Ask Max, your coach in LiftTrack
Chat with Max inside LiftTrack about your training, and have him draft a workout you approve before it lands on your Workouts tab.
On this page
Max reads your training history before he answers, so you can ask about your own week instead of describing it.
Before you start
- Premium. Without it, the Coach tab shows See plans instead of the chat.
- Optional: a coaching profile with your goals, schedule and equipment, so Max can skip the basic questions. You set it up on Home > Profile > Coach profile.
Open Max
Tap Coach and enter your message in Message Max. If your coaching profile is empty, the Coach tab shows a Set up coach profile card before Max’s greeting; tap Set up profile to fill it in.
Ask Max a question
- In Message Max, enter your question, for example “What should I train today?” or “Why did my bench stall?”
- Tap the arrow to send. While Max works, a line such as Used 6 tools shows what he checked in your data; tap it to see the list.
- Read the reply. To stop a long reply, tap the stop icon.
Max can ask you questions back, such as the weights you use. Answer in the same chat and he builds on what you said.
Have Max draft a workout
- Ask for the workout you want, with the details that matter: “Build me a 45 minute upper body dumbbell workout.”
- Answer any follow up questions. When Max has what he needs, he shows a New workout card with the workout name, each exercise and its sets, reps and weight.
- Optional: tap an exercise on the card to open its details.
- Tap Save workout to save the workout, or Not now to turn it down. The card then reads Added to Workouts or Not saved.
Max saves nothing until you tap Save workout. A saved workout shows on the Workouts tab like one you built yourself, ready to send to your Garmin or track on your phone. To change the plan before you save it, tap Change something and tell Max what to change; he proposes a new card.
To have Max plan several weeks at once, see build your program with AI.
Start a new chat
The conversation stays when you switch tabs or close LiftTrack, and Max picks up where you left off. To clear it yourself, tap the plus icon in the chat, then tap Start new chat to confirm. Workouts you already approved stay on the Workouts tab.
To change your coaching profile from the chat, tap the sliders icon next to the plus icon.
Retry a message that failed
If Max cannot be reached, the chat shows Couldn’t reach Max. Tap Try again to send the message again.
If you see You’ve reached this week’s coaching limit. It resets Monday., Max takes no more messages until Monday. The chat keeps your conversation, and every other part of LiftTrack works as usual.
