Meet Kongo

Most fitness apps feel
like spreadsheets.

Kongo feels like a friend. One that cheers when you hit a PR, nudges you when you skip, and actually knows your workout history.

No intimidating dashboards. No "optimize your macros" lectures. Just you, your lifts, and a gorilla who's rooting for you.

Progressive overload

Kongo remembers
so you don't have to.

Last session: 80 kg. Kongo pre-loads it automatically and pushes you to beat it.

Progressive overload is the #1 driver of strength gains — and the most forgotten step. Kongo surfaces the right nudge at the right moment, every time.

  • ✓ Tracks weight & rep history per exercise
  • ✓ Suggests progressive increases session-to-session
  • ✓ Works for any exercise, any program
