Start free with the 7-Day Strength Challenge. Upgrade to Playbook for more programs, or apply for one-on-one coaching. Get strong. Stay strong. For the long game. Yardline is strength training built for busy people who are done with the hype — no 5am grind, no living in the gym, no quick-fix nonsense. Just genuinely stronger, in about 30 minutes a session, with a plan built around your real life. NEW: THE COMBINE Five fitness tests, one at a time. Yardline saves every result and, from your second Combine on, charts each test over time. YOUR PROGRESS IN ONE PLACE Overview, Body, Strength and Health tabs. Add progress photos with your weight and measurements, see a trend chart for every lift, and tap any day on a Health chart for its value. EAT OUT WITH A PLAN With a daily calorie target set, Eat out marks each pick Fits your day, Close match or Doesn't fit, and says why. WORKING WITH A COACH? Your coach's progress review opens right in the app, with its PDF in Coach › Shared with you. WHO IT'S FOR Capable, busy people who want to be strong, healthy, and able to keep up with their lives for decades. If you're tired of shred-in-6-weeks marketing and want something sustainable and honest, you're in the right place. WHAT YOU GET - 30-minute strength workouts. Efficient, progressive sessions you can actually fit in, plus short sessions for the busiest days. - Minimal equipment. Train at home with resistance bands and/or dumbbells and a bench or chair. No full gym required. - Real nutrition, not dieting. Log food in seconds — type it or say it — see calories, macros, fats, sugars, fiber and micronutrients, spot weekly and monthly trends, and know whether you're on track. - Video demos. Filmed demos of the movements, so you know the how and the why. - Follow-along workouts. Press play and train along with Coach Dylan, start to finish. - Apple Health. Connect once to bring in your steps, sleep, heart rate and workouts from your Apple Watch or apps like Strava. - Bring your history with you. Coming from another app? Import your training history from Strong or Hevy so your progress picks up where it left off. - Progress you can see. Track workouts, weigh-ins, and milestones over time. WHY YARDLINE IS DIFFERENT Evidence-first, not hype. Recommendations follow the research on getting stronger and staying that way, translated into plain, doable steps. Calm, direct, and built for consistency — because consistent beats perfect. MEET YOUR COACH Yardline was built by Dylan, a strength coach with a B.S. in Kinesiology and over 12 years in the industry. He also worked on an ambulance as an EMT, and it still shapes how he coaches: stay calm, focus on what matters, skip the theatrics. He'd rather build you something you can hold onto for years than sell you a six-week transformation. COACHING One-on-one coaching with a real human is a separate service and is not sold in the app. You can apply from inside the app. HOW TO START Start free — no commitment.

About

TrueLift

Features

■ TRAIN WITH A CLEAR DECISION TrueLift checks your performance based on your reps, load and RIR, compares it with your history, and decides when to add weight, how much to add, when to hold and when to ease off. Every recommendation includes the reason and adapts to the equipment you have available: plates, microloads or dumbbells. √ Automatic linear or double progression √ Strength and cardio logging with history and calendar √ Weekly volume and frequency per muscle group √ Tonnage, e1RM, personal records and monthly report √ Plate calculator, warm-up and rest timers √ Exercise substitution, backups and export ■ FULL AUTOREGULATION · PRO PRO adds a second layer of control to adapt progressive overload to your recovery: √ Fully configurable routine: sets, reps, RIR and rest times √ Sleep, stress, energy, discomfort, HRV and recent performance √ Guided or suggested deload when accumulated fatigue is detected √ Discomfort by area: your upper body doesn't hold back your lower body √ Downloadable routines, custom exercises and spreadsheet import HRV is optional (though useful), so if you don't have a compatible smartwatch, don't worry. If you don't measure it, TrueLift works with how you feel, your discomfort and your performance. ■ NUTRITION WITHOUT LOGGING MEALS · PRO Log your weight and TrueLift does the rest: it separates daily fluctuations from the trend, compares it with the rate you have chosen and assesses once a week whether anything should change. √ Plans cutting, maintenance and bulking phases in blocks √ Projects weight, body fat % and lean mass as estimates √ Suggests adjustments in grams of your own foods √ Offers daily steps as an alternative when appropriate √ Recommends protein without forcing you to keep a daily log √ Adapts rate ranges to your body fat % and experience √ Monitors performance during the diet and can suggest a refeed, a deload or a slower rate √ Lets you pause a phase without losing its history There is no food diary, barcode scanner or database for you to fill in. TrueLift doesn't try to guess what you eat: it corrects gradually based on the real response of your weight. However, you do need to know roughly what you eat each week so you can apply the changes TrueLift proposes on top of it. ■ AN EXPLAINABLE ALGORITHM Same inputs, same logic, same decision. TrueLift uses deterministic rules so you can understand why a load, a session or a recommendation changes. You always keep the final decision. ■ 16 SESSIONS TO TRY ALL OF PRO You get 16 sessions to try PRO with no email and no payment method on file. The trial doesn't generate any charges. Once the trial is used up, you go back to the free version with the base routines and the manual logging mode, where you can keep viewing all your metrics. After that you can choose a monthly subscription, an annual plan that doesn't renew automatically, or a one-time payment to keep PRO for life. ■ PRIVACY AND ZERO FRICTION • No ads • No sign-up or account • Training available offline • Training and nutrition history processed on your device • Pseudonymous, limited, opt-out product analytics: your history, loads, weight, HRV and nutrition data never leave your phone • Exportable backups whenever you want Weight, body fat and lean mass projections are rough estimates. TrueLift is a fitness tool and does not replace professional medical or nutritional advice.
