Your Training. Smarter. AdaptTrain makes your training adaptive. Not every day is the same. Your recovery changes, your training load accumulates, and your body does not respond to training in exactly the same way every day. AdaptTrain takes these factors into account and helps you adjust your training to your current state. Train Based on Your Current State See at a glance how ready you are for your next workout. AdaptTrain combines different factors to give you an overall picture of your current recovery — including physical training load, sleep, and cardiovascular data. This helps you plan your training more consciously instead of following the same routine every day. Your Training Adjusts Automatically AdaptTrain creates workouts based on your previous training data, current training load, and training goals. The system takes into account factors including: • Training volume • Muscle load • RPE and training intensity • Previous workouts • Recovery • Available equipment • Training goals You can swap suggested exercises at any time and adapt your workout to your individual circumstances. Understand Your Training Load Keep track of your muscle groups and see which areas have already been trained and which may be ready for training again. Over time, this helps you better understand how your body responds to your training. Track Your Progress Log your sets, repetitions, weights, and RPE directly during your workout. AdaptTrain analyzes your training history and makes your progress visible — so you don't just train, you understand how your training is developing. Connect Your Health Data If you use Apple Health, AdaptTrain can read selected data such as: • Resting heart rate • Heart rate variability (HRV) • Sleep and incorporate it into your recovery assessment. Your health data is processed locally on your device. Built for Long-Term Progress AdaptTrain isn't designed to give you the exact same workout every day. The idea is a system that learns from your training over time and helps you better align your training load, recovery, and training planning. Train. Adapt. Progress. AdaptTrain — Your Training. Smarter.
