Why strength
You're not short on time. You're short on muscle.
Muscle fades quietly from your thirties. Strength is what keeps stairs, shopping and getting up off the floor easy at 80, and a little of the right training helps hold on to it.
How it works
Three steps. Up to twice a week.
Lift slowly, coached live
A slow lift and a slow lower. The coach counts out loud and keeps your tempo honest.
The app sets next week
Reach your target time with steady form and the weight goes up. Fall short and it holds.
Camera or sensor
Two ways to measure. Same coach.
- Prop the phone up and the camera counts reps and checks your range.
- Video stays on your phone unless you choose to save a clip.
- Nothing to buy. Works on the machines you already use.

Built from a real log
I hated the gym. Then I logged every second.
"One slow set per machine, once a week, every rep in a spreadsheet. Seventeen months later my leg press had gone from 71.5 kg to 105 kg. Intense Fit is that spreadsheet, done properly."

The science, plainly
Hard and slow beats long and many.
Effort recruits muscle
As a slow set gets hard, your body calls on more muscle fibres to keep moving. That is the stimulus.
Recovery builds it
Strength grows between sessions, so rest is part of the plan, not a gap in it.
Measured, then raised
Time under load shows how hard the set was, so the next weight is earned, not guessed.
Questions
Straight answers.
Can workouts this short do anything?
For many people it can, when the sets are hard and done slowly. Studies of single-set training report real strength gains on much less time than multi-set programmes. Results vary with experience, recovery and consistency. Workouts are built to finish in 30 minutes or less, and you train up to twice a week, when the app says you have recovered.
Do I need a gym?
The full plan uses five common gym machines. There are also dumbbell and bodyweight sessions for training at home.
Is the camera recording me?
The camera counts reps on your phone. Video stays on the device unless you choose to save a clip. You can also train with the sensor and keep the camera off.
I'm over 60. Is this for me?
Slow, controlled lifting is easy to scale and gentle on joints. Check with your doctor if you have a medical condition, and start light.
