Training programmes

Strength training programmes built in minutes.

Workouts, exercises, sets, tempo and rest: you build the programme on desktop or phone, your athlete follows it workout by workout, and every set comes back to you.

Included in every plan, including the free plan.

Every exercise set up down to the last detail

175 exercises in English, sorted by muscle group and equipment, almost all with a demo image. For each one, you set what matters.

  • Sets, reps and target weight
  • Rest times and tempo
  • Reps in reserve (RIR), from 0 to 5
  • Supersets and chained circuits
  • Time for planks, targets for cardio
  • Technique notes for the athlete

Multi-week blocks, with their deload

You give the programme a start date and a length in weeks, and place the deload week at the weight percentage you choose. The athlete always knows where they are in their block.

Your existing programmes, imported in one go

Pro plan: drop in the programme you already have, as a PDF, Excel, Word, Google Sheets or a photo of a sheet. The AI reads it and copies the workouts, matches each exercise to the library and picks up the sets, rest, RIR, tempo and supersets. You review, fix anything if needed, and nothing is created until you confirm.

  • Tables, coach notation (A1, B1/B2), percentages of 1RM, RPE
  • A misread exercise is swapped in one tap
  • A spreadsheet with programme, meal plan and tracking: only the training is imported

Your templates, ready to reuse

Save a programme to your library and assign it in one go: each athlete gets their own copy, which you then adjust. A workout can be duplicated, a programme copied to another athlete, and five templates are provided to get started (Push / Pull / Legs, Upper / Lower, Full Body, Glutes).

The workout, athlete side

Your athlete logs each set in two taps, and everything they do comes back to you.

  • Today’s weight suggested from their last workouts, a helper you can turn off
  • The rest timer, which keeps running when the app is closed and alerts you with a notification
  • PRs detected and celebrated (estimated 1RM)
  • Suggested warm-up sets and a plate calculator

You see who’s really training

Every completed workout lands in your activity feed. Strength progress is tracked by exercise and muscle group, and the calendar (Starter plan) shows the week of all your athletes at a glance.

Questions

Programmes: your questions

How many exercises are in the library?

175 exercises in English, sorted into 11 muscle groups and 7 equipment types, almost all with a demo image. You can add your own visuals to each exercise.

Can I add my own exercise videos?

Yes, from the Starter plan: upload your image, GIF or video to any exercise card, and your athletes see it during the workout.

Can I import the programmes I already have?

Yes, with the Pro plan: upload your PDF, Excel or Word file, a Google Sheets link or a photo, and the AI copies your workouts and exercises as they are, without making anything up. You review the draft and approve it; the document isn’t kept.

Are the suggested weights mandatory?

No. The app suggests increasing, keeping or lowering the weight based on recent workouts, but you can turn this off for each athlete, and the athlete always enters the weight they actually used.

Can I build programmes on a computer?

Yes. ALTERO also opens on a computer, with a layout designed for the big screen: you build programmes at your desk, your athletes follow them on their phone.
