If you've ever rebuilt the same training week in a spreadsheet for the fifth time, you'll understand why we built this. Good Coach App is planning and communication software made for endurance coaches and personal trainers. Program running, triathlon, cycling, and swimming, as well as strength and conditioning. It replaces the spreadsheet-WhatsApp-email juggle with one clean system your athletes actually enjoy using. Some coaches manage 30, 50, even 100 athletes on it — and clubs with multiple coaches use it to run their entire operation. ------------ PLANNING Build training plans using reusable workout templates. Copy sessions across athletes, adjust on the fly, plan full cycles with races and recovery blocks. Everything your athletes need appears directly in their mobile calendar — no forwarded PDFs, no "did you get my message?" ------------ COMMUNICATION Every workout has its own chat thread. Athletes can confirm sessions, ask questions, and share how they felt — right where the context is. Post announcements to your whole roster in one tap. Push or email notifications for both you and your athletes, for everything that matters. ------------ ANALYSIS Track volume, intensity, load and elevation across your entire roster. See planned vs. actual at a glance. Connects with Garmin, Polar, Suunto, COROS, Rouvy, Wahoo, and Strava so real training data flows in automatically. AI-powered analysis helps you spot patterns and flag things worth a closer look. ------------ ALSO FOR SELF-COACHED ATHLETES Training without a coach? Good Coach App works just as well on your own. Good Coach App uses HealthKit to allow athletes to add workouts faster and easier. After entering the details of the selected workout plan, you can import the activity found in the Health as a completion of a given workout and use heart rates and route samples and share them with our coach for better workout analysis.
