What's inside

Built on real training science

Programs follow proven block periodization: each week gets a little harder, then a deload week lets you recover before the next block.

27 ready-made programs

Two to five days a week, beginner to advanced, for a full gym, home dumbbells, kettlebells or machines. 370+ exercises to swap in.

Weights that progress for you

Every exercise suggests next week's weight and reps from what you logged and how you felt.

A logger that helps

Rest timer, warm-up sets, plate math, how-to videos, and pounds or kilograms. Sets save even with no signal.

Progress you can see

Strength charts for every lift, personal records, weekly sets and a bodyweight log.

A daily devotional

Scripture and a short teaching every day, with a streak to keep you coming back to the Word.

A private prayer journal

Write down what you're praying for and mark it answered. Only you can see it.

Friends and groups

Friend requests are accept or decline. Send "Praying for you" with one tap, and plan workouts with a group.

Meals and water

Log meals in seconds, track protein and water, and set your own daily targets.

Reminders that help

Optional devotional and workout reminders, plus a Sunday recap of your week. Christian workout music picks too.

How it works

Three steps, every week

No spreadsheets and no guesswork. The app does the math so you can focus on the work.

Choose a program

Tell it how many days you can train and pick a plan that fits your goal and equipment.

Train and log

Open today's workout, pray, lift, and tick off each set. Every set shows what to aim for.

Next week adjusts

Your numbers and feedback set next week's targets, so there is always progress to chase.

"For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it."

Hebrews 12:11 (ESV)

That verse is where the name comes from. Hardwon was built on a simple belief: your body and your faith aren't separate journeys. Every training plan is grounded in real, published exercise science, and every day brings a devotional moment, so you can grow stronger and grow in your walk with God side by side. Free, always, because this app exists to serve you, not to profit from you.

Questions

Good to know

Is it really free?

Yes. No subscription, no ads, no selling your data. Hardwon exists to serve, not to make money.

Do I need a gym?

No. There are programs for a full gym, for dumbbells and a bench at home, for kettlebells, and for machines only. Tell the app what gear you have at home or when you travel and it rounds every weight to match.

I'm new to lifting. Is this for me?

Yes. Beginner programs keep things simple, every set comes with a target, warm-ups and how-to videos are one tap away, and a lighter deload week is built into every block.

Can friends see my workouts?

Only what you choose. Friends see a short summary, like workouts this week and your devotional streak, and never your weights, notes, meals or prayer journal. Friend requests are accept or decline, adults and teens can't connect with each other, and groups are for verified members 18 and older.

Is it a real app?

It's a web app: it runs in your browser and installs to your home screen in a few seconds, so there's nothing to download from an app store, and it works on iPhone and Android.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Your training, meals and prayer journal are private to your account, encrypted in transit and at rest, and protected by access rules enforced in the database itself. No ads, no selling data, and you can delete your account and everything in it at any time from Settings. See the privacy policy.
