Where the body is heard. Your body speaks all day. In tight shoulders, a stiff back, the tension you’ve carried so long you stopped noticing. Aescape listens. Aescape is Adaptive Body Therapy. It maps your body, reads the tension you’re holding, and responds in real time. Three ways to release. - Signature Sessions. Expert-designed sessions for what your body asks for most. Choose one and let Aescape do the rest. - The Brady Protocol. A targeted 30-minute recovery session co-developed with Tom Brady. The ritual his career was built on, now built around you. - Create Your Aescape. Build your session from the ground up. Choose your focus areas, pressure, length and music. Built around your body. Every protocol is shaped to your contours, pressure points and preferences. No two are the same. Yours is yours. Feel heard without saying a word. Adjust pressure and intensity mid-session without explaining yourself to anyone. Better every session. Aescape learns from each session, so the results compound. Stop chasing relief. Start a practice that pays off. Book in a few taps. Find a location, check availability and book. Sessions start at 15 minutes, and synchronized dual arms deliver 60 minutes of impact in 30. Fully clothed. Every body welcome. Come as you are. Designed for every body type, so you can focus on letting go. Tension isn’t something you have to live with. Listen. Release. Repeat.

Coach Lucas is your private training and nutrition companion — everything you need to run your own program and hit your numbers, with nothing you don't. BUILD OR PICK A PROGRAM • Start from a ready-made split in 30, 45, or 60-minute versions — Full Body and Push/Pull/Legs are free; Upper/Lower, Body-Part, and a dumbbell/bodyweight Hotel routine are Pro. • Or build your own with Pro: name your days, pick exercises from a built-in library (or add your own), set sets/reps/rest/weights, pair supersets, and drag to reorder. • Or skip setup — start a freestyle workout with no program and add exercises as you go. It all counts toward your history and records. • Keep multiple programs — a cut block and a bulk block — and switch the active one anytime. • Import a program a coach or friend shares (QR code, file, or spreadsheet) for free; building and sharing your own is Pro. Structure only — never your weights or history. TRAIN SMARTER • A rest timer that keeps running and alerts you even when your phone is locked. • Plate math that tells you what to load on the bar. • Instant lbs/kg switch — even mid-workout; every weight and suggestion converts. • Progression that bumps the weight only when you earn it — every set at target reps. • Optional RPE, warm-up marking, and drop/rest-pause/myo sets — logged as real volume, never inflating PRs. • Swap any exercise mid-workout — same-muscle alternatives for when a machine's taken. • An optional deload week — suggestions ease off, and progression pauses, then resumes. • Rest timer + set logging on your Apple Watch. DIAL IN YOUR NUTRITION • A built-in macro calculator: enter your stats and goal for a daily calorie + macro target you can adjust. • Adaptive maintenance: after ~2 weeks, it estimates your maintenance calories from your own intake-vs-weight trend. • Log meals fast — scan a barcode or search ~352,000 packaged foods built into the app (US, Canada, UK, Australia), completely offline. Re-log favorites, repeat yesterday, or import from Apple Health. • Set a weight goal with a target date and see the pace to get there. • Define your own daily non-negotiables and keep a streak going. • Switching apps? Import your workout and weigh-in history from any CSV export — free. SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Insights — body-composition trends, weekly volume by muscle group, relative strength, a stalling-lift scoreboard, and a resting-heart-rate trend. • Nutrition Insights — your weight-goal trajectory and how consistently you hit your macro targets. • Personal records and per-exercise strength trends, including an effort-adjusted 1RM. TRACK THE REST • Body weight and body composition over time — with a 7-day average that cuts through water swings. • Supplements and medication doses (e.g., a doctor-prescribed GLP-1) — records what you enter, never recommends. • Cardio and guided mobility routines, too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No login. No servers. • The app makes no network calls in normal use — your data never leaves your device. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Apple's privacy label is "Data Not Collected." • Optional encrypted backup file you control. PRICING • Free to download and use — workout logging, the rest timer, weigh-ins, manual macros, barcode meal logging, the macro calculator, a weight goal, the JSON backup, and CSV import. • One optional, one-time purchase (no subscription) unlocks Coach Lucas Pro: the program builder, the full starter-program library, training analytics + Nutrition Insights, personal records, adaptive maintenance, deload weeks, advanced set types, guided mobility, daily non-negotiables, supplement & medication logging, the meal matcher, Apple Health import, and CSV export. Pay once; restores across your devices. Coach Lucas gives general fitness and nutrition guidance and estimates. It is not medical or nutritional advice or a substitute for a doctor or dietitian. Consult a professional before major changes to your diet, training, or medications.
