Build your fitness coaching app.

How to build your fitness coaching app

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Connect training goals, exercise logs and coach feedback to the next session.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the coach records the athlete alias and how the athlete reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your fitness coaching app

• Keep the athlete alias in context

  Keep athlete alias, coach goal, session, exercise log, feedback and next review together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A participant reports discomfort in a fictional log. Flag the note for appropriate human handling instead of generating an automatic training progression.

• Keep next review visible

  Keep the logged observation separate from the coach's next training decision.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the coach a working view and the athlete a review view. Keep athlete alias and coach goal attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
