Does it work with ChatGPT or only Claude?

Both. In Claude you add it as a custom connector. In ChatGPT you add it as a connector in developer mode. Either way, a Strength Academy page asks you to approve the connection.

Can my assistant change a client’s program without asking?

Writing a week returns a preview first, and nothing is saved. The assistant has to confirm in a second call, which it is told to make only after your OK. It never overwrites a week that already has exercises.

Can it message my clients?

Only with the messaging permission switched on. Your assistant is told to show you the exact text and send it only after your OK. Each message goes to one active client, with a push to their phone.

Which plan do I need?

Any coach plan, or the 14-day free trial, covers the coaching tools. Drafting carousels and the other content tools need the Content package.

Can it see my clients’ health data?

It does not read pain reports or wearable data. It works with training: the program, logged sets, readiness, check-ins, bodyweight, maxes and nutrition totals.

Coach question · updated 16 October 2026

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. It shows you the week first and saves it to the plan only after you say yes.

The week builder for one athlete: week 7 of a volume, strength and peaking cycle, each day with weightlifting, strength and accessory exercises in sets, reps and kilos, and the Insights panel showing 15,811 kg of volume — A week your assistant writes is saved to the plan like any other week, ready to edit here.

How it works

Add the connector
Copy the connector URL from your Business profile in Strength Academy. In Claude, add it as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a connector in developer mode. A Strength Academy page then opens for you to approve.
Choose what it may do
The approval page shows what your assistant can see and create. Each kind of action that changes things, such as making changes in the app or messaging your clients, has its own switch.
Ask about a client
Ask for a client’s week summary or a training analysis. It reads up to six weeks in one call: each programmed day beside the logged sets, plus readiness, check-ins, bodyweight, maxes and nutrition.
Approve the week before it saves
Ask it to write next week. It first returns a preview, and nothing is written. The week is saved to the plan only on a second, confirmed call, and the athlete gets a “plan updated” notification.

Other apps that do this

Trainerize documents an MCP connection that lets Claude or ChatGPT reach client data, through its FitMetrics add-on or its Studio and Enterprise plans.

Other apps build their own assistant in, such as Everfit’s Ask Olly, in beta. As of October 2026 we found no documented Claude or ChatGPT connector for Everfit, TrueCoach, TrainHeroic or Hevy Coach. If yours has one, email us and we will update this page.

Limits worth knowing

It writes empty weeks only. A week that already has exercises is edited in the week builder.
For a client who follows a template, it writes the template, which reaches every athlete on it.
It does not read pain reports or wearable data such as heart rate, HRV or tracked sleep.
Carousel drafts, footage search and the Instagram tools need the Content package. The coaching tools are on every plan.
You need your own Claude or ChatGPT account, and the AI work runs there. Claude’s Free plan allows one custom connector.
Extra coaches on a Team or Gym plan cannot connect an assistant. The plan owner can.
