Bellwork turns one kettlebell into an exercise habit.
Bellwork prescribes the kettlebell swing and the Turkish get-up: how many reps, with which kettlebell, and when to progress or back off. You do the short workout and log it.
The whole program is these two movements. You start low and light, and work toward 100 swings and 10 get-ups per session.
Only one thing changes from one workout to the next — volume, weight, or swing style. Heavier kettlebells come in just a few sets at a time.
If a workout goes badly, the next one gets easier. You can repeat or adjust any workout yourself.
You need one kettlebell, some floor space, and nothing to research. Bellwork does the planning until the habit no longer needs the app.
There are no accounts, no analytics, no servers, and no tracking. Apple Health is optional, and you can export your data at any time.
Coming soon to the App Store.
Bellwork will be €4.99 for iPhone. No subscriptions.
Do I need kettlebell experience?
No. Bellwork asks about your experience and uses it to set up your starting point. It includes form guidance for both movements, but it does not replace coaching.
What kettlebell should I buy first?
One is enough, but there is no single starting weight that suits everyone. If you are new to kettlebells, start light; Bellwork plans around the weights you enter.
How long is a workout?
Usually 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the prescription and how long you rest.
Does every workout get harder?
No. Bellwork waits for repeated completed workouts and changes only one part at a time.
After a workout, you can tell Bellwork how you feel: Fine, Spent, or Wrecked. If you feel Spent, Bellwork holds progression. If you feel Wrecked, it makes the next prescription easier.
How are heavier kettlebells introduced?
Gradually. Bellwork puts the next weight into a few swing sets or get-up reps first, then increases its share over later workouts.
What happens if I miss workouts?
Bellwork compares the gap with your weekly workout target. A modest gap can pause progression; a longer one makes the next prescription easier. After more than a month, Bellwork suggests a restart check.
Does it work with Apple Health?
Yes, optionally. Bellwork can save completed Bellwork workouts and show recent workouts from other apps for you to tag. An outside workout does not affect your prescription until you tag its type and intensity.
