Ratings and Reviews
Good training plans but unreliable coaching
The app is good, you can choose different training plans and there is a community section.
As you go through the training plan, you can mark a training session as “done”; there is no option to record if you’ve done less of it
The strength and core sections are nice to follow along
I had good coaching initially but then the coach just stopped communicating although I upgraded to the most expensive version. So the upgrade was useless better to go for the cheapest version.
Chat with world class athletes
Quality training plans, tailored to your schedule and amended as needed is the main benefit for me at a great price as well access to the best in the business for advice, oh and the cross training videos have become a staple for me. Will be upgrading to top coaching plans when I can commit the extra time to training and accountability! The app is good, a few bugs but constantly getting better - keenly awaiting the next version. Keep up the great work!
Couldn’t get the app to work
Loaded the app, set up the monthly subscription, filled in all my goal races then waited for the plan… but it wouldn’t load, so after lots of Looking around in the settings I found an option to let the coach pick me a plan. But just the act of filling in my date of birth was so tedious I just gave up and deleted the app.
I was born in 1917, there is no option to choose the year you have to scroll through year by year,I gave up after several minutes…
Shame the idea is great but this didn’t work for me I’m afraid
