As a strength coach, managing athlete data effectively is crucial to delivering results. While most coaches juggle multiple apps, spreadsheets, and messaging platforms, Metric's Coach Mode consolidates everything into one streamlined system. Whether you're coaching in-person, managing a team, or training remote clients, Metric has you covered.
Requires a Metric Pro Coach membership, subscription plans available directly in the Metric app.
Getting started with Metric's coaching features is simple. Navigate to the Account tab and activate the Coach Mode toggle. This transforms Metric from an individual workout planning and barbell tracking app into a comprehensive coaching tool, enabling you to manage multiple athletes, run group sessions, and track everyone's progress from a single device.
Adding athletes to your organization takes just a few steps:
If your invited athlete already uses Metric, ensure you enter the email associated with their existing account. This allows them to join your organization while maintaining their training history. Once added, athletes receive an email confirmation and their training profile will now sync to your coaching account.
Coach Mode streamlines group training sessions by allowing you to manage multiple athletes from a single device. Start a workout, select an athlete, and either begin with an empty workout or load a training template. Athletes can be easily switched by tapping profile pictures at the top of the screen, and new athletes can be added to the training flow on that device at any time.
This efficient workflow lets you focus on coaching while Metric handles data collection and organization behind the scenes.
Every athlete in your organization receives full Pro access on their own device, included in your Pro Coach membership. you can choose to share this with them allowing them to log workouts remotely on their own device.
If an athlete has already registered their Metric profile before joining your organization, then they will be set up automatically, for athletes new to Metric they will need to activate their account and set a password. This is done in the Metric app on their device by going to Login, Forgot password, and then requesting a reset link.
As your remote athletes log their workouts, their data appears in real-time on your coaching dashboard. Note that training templates need to be shared manually, and since videos are stored locally, athletes need to export and share any training footage they want you to review.
Coach Mode provides comprehensive visibility into your athletes' development through three main areas: performance analytics, training history, and video analysis. With Coach Mode active, you can switch between athletes in the performance and history tabs to review their training.
Performance analytics
The Performance tab offers detailed progress charts for every exercise your athletes perform. You can analyze their development through various metrics including best weights lifted, relative strength progression, power output trends, and estimated 1RM changes. A complete record of personal bests is also maintained, tracking everything from load and power records to velocity benchmarks at specific weights.
Training history
Check in to see if your athletes are completing their workouts, dive into the specifics of any session to review details and analyze individual sets. Convert these past workouts into templates for reuse in future programming.
Video Library
Videos are automatically organized and can be easily filtered by exercise or athlete name. This makes it simple to review technique development over time and provide detailed form feedback to your athletes.
NOTE: Videos in the library are only those stored locally on a specific device.
Coaches can easily manage their own workout alongside their athletes' by toggling Coach Mode off.
This instantly switches the app's focus to your own training profile and hides the coach features.
These coaching features are available with a Metric Pro Coach membership, which you can subscribe to within the app. For larger teams needing expanded athlete roster sizes, custom solutions are available - contact us at Metric for details and custom plans for larger organizations.
Metric's Coach Mode transforms how you manage your athletes' training, whether they train in person or remotely. By automating velocity tracking and streamlining workout management into one simple platform, you can focus on what matters most - coaching your athletes.
