How to use Cobalt

Two short paths: one if you coach, one if you train with a coach. Follow the steps in order the first time, then come back to the one you need.

For coaches

The console and the app show the same clients, templates and plans. Use whichever is at hand.

  1. Create your account

    Console App

    Choose Create an account at the top of this page, or Create account in the app. Google and Apple sign-in work too. We email you a 6-digit code: enter it and choose Confirm email. The code is valid for 30 minutes, and Send a new code gets you another.

  2. Build a workout template

    Console App

    In Templates, choose New template and add exercises from the library. Give each one sets, reps and a weight. Leave the weight empty for bodyweight, and write reps as a range such as 8-12 if you prefer. Superset with the exercise above in the console, or Make superset in the app, joins two exercises. Save it once and reuse it for every client.

  3. Invite a client

    Console App

    In the console, open Invites and choose Create invite. You get a 10-character code to send your client, or we can email it for you. It is shown only once, so copy it before you choose I have saved the code. In the app, the invite button on Clients gives you a link to Share as well as the code. An invite is valid for 7 days unless you choose otherwise.

  4. Schedule workouts

    Console App

    Open the client and choose Assign a workout, or click a day in Calendar. Pick a template, then One day for a single session or Repeats weekly to choose weekdays and a start date. In the app these are One-off and Repeating. To change one session without touching the rest, open it to skip it, move it, swap the workout or change that day's targets.

  5. Plan meals

    Console App

    In Templates, switch to Meal plans and choose New meal plan: meals with times, foods and amounts, and macros if you track them. Assign it from the client's Nutrition tab, or with Assign a meal plan in the app. The client gets their own copy, so you can tailor it without changing the template, and you see which meals they ate, swapped or skipped.

  6. Follow progress and stay in touch

    Console App

    Each client has Progress, Logs and Photos: body weight, every finished workout, and a chart for each exercise from total volume to estimated one-rep max. Write to them in Messages, with a photo if it helps. A workout logged without signal appears once their phone reconnects.

Your clients use the app

The console is for coaches. Clients join with your invite and do everything in the Cobalt app, and what they log shows up on your side.

Coaching as a team

A gym owner invites coaches from Gym, and a coach joins from Account with the code. Every coach keeps their own client list.

For clients

Everything happens in the Cobalt app. All you need is the invitation from your coach.

  1. Accept your coach's invitation

    App

    Your coach sends you a link or a 10-character code. Open the link on your phone and choose Accept invite. With a code, choose Have an invite code? on the sign-in screen and paste it. Create your account with your email and a password. Already have an account? Use Sign in and accept.

  2. Start today's workout

    App

    Home shows what your coach planned for today. Choose Start on Today's workout, complete each set as you go, and finish when you are done. A workout your coach did not plan can be logged too.

  3. Train without signal

    App

    You do not need a connection to log. A workout saves on your phone and shows Waiting to sync in History until you are back online, then uploads by itself. Sync in Settings shows what is still waiting, with a Sync now button.

  4. Follow your meal plan

    App

    Today's meals on Home lists what your coach planned. Mark each meal Ate it, or Swapped or skipped and say what you had instead. Past days lock, so mark meals on the day.

  5. Track your body

    App

    In Progress, add a New measurement with your weight and, if you like, your waist, hips, thigh and arm. Photos keeps your progress pictures. Your coach sees your measurements and photos, and you both see charts of your weight and of each exercise.

  6. Message your coach

    App

    Messages keeps the conversation next to your training. You can send a photo as well.

Changing coach

Leave coach under Profile in Settings ends the link to your coach. Your workouts and measurements stay with you, ready for the next invite.

Leaving Cobalt

Delete account in Settings deletes your account and your data straight away, once you confirm with your password or a code we email you.
