Pulse — AI Fitness Coach
Pulse is an AI-powered fitness coaching web app built on peer-reviewed sports science. It tracks workouts, nutrition, sleep, stress, mobility, and recovery — and uses a personalized AI coach that learns your history, goals, and preferences over time. Pulse is available at getpulsehi.com with Premium ($9.99/month) and Coach ($19.99/month) subscription tiers.
What Pulse does
- Adaptive AI coaching that keeps training, nutrition, and recovery in sync from your full history.
- Personalized training that builds and auto-adjusts workouts, autoregulated by RPE with progressive overload by estimated 1-rep max, plus warm-ups and deloads.
- Calorie and macro tracking — protein, carbs, and fat plus fiber — set from your body, with meal logging by label scan, photo, or natural-language chat with the coach.
- Micronutrient and supplement tracking (Vitamin D, Omega-3, Magnesium, creatine), food-first.
- Recovery and fatigue engine using sleep, soreness, stress, and training load to time recovery days and deloads.
- Cardio, activity, and GPS tracking classified by MET value for accurate calories and daily movement.
- Body composition and goal-aware progress photos reviewed by the coach.
Built on peer-reviewed science
- Classifies activities by MET value from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities (walks as NEAT vs structured training).
- Tracks Vitamin D, Omega-3, and Magnesium from logged meals, with supplement suggestions only when food intake is below threshold.
- Autoregulates training load with RPE/RIR rather than fixed percentages (Zourdos et al. 2016).
- Fatigue-first deload timing with a training-age time ceiling (Bell 2025 review; Coleman/Helms 2024 RCT).
- Evidence-based stretching dose: ~3 min/muscle/session, ~8 min/muscle/week (University of South Australia 2024, 189 studies).
- Nap guidance timed to the 1–3pm circadian dip, 20-min vs 90-min (Romdhani 2020; Boukhris 2024).
- Alcohol counted at 7 cal/g and flagged for ~37% post-exercise MPS suppression (Parr et al.).
- Requires bodyweight before showing calorie/macro targets — prompts for missing data instead of guessing.
