Liftspan is a strength-training app that grades exercises for joint and lower-back concerns, sets starting weights, and adjusts progression. It can also turn a photo of an existing workout program into a plan.
Who is it for?
It is for people over 40, including those training around sore joints, a lower back, shoulder, or knee issue.
How does it work?
Users can start with a built-in plan or photograph a program. Liftspan matches exercises, sets starting weights, suggests safer swaps, adapts sessions based on check-ins and recovery, and tracks workouts across devices.
What does it cost?
The web version is free with no card or ads. Pro costs $4.99 per month with a 7-day free trial, or $24.99 per year at the founding price until December 31; a $99.99 lifetime option is also advertised for the first 150 buyers.
