Answer six questions and Paice writes your week: exercises for the equipment you actually have, sets and reps for your goal, and a video of every move. Miss a day and the rest of the week moves with you.
Build your week.
Every answer changes the plan on the phone. At the end you get the whole week, and you can send it to yourself.
Full body A
Start from where you are.
Pick the one that sounds like you. Paice fills in the answers and shows you the plan; change anything after.
How Paice picks your weight.
No black box. These are the rules, and the app shows the one it used under every exercise.
- Week 1 finds your numbers. You start light, log how many reps you got, and Paice sets your working weight from that.
- Every exercise has a rep range, for example 8 to 12. Reach the top on every set and the next session goes up by the smallest step you own: 2 kg on dumbbells, 2.5 kg on a barbell.
- Fall short and the weight holds until you reach the top of the range.
- Two stalled sessions in a row and Paice changes the rep range or the variation.
- Miss a workout and nothing resets. The sessions you missed move into the days you have left, as far as recovery allows.
Top of the range on every set. Next session: 18 kg.
Two sets short. Stay at 18 kg and aim for 12 on each.
Done. Up to 20 kg.
You skipped Monday. The squat moves to Wednesday at 20 kg, and Wednesday's lower-body work moves to Friday.
Tell it what hurts. Tell it what you own.
Swaps when something hurts
Mark a joint in the app and Paice swaps the exercise for one that trains the same muscle.
Paice is not medical advice. Sharp or lasting pain is a reason to see a professional.
One path, from the floor to the barbell
Each exercise is linked to an easier and a harder version, so your plan can move up when you are ready or when your equipment changes.
Every exercise comes with a video.
More than 1,300 exercises, each with a looping demo, the muscles it works and three short cues. Open one between sets and see exactly how it's done.
Logging that keeps up with you.
Your last numbers sit beside every set. Tap the check and the rest timer starts on its own.
- Weights and reps are pre-filled from the plan, so most sets are one tap.
- Under each exercise, one line says why the weight changed.
- Every exercise keeps its history and your best set.

Questions.
Do I need a gym?
No. Choose bodyweight only and every exercise uses the floor, a wall, a chair or a table. Add dumbbells or a gym later and the plan switches to the matching versions of the same movements.
I've never trained before. Is this for me?
Yes. Pick "First time" and the first weeks use simpler movements, fewer sets and machines where they help. Every exercise has a video, and week 1 is about finding your starting weights, not testing your limits.
I want to lose weight. Does Paice handle that?
Choose "Lose fat" and the plan keeps your strength work, uses shorter rest and adds conditioning at the end of sessions. Food tracking isn't in the app yet; it's planned after launch.
What if I'm injured?
Mark knees, lower back or shoulders and Paice swaps the exercises that usually load them. It can't diagnose anything. If something hurts sharply or for days, see a doctor or a physical therapist.
When can I download it? Android?
Paice is in private beta on iPhone. Build a plan above and send it to yourself, and we'll write when the App Store version is ready. Android comes after the iPhone launch.
Which languages?
English first, then Portuguese and Spanish, including the cues under every exercise.
What happens to my data?
Your plan and logs are stored to sync between your devices. Nothing is sold, and health data is never used for ads. The full privacy policy says exactly what's kept.
