Highlights in MyGymCoach
MyGymCoach brings training information into the check-in alongside your client's answers, helping you see missed targets, tension warnings and recovery in one place.
When a client sends their weekly check-in, it already shows which lifts missed their target reps and where target-muscle tension warnings came up, next to their fatigue, recovery and motivation scores against last week. You see the problem before you read a word.
Choose progression for the program, or use Custom to set it per exercise. Targets move when the progression criteria are met, and you can hold a load or set a future target when you want to step in.
Clients save setup photos, machine settings, cues and notes on each exercise. When enabled, reminders appear at the top of the exercise. Fewer "what seat height was I on?" messages.
Clients can attach short workout clips under 20 MB each to their weekly check-in for you to view.
Your clients get training lessons from beginner to advanced inside the app, so you're not the only one explaining what progressive overload is or why fatigue matters.
Coach-Managed: you build the plan. Client-Built + Coaching: experienced clients build their own program and you coach them through check-ins. You decide who can edit training.
