**I built an AI fitness coach app and need 10 beta testers**

Hi everyone. I'm a solo founder and I've spent the last few weeks building an app called APEX — basically an AI personal trainer you can talk to anytime.

Here's what it does:

* Creates personalised workout plans that adapt every single day based on how you feel (energy level, soreness, sleep quality)
* Tracks your macros with photo-based AI (no manual logging, just take a photo of your meal and it estimates everything)
* Daily 30-second check-in where you tell your coach how you're feeling and get a specific plan for that day
* Tracks body stats, workouts, everything syncs

I need 10 serious beta testers to use it for 2 weeks before I launch on the App Store. In exchange, you get free lifetime Pro access (worth £9.99/month) and your feedback directly shapes what I build next.

What I'm asking: Use it for 2 weeks, fill out a quick feedback form on day 7, message me if anything's broken.

Who I'm looking for: People who actually track fitness. If you use MyFitnessPal, go to the gym regularly, or care about your progress, this is for you.

Interested? Comment and I'll DM you the link. *i am looking for feed back please here is my app link :* [*https://spiritual-apex-fitness-core.base44.app\*\](https://spiritual-apex-fitness-core.base44.app)

Hey team, is there an API to access the workout data, or is it in the roadmap? I saw a post from 6 years ago. I want to integrate it on vitaltrends, and right now we only have hevy, would be awesome to also add strong! :)

Hey r/running!
I started running at the beginning of December 2025, so I’m about 5 months in. I run on urban asphalt . No races planned yet, but my goal is to run a decent 10K by end of summer.
Here are my most recent runs:
• Mar 28 — 5.45 km @ 5:35/km
• Mar 30 — 7.73 km @ 5:28/km (PR on the mile that day!)
• Apr 2 — 7.05 km @ 5:58/km (tried to keep it zone 2)
• Apr 9 — 4.74 km @ 6:09/km
• Apr 11 — 6.24 km @ 5:44/km
• Apr 17 — 5.90 km @ 5:55/km
• Apr 25 — 8.74 km @ 5:59/km
• May 4 — 6.73 km @ 6:28/km
• May 6 — 7.43 km @ 6:21/km
• May 8 — 7.01 km @ 6:15/km
• May 12 — 9.56 km @ 6:06/km (longest run so far!)

My pace varies quite a bit — anywhere from 5:28 to 6:28/km — depending on whether I’m pushing or trying to stay easy. Distances are growing steadily, which feels encouraging.
My questions for you:

1.	Is this pace variability normal, or should I be more consistent?

2.	Should I be doing ALL my runs at easy/zone 2 pace at this stage, or is it okay to mix in faster efforts?

3.	Realistically, how long until I can run a solid 10K given these numbers?

4.	Is there anything in this data that concerns you or that you’d do differently?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I’m hesitating both app for a lifetime subscription and atm it’s a bit of a stalemate.

Hevy gots :

- Polished UI

- More exercices in the library with better guide

- A « heatmap » that tracks what muscle group lack training

- The always on display tracking

- More updates

- connection to health app

Strong has:

- A more straight to the point approach

- No social media bullsh*t

- Faster log in

it feels like Hevy got the upper hand, but I fear it’s a bit marketing or just a lack of knowledge on my part.

any thoughts ?

I’ve been using this app, the premium version, for almost three years now. I feel with each update the app gets better, with the exception of apple watch glitches/bugs. Every couple of weeks it seems either I can’t do live sync, my workouts don’t sync from watch, or during live sync my sets get marked unchecked.

Ik other apps allow for Strong data to be imported, so switching to say Liftin’ or hevy wouldn’t be “Starting over”. I just have a sense of loyalty to this app and all the exercise i’ve added to my database.

Has anyone else been having issues with syncing across devices? If you switched apps, how did the custom exercises track across?
