Aldo Coach Launches AI Workout Coaching for iPhone and the Web
Summary
Aldo Coach is an AI-powered training product from River Lentil LLC that creates and runs workout programs for users pursuing goals such as powerlifting, CrossFit, bodybuilding, conditioning, or general strength. It writes a periodized plan around a user’s goal, equipment, schedule, and preferred training style, and can use Apple Calendar events to account for trips, shifts, and appointments. During a session, the app responds beneath each logged set rather than requiring a separate chat: it interprets performance signals such as rep speed and RPE, then proposes changes to later loads or back-off sets for the user to accept or keep. It also supports conditioning formats including EMOMs, AMRAPs, circuits, and complexes with timers and result logging. Users can record pain scores, and Aldo tracks them alongside load, flags a user-defined ceiling, and proposes lighter work when the ceiling is crossed; changes are not applied automatically. The product stores editable memories about injuries, aggravating movements, working loads, equipment, preferences, personal records, and training history, and can import an existing spreadsheet or PDF log. It is available as an iPhone app and as a browser-based installable experience, with a free starting option and no card or trial clock according to the site. Aldo says it is not a doctor, physiotherapist, or medical device, does not diagnose or treat injuries, and may generate incorrect advice. The company also advises users to stop and seek help for serious symptoms and identifies River Lentil LLC as a single-member California company.
