The first ten.

What Ankh is.

Ankh is the AI brain above your trackers. It reads your wearables, your training, your nutrition, supplements and body composition together, then writes one briefing each morning: what today should be, and why. The Originals are the first ten people using it from day one, shaping it from the inside.

What an Original is.

An Original is a member of a small, finite, named group. Not an influencer, not an ambassador, not an affiliate. The Class of 2026 is ten people who use Ankh, tell me what is broken, and earn permanent recognition as the people who were here from the start.

The bar isn't follower count or athletic ability. It's care. That you actually want to train better, that you have opinions about what's missing in your current setup, and that you'll use Ankh and tell me what works and what doesn't.

Applications close 30 October 2026. Future cohorts will exist, but they won't be founding Originals. There will only ever be one Class of 2026.

What you'll get.

• Free Ankh Pro for life of active use
• Ankh Pro for two people you nominate (a training partner, a coach, a sibling)
• A direct line to me in a private Signal group
• First access to every new feature, weeks before public release
• Public credit when your feedback ships in the product
• A physical welcome pack each year: a premium training cap and technical tee, numbered 01/10 through 10/10, in matte black with subtle gold Ankh branding
• Your portrait on this page, with your handle, sport, and city
• An annual founder day for members within reach: coffee, training session, dinner, my treat
• A subtle Ankh wordmark badge on your in-app profile
• The right to call yourself an Ankh Original, forever

What you'll give.

Honest use of the app. Real, daily. Honest feedback in the private group whenever you have something to say. One 15-minute call with me each quarter, so four short calls per year. One Instagram Story at induction, announcing you've joined the Originals and sharing your first Ankh screenshot. That's the only public mention asked of you.

After induction, there are no posting requirements, no hashtags, no quotas, and no scripts. The program isn't a marketing funnel and won't become one.

The one rule that keeps the group honest.

Originals benefits are tied to active use of the app, defined as at least one workout logged or wearable sync per week, averaged across a month. After 60 days of inactivity, an Original's status converts to Founding Original Emeritus: the title stays, the recognition on this page stays, but Pro reverts to standard and the group channel access pauses. Active status can be reinstated at any time by simply opening the app again.

This isn't a punishment. It's the alignment mechanism that keeps the group made of people who actually train with Ankh, rather than people who claimed a free badge and disappeared.

On your data.

You're handing your training, recovery, nutrition and body-composition data to an app you've never used before. That trust matters and we've designed for it from the start.

Sign-in is through Apple, so there's no password to give. Your data is encrypted in transit, and at rest both on your device and in the cloud. AI features run only after you agree to them, and you can turn them off. Cycle data is excluded from AI analysis by default, unless you switch it on yourself. You can export your data, and you can delete your account and the data Ankh holds for it. Some technical records may persist briefly after deletion; ask us and we'll remove those too.

Apply to be one of the ten.

This form takes about five minutes. I read every application personally and respond within seven days. Half the cohort is hand-picked, half come through this form.

The application asks for your name, city, Instagram handle and training background. Instagram handle is asked because Originals is a small named group of publicly visible people who train with Ankh, and I need to see the tribe you already train with. Your handle and everything else you submit is used only to evaluate your application; it is never sold, never used for advertising, and is covered in the privacy policy. If you'd rather not share your handle, email hello@ankh.fit instead.

Class of 2026 closes 30 October 2026. After that date, applications roll forward to Class of 2027, opening in January.
