Features

Every part of the climb, in one app.

Lifts, food, recovery and competition, each one feeds the same mountain. Tap any feature to go deep.

Climb the tiers. Hold the line.

Ascend ranks each muscle by bodyweight-adjusted strength so a 60kg lifter and a 100kg lifter compete on a level field. Recruit → Climber → Summit → Apex, refreshed weekly, globally or friends-only.

Find your strength tier. Climb from Recruit to Apex.

Every muscle gets ranked by bodyweight-adjusted strength, not raw kilos, so a 60kg lifter and a 100kg lifter compete on a level field. Recruit → Climber → Summit → Apex, per muscle, updated every week.

Train hard on green days. Back off on red.

Ascend reads your sleep, soreness flags, training load and streak into a transparent 0–100 readiness score and a front/back body map, so you know whether today is a push day or a recovery day. Works with or without a wearable.

Point your phone at your plate and the macros come back.

Snap a photo and Ascend's vision model returns its best guess plus alternates and a confidence score, you confirm in a tap and it logs. No weighing, no endless database search.

Log sets without putting the bar down.

Ascend's mid-set voice button accepts natural commands, "100 by 8 RPE 8", "add a set", "start rest". Speech runs on-device for sub-200ms response and zero data leaving your phone.

Film the set. Fix the form.

Upload a 6-second clip of a working set and Ascend returns two specific, actionable cues, "knee caving on the descent, sit wider", so you fix technique before it costs you a PR or an injury.

Six-character code. One crew. One mountain.

Text a 6-character code and your crew's in, no link wrangling. Crews share a weekly summit goal, cheer each other's PRs, nudge the quiet ones, and climb a shared mountain together.

One subscription. Five climbers. All of Ascend Club.

Ascend Club Family covers up to five linked accounts at NZ$19.99/mo. Each climber gets the full Ascend Club feature set, with their own private log.

A full year of training, in one glance.

Ascend renders every training day as a square on a 53-week grid, colour intensity scaled by how hard you went. It's the most honest, most shareable proof of consistency in fitness.

Every Sunday, a recap worth sharing.

Ascend turns your week into a swipeable, branded story, volume moved, PRs, elevation gained, plus one-tap PR and before/after share cards. The Spotify-Wrapped moment for training, weekly instead of yearly.

One missed day won't break your streak.

Any logged workout, meal or water entry keeps your streak alive. And when life gets in the way, a streak freeze protects your run, a forgiving streak built for real life, not a punishing all-or-nothing counter.
