The problem

I was finding it extremely time-consuming to design individualized training programs for my gym members and athletes. It was difficult to effectively monitor how well they were following the plans and progressing throughout their program, especially as numbers were increasing.

The solution

Having all the tools I need in one place has made my programme design much more streamlined, especially the speed at making slight alterations to programmes for athletes with different needs such as injury rehabilitation that need to be integrated into a plan. Being able to also see reports so quickly on compliance and individual progressions on certain lifts was a game changer in terms of progressing clients and athletes at the correct time.

What we love

Aspire members and athletes love having access to personalised technique videos to remind them of the exercise and the main coaching points. Having access to quick reports on compliance, player training load and progress reports for all exercises has been very welcome with all managers of sports teams that I have worked with and has helped us manipulate training plans accordingly.
