Founding Launch: Summer 2026
The operating system
for your gym
LiftCore runs your floor — members, bookings, billing — and its AI writes individualized training programs from the equipment you actually own. Every program is reviewed by your trainers before it reaches a member.

AI reasoning — “Biased volume to the posterior chain per the trainer chatline; kept knee loading moderate per member intake.”
Trainer approval requiredProgramming in mass
is the bottleneck
Hours
Per program, by hand
Trainers write individualized programs in spreadsheets, notes apps, and text threads. Inefficient tools for building them.
Uneven
Quality across the floor
Every trainer programs differently. There's no single style a member can keep when getting programs from one coach to the next.
Unreliable
Record of what happened
Everything is handwritten. There's no stored data to accurately record every stat of a member's workout.
Your methodology, written at machine speed.
Reviewed by humans.
It learns the style
The AI follows strict priorities, defined by you. Admin rules first, then instructions through the trainer chatbot, then your facility's exercise pool, then the member's own feedback and intake.
It writes structured, validated blocks
Every session is built on a fixed 36-minute skeleton — two supersets, two spikes, a finisher — so structure is correct by construction. The AI only fills the exercises, and a deterministic validator checks every pick before a trainer sees it.
A trainer reviews every draft
Nothing reaches a member without sign-off. Drafts land in the trainer inbox for edits and approval — the AI does the grunt work, your staff stays in control.
Assigned, tracked, and fed back
Approved programs are assigned in-app. Members' sets are logged in live sessions; personal records and progressive-overload targets carry into the next block automatically.
Priority hierarchy
Gym admin rules
house standards, non-negotiables
Trainer instructions
per-member notes via the trainer chatline
Your exercise pool
only movements your floor supports
Member feedback
intake, injuries, session history
Higher priorities always win when instructions conflict.
The AI only knows the floor you actually have
Generic AI programming prescribes machines you don't own. LiftCore's exercise library is seeded per facility — designed around a real 900-member gym's actual floor, down to its specific cable stations, machine inventory, and dumbbell ranges. Your members are never handed a program your gym can't run.
- Exercise pool mapped to your equipment during onboarding — nothing prescribed that isn't on your floor
- Injury-aware substitutions drawn from your own approved alternatives
- Admin-tunable generation rules, so the output sounds like your house programming

Excluded
Excluded equipment never appears in a generated program — the model can't prescribe what the library doesn't contain.
Everything else a gym runs on, in one place
Built around trainers' actual workflow — not a generic CRM with fitness paint. One platform; each gym gets its own isolated environment.
Bookings & waitlists
Capacity-managed session slots with automatic trainer assignment, recurring bookings, and waitlists that promote members automatically.
Live session tracking
Set-by-set logging on the floor, personal records, and progressive-overload targets that pre-fill the next session's working weights.
Kiosk & TV display
A shared-iPad kiosk with trainer PINs for the front desk, and a TV board that rolls to the next session as the floor turns over.
Memberships & billing
Stripe-powered plans and tiers: online checkout, automatic renewals, a self-serve billing portal, and payouts straight to the gym's bank.
Member 360
Profiles with medical conditions, injury history, goals, notes, referrals, and a full membership timeline — context your trainers can act on.
Roles & accountability
Owner, admin, trainer, and member roles with scoped permissions, notifications, and an audit trail of what changed and who changed it.
The pilot starts this summer.
A few gyms get in first.
LiftCore is pre-launch: the flagship is built and functional, and our first pilot facility onboards this summer. We're opening a small number of founding spots for independent and boutique gyms — 200 to 2,000 members — that want to shape what this becomes. It's limited because a pilot has to be: every founding gym gets real attention.
Become a founding gymNo public pricing — founding terms are set gym by gym.
White-glove onboarding
We map your floor and seed your exercise library with you — equipment, alternatives, house rules.
Direct input on the roadmap
Founding gyms talk straight to the people building the product, and what you need gets built next.
Founding pricing, locked
Early terms that stay yours as the platform grows past the pilot.
