What is EvolveAI?
EvolveAI is an adaptive strength training and nutrition coaching app that uses an AI-powered Expert System to create personalized workout plans for powerlifters and strength athletes. The app combines advanced artificial intelligence with input from industry-leading coaches, world-class athletes, and cutting-edge researchers to deliver evidence-based training that adjusts in real-time based on user feedback and readiness scores.
Key features include adaptive programming with variable training doses, reactive deloads when needed, tailored warmup weights with perfect bar loads, SOS deload calls, meet prep with adaptive training length and performance tapers, advanced analytics for tracking volume/intensity/stress/sleep/mood, nutrition tracking with unique profiles and barcode scanning, goal setting and tracking, FineTune adjustments, and the ability to add extra sets during workouts. The Genesis engine generates programs using latest logic from researchers Zac Robinson PhD and Josh Pelland PhD-C.
EvolveAI is designed for powerlifters, strength athletes, and anyone pursuing hypertrophy or strength goals. It accommodates all experience levels from beginners to elite competitors, adjusting for training history, experience level, recovery, weaknesses, and preferred frequency. The app serves users who want professional coaching at a fraction of the cost of 1-1 coaching while keeping all training, nutrition, and sports psychology in one place.

What is the Genesis engine and how does it work?
The Genesis engine is EvolveAI's updated Expert System that generates training programs using the latest logic developed by researchers Zac Robinson, PhD, and Josh Pelland, PhD-C. It adjusts for your training history, experience level, recovery, weaknesses, and preferred frequency to build a personalized plan across work capacity, hypertrophy, strength, and peaking phases.

How do reactive deloads work in EvolveAI?
Reactive deloads are automatically called by the system when you need them based on your readiness scores and feedback. You can also call SOS on yourself as needed for additional deload support when feeling overwhelmed or fatigued.
Can I use EvolveAI if I don't have a meet date planned?
Yes, if you don't have a meet date planned you can choose a test stage to test your strength. This allows the app to plan out your program based on that date instead of an actual competition.
What equipment do I need to use EvolveAI?

What analytics does EvolveAI track?
EvolveAI provides advanced analytics on every individual exercise and the program as whole, including training volume, intensity, distribution of lifts (percentage from squat/bench related exercises), stress index, sleep quality, mood, and how these factors tie together based on your individual feedback.
