The New Athletica Training Experience Is Live


Hello Reader,

The new Athletica Training Experience is now live.

This update brings together a refreshed interface, a conversational AI Coach, and Athletica U into a single, integrated training environment. The best place to begin is by taking the Tour.

Start with the Tour
From the left-hand panel, navigate to Learn → Tour. This guided walkthrough will orient you to the new experience and show you how the key parts of the platform fit together, including the Calendar, Dashboard, Roadmap, Plan Builder, Workout Wizard, Session Analysis, AI Coach, Insights, Recovery Profile, Education, and Community.

Get familiar with the new interface
After the Tour, spend a few minutes exploring the updated layout. Your training dashboard, calendar (month or week view), and insights are now designed to surface what matters most, faster and more clearly. The dashboard highlights today’s session, upcoming target events, training phase, and current state and recovery. You can access a range of customization options in your Account settings.

Chat with the AI Coach
Use the AI Coach to ask questions about your training, your sessions, or your progression. It is there to help you understand and adapt your plan, not to replace your judgment. Try querying today’s session, your recovery status, or how your training is progressing toward your goal. Customize how your AI coach interacts with you and manages your training in your AI Coach Settings.

Complete a session and review it
After your next workout, spend a moment reviewing it. Session presentation and analysis have been refined to better connect effort, intent, and outcome. You can also use your AI Coach to explore the session in more depth and understand how it fits into your broader training progression.

Explore Athletica U
Athletica U is built to help you understand why you are training the way you are. Short, focused education is now part of the platform itself. Navigate via Learn → Education, and consider starting with Certificate 1.

For coaches
This release focuses on the athlete experience. Work on a dedicated Coach UI is planned to commence in Q2 2026. We are committed to building a coach-specific experience that respects how you work and make decisions.

This launch is a foundation. We will continue to refine, improve, and build from here, guided by your feedback. If you have feedback on the new UI or your experience, please reach out via https://support.athletica.ai or email support@athletica.ai.

Thank you for training with us and for being part of the Athletica community.

Hello Reader, As our team at Athletica puts the final pieces in place for the launch of our new platform, including the new UIX, conversational AI-Coach, and Athletica U, I wanted to pause and share a broader perspective. There is a lot of noise right now around “AI coaching.” Much of it is well intentioned, but some of it risks distracting from the real work that matters: helping athletes and coaches make better decisions day to day. The piece below is longer than a typical email, but it...
