01
Too heavy, too slow
Standard gym plans build slow strength. They skip the split-step and two-step shuffle drills you need to cover the kitchen line and reach the wide dink.
For pickleball players: Own the kitchen line and the third game.
A pickleball strength training program built for the court. Your coach programs lateral quickness, Achilles, shoulder and elbow durability work, and tournament-day fueling for long weekends of play.

Kitchen-Line Quickness and Lateral Power
10–50 min · from your plan
You: Shoulder is sore after yesterday's six-game tournament. Can you take the pressing out of Wednesday's session?
Your coach: Done. Wednesday's landmine press is out, the 90/90 external rotations and Y-T-Ws stay, and I added rows and pulldowns in its place.

The problem
Why generic gym plans miss the mark
02
Ignoring the Achilles and elbow
General fitness routines do not program eccentric heel drops or 90/90 shoulder work to handle the repetitive stress of racket sports and long days on the court.
03
Wrong fuel for game day
Eating standard bodybuilding meals leaves you heavy and sluggish on the court. You need a fueling strategy built for a six-game hot afternoon.
The method
How your coach builds the plan
01
Joint durability first
The plan works alongside your clinician to manage repetitive court stress. It programs eccentric wrist and heel work to build the body under your swing.
RulePain logged in your daily check-in can lighten your next session.
02
Movement before weight
You train the sport the way it is played: split steps, shuffles, single-leg balance with head turns and hop-and-stick landings for the lob that goes over you.
RuleReps to the top of the range first, then load, then complexity.
03
Tournament day fueling
Your nutrition plan is built around a daily protein target scaled to your bodyweight. It fuels the effort without leaving you heavy during match play.
RuleYou eat four meals a day with a light pre-court plate.
04
Fits your court schedule
You do not need to give up court time to train. Strength days start on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and you can move any of them in chat to keep your legs fresh for matches.
RuleThree strength sessions a week, plus 10-minute primers on court days.

Built to adapt
A plan that moves when your week does.
It reads your recovery
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect. When sleep, HRV or resting heart rate say you are under-recovered, today's session gets lighter. Planned deloads follow your coach's schedule, and you can ask for one in chat.
Chat that changes the plan
Travelling, sore, short on time, missed a meal: tell your coach at any hour. It rebuilds the week or re-portions the day, and confirms the change in chat.
Check-ins it acts on
Daily check-ins and progress photos go to your coach, and your plan is adjusted from what actually happened, not what was scheduled.

Questions
Straight answers.
Something else? Ask your coach in chat once you are in. It answers at any hour.
Do I need a full gym for this plan?
Sessions use dumbbells, bands, a step, a bench, a kettlebell and a medicine ball, and the landmine press has an incline push-up option. Missing something? Swap that exercise in chat.
Will this make me too sore to play my regular games?
The coach reads your Apple Health or Health Connect data and tracks your training fatigue. It makes today's session lighter when recovery is low, so you stay fresh for the court.
How long are the workouts?
Strength sessions take up to 50 minutes and the court-day primer about 10. The three workouts start on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and you can move them in chat around your court days.
What if I miss a meal or a workout?
You just tell your coach in the 24/7 chat. It will rebuild your training week or re-portion the rest of your four daily meals to keep you on target.
Does this replace my physical therapist?
No. This coach provides fitness and wellness guidance only. It works alongside your clinician by programming durability work, but it is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
What do I get for free?
Your account is free — browse coaches, explore the app, and connect with a coach. Each AI coach is a monthly subscription (priced by coach); cancel anytime in a tap.
Is this a real coach or an AI?
It's an AI coach built on a real training methodology for this exact niche. It writes your plans, adjusts them from your check-ins and progress, and answers questions any time — no waiting for office hours.
What if it doesn't fit my situation?
Your plan is built from YOUR intake — goals, schedule, equipment, injuries, preferences. If something doesn't fit, tell your coach in chat and it adjusts. And you can cancel any subscription anytime.
What happens to my data?
Your data stays yours. We never sell it, and you can export or delete your account at any time. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
