MyCoach Ed is a training app with a coach that reads your logs first. Your plan, every set you've lifted, what you ate, your sleep and your blood test results sit in one place, and your coach sees all of it before it answers. KNOW WHAT TO LIFT TODAY • A 12-week periodised plan from your goal, experience and the days you can train: accumulation, intensification, peak, then a deload week. • Your split fits your week: Full Body or Push/Pull/Legs on three days, Upper/Lower on four, up to Push/Pull/Legs twice on six. • Every set shows last session's weight and reps and a target for today. Hit the top of the rep range on your working sets and it tells you to add weight. • Log a set in a tap. The rest timer keeps time with your phone locked, and new records are flagged when you finish. • 140 exercises with form cues and the muscles they work. Each one you train gets a progress chart and an estimated 1-rep max. • Swap, add or remove exercises and change rest times. Tell it about a shoulder, back, knee, elbow, hip or wrist injury in setup and your plan leaves out the exercises that load it. SNAP A MEAL, MACROS DONE • Take a photo and it lists each food with its weight, calories, protein, carbs and fat. Change a portion and the numbers rescale before you log. • Or search the built-in food list, or type it in. • Calorie and macro targets set from your body and goal. See what's left today, and ask your coach what to eat with it. A COACH THAT READS YOUR LOGS • Ask why your bench stalled, what to eat with 600 calories left, or how to train after a bad night's sleep. Answers come from your plan, recent sessions, meals, lab results, supplements and Apple Health data. • Talk or type. Say "bench 100 kilos, 4 sets of 8" and it's logged. • Ask it to change your plan, swap a session or add a rest day. • It notices stalls, missed protein and poor recovery, and brings them up. LAB RESULTS NEXT TO YOUR TRAINING • Photograph or upload a blood test report. Every marker is read and placed against your lab's own reference range, with anything outside it flagged first. • Every panel is kept so you can compare, and the report suggests supplement changes for flagged markers. SUPPLEMENTS ON SCHEDULE • Your stack grouped by time of day around your meals, with reminders and one tap to mark doses taken. • A shopping list of must-have, recommended and optional items. READINESS FROM APPLE HEALTH • Reads your sleep, resting heart rate, HRV, steps and active energy, and shows a readiness score out of 100 on your dashboard. Your coach takes it into account. MADE FOR WOMEN, TOO • Pick female in setup for a rose look, women's imagery and plans with more glute work. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest and never sold. Delete a lab panel, or your whole account and everything in it, from the app at any time. MyCoach Ed is for information and tracking. It is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose or treat any condition. SUBSCRIPTION Setup is free and builds your plan.
