Ægir Iron is a training platform built for strength training, now in nine languages. The iPhone app and the full web app share one account, so a set you log on your phone is on your iPad and the web instantly. Every individual lifter gets logging, programming, analytics and records free, with no time limit and no card. Complete logging Quick set entry, RPE, percentage of rep-max, and per-set notes. Bands log by color at your own brand's tensions, and cluster sets and EMOMs are PR-tracked. Bodyweight and a sleep-derived readiness score pre-fill when Apple Health is on. A rest timer runs on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with widgets and an Apple Watch app. Programming you shape before you run it The Program Wizard assembles a full multi-week plan from your goal, your schedule, and your equipment, or starts you on one of over 70 programs, including GZCLP, 5/3/1, nSuns, and Power Matrix. Before it runs you see which muscles the plan trains, adjust every set, rep, RPE, band, cluster, and AMRAP, and pick a muscle to emphasize. Drive any movement by RPE, by percentage of training max, or by rep-range double progression, and training maxes advance from your logged results. Edit one day later and apply it across the block or the whole cycle. Built for all strength styles Carries, sleds, yokes, and holds are logged the way they are contested, by distance or time, not forced into sets and reps. Nearly 1,000 exercises span powerlifting, weightlifting, strongman, calisthenics skill ladders, plyometrics, and mobility, each with target muscles and cues. The meet planner handles powerlifting, weightlifting, and strongman with attempt and warmup selection and automatic scoring (Wilks, DOTS, IPF GL, Sinclair). Past and completed meets plot on one performance chart. Analytics that tell you what to do next Workload (ACWR) with a coupled EWMA smoothed ratio, broken out by movement pattern: squat, hinge, push, and pull. The same read by muscle, with an anatomical Body Map you can step back week by week, showing recovery and volume against target. A synthesizer explains what is going well and what to watch. Plateau Watch flags stalled lifts. Everything exports to spreadsheet or image, and sessions share to Strava with a muscle map. Personal records for weight, time, and distance PRs are awarded automatically across every rep range from 1 to 20, plus timed holds, carry distances, and unweighted rep records. Implied records update related lifts when a heavier effort makes them true. Two helpers, one crew Captain Ægir answers questions about the app and about training, free, and finds a lift by whatever you call it. The optional Ægir Assistant Coach, a paid add-on, goes further: ask in plain language and get answers grounded in your own results, analytics, and current program, then log workouts, build programs, update maxes, and record meets by typing. A terminology glossary covers twelve languages, and exercise search matches the words you use. Coaching on the same account Connect athletes with one invite link and monitor recovery, workload, and readiness across the roster. Push a program to many athletes at once, each with their own starting maxes. Pricing Every individual lifter, self-coached or on a coach's roster, uses logging, programming, analytics and records free. Coaching tools (roster management, custom branding, program assignment) are an auto-renewable subscription from $3.99 to $49.99 per month by roster size, each starting with a 30-day free trial. The Ægir Assistant Coach is an optional auto-renewable subscription at $4.99 (Basic) or $9.99 (Pro) per month. Prices are in US dollars; the App Store shows the price in your currency. Subscriptions renew automatically at the price shown unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed or cancelled anytime in iPhone Settings under Subscriptions.
