How it works

Everyone climbs the same chain.

You're never just a beginner. On Hamkke you learn from someone a few rungs above, train beside people at your level, and lift up someone newer — all at once.

The app

  • Same-building and same-gym matching
  • Filter by experience and goals, not just looks
  • Free buddies or paid mentor sessions

Gym Mode runs the whole session

Pick a plan or build your own cycle, then just lift. Hamkke counts your rest, logs your sets, and tracks volume and PRs live — and it keeps going in the background if you lock your phone or step away mid-workout.

  • Preset plans (Push·Pull·Legs, Upper·Lower) or a custom cycle
  • Rest-timer ring, fast set logging, live PRs
  • Pause and pick up later — your session even survives a reload
  • Runs in the background with a tappable control notification

Progress that logs itself

Because Gym Mode logs every set, your big lifts trend up on their own — no spreadsheet. Watch your PRs climb, keep your streak alive, and see your whole training year at a glance.

  • Lifts logged automatically from Gym Mode — never typed in twice
  • Trend lines for squat, bench & deadlift; streaks, PRs & weekly volume
  • A contribution-style training calendar of every day you showed up
  • Body metrics sync from Apple Health & Health Connect

Chase one goal, together

Rally your building or your buddies around a shared goal — total reps, sessions, a streak, or raw volume — over a set window. Every workout you log adds to one communal total, and The Chain shows who's pulling the crew forward. Or drop into the official Challenge of the Month, open to everyone and fresh each month.

  • Pick the goal — total reps, sessions, streak, or volume
  • Private, invite-only challenges — people join once they accept
  • Contributions counted automatically from your logged workouts
  • A rotating Challenge of the Month anyone can join

Questions

Good to know.

Safety is the core of Hamkke. Members can verify a government ID to earn a trust badge, gym check-ins are confirmed, and first sessions are suggested during staffed, public gym hours. Sensitive details like your lifts and precise location are shared only with people you accept as connections. You can share your live session with a trusted contact in one tap, and read vouches and reviews before you match.

Absolutely — Gym Mode is a full training companion on its own. Pick a plan like Push·Pull·Legs or build your own cycle, then lift: it runs the rest timer, logs each set, and tracks your volume and PRs live. Pause and pick up later, and it keeps going in the background with a tappable control notification. Everything flows straight into Progress, so your lifts and streak update themselves — no double entry.

No. Finding and training with buddies at your level is completely free. You only pay when you choose to book a paid session with a mentor, and prices are always shown up front.

Especially for you. Hamkke exists so newcomers never feel lost. You'll be matched with patient mentors and buddies who were beginners once too — and you can keep it free with a buddy or learn faster with a paid mentor.

Yes. If you've got experience to share, set your rate and get discovered by newer lifters in your building and gym. Hamkke handles secure payments and scheduling so you can focus on coaching.

Not at all. Apartment gyms are a perfect fit because your match might be a few floors away — but Hamkke works at any gym. Filter by your building, your gym, or everyone nearby.
