What goes wrong without it
Most people never test anything, so they have no idea whether the last three months did something. The ones who do test usually test the wrong things — a generic battery that measures qualities their sport does not care about, disconnected from the program that follows.
What the app actually does
Every program opens with a testing session and re-tests on the same battery every four weeks. Five numbers:
- One conditioning test — the one your own program is built around. A 2km plan tests a 2km. A Bronco plan tests a Bronco. Testing something the program is not training tells you nothing about whether it worked.
- Two upper-body tests and two lower-body tests — what your sport’s own high-performance programs actually measure.
Then the results go back in. A tested one-rep max re-prices every related exercise across the program through a region calibration; a conditioning result resets the paces in your running plan.
The parts that matter
- The battery follows the sport
- AFL gets the Draft Combine reference points — 2km, running vertical, 20m sprint — with trap-bar deadlift and bench for the gym. Soccer de-emphasises barbell pressing entirely: nobody wins a header with a bench press. Netball measures landing and overhead strength. Gymnastics measures relative strength.
- It adapts to your equipment
- No barbell? The battery substitutes tests you can actually perform, rather than asking for a lift you have no way of doing.
- A 3RM is accepted anywhere a 1RM is
- Because nobody should be maxing out alone in a commercial gym. The conversion is done for you.
- A testing day, not a testing week
- The testing session displaces a session rather than being added on top — and the week it displaced can be restored.
- 24 tests in the library
- Across conditioning, upper body and lower body — with the protocol for each written out, because a test run differently is not a comparison.
Is this you?
Anyone who wants to know whether their training is working, rather than assume it.

How often does Train Smart test?
What if I cannot do one of the tests?
Do I have to max out?
