Trainkeep is where a coach and their athletes work together. The coach writes the plan; the athlete trains it, logs it and sends it back — and both of you see the same thing. FOR ATHLETES Train from the plan your coach wrote Today's session is on the home screen. Log it set by set — weight and reps, one thumb, between sets. Add sets, drop the ones you skipped, swap an exercise, or start a free session your coach never planned. The plan is a suggestion; your log is what actually happened. Works with no signal Every set is saved on your phone first. Train in a basement gym or on a plane — your session goes out on its own when you are back online. Your training plan, meal plan and supplements open offline too. Eat from the plan Your coach's meal plan — meals, options, portions and macros — in the same app you train with, and your supplement protocol: tick each one off as you take it, even with no signal.
