For Coaches
A social network of two: you and your client.
“You mean I can have my voice in my clients' ears?”
[OWNER DECISION: confirm the coach is comfortable being quoted anonymously before launch]
Yes, you can.
Standard Gym Jockey, split in two
Everything on The workout page still happens: the guidance in the ear, the clips, the logging and the memos. Coaching divides the roles.
You define. You build the exercises, targets, progression and routines as you would your own, then hand them to a client. Your notes go with them, in your own voice if you record them. The cue that fixes their squat is spoken to them mid-set, at the rep where it matters, instead of being read once in a PDF and forgotten.
They run. Your client sees your routines in their own app, next to anything else they train, and runs them like any other workout, with the phone in their pocket and your voice in their ears.
Both of you see the results. Every session they run comes back to you: the sets, loads and reps, how hard it felt, and what they tracked. You get the same reports they do, for that client, set by set and period by period. Their reports include the sessions they trained with you; yours never mix your clients’ training into your own.
Your voice, at the right moment
A remote client runs your program from memory, or from whatever part of it they still remember by the end of the week. A client in front of you hears you. Your notes close that gap: they play at the moment they apply, in your voice, so what your client hears under the bar is what you’d have said standing beside them.
Notes aren’t only for the sets. Each exercise also has a start and an end you can record for. At the start: the warm-up you know they skip, the machine setting they never remember, the one thing to watch today. At the end: a question to answer while it’s fresh, such as how the last rep felt or where it broke down, or a reminder to record what they noticed. They can answer on the spot with a memo, hands still chalked, and you both have it.
You decide when each note plays: before the lift or after, on the first set or the last, every time or only once they’ve moved up in weight. You can cap how many play in one set, so the one that matters is heard.
Talking to each other, a little
The app has a small amount of communication built in. You can record a quick audio memo for a client, the way a lifter does mid-workout, and it’s waiting for them the next time they open a routine: a push for the week, or a correction you spotted in their numbers. They can keep it or delete it, but not edit it. They can leave a comment on a session: how it went, what hurt, what felt easy. Both are attached to the training.
You get notified when it matters. When a client finishes a workout, you know. When you change a routine or leave a memo, they know.
That’s deliberate. Gym Jockey is not a messaging platform: longer conversations belong wherever you already have them. It isn’t a billing system either. It covers the workout, done your way, and the results that come back.
Whose data is whose
This is agreed at the start. You own your routines and exercises; your client owns their training data. The invitation is also the agreement. You say what happens to your routines on their phone when coaching ends: they keep a stripped copy they can still run, or your notes and descriptions leave with you. They say what happens to their sessions on yours: kept, frozen or removed. When coaching ends, the app applies both choices automatically. Neither of you has to ask the other for an export or for data back.
No AI
There is no AI coaching in Gym Jockey and no AI-generated advice. The voice in your clients’ ears is yours.
