01
Too much weight too soon
Most plans tell you to throw on a heavy vest on day one. Your coach builds load starting at 5 percent of your bodyweight, using posture as the gate to progress.
For walkers and calisthenics athletes: Load your walks the way your spine adapts.
A weighted vest training program built on percent-of-bodyweight load and strict spine rules. Your coach programs two vest walks at 5 percent of your bodyweight and two unloaded strength days, with your clinician's clearance.

You: Lower back is tight after yesterday's vest walk. Can you swap today's session for something easier?
Your coach: Done. Today is your unloaded walk day: 20 brisk minutes without the vest. Any back discomfort means the next session goes unloaded too.

The problem
Why generic vest plans fail
02
Vesting every single day
Wearing a vest for all your daily activities overworks your shoulders and spine. This plan programs two vest walks and two unloaded strength days to manage training fatigue.
03
Ignoring the recovery fuel
Adding a vest increases the demand on your body. Generic routines skip food, but your coach programs four meals a day with a daily protein target scaled to your bodyweight.
The method
How your coach builds the plan
01
Measured progression
Your vest walks start at 5 percent of your bodyweight, and the vest joins push-ups, squats and step-ups only from week four.
RuleAdd one to two percent only when posture holds all session.
02
Mandatory recovery weeks
Training fatigue accumulates when you add load to your walks.
RuleDrops the volume every four weeks or when posture degrades
03
Fuel for loaded movement
The nutrition plan matches your training load to support recovery.
RulePrograms four meals a day with protein and calcium-rich foods
04
Strict movement standards
The coach programs specific cues to protect your mechanics under load.
RuleNo loaded flexion and no jumps above 10 percent bodyweight

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 training sessions?
Your coach programs sessions up to 45 minutes long. You get two vest walks and two strength days a week, and you will not wear the vest on consecutive days.
Do I need to buy a specific vest?
You need a vest that adjusts in small steps. You start at 5 percent of your bodyweight and add one to two percent only when your posture holds for a whole session.
Do I need to buy calcium supplements?
The coach programs a daily protein target scaled to your bodyweight and a calcium-rich food at every meal. It focuses on whole foods like dairy and leafy greens, not supplement doses.
Is this appropriate if I have a history of back issues?
You need your clinician's clearance before starting. The coach uses posture as the gate to progress, programming no loaded flexion and monitoring back comfort to adjust the load.
What if I sleep poorly before a loaded walk?
The app reads your sleep data from Apple Health or Health Connect. If your sleep quality is low, the coach automatically makes today's session lighter to match your recovery.
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.
