A gamified workout app that stays a serious tracker
Most gamified fitness apps are games wearing a tracker costume: fun for a fortnight, useless for training. IronPack is built the other way round. The tracker is the foundation; the game is the reason you keep showing up to use it.
The tracker underneath
Strip the game away and IronPack still has to beat your notes app, or none of it matters:
- Fast mid-workout logging: sets, reps, weight, RPE, supersets, per-machine setup notes.
- Rest timer with lock-screen alerts, warm-up ramps, plate maths per side.
- 140+ exercises with muscle-based search, plus custom lifts.
- Records tracked automatically at every rep count from 1 to 12, with estimated 1RM and strength standards from beginner to elite.
- Weekly muscle heatmap and trend charts, so volume is a decision, not a vibe.
- CSV import from other trackers and full CSV export. Works completely offline.
The game on top
Every system maps to real training output, never to a purchase:
- Packs: workouts and records earn forge points; 100 points rips open a 5-card pack with a proper foil-tearing ceremony.
- The collection: strongman pioneers, apex predators and achievement emblems in numbered binders with mystery slots. Foil parallels at disclosed odds keep the chase alive.
- Quests, streaks and leagues: weekly cadence rewards, a 30-day login road, and a weekly XP league with promotion and demotion.
- A trainer in your corner: attach an earned card as your session coach for lines and a small points perk.
The one rule that keeps the whole thing honest: every card is earned. Nothing in the game is for sale, so a full binder always means the training happened.
Who it suits
Lifters who like the idea of a game but refuse to give up a real log. Collectors who want their hobby to certify something. Training groups who want a shared scoreboard - see training with friends. If you want a pure minimalist logger with no personality, a plain tracker will suit you better, and we mean that sincerely.
Common questions
Is IronPack free?
Yes. Logging, records, heatmaps, packs, cards, friends, boards and leagues are free forever. A Pro subscription (US$3.99 a month or US$29.99 a year, 14-day trial on annual) adds advanced trend analytics and unlimited custom routines. Cards and packs are never sold.
Does the game get in the way mid-workout?
No. Between sets IronPack is a logger with a rest timer. The game settles up when you finish the session: points, packs and records land at the summary, not between sets.
Can I buy packs or cards?
No, and that is permanent. The full rule is published at every card is earned.
What platforms?
iPhone. Currently on the New Zealand App Store, wider rollout to follow.
