Our mission is to xelerate the performance for all athletes through 3 main principles. 1) Exercise Inventory, 2) Program Design, and 3) Community: 1) Exercise Inventory: The primary issue I hear from athletes as a strength coach is, "I want to go to the gym but, I just don't know what to do" or "I do the same workouts every week." The primary objective of the exercise inventory is to provide a database of a wide variety of exercises to educate the athlete. 2) Program Design: This feature has two different aspects that pertains to: Be Your Own Strength Coach and Follow Our Program Design. The first, allows you to select exercises from our exercise inventory to create your own workouts. The second, provides you the ability to follow one of our approved strength coaches program designs. 3) Community: The goal of this feature is to be able to share your work in the weight room or gym with your friends! Additionally, you can communicate with our approved strength coaches and choose to work one on one with them. When you choose to work with a strength coach they can specify your program for you and you can access that right on your own profile! Through these three prongs we want to Xelerate the performance of every athlete every day!

Sovon is an iPhone-first fitness activity logger built for one job: capture what you just finished, fast. Log in seconds with Quick Capture, manual entry, Apple Health import, or Siri, even from a locked screen. Whether you type a quick note or speak naturally, Sovon keeps logging fast and low friction so you can move on. From the Today screen, you can log strength, cardio, recovery, and vitals, or import workouts, sleep, and supported metrics from Apple Health. Stats gives you clear, locally generated charts, activity history, and personal records to track your progress over time. Sovon is built to be private and reliable. Your data stays on device, core features work offline, and no account is required. Quick Capture uses on-device Apple Intelligence when available, with manual entry always ready as a fallback. In Settings, you can control chart visibility, manage your local history, and export your data as a simple CSV to use in other tools like ChatGPT for deeper analysis. Sovon also includes an Apple Watch companion for fast logging on the go, with syncing back to your iPhone when available. If you want a fast, private, and focused way to log your fitness activity right after you finish, Sovon is built for that.
