The coach guide
Plan your clients' training in Kinetic. Free for you, no accounts for anyone.
Everything you need to build a week, send it, and see how it went. Share this page or print it for a colleague.
01 What Kinetic is for coaches
You plan the week. Your client follows it in the Kinetic app on their phone and watch. Nobody signs up for anything.
A free plan builder
Build in your browser. It saves on your device as you go, and you download one plan file when you're done.
Clients follow in the app
Kinetic shows today's session on Home, the whole week in the Planner, and starts each workout with your targets filled in.
No accounts, no logins
Plans travel as files. You send them the way you already reach your client, and they go nowhere else.
02 Build → Send → Your client imports
STEP 1
Build a week
Open the plan builder, name the plan and pick a start date. Add runs, lifts, Pilates, stretching and rest days, with a target and a note for each day. Work in km and kg or mi and lb; your client sees their own units.
Prefer your phone? The same plans can be built in Kinetic's Planner and sent with Share Plan.
STEP 2
Send one file
Download plan gives you a single .kinetic-plan file. Attach it to a message, an email or a chat app, just like a PDF.
STEP 3
Your client taps it
Kinetic opens and shows a preview. One tap on ADD TO PLANNER and the plan lands in their Planner. Your client needs Kinetic installed; importing and following a plan is free.
03 What your client sees
Today's session on Home with a START button that opens the workout with your target filled in. On Apple Watch, every planned day is there too, even with the phone left at home.
Distances and weights show in your client's own units: 400 m shows as 0.25 mi, 60 kg as 132 lb.
Heart-rate zones use the zones in your client's own Settings, so you never need their numbers.
A day ticks itself when your client saves that workout in Kinetic. Past days with nothing saved show as missed.
04 Getting the week back
FREE + PRO
At the end of the week your client taps Share My Week in the Planner. Everyone can send you a checkmark summary of the week for free.
With Kinetic Pro they can send the full week as a message with a report link, or as a week file for an AI, and choose what to include: zones, strength sets and weights, RPE and notes. PRO

See my week: https://kineticpacer.com/r#w1.…
You open the report link in your browser, or drop the week files of several weeks on the report page to see trends. Nothing is uploaded.
05 Updating a plan
Send the next week, or a change, as a new file. Your client's app updates the same plan instead of adding a second one.
- In the plan builder, choose Open a .kinetic-plan file and pick the file you sent last time. Your browser also keeps your latest work on this device.
- Change days or add the next week, then Download plan again and send it the same way.
- Your client taps it. Upcoming days are replaced; past days and everything they logged stay as they are.
- If your client changed a day that you also changed, Kinetic asks them per day: Keep mine or Use coach's.
06 The AI route
A .kinetic-plan file is plain JSON. Give an AI the plan-file guide and this prompt, then open the file in Kinetic and check the preview before you send it.
Build a one-week training plan for my client as a Kinetic .kinetic-plan file. Use the Kinetic plan-file guide: keys, activities, units and limits. Return JSON only.
You can also open an AI-written file in the plan builder to check and tidy it before sending.
07 FAQ
What does it cost me as a coach?
Nothing. The plan builder is free and needs no account.
What does it cost my clients?
Following plans is free, and so is sending a checkmark summary of the week. The full week report is Kinetic Pro.
Do my clients or I need an account?
No. You build in your browser and download a file. Your client installs Kinetic and taps the file.
Does client data go through your servers?
No. Plans and weeks are files made on your device or your client's phone, and they go only where you or your client send them. The only thing the web builder sends us is what you type into the exercise search.
Which activities can a plan include?
Strength, Running, Walking, Cycling, HIIT, Yoga, Pilates, Stretching, rest days.
Where are the exercise instructions and videos?
Exercise instructions and demo videos are in the Kinetic app. The builder shows exercise names only, and you can add your own custom exercises.
Is there a live dashboard of my clients?
No. Kinetic has no coach accounts and no live view of a client. Your client sends you their week when they choose, and the coach name on a plan is a label you type that Kinetic does not verify.
