AI workout generation
Describe a workout by voice or text, including duration, focus, and equipment. Pasta generates the exercises, sets, reps, and rest for the session.
Pasta
Pasta is an AI personal training app for iPhone that creates voice- or text-guided workouts and plans, with spoken instructions, timers, Apple Health, and heart-rate support.
AI-guided workouts and training plans for iPhone
Pasta is an AI personal training app for iPhone that creates workouts and longer training plans from natural-language requests. Users can hold to talk or tap to type a goal such as a 30-minute upper-body session with dumbbells, then receive a session with exercises, sets, repetitions, and rest periods.
The app is designed to keep the phone out of the way during exercise. It gives spoken set and rest instructions, displays the timer on iPhone surfaces and Apple Watch, saves workouts to Apple Health, and uses available heart-rate, sleep, and HRV information for reporting and readiness features. The site states that Apple Intelligence builds workouts on the iPhone and that recorded data stays on the device.
Features
On-demand exercise changes
Ask Pasta to change an exercise you do not want to perform, and it swaps the movement within the session.
Workout import from links
Paste a YouTube or webpage link to convert an existing workout into a session when Pasta can process the source.
Hands-free workout guidance
Pasta speaks each set and rest interval. The running timer is available on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, widgets, and Apple Watch.
Adaptive training plans
Set a goal such as a half marathon or a bigger deadlift. Pasta schedules training around available days and can continue without an end date, adding a lighter week every fourth week.
Progress and readiness insights
View weekly reports with records, resting heart rate, sleep, and estimated VO₂ max. Insights also includes heart-rate zones, training load, readiness, and HRV-based information.
Use cases
Build a workout on demand
Give Pasta a time limit, target area, and equipment constraints to receive a ready-to-follow session without manually selecting exercises or rest periods.
Train without handling the phone
Use spoken coaching and the timer on Apple Watch or the iPhone’s Lock Screen while the phone stays in a pocket or bag during a gym session.
Follow a longer-term goal
Set an endurance or strength objective and let Pasta arrange the weeks around the days you can train, using weights you have already lifted as a starting point.
Convert an online routine
Paste a workout found on YouTube or a webpage to turn an external routine into a Pasta session when the link can be processed.
