Kettlebell EMOM for iPhone and Apple Watch
A beep starts the round. You do your reps. The rest of the minute is yours. Kettlebeat sets the pace – so all you have to think about is clean, strong movement.
Coming soon to the App StoreFree to download · Kettlebeat Pro optional, try the yearly plan free for 7 days
EMOM stands for “Every Minute On the Minute.” At the top of every minute you start a round – say, 10 swings. Done after 25 seconds? Then you rest for 35. When the next minute starts, so does the next round. Ten rounds take exactly ten minutes.
It's simple and honest: the fitter you get, the more rest you earn. The built-in recovery helps you keep your technique sharp even in round ten. And because the clock sets the pace, there's no dawdling between sets.
Apple Watch
Start your workout on Apple Watch or with one tap from your iPhone. At the start of every round you feel a tap on your wrist and hear the beep – no need to glance at a clock.
iPhone
Put your iPhone next to your mat: seconds, round, target reps and time left at a glance. The beep keeps playing even when the screen is locked.
With Kettlebeat Pro, your iPhone becomes the big screen for your Apple Watch workout: the watch measures, the iPhone shows the timer and heart rate in large type – pause and adjust reps on either device.
Plan
Pick an exercise, tap a weight, set rounds and reps – done. Chain several exercises and they run back to back without a break. Or go for a ladder: 8, 7, 6 … reps, one fewer every minute.
Technique
Each of the 22 exercises comes with a guide that actually helps: starting position, step-by-step instructions, common mistakes, recommended weights from beginner to advanced and a tip for using it in an EMOM.
3D animations show the movement from an angle, the side, the front or the back. Tap a step and the figure stops right there. New to kettlebells? Start with the five free Basics: deadlift, swing, around the world, halo and goblet squat.

Your history keeps every workout, so you can see in black and white how you're getting stronger.
