Overview
Aldo Coach is an AI workout coach and training log for weight training. It creates a periodized program around a user's goals, equipment, schedule, and preferred way of training, then coaches each session set by set.
The service works on iPhone and in a browser. Its planning covers strength and physique goals as well as conditioning formats such as EMOMs, AMRAPs, circuits, and complexes.
Key Features
- Builds week-by-week programs for powerlifting, CrossFit, bodybuilding, conditioning, and general long-term training.
- Interprets logged effort and rep speed, then proposes load changes for later sets.
- Tracks pain scores and can suggest lighter work when a user-defined ceiling is crossed.
- Remembers injuries, personal records, equipment, working loads, and training preferences.
- Maintains lift histories with estimated one-rep maximum trends, rep records, and past sessions.
- Imports existing training logs from spreadsheets or PDF files.
Planning and Coaching
Users provide their goal, available equipment, and training preferences during onboarding. Aldo writes the program and can account for calendar events such as work trips, late shifts, or physiotherapy appointments when Apple Calendar is connected.
During a workout, feedback appears beneath the set that was just logged. Any proposed adjustment remains under the user's control through an explicit choice to apply it or keep the original plan. Rehab work can be programmed directly into the same session rather than tracked separately.
Safety and Cost
Aldo Coach is free, with no card requirement or trial clock stated. Users can read and edit the information the service remembers about them.
The product is not a doctor, physiotherapist, medical device, diagnosis tool, or substitute for a coach who can observe a lift. Its AI-generated coaching can be wrong, and exercise carries injury risk; urgent symptoms or sudden sharp injuries require appropriate professional help.
