Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Arthur, the solo founder and developer behind AARU. I started building the app around two years ago because I had tried many workout trackers, but always felt that something was missing. Most of them were good at recording sets, yet very few helped me understand what those numbers actually meant over time. I wanted to create something that could answer questions such as: Am I genuinely progressing on this exercise? Is my weekly volume increasing or decreasing? Am I recovering properly between sessions? Which muscle groups am I neglecting? How does my performance compare relative to my bodyweight? That idea slowly became AARU. Today, the app lets you create or download community workouts, log your repetitions and weights, and access detailed analyses for complete workouts, individual exercises, specific sets and muscle groups. There is also body measurement tracking, customizable targets, performance sharing and a ranking system for major compound exercises. Rankings are based on strength relative to bodyweight from sets of four to six repetitions, rather than simply rewarding whoever lifts the most absolute weight. This is still the first public version, and I’m fully aware that there is plenty left to improve. Early testers have already helped me identify a few bugs, and I’m working through them as quickly as possible. My first goal is to validate the core experience with real lifters. If AARU reaches its first 1,000 users, I’ll begin working on a much larger V2 with training programs, goal tracking, broader exercise support, more advanced analytics and support for additional training styles such as CrossFit. A dedicated platform for coaches and gyms is also part of the longer-term vision. I’d genuinely love your honest feedback — especially about the onboarding, workout tracking experience, analytics and anything that feels confusing or unnecessary. Thank you for checking out AARU.
