About BellSense: Kettlebell Coach
BellSense is your coach. Tell it your goal and the days you can train, and it calls every session — what to do, how heavy, how hard. Each one moves on what you actually did. Make every rep matter. How the coaching works Pick a program, or just ask what to train today. Each session tells you what to do. You log your sets and rate how they felt, and the coach reads all of it — reps, effort, volume, heart rate if you wear a monitor, and your sleep, HRV and resting heart rate from Apple Health, combined into a daily readiness score. Then it makes the call a coach makes: add weight, hold, or back off. Decided by your results and your recovery, not by a calendar — and it tells you why it chose what it chose. The programs Beginner foundations through advanced work: strength, hypertrophy, power, density, conditioning, and skill. Four weeks to several months, two to five days a week. Kettlebell on its own, or paired with a barbell or bodyweight. Filter by your level, your days, and what you are training for. Finish one and the coach runs your first session again as a retest, so you see what changed in your own numbers. Every program is free. Four ways to track a set • Prop your phone up and the camera counts your reps as you go — squats, presses, rows, swings, snatches • Log it by hand in a few taps • Film a set and get it read back rep by rep • Cardio — run, row, bike, ski, swim, sled, or anything else — logged, or read live in heart rate zones Complexes Chain lifts into one set — clean to press to squat, without setting the bell down. Timed rounds, and you log each movement after. What it learns Every session ends with the call for next time: add weight, hold, or back off. Progress builds week over week: volume, trends, readiness, conditioning load, and whether your lifts are moving. All of it free. The coach's written read of a session is the BellSense+ layer, with a free taste first. Train with people Make a group, share your sessions, and compare on a leaderboard. Free, and entirely optional. The bell sensor BellSense started as a small sensor that mounts on the kettlebell. It is in development and not for sale yet. The app never requires one. BellSense+ An optional subscription. Your coach reads each session and tells you what the numbers mean, with weekly and monthly reviews and an on-demand read of your last 30 sessions. It rebuilds today's session when your readiness calls for it, from 30 sessions of history instead of 10. Tell it you slept badly, something hurts, or you only have twenty minutes, and it adapts the day around that. It sets a weekly conditioning target from the training load you actually carried, and it analyses unlimited lifting videos, scoring how your form held across the set. Programs, progression, and cardio stay free. • BellSense+ Monthly — $9.99 per month • BellSense+ Annual — $79.99 per year BellSense+ Live The top tier. The coach watches your sets through the camera and speaks while it happens.

What’s new
Version 2.27 · Updated October 5, 2026
Thirty-two new kettlebell movements for warm-ups, accessories and finishers, from the halo and the Cossack squat to the push press, the jerk and the long cycle, each with a demo you can watch inside the app. Tap any lift in your session and the coach opens its page: the demo, what it works, the coach's own line on the lift, and its read of you on it. Your last bell, your best set, four weeks of volume and where it is heading, and what comes next. Tracked lifts first, more as the words land. The coach's pick now grows with you. Each main lift starts where it last ended at that effort, a round up when a session went well, a round down when it did not. Top out twice and the next bell is offered on the card itself. Away for a while and it eases you back in. Accessories grow too, a rep or five seconds at a time, then a set, then the bell. Setup is a few taps. The coach asks your goal and your experience as chips, with one optional line for anything else. Name a lift there and the coach can pick a program built around it. Going back from the handoff resumes where you left off, with your answers kept. Warm-ups and extras change from day to day. The warm-up knows the lift you are about to train, and the coach's accessories and finishers rotate among the ones that fit, so the same day stops repeating. A swing day now says which swing it is. One-arm and dead-stop swings are named on screen and saved on every set, the one-arm swing keeps its own bell and climb instead of sharing the two-hand swing's, and the dead-stop swing runs on the sensor. Carries log steps, metres or seconds, as the block was written, and the coach's dose line says which. On a hand-logged lift you can add a set past the prescription; it counts toward the session without changing how the day is graded. Swipe a workout on Home to delete it. Your first session now tells you when it unlocks your 14 days of BellSense+ Live, on the results screen or the next time you open Home. A doubles block is recorded per bell, with the sensor or by hand. After a sensor or camera session you can tag what went wrong with a set, and a one-arm lift asks which arm. The goblet-squat camera setup no longer waits on a distance reading that drifts while you squat, and the camera's swing screen is clear of the groove bar. With the sensor: a complex later in a program day keeps its reps, a first rep is judged at the rate your sensor actually sends, and your personal rep baselines learn again after the bell is re-mounted. Fixed: the coach's reply at the end of setup is back for lifters with AI coaching on. The coach's greeting ducks your music and gives it back. The sets card has a Done button, and tapping an empty round no longer counts as an edit. The cardio modality row appears only on cardio blocks and shows your pick. Home's results screen recovers a workout instead of going blank.
