Features

Everything Anvil does. Nothing it doesn't.

We keep the feature list short on purpose. Every capability below has been asked for by named lifters or coaches and does one specific job well.

01 · Logging

Three-tap set logging, for real.

Weight → reps → RPE. That's the whole sequence. Anvil remembers the set structure from your last equivalent session and pre-fills the rest. Rest timer starts automatically. Bar loading pattern is shown on the same screen. No side-swipe to a menu, no picker wheels, no interstitial screens.

  • Median session log time: 4:20 across 34,000 active lifters
  • Offline-first — logs everything without a signal, syncs later
  • Voice input for weight and reps if your hands are chalked
  • Undo the last set for 60 seconds after logging

02 · Programs

19 templates. Every author named.

Every program in Anvil is written by a specific person — a UK powerlifting coach, a masters-competition athlete, a physiotherapist who works with lifters. Their names are on the program. You know who to argue with if the programme doesn't work for you.

  • Full session-by-session view before you commit
  • Adjustable to your training days per week
  • Autoregulated on RPE, not fixed percentages
  • Downloadable as PDF for coach review
03 · Analysis

Trend lines that make sense.

Every main lift gets a rolling 8-week e1RM chart, weighted by RPE. Volume load is broken down by movement pattern (squat, hinge, press, pull) so you can see where you're actually spending your recovery. Bar-speed integration if you use a velocity tracker like the RepOne or Vitruve.

  • e1RM per lift, computed set-by-set, plotted weekly
  • Volume load by movement pattern, not just body part
  • Readiness journal integrated into the training view
  • Weekly summary email, sent Monday morning
