Foundry Strength

Trained for the body. Anchored in faith. Foundry is a strength coach in your pocket. It builds you a 3-week training block from what you tell it — your goal, your equipment, your schedule, what hurts — and then it does the work with you, session by session. A PLAN THAT CHANGES WHEN YOUR DAY DOES Most apps give you the same workout whether you slept eight hours or two. Foundry doesn't. Short on time, sore, travelling with no gym? Tell the coach before you start and today gets reshaped, not skipped. A SESSION, START TO FINISH Tap Start Session and take it one movement at a time: sets, reps, RPE, tempo, rest and your training max on the card. Log a set with one tap. Hit a PR and Foundry calls it right there. Finish, say how it went — too easy, too brutal, just right — and tomorrow gets tuned off your answer. A COACH THAT KNOWS YOU Ask anything, any time. The coach has your plan, your logs and your history, so the answer is about you, not a generic article. When the block ends, one tap builds the next one, picking the progression up right where this one left off — toward your race if you've got one on the calendar. ROOTED IN SOMETHING DEEPER Every training day opens with a short devotional and a passage of scripture, read aloud if you want it. Faith is the foundation here, not a feature you switch on. WHATEVER YOU'RE TRAINING FOR Muscle, strength, Hyrox, everyday health, or your first week back after years off. Foundry meets you there. ALSO IN THE APP • Personal records tracked automatically, with a training max that moves with you • Run logging, with pace and mileage totals, for the days you're on the road • Progress: sessions, sets and load moved, week by week • Share cards for a finished session or the day's devotional • Reminders you turn on yourself, never at launch Foundry gives general fitness, nutrition and supplement guidance. It is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before starting or changing a program. Foundry is for adults 18 and over. Foundry Membership is an auto-renewing monthly subscription, $24.99 a month. It unlocks the coach: plan building, adjusting a day, the coach chat and devotional audio. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings under your Apple ID, Subscriptions.
