What it does
Made for one job, and to do it well.
See every move
Each exercise is an animation drawn by the app, with cues for each phase, tempo counts, common mistakes, and easier or harder options.
Guidance you can trace
Exercises are written in our own words from the NHS, the Royal Osteoporosis Society and pelvic health physiotherapy guidance. Every one shows where its guidance comes from.
A few questions before you start
A short health check flags anything to take care with, such as joint concerns or bone health, and points you to a GP or physiotherapist when that’s the right first step.
Pelvic floor routines
Separate routines for women and men, with a timer and reminders worded so nobody glancing at your phone can tell what they’re for.
A character who looks like you
Pick the figure, skin tone and hair you’d like to follow. It’s a display choice: the app never asks for your sex.
Easy to read, easy to follow
Large, high-contrast type, spoken cues, screen reader support and Reduce Motion. It all works offline, wherever you train.
Privacy
Your health and workout data stays on your phone. It is never sent to us.
No account, no ads, no analytics. Here is everything that can go online, and when. The full policy has the details.
