Breathwork on a mat isn't enough
Most routines ask you to sit still and breathe. That falls apart the second your heart rate spikes under a heavy bar or on a steep climb.
For endurance and strength athletes: Train your breath like you train your body.
Real breathwork training for athletes means programming it under load. Your AI coach builds a five-day schedule of nasal-strength lifting, CO2-tolerance ladders, and cold exposure, adjusted to your daily recovery.

You: I felt dizzy after my last breath session, and my sleep has been terrible for three days.
Your coach: Then no training today: dizziness is a stop sign, so rest and get checked by your doctor before your next session. I haven't changed your plan; we pick it back up once you're cleared.

The problem
Why standard breathing apps fall short
02
Unregulated intensity
Generic routines jump straight into cyclic hyperventilation or long breath-holds. Here holds stop at light air hunger, and rounds are only for people who pass the pre-session screen.
03
Random cold exposure
Plunging into ice water without a protocol is a shock, not a skill. Unplanned cold work interferes with your digestion and your main training schedule.
The method
How your coach builds your breath control
01
Nasal strength under load
The plan pairs squats, rows, and carries with strict nasal breathing so you learn to maintain form when air hunger hits.
RuleLoad rises only when a whole session stays nasal.
02
Forced recovery breaks
Pushing breath holds daily leads to central fatigue. Your coach schedules a lighter week when your system needs a break.
RuleDeloads trigger every four weeks or if sleep gets disrupted.
03
The Monday BOLT test
You need a baseline to know if your breath control is improving. The plan tests your BOLT score on Monday and again on Sunday, so you can log both and compare.
RuleTests your breath hold time every Monday to track progress.
04
Timed nutrition windows
Eating a heavy meal before breath work or a cold plunge is uncomfortable and counterproductive to your training.
RulePrograms four meals a day around your fasted morning breathwork.
Your week

Built to adapt
A plan that moves when your week does.
It reads your recovery
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect. When sleep, HRV or resting heart rate say you are under-recovered, today's session gets lighter. Planned deloads follow your coach's schedule, and you can ask for one in chat.
Chat that changes the plan
Travelling, sore, short on time, missed a meal: tell your coach at any hour. It rebuilds the week or re-portions the day, and confirms the change in chat.
Check-ins it acts on
Daily check-ins and progress photos go to your coach, and your plan is adjusted from what actually happened, not what was scheduled.

Questions
Straight answers.
Something else? Ask your coach in chat once you are in. It answers at any hour.
How long are the daily sessions?
Sessions run 12 to 45 minutes depending on the day's focus. Short on time? Ask your coach to shorten a session.
Do I need to be an advanced athlete to start?
No. The program starts with your current BOLT score and builds CO2 tolerance gradually. Anxious clients begin with calming tools like the physiological sigh rather than intense cyclic breathing.
What if I miss a meal before my breath practice?
The nutrition plan prefers you do breathwork on an empty stomach. If your schedule shifts, you can tell your coach in the chat to re-portion your four daily meals.
How does the coach know if I am overtraining?
The AI reads your daily steps, resting heart rate, and sleep from Apple Health or Health Connect, lightening the load if your recovery is low or fatigue stays high.
Are the cold exposure days mandatory?
No. The cold finish is opt-in. If you take it, it is a cold shower at least twenty minutes after the breathing rounds, and no breath-hold happens in or near water.
What do I get for free?
Your account is free — browse coaches, explore the app, and connect with a coach. Each AI coach is a monthly subscription (priced by coach); cancel anytime in a tap.
Is this a real coach or an AI?
It's an AI coach built on a real training methodology for this exact niche. It writes your plans, adjusts them from your check-ins and progress, and answers questions any time — no waiting for office hours.
What if it doesn't fit my situation?
Your plan is built from YOUR intake — goals, schedule, equipment, injuries, preferences. If something doesn't fit, tell your coach in chat and it adjusts. And you can cancel any subscription anytime.
