the plan.
Fitness that fits your life — not the other way around.
Coax is a gentle-nudge workout app that helps you reach your fitness goals without making fitness one more thing to stress about. Your AI coach, Hiro, meets you where you are each day — your time, your energy, your gear, and what your body's up for — and shapes the session to fit.
Coax is in beta — we're just getting started.
Meets you where you are
Low on time or energy today? A quick check-in shapes today's session to fit — even if that's 12 minutes. Wiped? It'll offer an easy recovery session instead.
Built around your body
Tell it what to work around — dodgy knee, cranky shoulder — and it plans around it. It matches your experience, and there's a low-impact mode for quiet, joint-friendly days.
Uses the gear you've got
Bodyweight, bands, dumbbells, a kettlebell, a bench, a pull-up bar, or a full barbell — you'll only get moves you can actually do.
Gets to know you
Your coach, Hiro, learns what felt easy, hard, or off on each move and tunes the next one — steady, gentle progress, no spreadsheets to keep.
Adapts on the spot
Swap a move, tell Hiro to go easier, or pull a fresh set — every session comes with a warm-up and cool-down built in.
Always in your corner
A forgiving weekly rhythm, permission to take a lighter week, and warm nudges — no streak-shaming, no pressure.

Exercise isn't a punishment for what you ate
A review of 24 studies found that how a workout feels while you're doing it predicts whether you'll keep training — and that feeling good afterwards doesn't. Which makes 'earn it' advice worse than useless.
You don't need equipment. You need a floor and ten minutes.
Bodyweight training isn't the beginner version of real training. A meta-analysis of 21 studies found muscle growth is similar across loads when the effort is there — here's what a no-equipment workout can and can't do.
How often should you actually work out?
The honest answer is smaller than the internet implies. A meta-analysis of 16 cohort studies found the biggest health return from strength training arrives at 30–60 minutes a week — and then flattens.
Questions, answered
The short version of what Coax is and how it works.
What is Coax?
Coax is a gentle-nudge workout app. Each day it builds a session around your available time, energy, equipment, and how your body feels — as short as 12 minutes — so fitness fits your life instead of the other way around.
Is Coax free?
Coax is in beta and free to start — no card at signup, and a demo you can try with no account at all. As a free workout app it gives you the real product: a daily check-in that sizes each session to your time and energy, bodyweight-only sessions if you have no equipment, and a coach that adapts as you give it feedback.
Do I need any equipment?
No. Coax works with just your bodyweight, or with whatever you have — bands, dumbbells, a kettlebell, a bench, a pull-up bar, or a full barbell — and only gives you moves you can actually do.
Is Coax good for beginners?
Yes. It matches your experience level, plans around injuries or a cranky joint, and has a low-impact mode for gentler, joint-friendly days.
How is Coax different from other fitness apps?
It's built to reduce stress, not add it. A quick daily check-in sizes the session to how you actually feel, and there's no streak-shaming, guilt, or comparison — the goal is showing up, not being perfect.
How long are the workouts?
As long or short as your day allows. If you've only got 12 minutes or low energy, Coax sizes the session to fit — and offers an easy recovery session when you're wiped.
Fitness that fits your life.
Not the other way around. Start with one session — as short as you need.
