Max is your personal trainer. He gets to know you, writes every workout for you, changes it when you need, and counts your food from a photo. You do the work. He makes sure it takes you somewhere. YOUR PERSONAL TRAINER Your goal, your body, your days, what you've done before. Max asks, listens, looks at what you show him, and builds his read of you from there. Then he writes your plan: what you train, how, and why. EVERY WORKOUT, WRITTEN FOR YOU From your goal, your days and your last sets: every set, every weight, every rest. Nothing copied from someone else. Many movements show a short moving figure with the working muscle lit, and his words on how to do it. LIVE, SET BY SET Start your workout and your phone becomes the set you're on: the movement playing, your reps and weight, the rest counted down, what comes next. ASK HIM, HE CHANGES IT Machine taken? Something hurts? Too heavy, too easy? Tell him from your workout. He answers, shows you the new movement, and puts it on your card with one tap. STRONGER, WEEK AFTER WEEK Your progress shows where you stand: your workouts kept, your lifts climbing, and his read of where you are and what comes next. YOUR PLATE, COUNTED Send him a photo of your meal, or a few words. He reads it, estimates it, and your day is counted against a food plan built around your training and your goal. ON YOUR WRIST Max is on your Apple Watch: your set, your reps, your weight, your heart. Tick the set from your wrist. Your phone can stay in the bag. TELL HIM HOW IT WENT After the workout, rate it, note the weights you changed, say a word on a movement. He reads all of it, and your next workout is written from it. ASK HIM ANYTHING A run on Saturday, a week away, a knee that talks back. He knows your plan, your body and your goal, and answers like it. Max is an AI coach, not a doctor. For pain, injury or a medical condition, see a professional. With Max starts with 7 free days, then a monthly or yearly subscription that renews automatically. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ · Privacy: https://therealmax.ai/privacy

payFit puts your own money behind the promise you keep breaking. You decide what a skipped day costs. You fund that amount up front. Every day you train, you take a photo — that clears the day and the money stays yours. Miss one, and it comes out of your balance. That's the whole product. No coach, no streak confetti, no leaderboard of strangers. HOW A DAY IS CLEARED Take a photo. At the gym, on the trail, in your front room — whatever you're doing. Nobody reviews it. You chose to put your own money up, so there is nobody to fool but yourself. Forgot to check in? Check in the next morning and the money comes straight back to your balance. THE MONEY IS YOURS You fund a balance in advance rather than handing over a card and hoping. A missed day comes out of that balance — so there is no surprise charge, nothing to decline, and nothing to dispute. Whatever is left is yours. Withdraw it at any time and it goes back to the card that funded it. WHAT IT NEVER DOES • Your check-in photos never leave your phone. Not uploaded, not reviewed, not added to your camera roll, and kept out of iCloud backups. • Nothing about a workout is ever sent anywhere. What payFit does report — how the app is used, never what you did in it — is spelled out in the privacy policy. • If you connect Apple Health, payFit reads workouts and nothing else. No heart rate, no steps, no sleep, no weight. • Nothing before the day you arm your stake can ever be charged. PAYFIT PRO — $10/MONTH • Days clear themselves. An Apple Watch or Health workout counts on its own, so the daily photo becomes optional. • Stake as little as $1 a day. Free starts at $5. • Earn a day back. Clear 7 days in a row and one missed day is returned to your balance. Free works on its own, forever. Pro is for people who want the chore gone.
