points back.

No watch or ring required

The recovery score is built from the training you log, your water and your sleep check-in, so it works on an iPhone alone. It is a training-based estimate, not a measurement of overnight heart-rate data. If you have an Apple Watch, you can record GPS sessions from your wrist and they count the same way.

What Ritual is not

Ritual tracks and plans your training. It does not provide a human coach, video classes or a food diary, and it is only available on iPhone and Apple Watch.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is there one app for both lifting and running?

Yes. Ritual logs strength sessions set by set and records GPS runs with pace and splits, then puts both on one calendar and into one recovery score.

What is a hybrid training app?

An app built for people who train strength and endurance together. Instead of a gym log and a separate running app, one app holds both, so your plan and your recovery reflect all of your training.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. Everything works on iPhone alone, including GPS runs and the recovery score. The Apple Watch app is optional.

Does the recovery score need a wearable?

No. It is built from your logged workouts, cardio, hydration and a sleep check-in, with no strap or ring.

Is Ritual free?

It is free to download and usable for free, with no ads and no account. Ritual Pro unlocks full history, the complete recovery system and more. See pricing.
