Coach questions

Coaching app questions, answered

What strength coaches ask before they move their programming into an app, answered with what Strength Academy does, how it works, and its limits.

• Is there a coaching app that tracks rep maxes and shows volume week by week?

  Yes. Strength Academy keeps each athlete’s 1, 2, 3 and 5-rep maxes for any lift, and updates them on its own when the athlete logs a heavier set.

• Is there an app that keeps percentage-based programming and delivers it to athletes?

  Yes. In Strength Academy you write the program the way you do in your spreadsheet, as sets, reps and a percentage of 1RM, and each athlete sees their own weight in kilograms in the app, worked out from their max.

• Is there a coaching app that shows volume and intensity while you build the program?

  Yes. In Strength Academy’s week builder an Insights panel sits beside the week you are writing.

• How do I give video feedback on my athletes’ lifts remotely?

  Have athletes send the clip inside their training app, attached to the exercise they just lifted, so the video arrives with the sets they logged. In Strength Academy it lands in your Videos queue with a push.

• How do I turn one training week into a progressive block?

  Write one good week, then copy it forward with a progression rule for each new week.

• How do I move my training programs from Google Sheets into a coaching app?

  Download the sheet as an Excel file or a PDF, then import it into Strength Academy. Program import is on every plan. It reads xlsx, xls, csv, ods and pdf files, or up to 8 photos of a printed program.

• Which coaching app lets me keep 100% of what my clients pay?

  Strength Academy takes no cut of what your clients pay you. Clients pay through Stripe into a payout account set up for you from the app, so you keep everything except Stripe’s processing fee.

• Is there a coaching app that works with ChatGPT or Claude?

  Yes. Strength Academy has a connector for your own Claude or ChatGPT. Add it with one URL, and your assistant can read a client’s programmed and logged training, check-ins and maxes, then write next week.

• Is there a coaching app where I can build training programs on my phone?

  Yes. Strength Academy’s week builder works on a phone, one day at a time. Type a session in one line, such as “strength: front squat 5x3, RDL 3x8”, and it becomes exercises with sets and reps.

• We use WhatsApp for chat and another app for programs. Is there one app for both?

  Yes. In Strength Academy each client has a private chat with you, next to their program, with text, voice notes and video. Check-ins you write yourself arrive in that chat daily, weekly or monthly.
