## What is Zena?

More than just a workout tracker, Zena is personalised strength coaching for women who want to get stronger — without having to figure everything out themselves.

Starting from scratch? Let Zena build a personalised program around your goals, experience, schedule and equipment. Already have a training plan from your coach, ChatGPT or your own spreadsheet? Import it into Zena and track your progress properly. 

**RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHEN TO INCREASE YOUR WEIGHTS, AND WHEN TO HOLD STEADY OR DROP BACK**

Zena doesn't just log your workouts. It pays attention to how you're performing and helps you progress your training over time.

Hit the top of your rep range? Zena can recommend when it's time to go heavier. Struggling with a weight? Hold steady. Making progress? You'll actually be able to see it.

You get the recommendation and the reasoning behind it, but you're always in control so you can easily adapt each workout to how you are feeling on the day.

**TRAIN SMARTER, NOT JUST HARDER**

Connect Apple Health for a daily readiness score based on signals like sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and recent training.

Zena helps you understand when you're recovered and ready to push, and when taking it easier might be the smarter choice.

**BUILT AROUND YOU**

Your goals. Your equipment. Your schedule. Your training history.

Zena can generate a personalised strength program from scratch or adapt your existing training as things change. Optional cycle-aware insights can add extra context to your recovery and performance, too.

**SEE YOURSELF GET STRONGER**

Track your workouts, weights, reps, personal bests and strength trends over time. Set goals for the lifts that matter to you and see the work add up.

Whether you're working toward your first pull-up, adding weight to your squat, or simply trying to feel stronger than you did six months ago, Zena helps you know you're moving forward.

**FEATURES**

• AI-generated strength programs built around your goals, schedule, and equipment

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-12

• Smarter program design - Zena now looks back across your recent training blocks (not just the most recent one) when planning your next, so a recovery week never gets mistaken for your new baseline.
• Real progression, built in - training blocks now ramp week to week toward a target, instead of repeating the same numbers for the whole block.
• Conditioning, properly tracked - add rower, bike, or interval sessions to your program and log real numbers (time, distance, calories).
• Track your first pull-up - assisted pull-up progress now counts toward your PBs as you work down to zero assistance.
• Start a program mid-block - New to Zena but midway through an existing program? You can import it and let Zena know which week you are up to so you don’t have to wait for a new block to start tracking your progress.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-01

Importing a program is now faster and more reliable, especially for longer, multi-week plans. We've also added support for programs with different reps and weights per set (like "Set 1: 3 @ 120kg, Set 2: 5 @ 110kg"), plus a handful of bug fixes and polish.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-26

A few small fixes and polish under the hood. Thanks for training with Zena!

### 1.0 — 2026-08-24
