Athlete Made Easy

Read full description

Athlete Made Easy is training built the way athletes train. Open the app and today's session is waiting: the exercises, the sets, the reps and the weight. Do it, log it, and the app plans your next one. IT SETS YOUR WEIGHTS FOR YOU Log what you lifted and how many reps you got. Next time, the app tells you what to do: more reps, more weight, or hold steady. Your warm-up sets are worked out from that day's weight. No spreadsheets, no guessing. LOG A SET IN ONE TAP Every exercise is a card with its sets. Tap Done and the set is logged, and your rest starts. On iOS 17.2 and later your workout also shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: see your set, tap Done and watch your rest count down without opening the app. Add the widget to see today's workout and your team's next event at a glance. Timed holds and cardio count down on the Lock Screen too. ONE PROGRAM FOR THE ALL-AROUND ATHLETE Think general fitness, through the eyes of an athlete. The Athlete Made Easy program is a repeating cycle of jump days, sprint days, lower, upper and single-leg strength days, flexibility and easy cardio, and rest days that are actually easy. It's built to make you jump higher, get faster and get stronger. Repeat it as long as your numbers keep climbing. IT FITS YOUR GYM AND YOUR WEEK Pick your training days. Tell the app what your gym has and it swaps lifts to match. Miss a session and it moves to your next training day, so nothing gets skipped. YOUR JUMP KEEPS SCORE Your first jump day is your starting jump test. You test again after each deload, and any time six weeks have gone by since your last test. On any jump day you can log your best. How high you jump is the clearest sign you're getting more athletic, so you can see the work paying off. SEE IT WORKING Progress tracks what makes you athletic: your best jump, your strength for your size, your bounce, your speed and your body composition. See where you started and where you are now. AN AME COACH WHEN YOU WANT ONE AME 1-on-1 Coaching gives you your own AME coach: someone who knows you and answers you, by message and video. Ask questions, send videos of your sets and jumps, and get your program changed to fit you. It's billed on our website, never in the app. TRAIN AS A TEAM Team coaches run their team in the app for free: a join code, a team calendar, one program for the whole team and a team chat. Everyone trains on their own account, and a team coach's Team widget shows how many trained today. Parents can link their account to follow a kid's training, with a Kids widget of their own. NUTRITION WITHOUT THE HASSLE Search a food, scan a barcode, or take a photo of your meal or a Nutrition Facts label. Log a meal in seconds. See your calories and macros for the day. MADE BY AN ATHLETE Athlete Made Easy is built by a pro dunker whose best vertical is 47 inches. He trains on the same program you do. FREE FOR GOOD The app and every program are free, and so is everything a team coach does with a team. No ads. We never sell your data. WHO IT'S FOR High school and college athletes, whatever you play. Team coaches who want a more athletic team. Anyone who wants to train like an athlete instead of guessing at the gym. Your data stays yours. Delete your account and your personal details and videos are removed. Our Privacy Policy explains what's kept without your name on it.

Vertical Jump Training made Fun. Vertly is your personal vertical jump coach, led by Cam Hazzard, a pro dunker who tested a 50 inch vertical while working two jobs and going to school full time. Not by grinding for hours. By training smart and enjoying the climb. Jumping high isn't genetics. It's a skill. Change the small things and anyone can get off the ground. Vertly gives you the plan, the coach, and a reason to keep showing up. WHAT YOU GET - Your own AI coach, in Cam's voice. Ask anything about jumping higher, your training, or your plan, and get a real answer any time. - Air Levels. Your vertical shown as an altimeter, so you can watch every inch you climb and see how close you are to the rim. - Smart training plans built around your body, your gear, and your goal. Efficient, not obsessive. - The Climb. Your whole journey, from day one to your next ceiling, as a road you actually move along. - A weight room and lift log that keeps the work honest. - Your dunk collection. Earn and collect cards as you level up. HONEST TO THE INCH The coach can only help with the truth, so Vertly is built on real numbers. No inflation, no fake guarantees, no plus fifteen inches in three months. Just the next right step, over and over, until you are off the ground. Vertly is free to start. Log one honest jump and let's find your ceiling. "I believe vertical jump training is something all athletes should be genuinely excited to train."
