Now in active development

Build the body you
keep showing up for.

Pulse puts your training, nutrition, wearables, body metrics and protocols on one chart — so you can finally see what's working. It's also a complete business OS for trainers: build programs, coach clients, and get paid at 0% platform fees. Observational by design, private by default — your data is yours to keep or delete.

What you get

Everything to train and track

Four pillars that turn good intentions into a consistent, measurable training habit.

The Composite Chart

Your weight, lean mass, biomarkers and performance on one timeline — with your protocols shaded behind them, so cause and effect finally line up.

Pulses

Trainer-made workout tiles: 6–10 short, music-driven clips that flow together and finish with a paired recovery meal. Preview the GIF, buy the Pulse, drop it into your routine.

Trainers & Coaches

Hire a real trainer or coach inside Pulse — programs, messaging, local meetups, video sessions and Twitch-style live workouts you follow at home.

Capture Everything

Workouts, nutrition, body metrics, GPS runs and your watch/ring/scale — logged in seconds, working fully offline.

AI Trainer & Nutritionist

A free-tier AI coach that reads your recent data for behavior-level guidance — never diagnoses, never doses, always points health questions to your physician.

Privacy by Design

HIPAA-grade controls, one-tap deletion, and health data that never reaches an ad or analytics SDK. Yours to keep, yours to delete.

Why Pulse

Designed to keep you coming back

See What Actually Works

Protocol bands and dose markers sit behind your outcome curves, so you can watch your real results move over time.

Coaches & Trainers

Hire a coach or personal trainer inside Pulse — memberships, meetups, video sessions and live-streamed workouts you follow at home.

0% Platform Fees

Trainers keep their revenue. Bill clients and earn supplement commissions through Stripe — Pulse takes a 0% platform cut.

Your Data, Yours

Delete your account and identifiable data anytime. Health data is never sold and never sent to advertisers.

Eat for Your Goals

Track calories and macros, then order goal-fitting meals from local restaurants via DoorDash.

Powered by $Brian

A fitness economy on Base: earn $Brian rewards for showing up, and spend them across the store and ecosystem.
