Product snapshot
Alter is a home-fitness app built for iPhone that blends genetic data with live biometric feedback to deliver highly individualized training plans. The platform uses a specialized DNA kit that analyzes 60 polymorphisms to help users learn about tendencies for weight management, stress reactivity, and which types of exercise are likely to work best for them. That genomic profile is paired with continuous biometric input from a wearable device so workouts and recovery suggestions adapt to each person's current state.
How personalization is created
- The app starts with a DNA analysis (60 polymorphisms) to uncover metabolic and stress-related tendencies.
- Ongoing data from a wrist-worn tracker feeds into the program so recommendations reflect both long-term predispositions and day-to-day physiology.
- Combining genetic markers and real-time vitals generates tailored training prescriptions, nutrition cues, and a daily readiness metric to guide when to push hard or prioritize recovery.
Training formats and support
Alter offers both active sessions and inward-focused practices, all guided by experienced instructors and technology that helps reduce injury risk.
- Yoga sessions for flexibility, mobility, and low-impact conditioning.
- Interval-style cardio and strength circuits for calorie burn and conditioning.
- Dance-based classes that emphasize fun movement and coordination.
- In addition to live or on-demand classes, the platform provides automated form feedback using computer-vision and coaching cues to help users move safely.
App functions and user experience
The app is organized as a central control point for training, insights, and wellness monitoring. Users can schedule workouts, review their genetic and biometric summaries, and track a daily readiness score that informs workout intensity. Content labeled as “work-ins” focuses on breath, mobility, and mental recovery as complements to traditional workouts.
