Why I built it
A doctor gave me two options: surgery, or training.
Five years ago I dislocated my shoulder. It turned into a permanent injury, and I chose daily training over surgery: lifting, stretching, sports, and rehab every single day since.
Showing up was never the hard part. Knowing what to do was. My training was scattered across a workout tracker, gym classes, Garmin for sleep data, and Claude where I pasted gym-board photos every Sunday. Nothing tied my lifting, my shoulder rehab, and my nutrition together—so I built it for myself.
Six months in, every session has a plan, my shoulder rehab is built into the program, and I'm lifting heavier than I did before the injury. In the kitchen, we cook new high-protein meals every week from what's already at home and throw away far less food.

Questions
When can I use it, and what will it cost?
We're letting a small group in first. Every new account starts with a free 3-week trial of Pro (the AI coach for your training and meals). After the trial, you can keep using workout tracking, templates, readiness and the shared household fridge on the Free plan, or upgrade to Pro. Pricing isn't set yet, and beta testers will get a founder discount if Pro launches. The interactive demo is open right now with sample data.
How do I log food without spending 10 minutes weighing everything?
Write a quick sentence (“chicken wrap, skyr and a banana”), snap a photo of your plate, tick off a meal you cooked from your plan, or tap a saved staple. On training days, your calorie and protein target scales up automatically.
How does it adapt to my progress, effort, and injuries?
You rate how each session felt (Easy, Moderate, Hard or All out) and how each set went. Weight only goes up when all working sets were clean, and holds or drops if a lift felt heavy. If you log an injury, the coach automatically swaps out aggravating exercises and builds targeted rehab and prehab work into your warm-up and accessory slots.
Is it a doctor or physio?
No. PanTrainer gives coaching, not medical advice, and is for people 18 and over. For pain or injuries, see a professional.
Do I need a watch?
No. A watch or smart scale adds sleep, heart rate and weight through Apple Health or Health Connect, but your phone is enough to start.
Who is it built for?
It's built for people who train regularly—lifting, hybrid training, sports, or coming back from an injury—who want one system connecting their gym progression, rehab, recovery, and daily protein/calorie targets, plus a shared kitchen planner for everyone at home.
Is my data private?
Yes. The app and database run in Belgium, and the AI (Google's Gemini) is processed in the EU, with Scaleway in Paris as a backup. Food photos are stored by Vercel for now and move to EU storage soon. Your data is never sold and never used to train AI models, and health data is only used with your consent. Food is shared only with people you invite. Privacy policy.
