Hi, I'm Nigel Schat, a personal trainer and coach. This app is the digital home for my 1-on-1 coaching clients. It is not a generic fitness app: you only get access to personal content after I onboard you as a client. What you get here as my client: TRAINING - Your own training block (Week 1 to 4), hand-programmed and reviewed by me, with built-in progression - An exercise library with my own coaching cues and technique notes - A training logger for sets, reps and weight, so I see exactly how you're performing and can adjust - The option to create your own extra workouts alongside the plan we build together NUTRITION - Food logging by search, barcode or a photo of your plate, with macro estimates - Personal macro targets and meal plans I design around your goal - A calm weekly overview that rewards consistency, not perfection COACHING - Direct chat with me, your coach, no ticket system, just Nigel - Weekly check-ins, progress photos and habit tracking - Optional cycle-aware training guidance for clients who want it A note on AI: a few features (a first training-plan draft and photo-of-plate analysis) are AI-assisted to save time, but I personally review and approve what reaches you, and you are always told when AI is involved. This app is intended exclusively for people actively coached by me. If you are not a client, you will see an empty programme after signing in. Coaching is arranged and paid for separately, directly with me, and there are no purchases inside the app. About me: I have coached clients in strength, calisthenics and hybrid training for several years, in the Netherlands and Bali. My focus is sustainable progression, no extreme plans, just consistent output. More on my method at bynigel.fit

CaliPro scores your calisthenics form. Film a hold of your planche or front lever and get a precise 1 to 100 score in seconds, measured on your real joint angles. START IN SECONDS Film your first hold and see your form scored in the first minute, before you even create an account. HOW IT WORKS Form analysis. On-device pose tracking measures every joint angle, your hip line, scapula position, and the bow of your spine. Your whole hold is compared frame by frame to clean reference form and scored across 6 aspects. Form report. After every analysis you get a specific breakdown: what is holding your score back, what to drill, and the single fix to work on next. It reads the exact angles we measured, so the feedback fits your body. Rep counting. Say your set out loud, film it, and CaliPro counts every rep and scores the form on each one. You see which reps stayed clean and which ones broke down. Best rep, every skill. Your home screen shows your best rep for every skill, with a full breakdown and your next priority fix.
