Embedded Coaching Videos in Coaching Notes
I’d like to suggest a feature that I think would be extremely valuable for coaches and clients: the ability to add a built-in video directly to the Coaching Notes for an individual workout.
The important part is that this would need to be a native TrainHeroic feature, not a Loom video, external link, or separate video platform. When programming a workout, the coach would simply have an option to “Add Video Note” for that specific training day. The coach could record or upload a short video directly through TrainHeroic, and that video would then automatically appear within the client’s workout in the TrainHeroic app.
The client could simply open the workout, click play, and get a quick overview of how to approach that specific session without ever leaving the app.
This would allow coaches to explain things that are difficult to communicate through written notes alone, such as:
How to approach the overall workout
Superset structure and transitions
Rest periods
Expected intensity and effort
Pacing
Specific coaching cues
How certain exercises should be approached that day
Any adjustments or considerations specific to the workout
I think this would make Coaching Notes significantly more valuable and create a much more hands-on coaching experience for online clients. It would essentially allow coaches to provide a quick video briefing for each workout while keeping the entire coaching experience within the TrainHeroic system for both the coach and the client.
The goal isn’t simply to add video, it’s to make video coaching notes a native part of the workout experience.
