Anvil is a training app built for the specific problem of getting stronger after 35 — without the ego, the injuries, or the 400-page spreadsheets. Proven programs, honest metrics, no gimmicks.
Every set logged in three taps. Every plate loaded from your bar setup. Every deload triggered before you dig a hole you can't climb out of.
Weight, reps, RPE. Anvil remembers the rest of the set format from last week. Median session logged in 4:20.
Nineteen templates from named UK powerlifting and strength coaches — Sheffield, Manchester, Cardiff. Not scraped from Reddit.
Save your bar and plate stack. Anvil tells you the loading pattern for every set. No mental arithmetic between reps.
Sleep, soreness, and readiness inputs adjust the day's prescription. Miss a session, Anvil rebalances the week rather than pushing you into a hole.
Estimated 1-rep max per lift, plotted against session RPE, not against your bad days. See the trend line, ignore the wiggles.
CSV, PDF, or share a session link with your coach. You own the data. If we go bust, you leave with a decade of logs intact.
Every program in Anvil is credited to the coach who wrote it, with a plain-English description of what it's for and who it isn't. No "AI-generated 12-week hypertrophy programme". Just training built by lifters who know how the barbell moves.
Anvil's e1RM tracker weights sessions by RPE, so your grinder single at RPE 10 doesn't get counted the same as a comfortable double at RPE 7. You see the actual trajectory of your strength, not the noise of individual bad days.
Full access to every program, every metric, and every export function. If you don't love it by day seven, uninstall and you're done. No dark patterns.
