About

Your bench has been stuck at 85kg for 3 weeks. A tracker would show you the number. A coach would tell you why. EgoLift tells you both — and prescribes exactly what to do next. — EgoLift is not a workout planner. Not a social feed. Not a generic fitness app. It's a strength tracking tool with an AI coach that analyzes your data, detects problems before you do, and prescribes real plans with real numbers — based on YOUR sessions, not a template. WHAT THE COACH DOES: — Detects plateaus across 5 PR categories (e1RM, 3RM, 5RM, 8RM, Volume) — Prescribes reset plans: specific weights, sets, reps, RPE targets — Flags when your RPE trend says you need a deload — and programs it — Analyzes every session and tells you what to change next time — Uses your preferred unit (kg or lbs), your actual numbers, your history WHAT YOU GET FREE: — Full workout logging — sets, reps, weight, RPE — 80+ exercises including custom exercises — Supersets with smart rest timer — Personal records tracking (5 types) — Routines and templates with auto-progression — Session history and CSV export — Smart rest timer (adapts to exercise type + RPE) WHAT PREMIUM UNLOCKS: — Unlimited coach questions — Post-session analysis with prescriptions — Plateau detection with reset plans — Deload programming — Weekly performance review — Session comparison (Today vs Last Time) 14-day free trial. Then $8.99/month or $59.99/year. — A real coach charges $200/month. This one charges $8.99. And it doesn't sugarcoat. Built for lifters who already know what RPE means.
