What is BurnGauge

BurnGauge is a strength-training app that turns your logged workouts into actionable intelligence. You build or follow a program, log your sets in real time, and BurnGauge surfaces what's working: which lifts are progressing, where your volume is unbalanced, and when your recovery says push or back off.

What you can do

• Log workouts set by set, with RIR, supersets, a plate builder, and a rest timer — see The workout logger.
• Run programs — build your own or activate a template, then train from a weekly schedule. See Programs.
• Track progress — volume, estimated 1‑rep max (e1RM), PRs, muscle balance, and pattern detection. See Progress & insights.
• Get coached — preset AI Coach analyses of your week, deloads, and muscle balance. See AI Coach.
• Drive recovery from a wearable — connect Apple Health or Health Connect and your readiness is computed from real sleep/HRV/resting‑HR. See Connect a wearable.

Take the built-in tour

The first time you open the home screen, a TOUR button sits in the top-right. It walks you through each section of the app in about sixty seconds, one card at a time, and you can leave it at any point with Skip tour. It's the fastest way to learn where everything lives, and you can restart it whenever you like from that same button.

How the app is laid out

Five tabs run along the bottom of every screen, and they're the whole map:

Where to start

1. Create your account
2. Take the dashboard tour
3. Log your first workout

BurnGauge runs in any modern browser and as installable apps on iOS and Android — see Install the app. The screenshots throughout this guide are taken from the Android app; the iOS app and the web app carry the same sections under the same names.
