A real personal-trainer experience in your pocket. Most apps just log what you did. dynaimic plans what you should do next, around your goals, your recovery and how your last session actually felt. TWO WAYS TO TRAIN • Your coach builds today's session (Pro). Tap once for a complete workout (warm-up, working sets, optional cardio and cool-down) planned around your goals, equipment, experience, split and which muscles have recovered. • Pick a plan and follow it. Choose from 55+ plans with picks for you, build your own routine, or have your coach build a program that changes block by block. "Up now" always shows the day you're on, ready in one tap. Training off a plan someone else wrote? With Pro, paste it in and it becomes a routine: days, sets, reps and rest. STACK: TRACK YOUR SUPPLEMENTS Your supplements, one tap per dose. Creatine, protein, vitamins, electrolytes, grouped by when you take them, with a streak and a 12-week consistency grid for each one. Search the library or add anything you track yourself: name it, set the dose and the schedule. Everything you log stays yours. It never turns up in a coach message or a leaderboard. dynaimic records what you enter; it doesn't dose or advise. WHAT MAKES DYNAIMIC DIFFERENT • It listens after every session. Rate each workout (too easy, just right or crushed me). With Pro, your coach proposes the next step for load, volume and exercise choice. You decide. • Pick your coach. 29 coach personalities, each planning and talking to you in their own voice. • Real progression. Your lifts go up once you have earned them. When a lift stalls, your coach spots it and suggests a change. • Honest numbers. Band exercises record the band you used instead of a made-up weight, and every weight shows in kg or lb. • Stay hooked. Earn XP, climb the seasonal ranks, take on daily challenges and chase achievements.
