Hi HN, I'm an indie dev who built this to settle a long-running argument with my teenage son about who lifts more at the gym.

    I was frustrated about static, generic fitness apps and ChatGPT didn't give me enough structure and follow up in my fitness journey so I built MyTrainer, the first fully agentic oriented fitness coaching mobile app. It generates custom workout + nutrition plans, adapts in real time and connects to health data - all of this from a chatbot UI.
