What matters for a strength coach
A general coaching app is enough to send workouts. To coach strength, check these points:
- Precise prescription: sets, reps, loads in kilos or pounds, % of 1RM or RPE.
- Data calculated automatically: e1RM, PRs, tonnage, fatigue, with no spreadsheet re-entry.
- Set-by-set athlete feedback, with video to correct technique.
- An overview of every athlete, to spot who's stalling or piling up fatigue.
- Pricing that follows the size of your business, with no features locked on small plans.
- A full mobile app for both coach and athlete.

Other options
General online coaching apps exist, mostly American and focused on fitness, nutrition or team sports. They can suit a coach who does a bit of everything.
