ATG Online Coaching 4+

Great app, great program, great support

I've been doing ATG since November 2022 and I really find this to be not only the best and most effective workout routine/system for me but also one that incorporates similar philosophies on fitness and life in general. Some may find the repetitive alternating weeks of zero or standards a bit boring but you can always choose one of the MANY other fitness or sport specific programs on the app.

I've found the standards program something I can consistently do 5 days a week, I've had more gains in the last year than I ever had in my previous decade of lifting, some injuries (not all) have disappeared completely and have not retweaked or anything and most importantly I'm feeling stronger, healthier and I'm scoring more goals on the ice.

If you're thinking about starting ATG, I'd say go for it 100%, remove your tight and weak links while gaining flexibility and athleticism.

Great Program, but needs more refinement

I’ve been running through various programs for the past few months. The programs work, there is no question on that! I think there are some app refinement things that need to happen. There are times where videos will play, but no sound and they are truncated with no cues. Other times, it’ll call for equipment a home gym may not have with no alternative solutions. But, those can be easily remedied. The app is fairly easy to navigate, you just need to make sure you’re on the right week. My largest frustration (hence the 4 stars), is that you don’t get one coach. It’s a variety of coaches. At one point, while looking for feedback on a specific item, I got the same response three times. A specific coach would understand/see where the issue resides and fix that problem. When I realized that would be the norm, it makes it tough to communicate regarding goals and critical feedback. Being able to develop a relationship allows for more honest communication and feedback, as well as those simple, minute adjustments that make all the difference in the world. I understand they are all trained in ATG, but as evidenced above, they don’t seem to know the conversations being had before.

Great program, great app experience

I’ve been doing the Zero program for 5 weeks and love it. The app is a big part of that. Probably the best fitness app I’ve used.

I’m a UX/usability consultant and critique apps for a living — and I honestly can’t find many flaws here. The content is great and there’s a lot of it, generally easy to find through the Programs and Knowledge filters.

My favorite part by far is the form coaching. The app makes it easy to record, edit and send — and tags your video to your exercise. The coach feedback has been very useful, quick, and consistent. The progress tracker is helpful and motivating though I didn’t notice that feature until a coach pointed it out.

Only big area for improvement IMO is the technique cues per exercise. At least in Zero you have to watch the video to get the cues. That’s great at first to force you to see the form in action but after a while I just want a list of cues to remind myself going into the exercise (eg flex quads). Also I suspect some of the frequently mentioned cues from coaches aren’t in the videos — would be good to capture those in some kind of easy to scan list for each exercise, at least for us technique geeks.

Overall I love it. ATG training would be great without an app but this app takes it to another level. I’m super grateful to have found this.
