IronShift builds one strength and conditioning program that takes both your lifting and your cardio seriously, and keeps them from getting in each other's way. Done properly, strength and conditioning aren't separate problems: a heavy leg day and a hard run don't belong back to back, and neither belongs the morning after a night shift. IronShift handles that sequencing for you, then rebuilds the week as your training and your schedule change. Built for serious athletes, and for the shift workers and first responders who train hard around weeks that don't look normal. How it works • Tell us your schedule. Any rotation. Fixed weeks, rotating shifts, four-on-four-off, whatever you actually work. Your program is built around it. • Pick your focus. Whether you're chasing a half or full marathon, Hyrox, a balanced split, or pure strength, each plan is fully periodised from week one to race day or peak. • Train and log. Record your sets, reps, and effort. Connect Apple Health or Strava and your runs come in on their own. • The plan adjusts. Every week is rebuilt from what you actually did. Your loads climb when you've earned it, and hard sessions never stack back to back. What you get • Strength and conditioning in one plan, sequenced to work together instead of competing. • Running volume that climbs no faster than 10% a week, to protect your joints. • Proper deloads, recovery days, and zone-based conditioning, built in and not optional. • A weekly view that shows exactly what changed, and why. Every program starts with a 7-day free trial. Train hard. Recover on purpose. Let the plan keep up with your life. IronShift Membership Monthly: $14.99 CAD per month. Annual: $95.99 CAD per year. Prices are shown in your local currency and may vary by region. Both plans start with a 7 day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
