Real training. Real coaching.
Never on autopilot.
A strength-training app whose AI coach, Coach Steele, can build your entire program from scratch — your goal, equipment, schedule, even injuries — and keeps adapting it to your real performance. Built for serious lifters, welcoming to everyone else.
Built on serious training, not a generic template
Curated workout templates modeled on real bodybuilding training philosophies — approachable from day one, no matter where you're starting from.
Real program structure
Templates built on actual bodybuilding training methodology, personalized to your stats, equipment, and goals — hypertrophy, strength, cutting, bulking, or powerbuilding.
Grows with you
The same program logic that serves a competitive bodybuilder scales down cleanly for a beginner or casual lifter. Nothing assumes you already know what you're doing.
Built to travel with you
Native iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows apps, with templates cached locally so it keeps working mid-workout even on a bad signal.
Sign in your way
Google, Apple, or email — pick what's fastest for you, no password to remember if you don't want one.
Make any template yours
Not locked into the curated catalog — duplicate any template and tweak it exactly how you want: your days, your exercises, your sets and reps. Or let the AI Coach draft a complete custom routine for you from scratch.
AI with a leash
Not a black box that changes your program whenever it feels like it.
Builds your program from scratch
Tell it your goal, experience, equipment, schedule, even old injuries — Coach Steele generates a complete custom routine for you, not a template picked off a shelf.
Deterministic first
Day to day, rule-based progression handles the moment-to-moment adjustments offline — predictable, no surprises, no AI needed for the basics.
AI reviews, you decide
Periodically, the AI Coach reviews your actual training history — your PRs, your session data, how you're really performing — on curated templates and custom routines alike, and proposes a change with a plain-language reason.
Nothing moves without you
Every proposed change is just that — proposed. Iron & Anvil never touches your program until you say yes.
Real progress, not just a log
See the pattern, not just a wall of numbers.
Trend charts
Bodyweight, estimated one-rep max, and weekly training volume, charted over time — not just a table of past workouts.
PR timeline
A running, chronological feed of every personal record you've ever hit, across every exercise.
Training heatmap
A GitHub-style grid of your training consistency — see your patterns at a glance, not just individual sessions.
Apple Health sync
On iOS, completed workouts and bodyweight sync automatically to Apple Health — your training data, right alongside the rest of your health picture.
"This isn't a spreadsheet that doesn't know you missed a rep. It's not a black box making silent decisions. It's the structure of a real program, with a coach actually paying attention."
Your training, sharpened.
Iron & Anvil is in active development for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows.
