FAQ
How does Liftspan adapt workouts for joint pain?
Liftspan asks about your specific joint issues (e.g., shoulder, knee, back) and filters out or modifies exercises that could aggravate them. It suggests alternative movements that target the same muscles while being joint-friendly.
Can I import my existing workout plans into Liftspan?
Yes, you can take a photo of your current program, and Liftspan will read and import it. It can then swap out any exercises that load a problematic joint you've specified.
What kind of progress tracking does Liftspan offer?
Liftspan provides estimated 1RM calculations for each lift, records your all-time best lifts, and measures your weekly hard sets against scientific recommendations. You can also save and share your workout cards.
How does the Liftspan streak system work?
The streak system rewards showing up for any activity, not just lifting. Logging a walk, bike ride, or yoga session keeps your streak alive. Lifting days count separately, and a full training week earns a freeze for a missed day.
What are the subscription options for Liftspan Pro?
Liftspan Pro is available through monthly ($7.99/month) and annual ($59.99/year) subscriptions. Both plans offer a 1-month free trial.
Does Liftspan have ads?
No, Liftspan is ad-free. The free version includes core features like workout logging, joint-friendly planning, and streak tracking without advertisements.
What devices does Liftspan support?
Liftspan is currently supported on iPhone. Your training data is synced across all your devices.
Is Liftspan suitable for beginners or advanced lifters?
Liftspan is designed to be adaptable for various fitness levels. It can accommodate different training environments (gym, home, travel) and equipment (bodyweight, dumbbells, machines).
