The Shade app.
Shade is a full training app, not just a website. The web app is live today; the iOS and Android apps are on the way.
Training
Lower body, week 3
Web app
The full platform in your browser: training, programs, records, communities, events, and every management surface.
iOS
Log sets at the rack, check the day's session, and follow your leaderboards from your pocket. The App Store badge lands here at launch.
Android
The same training surface on Android. The Google Play badge lands here at launch.
Log anywhere
The phone is for the gym floor: today's session, quick set logging, rest timers, and PRs the moment they land.
Build on the big screen
The web app is for the desk: program building, community management, event authoring, and the deep record views.
One training history
One account across every device. Log a set on your phone and it's on your leaderboards, your programs, and your records everywhere.
Run any event, at any size.
Communities run whatever they actually run: a club throwdown, a powerlifting meet with weight classes, a school combine, a full federation championship. Build the divisions your sport needs from weight class, age, gender, and level, take registrations and payments, score it live, and publish results straight onto the leaderboards.

Rankings for every community
Every community runs its own leaderboards, split by the same divisions its events use, and results are checked the way each community chooses. Your records travel with you across every community you belong to.
Three ways onto a leaderboard
Source data from training logs, manual member submissions, or event results.
Custom divisions
Create any way to rank based on gender, weight class, age, and more.
All-time records and community challenges
Create permanent leaderboards for record keeping and timed challenges.
Programming built on exercise science.
Customize your periodization with various techniques. Have full control over the programming logic with deloads, % of max, and progressions.
Click a curve and the canvas re-periodizes every lift in its own unit.
All the coaching features you need
Assign programs and workouts to your athletes, friends, and your community.

Host it at your gym.
Run your own competition, in whatever form your sport takes. Verified communities also host Open contests on the floor, so your members compete in the room instead of filming alone in a garage. Leaderboards, challenges, classes, and programming come with it, on the same platform your athletes already log with.
Leaderboards that mean something
Community and team leaderboards with divisions by gender, weight class, age, and level. You pick the features your community runs and the rules for how results count.
Any format you need to run
Registration, payments, waitlists, scoring, and published results, from a Friday throwdown to a sanctioned meet. Compose divisions from weight class, age, gender, and level, or author axes of your own when your sport splits differently.
Program the whole roster
Publish programs to the community, schedule group cohorts, and watch adherence, attendance, and PR velocity roll in from every member's logs.
Coaches work with named athletes
A coach and an athlete agree one to one, and the coach programs that athlete's week: schedules, records, and check-ins without a second app.
What Changes for Your Members
Every feature you switch on is something your members see, chase, and rally around.
They know what's going on
Announcements, the community feed, and a shared schedule put every program, class, and event in front of your members the moment it goes live. Nobody trains in the dark.
They push themselves harder
A new PR lands on the leaderboard for the whole community to see. Divisions give every member a podium within reach, and challenges give the month a finish line.
They stick around
Group runs, coaching, and the build-up to your next event turn solo training into something shared. Members who compete together keep showing up.
How Shade compares.
The tools below each cover a piece: logging, programming, coaching, or gym operations. Here they run together, and the training feeds records, rankings, and competition across communities.
What makes Shade different
The capabilities that only exist because training, records, and competition live on one platform.
Training that counts for something
A full program builder with %-of-max and RPE prescriptions, per-exercise progressions, group cohorts, and AI-assisted generation. The training it produces feeds the same records and rankings the rest of the platform runs on.
A complete event system
Hosted meets, comps, and challenges with registration, entry payments, waitlists, division trees, scoring, and published results. End to end, from a Friday throwdown to a sanctioned meet.
Records that travel
Your PRs feed leaderboards at every scope (crew, gym, federation, platform), with divisions by gender, weight class, age, and level. Your logs and records stay yours across every community you join.
