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.
