AG Loop is a training and nutrition coach built around one idea: your plan should adapt to how your body is actually doing today, not follow a fixed script. READINESS SCORE Every day, AG Loop reads your HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep (synced automatically from Health Connect/HealthKit) and fuses them into one daily Readiness Score. On a low-readiness day, your workout load and nutrition targets adjust automatically — no guessing whether today should be a hard day or a rest day. REAL PERIODIZATION No flat, repeat-forever workout plan. AG Loop builds real training blocks — undulating rep ranges, an RPE ramp, and a scheduled deload week — tailored to your goal, so your training actually progresses week to week. AI MEAL PHOTO ANALYSIS Snap a photo of your meal and get an instant calorie and macro breakdown. Log manually anytime, repeat a previous meal in one tap, and see exactly how much you have left for the day. ADAPTIVE NUTRITION TARGETS Your targets shift based on your training day and your readiness — a hard training day and a rest day don't call for the same fuel. WARM-UPS & COOL-DOWNS A built-in library of guided warm-ups and cool-downs, ready before and after every session. SAFETY FIRST Every recommendation is an estimate, not medical advice. Consult a professional before starting any exercise or nutrition program. Start with a 7-day free trial — cancel anytime before it converts.
