Five voice-coached personas with hundreds of unique lines. Each one reacts to your lifts, your pace, your rest, and your excuses.
He's seen what you're capable of and he's personally offended you're not there yet. Demands greatness because he believes in it.
"SAY 'IT'S TOO HEAVY' ONE MORE TIME. I DARE YOU. I DOUBLE DARE YOU, MOTHERLIFTER!"
"DOES HE LOOK LIKE A WEAKLING?! THEN WHY ARE YOU LIFTING LIKE ONE?! PUT ANOTHER FIVE ON THE BAR!"
"ARE YOU GONNA SIT THERE SIPPING WATER ALL DAY, OR ARE WE GONNA DO SOME MOTHERLIFTING SQUATS?!"
"I'VE ELECTED TO OVERRIDE YOUR DECISION TO SKIP THE GYM. GET IN THE CAR."
Big guy, big weights, small attention span. Will lisp-yell at you to add plates, and somehow, you will.

"Hypertrophy threshold approaching. +5kg load increase required for continued mechanical tension."
"VO₂ max optimization protocols dictate a 5-second pace reduction. Execute immediately."
"Predictive modeling suggests your current load is sub-optimal. Recalibrating to +5kg."

Calm, poetic, unhurried. Turns every rep into a meditation and every mile into a lesson about letting go.
"The iron is a mirror. Today, reflect 5kg more of your true strength."
"Distance is an illusion. Pace is a meditation. Flow 5 seconds faster."
"Progress is a quiet river. Add 5kg and let the current carry you."
"Stillness builds strength. Honor your rest today so you may conquer tomorrow."
A cop who arrests weakness. Speaks in third person. Uses law enforcement metaphors exclusively.

"YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. YOUR MUSCLES DO NOT. ADD FIVE KILOS."
"OFFICER GAINS HAS ISSUED A WARRANT FOR FIVE MORE KILOS ON THAT BAR. COMPLY IMMEDIATELY."

AddFive reads your performance and decides when to push you, or pull back. You train, it handles the math.
Linear, double progression, percentage-based, variant progression, pace trend, round increase, and manual. The engine advances when you're ready and deloads when you're not.
Auto-deload built in
Visual plate calculator shows exactly which plates to load on each side. Smart warmup ramp-ups generated from your working sets. Supports kg and lb plates with standard or Olympic bar.
Per-side plate breakdown
Track distance, pace, and time runs with live GPS mapping. Real-time pace display and voice coaching that announces your splits without stopping your music.
Audio ducking
Tabata, EMOM, or custom intervals. Configurable work/rest phases with round tracking, voice countdowns, and automatic round-increase progression when you crush your targets.
Round increase progression
The app knows when you hit a personal record: heaviest lift, most reps at a weight, or total volume. Every PR flashes on screen and gets logged to your history. Share your progress chart as an image directly from the history tab.
Shareable progress cards
Lock screen and Dynamic Island show your current exercise, set count, rest timer, running stats, or HIIT phase, depending on what you're doing. No need to unlock.
Dynamic Island
Voice announcements for set completion, rest done, running pace, HIIT transitions, all with automatic music ducking so your playlist keeps playing underneath.
Music ducking
Every workout writes to HealthKit with full metadata: exercise names, set details, heart rate, route data, and calories. Your lifting data lives alongside your runs.
Full metadata
Auto-generates warmup sets ramping to your working weight: empty bar → 40% → 60% → 80% → working weight. Fully adjustable to your preference.
Customizable ramp
See exactly what you trained. Front and back body views color-code your workout volume by muscle group, with a set-count breakdown for every major muscle. Shareable as an image with your coach's take.
Front & back view
Four widgets keep your training front and center: Today's Workout, Weekly Progress Ring, Top Lifts with recent weight changes, and Coach Quote of the Day. All update automatically.
4 widgets
