## Description

Sheiko Gold is an AI-driven strength training coach for beginners through elite athletes. It delivers highly flexible, personalized programs that adapt to your training history, goals, and day-to-day readiness. Integrated VBT (velocity-based training) and the Velos-ID add-on let you track velocity and power in real time, while customizable exercises and up to 14 workouts per week give you the structure to push for hypertrophy, strength, or weight loss.

How it works: answer a few quick questions about sleep, soreness, mood and motivation; the AI compares that input to your past training and goals and builds the most effective workout for that moment. Log sets in real time, request substitutions, and let the app make small adjustments as you go. Save sessions, chart KPIs, and watch your progress — Sheiko Gold acts like a coach at your side, delivering the right dose of training stress at the right time.
