SwoleX is the workout app built for lifters who actually show up. Log your training, share it to your feed, and watch others hit your exact routine — with weights automatically scaled to their own history. That's the SwoleX loop: post a workout, someone taps DO WORKOUT, and they're training your program in seconds. TRACK EVERY LIFT Log sets, reps, and weight with a clean, fast interface built for use between sets — not after the gym. Your history builds automatically into a personal performance record with streaks, PRs, and volume charts. EAT LIKE YOU TRAIN Log food in seconds — search the food library or pull from your saved My Foods. Pick a diet style — Balanced, High Protein, Keto, Low Carb, Mediterranean, Endurance, or Zone — add your goal and activity level, and SwoleX sets your daily calorie and macro targets for you. Pro adds barcode scanning and describe-a-meal AI that breaks down the macros for you. MEAL PLANS BUILT AROUND YOUR MACROS Tell Kevin your diet style and the foods you actually eat, choose which meals to plan — even just dinner — and get a multi-day plan with a grocery list in real shopping quantities: a dozen eggs, a pint of berries, 3.5 lb of chicken. Adjust any portion, then log a single item, a whole meal, or the whole day. Export any plan as a clean PDF to print or share. TRAIN WITH KEVIN — YOUR AI STRENGTH COACH Tap TRAIN WITH KEVIN and he assembles a session tailored to your training history, goals, and how you're feeling that day. Every set is pre-scaled to your actual strength — no guessing, no math. ASK KEVIN — AND GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER Kevin reads your log, so ask him about it. "Why has my incline bench gone backwards?" He checks your real sets, your weekly volume and your gym's equipment, then answers with the numbers in front of him — and if the fix is a whole day, he builds it on the spot. DO WORKOUTS FROM THE FEED Every post in SwoleX is executable. See a chest day you like? Tap DO WORKOUT and run it yourself — weights automatically adjust to your level. Your results link back to the original, giving the creator credit and building their following. LIFT TOGETHER, LIVE Training with someone? Start a live session and invite them. You each run the same workout with weights scaled to your own strength, so you're on the same exercise without lifting the same numbers. Watch each other's sets land live, and finish on a shared recap crediting everyone. PROGRAMS & PREMIUM CONTENT Browse structured programs from coaches and top creators. Follow a 5-day split, an 8-week strength block, or a conditioning circuit — and execute every session directly from the app. SHARE YOUR WINS Auto-generated share cards let you blast your completed workouts to Instagram Stories, TikTok, and Snapchat.
