Features Lacking
TrueCoach has potential, but its features feel behind other fitness apps on the market.
I switched from Built With Science because it doesn’t offer the ability to invite a coach. Having that option in TrueCoach is valuable to me, but I’d like to see a more complete workout-tracking experience alongside it.
In particular, I’d like an easier way to track sets and reps, charts that clearly show strength improvements over time, and built-in rest timers that automatically start counting down after each set. These features would make workouts more seamless and make it easier to see whether my training is producing results.
The ability to work with a coach is a good foundation, but the overall experience would be much stronger with better progress tracking and more intuitive tools to use during workouts.

Trouble loading videos
At a certain point got error message about videos not loading
Not very gym friendly
Logging reps and weights very long winded. Have the option of splitting out by the no. Reps and weight depending on exercise input.
Caliber app is much easy and better in this respect.

Timers!
Even has timers for me!
Good but rigid
As a student being trained by a coach, I find it hard to share my workouts.. I do CrossFit each morning and can’t input my exercises for my coach to review..
I have to manually click which exercises I am given which are closest to the ones I am actually doing each day..
We use Instagram instead for direct communications so I’m not sure if we are using this app properly or whether it is missing some basic infrastructure

Week 1 Day 1
Not bad not bad. I am excited to get moving and be in less pain.
Can’t create account
Wasn’t able to use the app because there is no option to create an account, only sign in. I understand this must be possible, but it would be nice to make it clear.
Figuring it out
Easy to follow, just need to a bit more practice after my first go
Easy to use!
Overall I have enjoyed my experience on the app. It’s quick, easy to navigate, and clearly organized. My only issue is the quality of my uploaded videos is poor in comparison to the video being played directly from my gallery. I’d rate 4.5 overall, as video quality is a minor concern in this instance.

Changed my Life
My wife has been living with MS for 28 (plus) years.
MS has impacted our lives in such a way as to encourage our youngest to become a fitness professional with an education that specializes in multiple disciplines.
His experience with his mother, fitness, athletics AND True Coach, all came together in a ‘Perfect Storm’ to be present at the exact moment when she needed them the most.
We’ve recently had two back-to-back MRI’s with ‘no new lesions’. In MS terms, that is great news and having True Coach both at home and in the gym has been a corner stone for all we do.
Thank you!

Great app
So easy to keep easy track of past workouts
Awesome
Very well inform of what too do, I have bad knees, and she worked with that in mind. She is awesome!
Doesn’t let me make an account
I just downloaded the app, asked me if I was a coach or client, then asks me to sign in. No option to create an account. What am I missing??
Energy tracking
Please add energy tracker through the day
Worst fitness app I’ve used to date
TrueCoach is good for being able to assign tasks and imbed videos and content, but it is the worst app I have used in terms of workout tracking. It is shocking that a lifting app does not have discrete fields for tracking sets, weights, and reps and provides no ability to track progress visually over time. The timer function is also terrible as you can’t use it while in the screen for logging your lift so you have to leave that section to use the timer then go back in to log what you’ve lifted. And if you try to update anything else in TrueCoach while the timer is running it will just stop functioning. I actually use a separate application (Hevy) to track all of my lifts and then transcribe them into TrueCoach for my coach to have access to which is a giant waste of time but I need the features that Hevy provides and TrueCoach sorely lacks.

Okay but glitching
I’m finding this app annoyingly glitchy. At one time the screen froze and even deleting and reinstalling the app didn’t help. I had to turn my iPhone off and back on and delete and install the app to get past the frozen screen.
Basic
This app is basic and does a horrible job of actually tracking your sets and reps. There are so many other better apps out there that allow you to input every set in every wrap and then calculate total weight lifted and create reports, etc.
This app has a box to free type stuff in and that’s it. Yes you can communicate with your trainer, but every apple allows you to do that. I just don’t understand how this app survives.

Great app so far and easy to use
New plan
This app is easy to use, has clear and understandable instructions for your exercises. First week, but I am enjoying it!
