Keep training while you heal
An injury does not mean an injured everything. Train Smart keeps the rest of the program running, loads what you can load, and adjusts as the injury changes.
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.
What goes wrong without it
When something goes, most people do one of two things: stop training entirely for six weeks, or push through and make it worse. Both end in a longer absence than the injury needed.
The reason is that there is no middle option available. Modifying a program around an injury, week by week, as the injury changes, is exactly what a physio and an S&C coach would do together — and almost nobody has both.
What the app actually does
An intake questionnaire asks the questions that actually determine what your program can safely contain: what and where, how it happened, how long ago, how irritable it is, how much load it currently tolerates, and what you have been cleared for.
From that, Train Smart:
- builds a rehab block and weaves it into your existing gym sessions rather than replacing them;
- modifies or swaps exercises that load the injured area beyond what it tolerates;
- adjusts your conditioning — swapping impact for a bike or rower where that is the issue;
- lightens the rest of the program by an amount that reflects how much the injury is costing you;
- asks a short pain check-in after each session, and progresses or holds the rehab block on the answers.
The parts that matter
- Eleven body areas, seven injury types
- Hamstring, knee, calf, ankle/foot, groin/adductor, hip, lower back, shoulder, elbow/wrist, neck and other — crossed with strain, sprain, tendon pain, contusion, overuse, post-surgery or unsure.
- Irritability drives the dose
- Highly irritable tissue gets smaller doses more often. Tissue that settles quickly can take more in one go. This is the variable most self-directed rehab ignores.
- It progresses on your answers
- Pain during, pain after and pain the next morning are three different signals. The end-of-session check-in captures them and the rehab block moves — or does not — on the trend.
- Your physio’s exercises, in your sessions
- Type in the exercises your physio gave you, or photograph the sheet and have it read. Each one is filed under the rehab stage it belongs to and turns up in your gym sessions while you are at that stage.
- Your clinician’s return date sets the pace
- If a clinician has given you a return-to-play date, enter it and the stages are paced to it — it can hold a stage back, never push one forward. Add a scan report that states the diagnosis and the app shows, beside that date, the range published studies report for an injury of that kind. It is information to take back to your clinician, not a second opinion, and it says so every time.
- Soreness tracking
- After a session that was unusually hard for you, the app asks where you are sore. In a club, that is shared with staff under an explicit consent category, and never otherwise.
- Prehab, before you need rehab
- Every program carries a prehab block matched to the region of that session and the tissue your sport punishes — Nordic curls, Copenhagen adductor work, neck loading for the collision codes.
