How to connect with a coach: link, code or email invitation
A coach invites an athlete with a link, an eight-character code or an invitation to their email address. The athlete joins at once, and neither side needs a subscription.
A coach can invite you in three ways: with a link, with an eight-character code or with an invitation to your email address. You join at once — the coach doesn't have to confirm anything.
For athletes
By link
Open the link your coach sent you.
- If you are signed in, click Join. The coach is connected, and you see "You are connected to" with the coach's name.
- If you don't have an account yet, click Join and sign up. If you do, click Already have an account? Sign in. The invitation is kept, and the coach is connected as soon as you are in.
Sign up in the same browser where you opened the link: the invitation is remembered there. If something goes wrong, connect by code — it is the end of the link.
By code
Your coach gives you an eight-character code, for example K7MX-3QPA.
- Open Settings and go to the Coach tab.
- Under Connect a coach by code, enter the code and click Connect. Letter case, spaces and dashes don't matter.
- Check the coach's card and click Join.
By email invitation
If your coach invited your email address, the Coach invitation window appears when you sign in with that address, on any device. Click Join or Decline. If you close the window, it comes back the next time you open the app.
No email is sent: the invitation is only in the app.
What you are asked before joining
- Health data. Until you allow us to work with your health data, the app is closed and the invitation waits. See Your coach can't see you.
- AI and your data. If you haven't allowed AI to work with your data, this window opens before you join. You join the coach whatever you answer, but without your consent your coach's assistant and MCP won't see you.
- School. If the coach works at a school, the invitation says so. The school's management will see your workouts and data — view only, without your conversations with the coach.
For coaches
Link and code
- Open Athletes and click New athlete (on a narrow screen, only its icon is shown).
- In Invite athletes, the Link for athletes block has Copy link and Copy code.
- Send the link to the athlete or tell them the code. The athlete joins at once, and you get a "New athlete" notification.
You have one shared link. It works for any number of athletes and doesn't expire. New link issues a new link and code: the old ones stop working at once, and athletes already connected stay with you.
If you open your own link, the app offers Add myself as an athlete.
Invite by email
In Invite by email, enter the athlete's address and click Invite. The athlete sees the invitation when they sign in with this address. No email is sent, so pass the invitation link on to the athlete yourself.
Your invitations and their status are under Personal invitations, and Withdraw cancels one. A personal invitation works once: whoever opens it first joins.
What the coach sees
Clicking an athlete opens their calendar. The coach always sees the athlete's whole calendar.
You decide when the athlete sees what you add. By default, it is from the Monday of the item's week. To change this, open Settings → Settings tab → When the athlete sees what is new in the calendar: From the Monday of its week, From the Sunday before its week, Right away or Hidden until I open it. Items already in the calendar don't change.
To change one item, use the eye icon on its card: Always show, Always hide, Hide until Sunday, Hide until Monday or Hide until date. For a day or a week, the same options are under Visibility in the context menu. An item the athlete already sees can't be hidden again if it has the athlete's result or a conversation.
Several coaches
An athlete can have more than one coach. They are all on the Coach tab in Settings, and you can connect one more by code there.
How to disconnect
- Athlete: Settings → Coach → Unlink next to the coach, then Yes.
- Coach: open the menu in the athlete's row → Block → Yes. This item works while you have an active coach subscription.
Nobody gets a notification. If the coach paid for the athlete's subscription, it won't renew and lasts until the end of the paid period. To connect again, use any working link or code from the coach.
FAQ
- Does the code expire?
- No. The link and the code work until the coach issues a new link. Athletes who have already joined stay with the coach.
- Do I need a subscription to connect with a coach?
- No. An athlete only needs an account, and a coach needs a coach account. Connecting doesn't require an active subscription.
- Can I train with more than one coach?
- Yes. All your coaches are listed in Settings, on the Coach tab, and you can connect one more by code there.
- The app says the invitation has already been used. What now?
- A personal invitation works only once. Ask your coach for their shared link or code: they work for any number of athletes.
