How it works

Your history in. A workout you approved out.

Lion Lift exposes your training data to an AI assistant through a connector built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting assistants to tools and data. You sign in, the assistant gets access to your own records, and it can add new workouts to your Lion Lift calendar. In plain terms: the assistant becomes a training partner that has actually read your log.

The four steps

  1. 1

    Review your history

    Your assistant reads your recent completed lifts, runs, swims and rides, plus anything you've told it about goals, time and how you feel.

  2. 2

    Propose a workout

    It suggests one specific session, with the reasoning, as a plan to look over. Nothing is saved yet.

  3. 3

    You approve

    Review the exact date, exercises, sets, weights or intervals. Ask for changes, or say no.

  4. 4

    Schedule it

    Once you confirm, the assistant creates the workout in Lion Lift, where you can see it on your dashboard. Runs, swims and rides can then be synced to Apple Fitness and your Watch.

An example

Ask in your own words.

These are prompts the connector is documented to handle. Your assistant decides which Lion Lift actions to use to answer.

  • “Review my lifting data for Chest and Triceps over the past month, including exercises I like, typical weights, sets and reps. Then schedule me a Chest and Triceps session for tomorrow with an emphasis on hypertrophy.”
  • “Compare my two most recent runs: pace, heart rate, heart-rate drift, splits, power, elevation and perceived effort.”
  • “Analyze my barbell bench-press history over the past six months and tell me if I've plateaued.”

What the connector can and can't do.

Can

  • Read your workout history: lifts, runs, rides, swims and core sessions.
  • Read basic profile details you've entered, such as name, sex and training experience.
  • Schedule a lift for a date, with exercises, sets, weights (in pounds) and reps.
  • Schedule a structured interval run, pool swim or bike workout.
  • List workouts that were scheduled through the connector.

Can't

  • Delete or edit your completed workouts.
  • Schedule open-water swims or GPS pace alerts for swimming.
  • Reach another person's account. Requests are tied to the Lion Lift account you signed in with.
  • Replace a doctor or qualified coach. Suggestions are general fitness guidance.

Which assistants work?

Lion Lift's connector has been tested with ChatGPT and Claude. Because it follows the open MCP standard, other MCP-capable assistants and open-source clients may work, but we haven't tested them and don't officially support them yet. What your assistant provider does with your conversation is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy; see our Privacy Policy for what Lion Lift shares.

Common questions

How do I connect an AI assistant?

Add the Lion Lift connector in your assistant's connector or plugin settings and sign in with the Google account linked to your Lion Lift account. If you see a message that your Google account isn't linked yet, open Lion Lift, connect Google in your account details, and try again.

Will the assistant schedule workouts without asking me?

Lion Lift's assistant instructions tell it to show you the exact workout and ask for confirmation before scheduling anything. You should still read each plan before approving it.

Can the assistant delete my workouts?

No. The connector can read your history and schedule new workouts. It has no action to delete or edit completed workouts.
