Proxima
Despite there being lots of information out there on how to train in the gym, I still get asked by beginners the same fundamental questions. I decided to build a tool that would allow them to create their own programs in a matter of seconds. I plan soon to create another tool that will rate the quality of these AI built workouts to help improve the programs over time.
Proxima launched on April 17, 2026 with 77 votes, #625 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.
What it does
You download another "AI" fitness app. Answer the same ten questions. Get the same generic "personalized" plan. Proxima is different, it actually learns you over time. The program you're running in month six looks nothing like the one you started with, driven by your actual performance data. It remembers. It adjusts. It grows with you. For self-coached lifters tired of templates that ignore your injuries, your work schedule, and your bodyweight - this is what you've been looking for.
Describe your goals, get a tailored program, track in your fitness app, and your program adapts with you.
After paying $160/mo for a nationally-ranked powerlifting coach, Alex Chen put Proxima's $9.99/mo AI Coach to the test. You get a multi-week block with progressive overload, RPE targets, and deload weeks built in. Every exercise includes why it's there, and you can edit the grid without regenerating from scratch. Export a week to Hevy in one click and keep logging sets in the app you already use. As you train, Proxima reads your Hevy history, flags stalls, and suggests the next week's progression so the plan keeps matching how you're actually lifting. Connect Hevy and get coaching on the program you already built - refine weak points, swap exercises, and keepfrom proximafitness.com

ARVONov 2025 · arvo.guru · ▲8Hey HN, I've been lifting for years and got frustrated with fitness apps that either (a) generate a static plan and forget about you, or (b) require manual logging with no intelligence. So I built Arvo—an AI personal trainer that adapts after every single set, not just at the start of your workout. Why 19 agents instead of one? Each handles a specific job: - Exercise Architect (selects movements based on equipment/goals) - Load Navigator (calculates weight adjustments based on RIR) - Volume Manager (tracks MEV/MAV/MRV per muscle group) - Pattern Scout (extracts insights from…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
