The Endless Programming Trap

Bridge requires constant programming. Trainerize requires constant programming. TrainHeroic requires constant programming. You name the app, and I'll show you the same thing.

💡 Key Insight: Most training apps are just tools for designing workouts. That is fine if all you want is a better place to write exercises, sets, and reps.

But that is not a training system.
