About this app

Meet your AI Coach: ask training questions, log or adjust workouts by chat, and build your own program — right in the app. New for this release: Texas Method and Heavy Light Medium (HLM) for when novice progression runs out, plus the ability to save your own variation of any program.

• Texas Method and Heavy Light Medium (HLM) built in for post-novice lifters, weights worked out for every session automatically
• Build your OWN program just by chatting with the AI Coach — "give me the Texas Method with rack pulls instead of deadlifts", "make my squats 5×5", "add chin-ups on day two" — it builds the whole week and tracks your progress from then on
• Save your own variation of any template and switch back any time

Ratings and reviews

So far I like it, but I the progress screen isn't accurately tracking my progress. For example: showing a PR I hit a week ago that ive since surpassed or showing the correct PR but the wrong date that I hit it. other than. Not the biggest of deals since I track my progress using the log, but for something I am paying for it is irritating.

Have been doing the NLP by myself. Fantastic program. The app is extremely easy to use and having the tutorial is great before lifting, just to keep form fresh on the mind.

So far it's great. Easy as can be. Wish the same could be said for how hard the workouts are getting....
