About

Lyfto

Lyfto remembers your training so you don't have to. Log every set in seconds with pre-filled targets, a live rest timer, plate math and warm-up sets built for you. Then watch it pay off: a Strength Score across your big lifts, per-muscle progress, tier badges from Novice to World Class and PRs tracked automatically. The difference is the coach. Lyfto's AI coach has read your entire history. Ask "what should I lift today?", "why is my bench stuck?" or "build me a program" and get answers built on your own numbers, including how hard every set felt. • Fast set logger with warm-ups, supersets and rest timer • AI coach that knows your workouts, PRs, effort and body data • Strength Score, per-muscle breakdown and PR predictions • Adaptive programs (PPL, Upper/Lower, Full Body, or your own) • 498 exercises with how-to guides • Weekly leagues, groups, a social feed and direct messages • Bring your history from Strong, Hevy or Fitbod • Apple Watch and Health: log sets and track heart rate on your wrist LYFTO PRO Logging, history, progress and the social features cost nothing. Lyfto Pro adds unlimited coach messages, the Smart model, the AI program builder, detailed stats and PR predictions, 50 progress photos, a weekly coach report and a Pro badge. Lyfto Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
