Coming from Trainerize, TrueCoach or a spreadsheet?

Start with one client, not your whole roster. Everyone else stays where they are until you decide.

We'll set up your existing plan for you. Create your coach account, then send us your spreadsheet, Google Sheets link or PDF with client names removed. We set it up as a training block in your account, and you can edit it afterwards. Email it to contact@iron-stead.com.

  • Create your coach account, no card
  • Build one client's next week, or send us their current plan to set up
  • Send them your six-digit code; they log their training in the free app

02How it works

From your first block to their first logged session

You plan in the browser, your client trains with the free app, and every set comes back to you.

  1. 01You

    Build their next week.

    Weeks, days, exercises and sets, loads in kg or %. Save it as a template; the next client starts from it.

  2. 02You

    Share your six-digit coach code.

    Your client installs the free app (no card), creates an account and enters it. You accept, they confirm.

  3. 03Your client

    Logs in the gym.

    Your targets are already in the set rows. No signal? The sets stay on the phone and sync later.

  4. 04You

    Review plan against actual.

    Every set next to what you prescribed, plus their feedback in your inbox. You decide the next adjustment.

03Programming and review

Build next week with their last block beside you.

Blocks are made of weeks and training days. Start empty, from an earlier block or from a template, and open the athlete's previous blocks in a side panel while you plan.

  • Load in kg, or as a percentage of 1RM, training max or e1RM
  • Linear load ramps across weeks, plus deload weeks
  • RPE or RIR targets, rep ranges, supersets and rest times
  • A template library you copy to any client

The builder keeps working without internet, on a flight too, and syncs your changes once you are back online.

Then the whole block at a glance.

Each session shows how many prescribed sets went to plan and where it diverged. Reps, weight and RPE or RIR stay separate, so a heavy top set never hides missed reps.

  • Adherence and logging per block
  • Tap a session for the set-by-set comparison
  • Progression over a week, a month or a year

04Your clients

Give your clients an app they want to open. Free for them.

A real training app with your plan inside it, on iPhone, Android or in the browser. Their own training is theirs: if your coaching ends, they keep their workouts and history.

  • Log in the gym, even offline; it syncs later
  • Your targets and their previous values in every set row
  • Their own history, records, streaks and progress over time
  • Recognition cards from you when they hit a record
  • Chat with you, food logging if you coach nutrition

05Pricing

Your clients never pay. You pay only for active athletes.

The more athletes you coach, the less each one costs: €10 each for 1–⁠6 athletes, down to €4.49 each at 80 athletes.

06FAQ

Questions coaches ask first.

What happens after the 30 days?
Nothing is charged unless you choose a paid plan, per athlete or as a package. The trial never turns into a subscription by itself, and we email you well before it ends. Once you pay, you can cancel any time to the end of the paid period; there is no minimum term.
Can you set up my current plan for me?
Yes. Create your coach account first, then email your spreadsheet, Google Sheets link or PDF to contact@iron-stead.com with client names removed. We set it up as a training block in your account, and you can edit it afterwards.
Do my clients pay anything?
No. The athlete app is free on iPhone, Android and in the browser, with or without a coach.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Clients can train completely offline; sets are saved on the phone and sync when the connection is back. Your block builder keeps working offline too.
What if I want a second client during the trial?
The trial covers one active athlete. A second one waits in the queue until you choose a paid plan; nothing is charged automatically.
What happens to the data if a client leaves?
The athlete keeps their workouts, history and assigned plans. Your own library of blocks and templates stays with you. Without an active connection you no longer see their data.
Where is the data hosted?
The app infrastructure runs in the EU. You only see data of athletes who are actively connected to you, and they confirm the connection first.
Is it only for powerlifting?
No. Every exercise can log weight, reps, time, distance, calories, incline and machine level, so it works for general strength, bodybuilding, strongman and Hyrox too.
I have a referral code. Where does it go?
Enter it in the optional code field when you sign up, for example LOZ. It does not change the price.
