Can I write a session by typing it like a text message?

Yes. Type something like “strength: front squat 5x3, RDL 3x8” or “back squat 5x3 @ 80%” and press Return. It becomes exercises with sets, reps and loads, in the block you named.

Can I dictate a workout?

Yes. Tap the mic, say what to add or change, and check the cards before you apply them. Voice uses AI, so the app asks for your OK the first time.

Can I copy last week?

Type “/lastweek” on a day to copy that day from last week. To copy whole weeks forward with a progression, use “Copy a week” in the week builder.

Does it work for templates as well as clients?

Yes. You type and edit the same way on a client’s plan or a template. Kilos worked out from a max show only on a client’s plan, because a template has no athlete.

Coach question · updated 16 October 2026

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. You can also add saved days and blocks, copy a day, or say a change and apply it after you check it.

The week builder on a phone: week 17, Wednesday 14 October, with push press plus push jerk 5 × 2+2 at 64.5%, snatch balance 3 × 3 at 87.5% and four accessories with RPE targets, above a “Type an exercise…” bar with a microphone button — One day at a time, with the typing bar and the mic at the bottom.

How it works

Type the session in one line
Write a day the way you would text it: “strength: front squat 5x3, RDL 3x8, split squat 3x10”. The word before the colon picks the block. Each exercise gets its sets, reps, kilos, percentage or RPE.
Reuse what you already wrote
Type “/” for shortcuts. “/lastweek” copies the same day from last week, “/copy” brings in another day, and “/day” or “/block” adds a saved one. The + button opens your saved blocks, days and weeks.
Tap a row to fine-tune it
Tap an exercise to edit its sets, reps, load in kilos or % of 1RM, RPE and rest. On a client’s plan it shows the kilos for that athlete. Move an exercise to another day, superset it or swap it, and undo a move or a removal.
Or say it
Tap the mic and say “add 3×5 back squat at 80%” or “move snatch balance to Thursday”. The changes show as cards, and nothing changes until you apply them.

Other apps that do this

Several coaching apps keep program building on the web. In Trainerize’s web and mobile feature table, creating programs and building workouts are web only. Hevy Coach says creating and managing programs is only in its web app.

Some let you add single sessions on the phone. TrainHeroic coaches can create sessions on mobile, with the bigger planning tools on the web. TrueCoach added workout creation to its coach app in 2025.

Limits worth knowing

On a phone you build one week at a time, day by day. Several weeks in one scroll is on a tablet or computer.
Voice editing uses AI, so it needs your OK to use AI and an active plan or trial. Typing works without AI.
Voice edits have an hourly limit. Typing has none.
Some blocks have more settings than fit on a phone, and open in the full editor.
Extra coaches on a Team or Gym plan can type and edit, but not use voice.
Strength loads are in kilograms. Pounds are only available in the CrossFit workout builder for now.
