Tell it your goal, your level, the days you can train and the exercises you like: it builds your sessions, adapts them as you progress, and stays with you between workouts. A COACH THAT KNOWS YOU - Ask in your own words: "build me a leg day for tomorrow", "I only have 30 minutes", "what should I eat tonight?" - Workouts created automatically from your goals, your training days, your equipment and your favorite exercises - Nothing changes without you: you approve every session before it goes into your log - Your working weights adjusted from what you really lifted TRAIN, LOG, PROGRESS - A clean workout log: sets, reps, weights in kg or lb, personal records, history and calendar - Gym or street workout, with a rest timer that follows your session - Trained without the app? Tell Stance in one tap and your week stays up to date RECOVERY AND NUTRITION - Live Recovery: see which muscles are ready, recovering or still fatigued before you train - Meals created with your coach from your targets and your tastes - Calories, macros and a food diary, synced with Apple Health GO FURTHER WITH ELITE - Your coach steps in when a lift stalls and suggests an adjustment - Sleep quality taken into account on iPhone: lighter loads offered after a short night - Advice the day before your session: your last performance and tomorrow's target - Auto-Pilot: your next session's load set from the effort of your last set, and your rest adjusted after every set TRAIN TOGETHER - Crew: private groups, chat, challenges and leaderboards with your training partners PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your health data is shared with the coach only if you allow it: it is sent encrypted to the AI service and kept for 30 days at most.
