Their program
The program laid out session by session: every exercise in order, with its sets, reps and rest.
Train from the program, not from memory.
The Loenhart Training System includes a training app where athletes train from the program their coach assigned. It shows today's session and the one after it, records each set as it is done, and keeps the whole program a download away.
What athletes see
The program, and where they are in it.
An athlete opens the app to the program their coach assigned. They do not have to work out which day they are on.
Today's session
On a training day, today's session is the first thing they see, ready to start.
What comes next
The next session is shown as well, so they know what is coming before they arrive.
Logging a session
Log each set as you do it.
In the session, the athlete works through the exercises in order and logs each set as they finish it: the load they used and the reps they did.
- Each set is recorded at the time it is done, not pieced together afterwards.
- Logging a set starts the rest timer, which shows the prescribed rest and how long they have rested so far.
- Every logged set is saved to the athlete's account.
Downloading the program
The program, as a PDF.
Athletes can download their program as a PDF to print, keep on file, or train from on paper. It is the program their coach assigned, in a format that works without the app.
Coach and athlete
One program, shared by coach and athlete.
The coach decides what the athlete trains, and the athlete trains from exactly what the coach assigned.
- The coach assigns the program as a block. Once assigned, it is the program the athlete sees.
- Every program the Loenhart Training System drafts is reviewed by a coach before it is assigned to an athlete.
- The athlete logs the work against that same program, so both are working from one version of it.
iOS
An iOS app is planned.
Today the training app runs in a web browser, on a phone, tablet or computer. An iOS companion app is planned.
