Talon builds the structure — your split, your weekly volume, your progression. You choose every exercise that fills it, from the workout reels you've saved or a library of 800+. Then it coaches the session and logs every set.

You saved this 3 days ago and rated it 5★. Leads your press slot.
You've saved 300 workouts across Instagram and TikTok. You still do the same five exercises. The app that stored them never once told you what to do on Monday.
So you download a 12-week program written for someone else's body, someone else's gym, someone else's schedule — and quit in week three when it stops fitting.
“Saved another leg-day reel last night. That folder is where workouts go to die.”
“I have 300 saved workouts and I still do the same 5 exercises every week.”
No account connection. No scraping. No blank screen asking you to build a workout from nothing.
Muscle, strength, cardio, full body, a split, mobility. Days per week. What equipment you actually have. One screen.
One movement slot per screen, already filled with the engine's best pick. Swipe down through the workout, sideways through alternatives. Nothing to type, no lists to drag.
Talon counts your rest and logs each set against what you did last time. Next week's targets come from what you actually lifted — not from a spreadsheet.
Every other app makes you build a workout in a form — rows, pickers, a search field, a drag handle. We deleted the form.
Each slot is one full screen with the exercise playing. The engine has already chosen the movement pattern, the order, the sets and reps. All that's left is the only question you actually have an opinion about: which exercise goes here? Swipe sideways and it's a different one — from your own saved reels first, ranked by what you've rated and trained.
Every gesture has a visible button doing the same job. You'll swipe by day three; you'll understand the screen in second three.
Talon is a training app first. Saved reels are the fastest way to make the programs feel like yours — but an empty library still gets you a complete, balanced week from day one.
Every one of these is the same engine with different slot templates and rep schemes — which is why switching goals doesn't mean starting over.
Don't want anything generated? Build the whole thing by hand. The engine stays on as a second opinion, never a driver.
As you add exercises it shows live weekly volume per muscle against the range that actually grows muscle, flags what you've left thin, and offers ranked suggestions from your own reels to close the gap. Sets, reps and rest arrive pre-filled from your goal — change any of them on a wheel.
It will never move an exercise you chose, or quietly swap one out. It tells you what's missing and waits.
Pick the Cardio goal and the same engine builds a polarized week — the way endurance athletes actually train: mostly easy, one brutal session, nothing wasted in between. Then Talon coaches you by heart rate — phone in your pocket, earbuds doing the talking.
The Norwegian interval protocol from the NTNU trials: 4 minutes hard at 85–95% of max, 3 minutes easy, four times through. In the published studies that's roughly 7% more aerobic capacity (VO₂max) in eight weeks — the most studied 40 minutes in endurance training.
Steady base work with guardrails that stop you drifting too hot — drifting is how most people “do Zone 2” and get nothing from it. Every ten minutes, one check: “could you speak a full sentence right now?”
Your age sets your starting zones, using the formula from Norway's HUNT study of thousands of measured adults — sharper than the old 220 − age. Every session refines them from what your heart actually did. No lab test, no guesswork.
Cardio sessions land in the same week as your lifting, spaced so the hard ones don't fall on top of your heavy days. One program, one calendar. Live heart-rate guidance pairs with Apple Watch or any Bluetooth heart-rate strap.
Some days you want the numbers. Some days you want to train and go home. Talon doesn't make you declare which kind of person you are in a settings screen.
Tap the tick and the set is done as shown — one tap, rest timer starts. Tap a number and you get iOS-style wheels for weight and reps, with a click you can feel. The row always shows what a tick would record, so you never log a number you didn't see.
Last session's numbers sit on the left of every row — every set is a rematch you can see. Beneath the sets, the progress log for that exercise: volume per session, or total reps if it's bodyweight, so pull-up progress isn't invisible. Next cycle's targets come from all of it.
Every exercise links back to the original reel and the creator who made it.
We never re-host video. Your program sends traffic back to the coaches you already follow — their handle is on the card while you train.
No. The exercise library covers a complete program on its own. Reels just make it yours — your coaches, your movements, your style of training.
You keep what matters. The exercise stays in your program, the form cues stay with it, and every set you've logged against it stays in your history. Only the clip goes — and the standard demo takes its place.
No, and it won't pretend to. Most reels never state them. Talon writes the program — the sets, the reps, the progression — and the reel tells it which movement you want and how you like it performed.
No. Nothing connects to your Instagram. You share reels one at a time from the share sheet — that's the only thing we ever see.
No. One tap marks a set done; the wheels are there when you want the numbers. Log nothing at all and the program still runs — you just get a thinner progress screen.
Never. The engine picks the slot — pattern, order, volume. You pick what fills it, and it won't change your choice behind your back.
Every exercise credits and links the original reel and creator. We never copy or re-host video — your program sends views back to the coaches you follow.
Instagram Reels and TikTok at launch, plus screenshots of a workout from anywhere. YouTube Shorts is on the list.
One program. Your exercises. Every set counted.
