Stop guessing your weights. Test them.
ELYO measures your actual strength in one diagnostic session - then builds a 12-week plan where every weight is calculated, every session adapts to how you feel, and progress is engineered, not improvised.

How it works
From first question to calibrated plan in one session.
- Step 1~5 min
Quick assessment
Injury screening, training background, schedule, equipment. Eight questions - no fluff, every answer shapes your program.
- Step 2~60 min
Strength diagnostics
Four lifts. Three endurance holds. We calculate your 1RM from submaximal sets and confirm your training level. This is your first workout - not a form.
- Step 312 weeks
Train on real numbers
Every weight in your plan is computed from your test. Three periodized phases - motor learning, hypertrophy, strength - each building on the last.
The difference
Your plan asks how you feel.
Then it does the math.
Before every session, ELYO runs a 30-second wellness check - sleep, energy, motivation, soreness. Your readiness score adjusts today's weights automatically.

Engineered, not estimated.
Weights calibrated from day one
Most apps guess your starting weights from bodyweight formulas. ELYO tests them. One submaximal set per lift gives us your estimated 1RM - and every prescribed weight in your 12-week plan derives from it.
- 4 strength lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, pull-up
- 3 endurance holds confirm your training level
- Skip option available - estimates improve as you log
Progress you can actually see
Weekly volume, movement category balance, and a strength score built from your diagnostic lifts. Not vanity metrics - training data that tells you whether the plan is working.
- Total volume tracked across all 167 exercises
- Push / Pull / Legs / Hinge / Core breakdown reveals imbalance
- PR detection fires automatically during your rest timer
A streak that knows when you're sick
Session-based, not day-based - built for 3x/week training, not daily guilt. And if you're ill or your readiness is critical, your streak is automatically protected. Training through sickness breaks progress; ELYO knows the difference.
- Intelligent forgiveness - illness never breaks your streak
- Critical readiness triggers a recovery session, not a zero
- Milestones tied to real training, not app opens
How it works
Periodization isn't a buzzword. It's how adaptation works.

- training phases - motor learning, hypertrophy, strength - each with a distinct physiological goal
- 4x
- weight given to muscle soreness in your readiness score - the strongest predictor of session quality
- -10%
- automatic load reduction when readiness is low - recover today, progress tomorrow
- 35
- point readiness scale computed before every PERFORM session from sleep, energy, motivation, soreness

Is ELYO suitable for beginners?
Yes - the diagnostic session calibrates to your exact level. If you're under a year into training or don't pass the endurance tests, you start on the Foundation program with movement quality as the first phase. Nobody gets a generic plan.
