The FTRS Athletic Tracking app is the daily companion for athletes training at Futures. Built around the same sports-science principles that drive our coaching, it gives you one place to see how your sleep, nutrition, and body weight are tracking against your goals — so the numbers stay tied to the work you put in on the floor. WHAT YOU GET • Recovery — Connect your Garmin watch and we'll pull your overnight sleep in automatically from Garmin Connect™: total sleep against your nightly target, a full stage breakdown (deep, REM, light, and awake), and a hypnogram of how the night actually unfolded. The trends that matter for recovery, with nothing to log by hand. • Nutrition — Log meals in seconds. Snap a photo or describe your meal in a few words and we'll estimate the macros for you — or enter them yourself. Daily calorie and protein targets are personalized to your stats and training goal. • Weight & Trends — Track body weight over time with a smoothed 7-day rolling average, so you see the real signal under the daily noise. Adherence cards show how consistently you're hitting your nutrition and sleep targets, week over week. • Built around your goal — Whether you're cutting, maintaining, or putting on lean mass, your targets adapt to where you are and where you're trying to go. DESIGNED FOR FUTURES MEMBERS The FTRS Athletic Tracking app is an exclusive tool for active members of Futures Training Center. Account creation is restricted to current members on our roster. Not a member yet and want access? Visit futurestrainingcenter.com. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL We never sell your data, never run ads, and never share your information with advertisers. Garmin data is fetched in a secure server-to-server flow solely to display your own recovery metrics inside the app. Meal photos are used only to estimate macros — nothing else. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
