Athlyst is an athlete operating system for people who train across strength, endurance, sport, and nutrition. BUILD SERIOUS STRENGTH Log every working set with load, reps, RIR, RPE, advanced set types, supersets, notes, rest timers, estimated one-rep max, PRs, tonnage, and workload. Build custom exercises, sessions, and multi-week programs, or add a coach program to your own library. FOLLOW THE PLAN Schedule training automatically, control the current program week, pause or resume a plan, use deload overrides, and keep the creator's original program intact while personalizing your own copy. TRACK RUNS AND RIDES Record GPS activities, moving and elapsed time, pace, speed, elevation, splits, routes, segments, and challenges. Review completed activity maps and create shareable route cards. FUEL THE WORK Track calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, water, saved meals, food database entries, and barcode foods. Meal-photo estimates are editable so you remain in control of the log. UNDERSTAND PROGRESS Connect training, readiness, body metrics, nutrition, and endurance history in one analysis system. Review weekly workload, muscle volume, estimated strength, adherence, and trend data. TRAIN WITH YOUR PEOPLE Create private crews, share selected sessions, follow coach programs, and publish or add community workouts, meal plans, routes, and complete plans. BUILT AROUND YOUR DATA Core logging works locally without an account. Optional account backup and community features are available when you choose to use them. HealthKit access, notifications, camera, photos, and location are permission-based. Athlyst is a fitness logging and planning tool, not medical care. GPS, calorie, macro, readiness, estimated one-rep max, and AI meal values are estimates and remain editable. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

PLAN IT Answer a few questions about your weight, goal, and race format (ultra, road, or backyard). FuelPlan builds carb, fluid, and sodium targets based on modern endurance fueling guidance. Add the organizer GPX, then place aid stations and drop bags directly on the course profile. PACK WHAT YOU OWN Track your gels, mixes, and bars in My Fuel. FuelPlan builds your kit from your real inventory, including flask-capped drink mix, and automatically deducts what you use after the race. Missing a product? Add it. RACE IT LIVE On race day, your plan becomes a live screen: what to take now, what’s next, where the next aid station is, and what to do there. Reminders keep firing even with your phone locked in your vest. Afterward, compare planned intake with what you actually got down.
