Features
Every shipped capability, mapped to the search you'd type to find it.
Train every muscle. See it on your body.
Ascend's anatomy heatmap colours every muscle by training volume across the last 7 days. Built on real anatomical paths — not a stock silhouette — so chest/back/leg balance is obvious at a glance.
Learn more →An AI coach that actually knows your training.
Most AI fitness apps generate a workout once. Ascend's coach reads your full log — every set, sleep, meal, soreness flag — and proposes the next move set-by-set. It autopilots if you want it to, and shuts up when you don't.
Learn more →Climb the tiers. Hold the line.
Ascend ranks each muscle by bodyweight-adjusted strength so a 60kg lifter and a 100kg lifter compete on a level field. Recruit → Climber → Summit → Apex, refreshed weekly, globally or friends-only.
Learn more →One subscription. Five climbers. Same mountain.
Ascend Club Family covers up to five linked accounts at NZ$19.99/mo. Each climber keeps a private log; the family layer adds shared meals, peak goals, and weekly challenges everyone competes in.
Learn more →Log sets without putting the bar down.
Ascend's mid-set voice button accepts natural commands — "100 by 8 RPE 8", "add a set", "start rest". Speech runs on-device for sub-200ms response and zero data leaving your phone.
Learn more →Train hard on green days. Back off on red.
Ascend reads your sleep, soreness flags, training load and streak into a transparent 0–100 readiness score and a front/back body map — so you know whether today is a push day or a recovery day. Works with or without a wearable.
Learn more →Point your camera. Get your macros.
Snap a photo and Ascend's vision model returns its best guess plus alternates and a confidence score — you confirm in a tap and it logs. No weighing, no endless database search.
Learn more →Film the set. Fix the form.
Upload a 6-second clip of a working set and Ascend returns two specific, actionable cues — "knee caving on the descent, sit wider" — so you fix technique before it costs you a PR or an injury.
Learn more →Find your strength tier. Climb from Recruit to Apex.
Every muscle gets ranked by bodyweight-adjusted strength, not raw kilos — so a 60kg lifter and a 100kg lifter compete on a level field. Recruit → Climber → Summit → Apex, per muscle, updated every week.
Learn more →A full year of training, in one glance.
Ascend renders every training day as a square on a 53-week grid — colour intensity scaled by how hard you went. It's the most honest, most shareable proof of consistency in fitness.
Learn more →Every Sunday, a recap worth sharing.
Ascend turns your week into a swipeable, branded story — volume moved, PRs, elevation gained — plus one-tap PR and before/after share cards. The Spotify-Wrapped moment for training, weekly instead of yearly.
Learn more →Six-character code. One crew. One mountain.
Text a 6-character code and your crew's in — no link wrangling. Crews share a weekly summit goal, cheer each other's PRs, nudge the quiet ones, and climb a shared mountain together.
Learn more →Miss a day. Keep the chain.
Any logged workout, meal or water entry keeps your streak alive. And when life gets in the way, a streak freeze protects your run — a forgiving streak built for real life, not a punishing all-or-nothing counter.
