What is the best app for Olympic weightlifting coaches?

It depends on how you coach. CoachLogik is built around complexes, TeamBuildr suits school and team weight rooms, and TrainHeroic adds a program marketplace. Strength Academy suits coaches who write in kilograms and want a flat price. We make Strength Academy.

Can these apps base a power snatch on the snatch max?

CoachLogik (anchor lifts), TrainHeroic (Reference Max) and Strength Academy (Link to 1RM) describe this in their own docs. TeamBuildr’s 2015 tips post shows the same idea with front squat and back squat.

Which is cheapest for a small group of lifters?

Of these four, TrainHeroic lists the lowest price for small groups. It charges $9.99 a month for 1 athlete and $17.99 for up to 5, as of 16 October 2026. Strength Academy costs USD 69.50 a month whatever your roster size.

Does Strength Academy work in pounds?

Not for strength programs yet. Strength loads are in kilograms. Pounds are only in the CrossFit workout builder for now.

Best apps for Olympic weightlifting coaches

Four coaching apps we checked turn a percentage into each athlete’s weight: CoachLogik, Strength Academy, TeamBuildr and TrainHeroic. CoachLogik is built around weightlifting complexes. TeamBuildr suits school and team weight rooms. TrainHeroic adds a program marketplace. Strength Academy pairs percentage programming in kilograms with a flat price and unlimited clients.

Who made this list, and how we chose

We make Strength Academy, so we are not neutral here. Here is how we chose. On 16 October 2026 we read each app’s pricing page and its own help docs or blog. We kept the apps that meet all four criteria. We did not count claims from reviews. Apps are listed in alphabetical order, not ranked.

Selection criteria

Loads can be written as a percentage of each athlete’s max, and the app works out each athlete’s weight.
Athletes can send lift videos to the coach in the app.
Prices are public and there is a free trial, so you can test it with your own block.
The app’s own pages or help docs describe the first two points.

Strength Academy
We make this app
Best for: Coaches who write percentage blocks in kilograms and want to see volume and intensity while they write.
- Link any exercise to the max it should use, such as power snatch off the snatch. Without a link, the snatch, clean, jerk, front squat and back squat find their max by name; link the clean & jerk yourself.
- Week volume in kilograms and the average intensity of the main lifts show beside the week as you write it.
- When an athlete logs a complex such as power clean + jerk (1+2), each lift’s rep max is checked at its own rep count.
- Athletes send lift clips from their phone; you reply with slow motion, drawings and voice notes. Bar path tracing covers the snatch and the clean & jerk.
- Individual costs USD 69.50 (CHF 55.50) a month with unlimited clients. Strength loads are in kilograms only.
