Our Story

It started with our own training.

We’re a husband-and-wife team, and we’d both trained with personal trainers. We knew how much it helped to have someone who could see the bigger picture, understand what we were working toward and help us decide what to do next.

When we started training on our own, we tried conversational AI, tracked our workouts manually and worked our way through different fitness apps. Each helped us in the moment. We were still left to piece together what had changed from one session to the next, and what it meant for the week ahead.

A missed workout or an imperfect day could leave us wondering how to continue. We wanted guidance that took account of what had actually happened, so we could feel that the plan still made sense.

We missed the encouragement, too. Knowing the next step mattered, but so did feeling supported enough to keep showing up. That was the part of coaching we kept coming back to.

So we built Solen for ourselves. As it became the tool we kept returning to, we decided to make it into something we could share.

That is still what we want Solen to offer: AI coaching informed by your goals and the training you actually do, with guidance for the days that go well and the weeks that do not. A place to understand where you are and decide how to keep going.
