Strength & conditioning for your sport

Train like a
professional athlete.At your own club.

A professional has a strength coach writing their program, testing them and watching their load all season. Train Smart gives you that for your sport: your whole week planned around your games, with the weight for every set.

Your first month is free, with nothing to pay today. Then A$24.99/month, cancel any time. On the App Store and Google Play.

The pathway

Only professionals get the full program.

Every sport is built the same way. The higher you go, the more people are paid to look after your body. At a junior club there is nobody. At a state league club there are a few, part-time, shared across the whole list. Until you are professional, something is always limited.

What a high-performance program gives an athlete
  1. A strength program written for you
  2. Conditioning planned around your week
  3. Fitness testing
  4. Load and recovery tracking
  5. Prehab and rehab
  6. Nutrition
  • Yours, all year
  • Limited: shared, or part of the year
  • Not provided

Junior club Where everyone starts

A volunteer coach, usually a parent.

You get
Two team sessions a week. Skills and match play.
Limited
Everything on the list. Nobody at the club is there to plan your strength, your running or your recovery.

Two paths lead on from here

Path 1 · Juniors to senior sport

Senior community club Where most athletes play

A coach, and a trainer to strap your ankle on game day.

You get
Two team sessions a week and a running block in pre-season.
Limited
Everything else. The gym, testing, recovery and food are yours to work out.

The path ends here. So does the support.For most athletes there is no next level that comes with a strength coach, a testing day or a physio. They train on effort for the rest of their playing years.

Path 2 · Juniors to professional

Rep squads & academies About 14 to 18

A strength coach shared across the whole squad.

You get
Your first testing day, and a gym program handed to everyone.
Limited
The program is one sheet for the squad, and it runs only while the squad does.

State league One step below professional

Part-time staff: a strength coach and a physio.

You get
A written program, regular testing and a physio at the club.
Limited
Staff are shared across the list. Load is tracked at main sessions only, and food is mostly up to you.

Professional Full-time

A high-performance department: strength coaches, physios, a dietitian and sport scientists.

You get
An individual program, load tracked every session, and rehab on site.
Limited
Nothing. This is the only level where all six are yours.
How the gap gets closed

Train Smart

All six, yours, all year, at whatever level you play. Built for the three who go without: the player, the coach and the team.

What is typical across Australian sport. Clubs differ, and some community clubs have a good strength coach. Most do not.

The program a professional is handed.

The same six as above. Each one is a job a professional club pays someone to do.

A session as the app shows it. The weight is on every working set.
  1. Their strength coach

    Your week, written out

    Sessions for your sport, placed around your team nights and your game. Every working set has the sets, reps, tempo and the weight in kilos, worked out from your own last top set. The programs

  2. Their running coach

    Conditioning with a pace on it

    Ten plans, from the 2km and the Yo-Yo to a marathon. Each one sets this week’s pace from where you are now and where you are going. The plans

  3. Their testing day

    Testing that changes the program

    A testing session opens the program, and you retest every four weeks on your sport’s own battery. The results reset your weights and your running paces. The battery

  4. Their sport scientist

    Load and readiness

    Sleep, HRV and resting heart rate from Apple Health or Health Connect feed a readiness score that takes sets off today’s session after a bad night. You are warned when your load climbs faster than you are conditioned for. How it works

  5. Their physio

    Prehab and rehab

    Prehab for the tissue your sport punishes: Nordics, Copenhagens, neck loading for the collision codes. If something goes, a rehab block is worked into the program. How it adapts

  6. Their dietitian

    Food for the week

    Calorie and macro targets from your training load, turned into a week of meals with a cook list and a shopping list. The meal plans

Every load threshold, calorie equation and prehab protocol in the app is referenced against a published source. See all 90.

For coaches

A professional coach is still the gold standard.

No app beats a coach who knows you, and this one does not try to. An app can write the program and track the numbers. It cannot watch you squat, or tell from your face that Saturday took more out of you than you are letting on. If you can work with a qualified coach, do. Train Smart gives that coach what a professional club’s staff have on every athlete.

This week4 need you first
  1. L. HartleyACWR 1.7
    Load spike

    Last week’s load is 1.7× what they’re adapted to.

    Pull the next hard session back. Spikes above 1.5 raise injury risk regardless of how good they say they feel.

  2. S. OkaforTrending up
    Pain trending up

    Still low but higher than a week ago.

    Hold the current rehab tier rather than progressing it.

  3. M. Rossi-2 RPE vs target
    Training below the prescribed intensity

    Averaging 2 RPE points under what the block asks for.

    They are doing the sessions but not the work. Check their loads.

  4. D. Tran75% of sessions
    Slipping on completion

    Missed 1 of 4 sessions.

    Worth a conversation this week, not a program change yet.

The flags and the advice are the console’s own wording. The squad is an example.
Prescribed against actual
Train Smart wrote the session, so it knows what was meant to happen. You see whether the work was done, and whether it was done at the intensity the block asked for.
Their watch, with their permission
Sleep, HRV, resting and session heart rate become recovery and load trends. You notice an athlete is not responding to a block in week two, not week six.
Who needs you first
Load spikes, readiness, pain and missed sessions each raise a flag that says what to do about it. The list is ordered by who needs you first.
Your sessions, in their app
Write your own sessions and push them straight into a client’s app. Progression, deloads and prehab run underneath whatever you write.
Clients never pay
One flat monthly plan for you, from A$49, sized by how many clients train that month. Your clients join free with your code.
The athlete decides what is shared. Health sharing is off by default and nothing is pre-ticked. What a coach sees, and what they never do.

Already have a coach? Ask them to send a request to your @handle. Once you are paired they can write straight into your app.

For teams

Run your squad the way a professional list is run.

A community coach is responsible for forty players they see twice a week, and has no idea what any of them did in between. A club licence puts every player on a real program and gives the coaching staff one screen to see it on.

The Monday board
Who trained, who did not, who is carrying something, and who needs a conversation before Saturday.
One block for the whole squad
Build a block, set its phase and assign it to the squad. Every player’s app follows it.
Testing days
Run a testing day and record the whole squad. Benchmarks come with a minimum-detectable-change threshold, so you know which improvements are real.
One price for the club
One flat monthly price sized by how many players you have, from A$119.99 a month. Unlimited coaches and staff, and every player gets full membership at no cost to them.
