How it looks

One evening. Two sides.

Lena logs her food and trains, Marcus sees it right away and plans her next week.

For athletes

Nutrition, training, progress.

One sentence to Ava logs your food. Training set by set.

Start for free

Free, Ava included. Premium at the launch price of €2.99 a month, incl. VAT.

An example with sample data: Lena writes Ava one sentence, and her dinner is logged. Then she finishes her workout set by set and sets a new record. Her coach Marcus sees both straight away and sends her the plan for next week, which arrives as a notification on her phone.

For coaches

Booked, paid, planned.

Booked and paid online or in person. Ava drafts the plans.

Start free as a coach

Start at €0. Pro €14.99, Elite €29.99 a month, at the launch price incl. VAT.

An example with sample data: Coach Marcus gets a booking from Jonas, €65 paid. Lena's dinner and her new record show up in his activity stream, without a screenshot. Ava drafts Lena's next plan, and Marcus approves it with one click.
