CoachCat

This apps is so good and constantly getting better. It is well worth the cost and what I love is that it syncs with my whoop and will make suggestions based on recovery and previous workload

Unless you ride with a Garmin, Hammerhead, or Wahoo, there is no way to get workout data into the app. The coaching and the plans seem fine, but they won’t be tailored to your progress unless you use one of the devices listed above. The Apple Watch and Whoop integrations that they mention in the marketing materials are only for sleep metrics.

Having CoachCat available to always answer my questions or tweak my plan has been a game changer. Its helped me focus on what I need to, how to adjust if I get sick or injured. CoachCat is crazy knowledgeable and very intuitive.

Always appreciate the quick response for support from Fastcat and quick resolution with the issue I was having.

I used the training plans this year to much success and plan to continue. The Optimize score is less useful as it requires an HRV input to be more accurate. As I don’t have one, and don’t want the extra expense of one,I feel like I’m not getting the best feedback. I also miss being able to send multi week workouts to my device. Having to send every day one by one is tedious and takes away from the ease of use of the product. It feels like the company is pulling a Google move and trying to lock users into their ecosystem.

This app is exceptional for beginners, experts, people looking for highly effective training programs+ workouts and for time-crunched athletes with unpredictable schedules. The combination of recovery and training data and guidance derived from this data is good. The real killer feature is the AI chat which leverages decades of knowledge, expertise and common real-life scenarios to provide guidance to make the most of your workouts day to day and over time. It is also good at future casting and building out daily workouts and training programs to meet your goals and make adjustments as things pop up in life—and they always do. I highly recommend this app, it delivers on the promise of AI and LLM-driven chat with a high utility and delightful user experience.

Love being able to get ton of advice and guidance. Got to spend time with Maddy! She is a rockstar, her passion and care for great outcomes is beyond words.

Did an email and then I was sent a reply within an hour and that was when I was able to check on communication to the support staff. They where quick to respond and the next one’s where quicker than that. I love the programs and I am making progress towards my goal. They have something for everyone.

I love the concept but the app isn’t reliable. On multiple occasions, the info from my Apple Watch/Health and Wahoo doesn’t upload, which throws off the data. (You can now manually input your sleep and HRV but won’t get the AI feedback if you do. There is no way to manually upload your completed workouts.) Coach cat won’t work properly without that input. When the app is working, it’s great and I appreciate the feedback from Coach Cat AI. The support team is responsive also, but without consistent syncing, the app just isn’t worth it.

It’s a good idea to incorporate AI chat into the app, but I think the stage of maturity is not there. The ai coach feels too generic and it’s basically like talking to ChatGPT, which I can get for free. I can give you several examples of the chatbot giving me wrong information, or incorrectly analyzed my training data (I did an interval training right in the SS zone, but AI was telling me it was below SS because it looked at the overall average power output instead of the interval specific ones. The premium I’m paying doesn’t feel aligned with the quality of the service I’m getting - it feels too much like a prototype, so I’m a little disappointed.
