TrainingPeaks Coach Edition Alternative
TrainingPeaks gives you a calendar. You fill it — every workout, every athlete, every week. Athlin reads your athletes' Garmin and Apple Watch data, drafts the plan, and learns your preferences every time you make a change.
Why coaches look for alternatives
TrainingPeaks gives you a calendar. You fill it. Every workout, every athlete, every week. The $19.95/month platform doesn't help you write plans — it just stores them.
If you coach anything beyond running and cycling, TrainingPeaks starts feeling like a workaround. CrossFit, strength training, personal training — these aren't the sports the platform was built for.
After years of using TrainingPeaks, it still doesn't know how you coach. Every plan starts from scratch. It doesn't remember you prefer long runs on Sunday. It doesn't know you favor zone 2 in base phase.
Athlin isn't another calendar. It's an AI assistant that learns how you coach.

Founding coach program
The first coaches get Athlin for life — not "beta pricing," not a discount. Free. Forever. You help us build the product. We give you the tool.
What you get instead
Describe the goal, pick the athlete. Athlin generates the plan. You review, approve. Minutes, not hours.
Every edit teaches the AI your preferences — long run on Sunday, zone 2 in base phase, shorter tempo before race day. Plans need less and less editing over time.
The AI understands that a CrossFit athlete needs different periodization than a triathlete. It adapts to your sport — no manual template adjustment needed.
