Every SisuLift feature
SisuLift is a Finnish AI workout app that builds a personalized training program, suggests the next weights for every exercise, tracks your recovery and includes over 4,000 exercises with videos. In total around 250 features covering training, nutrition, recovery and progress tracking. This page lists them by area. Every item here is a shipped, production feature, not a roadmap promise.
4.461 ratingsGrind, the AI coach
§ 01SisuLift has a built-in AI coach named Grind. It knows your full training history, recovery and goals, answers questions in Finnish and English around the clock, and designs programs. It never changes anything without your approval.
- Coach chat with data tools
Grind answers technique, nutrition and recovery questions and pulls real numbers from your own training history: personal records, volume and trends.
- AI Planner
Designs a complete program (split, exercises, sets, RPE targets) from your profile, goals and limitations. The result is a draft you accept or reject.
- AI Quick Workout
Generates a one-off workout in 15–30 seconds based on your recovery, muscle-group balance and available time.
- Post-workout debrief
After every session you get feedback: what went well and what to focus on next time.
- AI weekly analysis
A weekly plain-language report on your training and nutrition, not raw numbers in a table.
- Plateau analysis
Detects stalled lifts and suggests ways to break through.
- Coach personas
Five tones from calm to direct and unfiltered. The same app can be a gentle wellness coach or a no-excuses PT.
Programs and automatic periodization
§ 02SisuLift builds your training program and periodizes it automatically: a mesocycle runs from a base phase to an intensification block and a deload week without you needing to know what periodization means. Every change is a suggestion you accept or skip.
- Weekly progression per exercise
AI analyzes your logged sets and suggests weight, rep or set changes per exercise. Accept or skip individually, or all at once.
- Automatic mesocycle
Accumulation, intensification and deload phases with their own RPE targets. Phase transitions are evaluated automatically.
- Smart intensification block
Roughly +5% weight and lower rep targets, with exceptions for heavy low-rep lifts and machines with coarse weight increments.
- Age-aware deload
A recovery week with reduced volume and intensity. Timing and depth also account for age.
- Technique-week rotation
Heavy and technique weeks alternate for squat and hinge patterns to protect your joints.
- Explosive power mode
Speed-strength focused programming for athletes and sport-specific training.
- Running and cardio in the program
Cardio days with heart-rate zones or target pace as part of the weekly program, not a bolt-on.
- Split from frequency
2–6 sessions per week automatically produces a full body, upper/lower or push-pull-legs split.
Logging at the gym
§ 03A set is logged with one tap, and everything else happens in the background: the rest timer starts, XP accumulates, records are detected and the recovery model updates. A whole workout can be done without any connection.
- One-tap set logging
The rep counter starts at the target and counts down with taps. No keyboard at the gym.
- Smart rest timer
Duration is picked per exercise (isolation 90 s, heavy leg work 180 s). The alarm works in the background and on a locked screen.
- Plate calculator
A visual barbell with color-coded plates shows what to load per side, and it suggests the nearest buildable weight.
- Warm-up calculator
Calculates warm-up sets from your working weight with equipment-friendly rounding, one button.
- RPE logging
Effort is logged per set, and progression suggestions are based on it.
- Supersets and drop sets
The rest timer understands the techniques: no pointless pauses inside a superset pair or a drop-set chain.
- Left/right tracking
Unilateral exercises can be logged per side, and a permanently skipped side doesn't break your stats.
- Mid-workout exercise swap
Bench taken? Swap the exercise in seconds. A starting weight is estimated for the new movement.
- Cardio mode
Distance and duration are logged with their own pickers, not forced into a reps format.
- Full offline workouts
The workout is stored locally and syncs when the connection returns. Nothing is lost.
Exercise library and muscle map
§ 04The library holds over 4,000 exercises with animations and written instructions in Finnish and English. An anatomical muscle map shows weekly volume and recovery per muscle group, and you can create your own exercises even mid-workout.
- 4,000+ exercises
Male and female animations, written instructions and tips for every movement.
- Smart exercise search
Results rank by popularity and the search understands Finnish and English names.
- Custom exercises
Create your own exercise (even mid-workout), attach an image and give it a nickname. Volume and the muscle map update like standard exercises.
- Anatomical muscle map
Two views: weekly set volume and recovery state per muscle group.
- Mobility and stretching
Guided mobility routines: activation before training, recovery stretching after, and a daily flow for rest days.
Recovery and readiness
§ 05SisuLift doesn't guess recovery, it measures it: a recovery score computed from health data, a per-muscle recovery model and a pre-workout readiness check drive the suggestions. On a bad day the whole workout can be lightened with one slider.
- Measured recovery 0–100
The score is computed from sleep and heart-rate data (Health Connect / Apple Health), not just how you feel.
- Per-muscle recovery model
Load accumulates and dissipates per muscle group. The map shows which muscles are ready to train.
- Readiness check
Sleep, stress and energy are logged before training, and the data drives lightening suggestions.
- Workout lightening
Bad day? One slider scales the whole workout's weights down sensibly.
- Cycle-based training adaptation
For women, opt-in: the app knows your cycle phase and can suggest lightening on days many experience as heavier. The data stays private and is never used for analytics.
Nutrition and energy balance
§ 06The app has its own nutrition tracker: calories, macros, fiber and salt, a Finnish Fineli-based food search, barcode scanning and targets calculated automatically from your profile. The burn side is read from your phone's health data, so energy balance is measured, not guessed.
- Calories, macros, fiber and salt
A daily view with a calorie ring and macro cards, plus weekly stats and trends.
- Finnish food search
Fineli/THL data, branded products and your own foods and recipes. Real Finnish food data.
- Barcode scanning
Log a product with the camera in seconds.
- Adaptive energy expenditure
Your calorie target calibrates to your weight trend over time, not a static formula.
- Diet-type macro split
Keto, low carb, Mediterranean and other diet types genuinely change your macro split.
- AI tools for meals
An AI cook suggests a recipe from what's in your fridge, and meals can be logged from a photo or free text.
- Fast logging
Copy yesterday or a single meal with one tap, add water with one button.
- Honest energy balance
Measured active energy without double-counting workouts. Calories in minus calories out at a glance.
Progress and statistics
§ 07The progress page turns training data into visual trends: a strength index, records per rep range, a muscle radar and weight trends show which direction you're heading. The numbers are big and readable.
- Strength Index
Your total strength as a single trend number week over week: upper body, lower body and total.
- Records per rep range
PRs are tracked separately for 1–3, 4–6, 7–10 and 11+ reps, plus estimated 1RM.
- Muscle radar
Training balance at a glance. You see immediately if a muscle group is being neglected.
- Weight trends
Body weight and measurements as trend curves, not single-day noise.
- Before/after photos
Progress photos and a shareable comparison card.
- Monthly report
A summary of the month's workouts, volume and records.
Health data, devices and native apps
§ 08SisuLift is a real native app for Android and iOS as well as a full web app. It reads heart rate, steps and active energy from your phone's health store and works completely offline during a workout.
- Heart rate from your watch
Average and max heart rate are pulled automatically after a workout from Apple Health or Health Connect (Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch, etc.). No chest strap, no second app.
- Steps and daily activity
Your real daily burn for the whole day from measured data.
- Workouts to your health app
A finished workout is also written to Apple Health.
- Home screen widgets
Today's workout and progress visible right on your home screen.

Workout reminders, an abandoned-workout nudge and meal times. No spam.
- Three platforms
iOS (App Store), Android (Google Play) and the web app on the same account.
Data import from other apps
§ 09Switching apps doesn't reset your history: SisuLift imports training history from six sources and can parse a handwritten training diary with AI. You can also export all of your data with one click.
- Six import sources
AITOFIT, Strong, Hevy, Fitbod, FitNotes and generic CSV/Excel.

- GDPR export
All of your data out, any time.
