Product
Adapted is an iOS prehab and mobility app for athletes who are not currently injured. It creates personalized exercise programs designed to address weak or high-risk areas before they lead to injury. The company states that the app is not intended to replace treatment for an active injury.
Personalization
Onboarding captures the athlete's sport, training load, and injury history. Adapted uses this information to build a program covering the body regions most relevant to that athlete.
Adaptive sessions
Athlete feedback changes the difficulty or focus of the next session. Each exercise explains what it targets and why it was selected.
Delivery and pricing
Sessions last 10 to 15 minutes and mostly use bodyweight exercises. Adapted Pro costs $39.99 per year or $8.99 per month.
Market Overview
Sports injury prevention sits between clinical care and fitness software. Physical therapy is typically purchased after an injury, while fitness apps focus mainly on training and performance. Adapted targets athletes who are still active but want to reduce the risk of recurring or preventable injuries.
The commercial model is direct to consumer. Athletes already pay for rehabilitation and training subscriptions, but preventive exercise is rarely funded by insurers outside clinical care. Research suggests that prevention programs work when athletes complete them, making adherence the central challenge.
