SAN DIEGO, CA - October 1, 2025

Evolve, the official training app of Powerlifting America, has launched Realtime Training, a major system update that allows lifters to modify and personalize their training plans instantly. This feature marks a significant evolution in athlete–AI collaboration — giving users unprecedented flexibility to shape their programs while maintaining the expert logic of Evolve’s Genesis training engine.

“With Realtime Training, we’ve eliminated the barrier between the athlete and the system,” said Garrett Blevins, CEO of Evolve and former world-record-holding powerlifter. “Now users can adjust exercises, modify sets and reps, and even guide how the AI coaches them — all without breaking the flow of their training plan.”

Training That Evolves With You

‍The Realtime update transforms how users interact with their programs by bringing dynamic editing and AI learning directly into the training experience. Athletes can now make meaningful adjustments on the fly while still benefiting from the precision and structure that define Evolve’s programming.

‍Key new capabilities include:

• Drag-and-Drop Flexibility: Move exercises anywhere within your training week — instantly reshaping your split to match your schedule or recovery needs.
• Add or Remove Exercises: Introduce new accessory movements or remove others without disrupting the overall block design or long-term progression.
• AI Coaching Customization: Choose how the system coaches you — from conservative to aggressive progression styles — or define your preferred set, rep, and intensity patterns.
• Adaptive Learning: Every change helps train Evolve’s AI to better understand your preferences and performance trends, creating a smarter, more responsive training experience over time.

The Next Step in Athlete-Driven Programming

‍The Realtime update is a continuation of Evolve’s mission to merge expert programming with lifter autonomy. Rather than locking users into rigid templates, Evolve now provides a collaborative system — one that learns, adapts, and evolves alongside the athlete.

“This update lets lifters do what great coaches do — make adjustments in context,” said Dr. Zac Robinson, Head of Research at Evolve. “It’s the future of training personalization: guided by data, refined by the athlete.”
