Axl is the coach you never had — one conversation with a coach that knows your training, for every run, every ride, and the race you're building toward. TELL IT WHERE YOU'RE GOING Pick what you train — running, cycling or Hyrox — and tell Axl your goal: a 10K under 50 minutes, a first marathon, a Hyrox race in spring. Axl asks what it needs to know about your week and your level, then writes your first week. A PLAN THAT FOLLOWS YOUR WEEK Life moves sessions. Tell Axl a day went wrong, your legs feel heavy or work ate your evening, and it adjusts within the rules of your method — not by guessing, and never by cramming a missed session into the next day. IT READS WHAT YOU RECORD Connect Apple Health, Strava, Oura or Polar and your sessions, sleep and recovery reach Axl on their own. It reacts to what you actually did, not only to what was planned. ASK ANYTHING, ANY TIME Pacing a race, a niggle after a long run, whether to run intervals today — ask in text or by voice and get an answer that knows your history. Axl checks in when something changes, and stays quiet in the hours you choose. MAKE IT YOURS Pick the voice Axl speaks in and the way it talks to you — warm, blunt or short. Have any answer read aloud. SAFE BY DESIGN Axl coaches training. It does not give medical advice: report pain or a warning sign and it stops your training and sends you to a professional. Axl is a coaching app, not a medical device. Consult a qualified professional about pain, injury or illness. ## Is Axl safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Axl. ## Is Axl legit?

Axl can plan your training around your week: turn on Calendar in the menu and Axl sees only when you are busy over the next 7 days, never what an event is, who it is with or where. When Axl suggests connecting Apple Health or a device, the chat shows a button that takes you straight there. Your messages show when Axl has received and read them, and Axl's typing shows at the top of the chat. Screens slide in again, and you can swipe from the left edge to go back. The session card asks how it went, and none of its answers looks chosen before you tap. Smaller fixes and library updates. ## Apps similar to Axl | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [KMOI: Running](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kmoi-running/id6761644783) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Desk Yoga: Stretch at Work](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/desk-yoga-stretch-at-work/id6759360269) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Revio Wellness](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/revio-wellness/id6763918889) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Sonaya: Meditation, Your Voice](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sonaya-meditation-your-voice/id6754783861) | 2.0 (1) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Affemini: women's affirmations](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/affemini-womens-affirmations/id6557031543) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Thanks Universe: Manifestation](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/thanks-universe-manifestation/id6478569310) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
