Tenax is a personal coach that builds your training plan with AI. It does not hand out a stock template: it asks about your injuries, your equipment, your goal and the movements you cannot do, then writes the plan around them. ▸ AI COACH — TENAX PRO In the setup wizard, enter your injuries, how many days a week you train, your equipment and your working weights. The AI writes a 12-week plan and it lands straight in the Workout tab. Moves you marked as "can't do" never appear; the coach picks a safe alternative instead. Full gym, dumbbells only, or nothing at home — all three work. ▸ WEEKLY ANALYSIS The Coach tab reads your logged workouts and suggests new working weights. Tap "Apply" and your program changes. Free users get one analysis a day by watching an ad. ▸ MEALS FROM A PHOTO Snap your plate or type what you ate and get a calorie, protein, carb and fat estimate in seconds (Pro). Manual logging, your daily calorie and protein goal and the energy balance in Analytics are free. Meal photos are never stored. ▸ 412 EXERCISES, ALL ON VIDEO Every movement comes with a video, the muscles it works and a difficulty level. The whole library is free. ▸ WORKING WEIGHTS AND CALIBRATION If you don't know your working weight, calibration finds it. Log every set and the app tells you where to pick up next time. A plate hint shows how to load the bar; supersets are built in. ▸ RUN, WALK, RIDE No program needed: route, distance and pace are tracked with GPS, even with the screen locked. ▸ APPLE HEALTH Workouts (with km splits and route) and meals are written to Apple Health. Energy burned, weight from your scale and meals from other apps flow back into your calorie goal. ▸ PROGRESS ANALYTICS Weekly volume, time, sets and reps in clear charts. The last 30 days are free; Pro adds 3 months, a year and all time, the strength curve (estimated 1RM) and readiness, which compares your HRV, resting heart rate and sleep with your own baseline. ▸ FRIENDS, LEAGUE AND DISCOVER Add friends with a code or QR and compete on weekly XP in the friend league. Publish your program to Discover or copy someone else's — your weights are never shared. Put your workout stats on your own photo or video: 7 templates, 8 colors. ▸ BODY MEASUREMENTS Log weight, chest, waist, hips, arm, thigh and neck and see them on a 3D body model. ▸ WIDGETS, LANGUAGES, THEMES Today, Streak and Weekly goal widgets. Turkish, English (US and UK), German, Spanish and French — the interface and all 412 exercises. Light, dark or Neon theme. ▸ YOUR ACCOUNT IS YOURS Sign in with email, Google or Apple.
