# Arc Fitness

> An iOS workout app for beginners. A personal trainer in your pocket.

Arc Fitness is an iOS app for people getting started in the gym. Arc builds a plan from your goals, equipment, and time. At the gym, it shows you the next exercise. Arc tells you when to add weight. You set the schedule: train when you can, and Arc picks up where you left off.

## key facts

- Two tiers: Coach ($9.99/mo) is the plan arc builds, a video that shows you how to do each exercise, and you can ask questions to your coach. Coach Pro ($14.99/mo) updates the plan as you get stronger.
- iOS only.
- Built for beginners, though experienced lifters use it too.
- Arc picks the split that fits you: push/pull/legs, upper/lower, full body, or a body-part split. It can also auto-pick the one that suits your goal and schedule. Exercises are selected for your experience level, equipment, goal, and sex.
- Arc tracks your lifts and tells you when you're ready to add weight. You apply the suggestions yourself.
- You set your own schedule. The app holds your place and picks up where you left off.
- Bodyweight-only plans for people training at home.
- Arc asks for an email sign-up so your workouts stay saved across devices.
