## What is Aldo Coach?

Most training apps hand you a program and never touch it again. Other workout apps with an AI will talk to you all day while the workout on screen doesn't move.

Aldo does the thing neither does: it changes the actual program, in front of you, because of something you said or something you logged.

COACHES EVERY SET
Your session is written before you walk in — the lifts, the loads, the reps. Log a set and Aldo answers underneath it: what that rep speed meant, and what it's doing about it. Not a chat you have to go and open. A line under the set you just finished. Hit a top set written at RPE 8 and finish it at 6, and the back-off sets below are already written back up, waiting on one tap: Accept or Keep.

BUILDS YOUR PLAN
Tell Aldo your goal, your equipment, and how you train. It writes a full periodized program, week by week — not a template with your name on it. Then it plans around the weeks you actually have: sync your calendar and a work trip or a late shift becomes part of the plan instead of the reason you fell off it.

ANY GOAL
Powerlifting, CrossFit, bodybuilding, or just staying in the game for another thirty years. Conditioning is first-class, not bolted onto a lifting app — an EMOM, an AMRAP, a circuit or a complex is written with real numbers, runs on its own timer, and gets scored when you're done.

YOU SET THE CEILING
Coming back from something? Give Aldo a pain score with each set and it tracks the trend across the load, not just the last reading. Quiet at 185, still quiet at 225, and the session keeps going. Cross the ceiling you set and Aldo flags it and proposes a lighter set, even when the lift itself felt easy. Proposed, not imposed. You tap Apply.

REMEMBERS EVERYTHING
Mention a sore shoulder once and Aldo files it: what aggravates it, what doesn't, and a ceiling on the lift that caused it until it's been quiet for a couple of sessions. It programs around it without being asked again. The same memory holds your working loads, your equipment, and the fact that you'd rather be out of the gym in an hour on a weekday. All of it is yours to read and edit.

YEARS OF HISTORY
Every lift has its own page — estimated 1RM over time, your best single, triple, five and eight, and every session you've ever done it. It's not just a chart to look at: it's the same history Aldo reads before it writes your next session. Already training? Upload a spreadsheet or a PDF of your log and Aldo will read it in.

WORKS OFFLINE
Your program, your history, and today's session live on your device and don't disappear without a signal. Sending a message to your coach needs a connection, like any AI feature does — the app itself doesn't.

YOUR DATA
Your training data is yours. It's used to run your coaching, never sold and never used for advertising.

WHAT ALDO IS NOT
Not a doctor, a physio, or a medical device. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything and it can't clear you to return from an injury. It's not a replacement for a coach who can watch you lift, and it isn't infallible — it's an AI model and it can be wrong. Read the Health & Safety Notice before you train with it.

### 5/5 — Also transformed my workout effectiveness!

*2026-09-20*

I have been working out off and on my whole life in a maintenance mode.  After 8 weeks of Aldo coaching, I’m in a totally different place.  Aldo helped me reset my workout routine and coaches me through each session.  The AI coaching is spot on and pushes me to higher levels that I would not have achieved without it.  I can see and feel the results in just 2 months and I’m confident it will help keep me on track for years to come.

### 5/5 — The Fitness App Designed for Everyone

*2026-09-16*

As someone who’s been going to the gym consistently for over 5 years, I didn’t think I needed/wanted an ai coach to track my workouts. After 2 weeks of using the app I can already tell this app is going to get me to my goals faster than I was doing before. Tracking my reps per workout week over week and building on them and getting immediate feedback has been game changing. I highly recommend this App for anyone who has a specific physical goal in mind or even the person that wants to get in the swing of working out. It’ll generate a program curated to your liking and tweak it as you go. Again, this app is perfect for anyone who wants to actually get fit.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-09-16*

This is basically a fitness wrapper for Claude. And that is exactly the missing piece in the world of fitness apps. An app built around an LLM. Amazing idea and it simply works.

### 5/5 — Nothing like it.

*2026-09-02*

Really solid app. I’ve got a torn shoulder, so I really like that the workouts can adjust around what I’m able to do instead of just giving me some generic plan. It feels way more personalized and actually useful day to day.

### 5/5 — Game changer!

*2026-09-01*

Aldo has been a game changer for my fitness journey. I love how it tailors a program specifically to my needs and any limitations. Then coaches me throughout my workout to hit just the right level of effort so I can continue to come back stronger. Aldo is a game changer.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-05

Minor polish and bug fixes

### 1.1 — 2026-09-04

Apple Health, expanded
• Aldo now reads your sleep, body weight, resting heart rate and HRV. A Recovery strip on the Workout tab shows
  where you are today, and your coach plans around it.
• Training you record outside Aldo — a run on your watch, a class — is now something Aldo can see.

Motion
• Log pads, sheets and dialogs open and close with real movement instead of appearing in a single frame.

Conditioning and circuits
• Reps are no longer multiplied by rounds in: 80 burpees records 80, not 320.
• A single-movement AMRAP scores max reps in one field.
• A circuit added to your session no longer appears twice.

Fixes
• Building today's session survives leaving the app mid-build.
• Aldo stops mistaking a warm-up for your first working set.
• A correct program is no longer flagged for a rebuild over a bodyweight movement that carries no load.
• Sharper program reviews, and a tidier long-term memory of you.
