Detailed answers about Thor, coaching workflows, gym floor hardware, athlete telemetry, and our beta rollout.

Coaches & Trainers How does Thor learn my coaching philosophies and methodologies?

Thor captures your unique programming logic through your Coaching Fingerprint, mapping your preferred movement hierarchies, exercise selections, loading parameters, recovery tolerances, and custom progression rules alongside Thor's deductive reasoning. Over time, Thor continues to reflect your distinct methodology across every workout you design.

Coaches & Trainers Does Thor ever override my coaching philosophy or change workouts without my permission?

Never. Thor operates strictly within the guardrails, percentages, and substitution criteria you define. Thor acts as an intelligent assistant paired with your athletes and clients, applying your rules to check-in telemetry in real time so they receive individualized adjustments to select from without your programming intent ever being compromised.

Coaches & Trainers How does Performify handle exercise substitutions?

Performify organizes a library of roughly 10,000 classified movements within a multi-layered relationship model. This enables Thor to identify swaps that either modify a single training variable (such as equipment, grip, or stance) or deliberately alter the stimulus, while ensuring every suggested alternative is governed by your Coaching Fingerprint.

Coaches & Trainers Can I import my existing training blocks and templates?

Yes. You can quickly map your existing multi-week cycles and program templates directly into the Whiteboard builder. Once created, training blocks can be assigned across rosters, cloned for new athletes, and auto-tempered based on individual check-in trends.

Coaches & Trainers What devices do athletes and coaches need to use Performify?

Performify runs across modern iOS and Android smartphones, tablets, and desktop browsers. Athletes log sessions and receive real-time modifications directly on their phones. For coaches, program design on the Whiteboard is built for desktop, while mobile allows you to handle everything else on the move: responding to athlete messages, reviewing logs, and making quick workout adjustments directly on the review map of an active program.

Gyms & Facilities What hardware is required to run the TV boards and front-desk arrival kiosk?

Performify is completely hardware-agnostic. Any commercial smart TV capable of casting, screen mirroring, running a browser, or connecting via HDMI (using Apple TV, Fire Stick, Chromecast, or a mini PC) can power your class and station boards. Front-desk kiosks run on standard iPads, Android tablets, or touch displays mounted at the entryway or reception desk.

Gyms & Facilities How does the front-desk kiosk handle members versus visiting drop-ins?

Members tap their name or scan a class QR code at the door to link today's session to their profile and trigger personalized workout tempering. Visiting drop-ins can register on the spot and process payment via Stripe through Performify. Regardless of whether a drop-in holds an active subscription, their complete training history remains saved to their profile.

Gyms & Facilities Can multiple coaches run different classes or open-floor training simultaneously?

Yes. Display routing can be segmented by training zone, individual coach, or class block. For instance, stations 1 through 4 can run high-performance team strength progressions while stations 5 through 8 manage functional fitness intervals, all synchronized across the same floor.

Gyms & Facilities How does Performify integrate with third-party hardware and wearables?

TitanGPS telemetry imports directly today, populating customizable analytical dashboards and real-time coach widgets. Our active integration pipeline includes recovery wearables like WHOOP and Oura, velocity-based training (VBT) sensors, force plates, and athlete monitoring systems.

Athletes What does the daily check-in look like, and how long does it take?

The daily check-in takes under 30 seconds. Athletes answer a few straightforward prompts covering sleep quality, energy levels, soreness, joint pain, nutrition, stress, and optional training notes. Thor evaluates this readiness data against the coach's master programming to calibrate the day's training volume and load.

Athletes What if an exercise calls for equipment that is taken or unavailable?

Tapping "Request modification" directly on the workout screen instantly surfaces three targeted substitutions matching the primary intent of the movement. Each option automatically recalculates volume, load, and intensity so training stimulus and fatigue curves remain managed without derailing the program.

Athletes Can I train on Performify if my coach doesn't use it yet?

Yes. Trainees can join the beta as independent athletes to take advantage of intelligent workout tempering, rest timers, and autoregulation. Athletes can also input their existing training regimens directly into Performify to experience adaptive adjustments while introducing their coach or gym to the platform.

Athletes How does Performify track my progression and personal records?

Performify records every performance metric you log, including loads, sets, repetitions, sprint times, and distances alongside intensity data. Personal milestones and records are calculated in real time, and historical performance trends continuously inform Thor's upcoming load recommendations.

Platform & Beta Is Performify free during the Beta cohort?

Yes. Selected beta cohort participants receive complimentary access to the full platform. Early user feedback directly influences feature priorities, workflow refinements, and active roadmap milestones.

Platform & Beta How is athlete check-in data handled, and is it used for medical diagnosis?

Submitting readiness check-ins is always voluntary. All biometric metrics and performance logs are protected with enterprise-grade encryption both in transit and at rest, and are utilized solely to calibrate training loads within your coach's specified guardrails. Performify is athletic performance software rather than a medical diagnostic tool; it does not diagnose, treat, or rehabilitate clinical conditions. Trainees experiencing acute or persistent pain should always seek guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.

Platform & Beta How do I get my team, athletes, or facility onboarded into the beta?

You can apply through our online beta application or schedule a 20-minute walkthrough with Zach to review your current training environment, answer technical questions, and provision accounts for your staff or roster.
