Coaching that shows up between sessions.
Pathmarker is the coaching platform that runs in the days between workouts — Strava and Garmin synced, daily logs alive, video form reviews drafted by AI, and a program your athletes actually stay with. Built so your roster sticks with the work, and renews because of it.
Your athletes train every day.
Your software lives in five different tabs.
Strava for the run. TrainingPeaks for the plan. Notion for the protocol. WhatsApp for the check-ins. A Google Sheet for the spreadsheet you swore you'd stop using. Every app captures one slice of one athlete; nothing sees the whole roster, the whole week, the whole person.
You're paid for the relationship.
Your software is built for the workout.
Solo coaching businesses live on monthly retainers. Athletes don't leave because the program is bad — they leave because somewhere around month four, the coaching stopped feeling personal, and the tools you handed them are the proof.
-
i.Your athlete trained, logged it, slipped on nutrition, slept badly — and none of it is on one screen.Strava saw the run. The food app saw the macros. The sleep tracker saw the night. You see what they remember to tell you.
-
ii.Form correction is asynchronous and lossy.Athlete sends a clip; you watch it; you write three paragraphs explaining where the bar drifted. Half of that doesn't land in text.
-
iii.Hours go to copy-pasting between tabs.Pull the workout from Strava. Note it in the spreadsheet. Cross-reference last week's notes. Type the check-in. Send via WhatsApp. Repeat thirty times.
-
iv.Programs live as PDFs that go stale the moment you send them.The athlete's life changed. The program didn't. The next revision is buried in your drafts folder.
-
v.The coach burnout is built into the workflow.Every additional athlete adds five new check-ins, three new tabs, an extra hour of evening admin. You hit your ceiling at thirty athletes — not because of programming time, but because of the stack.
Athletes who stay are athletes
who progress.
in retained revenue — what a 14-point retention lift (66% industry baseline → 80% personal-training-studio benchmark) earns a 50-athlete coach at $300/month. That's 7 athletes you would have lost, retained every year. Compounding.
of admin overhead reclaimed for a 50-athlete coach — a full coaching day each week — as Pathmarker collapses the 5+ apps described above into one platform: video form review, wearable data, check-ins and programs all in one place. Workflow estimate against the same reference roster as the renewal math above.4
Engagement is the mechanism. Retention is the proof.
Film. Talk. Done.
AI handles the rest.
The hardest part of remote coaching isn't writing the program — it's correcting form when you're not in the room. Pathmarker's video form review collapses the whole loop into ninety seconds of your time.
-
1
Film the rep.
Phone propped, athlete in frame — or a clip the athlete sent you. One take. Doesn't need to be pretty.
-
2
Talk over the clip.
Narrate what you're seeing in real time. "Hip's drifting back at the bottom." "Knee tracking is clean." "Want a quarter-inch wider stance." Just coach.
-
3
AI structures the notes.
Your narration is transcribed and parsed by a prompt tuned for form review — pulled apart into do's and don't's with timestamps back to the video.
-
4
Athlete gets the annotated clip.
Video + structured notes land in their inbox. They can rewatch a single cue without scrubbing through your whole commentary. The correction is filed under the exercise for next time.
- 0:04Bar path stays vertical through the descent.
- 0:08Knees track inside the foot at the bottom of rep 2.
- 0:14Hip hinge initiated cleanly — back stays neutral.
- 0:21Heel lifts on rep 3 — cue ankle dorsiflexion or check stance width.
- 0:27Lockout deliberate, no spinal extension.
Strava, Garmin, Whoop, Oura —
all flowing into one athlete.
You don't migrate your athletes off the tracking they love. Pathmarker pulls the data in, normalizes it onto a single longitudinal record, and gives you the trends your athlete keeps forgetting to mention.
What coaching looks like
when the session ends.
The session is one hour. The week is 167. These are the four surfaces that run in the gap — quiet by default, in front of the athlete the moment they open the app, and feeding straight back to your dashboard.
Daily check-ins & habit tracking
A day-scrubber view of training, sleep, mood, soreness, nutrition adherence. Push reminders, gentle streaks, no shame mechanics. The trends show the athlete what's actually moving the needle — and show you, on the coach dashboard, who's drifting before they tell you.
Programs that auto-assign & evolve
Build a program once. It auto-assigns to new athletes by goal, sport, and phase. Version it as your protocols evolve — existing athletes stay pinned to their version, new athletes get the latest. No more "PDF v4 final final" in your downloads folder.
Messaging & voice notes
In-app text, voice memos, and the same video-form-review pipeline as a first-class part of the conversation. Thread by athlete, not by topic — everything you've ever discussed with them is one scroll away when you're prepping for the next call.
Cohort & community (opt-in)
Run a 12-week strength block as a cohort. Athletes who start together can see each other's progress, ask each other questions, and stay accountable. Opt-in by design — never on by default, never required. Group-program retention is 51% longer than solo for a reason.
Built by the team behind Pathmarker for clinics.
Pathmarker started as the continuous-care platform for Canadian longevity clinics — the same fundamental problem: a relationship that's paid for monthly, where the relationship lives in the days between the structured touchpoints, and where existing software only sees the touchpoints.
Coaching is that problem in athletic vocabulary. The athlete's training week is the patient's healthspan year. The form-review video is the lab interpretation. The daily log is the daily log. The infrastructure we built for clinics — longitudinal records, programs that version, an AI that drafts but never decides, consent boundaries enforced in code — is the same infrastructure coaches need.
We're building the coaching surface alongside the clinic surface, with the founding coaches we sign on early shaping what ships. If you're building a roster you actually want to keep — not just scale — we'd like to build with you.

The first coaches in shape what ships.
Pre-launch. No credit card. No drip campaign. We'll reach out as we open the platform to small batches of coaches and let you in before public launch. The waitlist is genuinely how we prioritise.
