Coaching shouldn’t live in five different apps
Most coaches still program in spreadsheets and send workouts through messengers. Athletes screenshot them, lose them, and forget to report how it went.
Results never come back
Athletes log their score right after the timer stops — and you get a notification instead of chasing them for it.
One plan doesn’t fit everyone
Create one program, then adjust it for a single athlete without touching everyone else’s version.
Everything between “here’s your workout” and “new PR”
Program builder
Write any workout format in seconds
Single lifts, supersets, EMOM, AMRAP, For Time, 21-15-9 ladders, 1RM and max-rep tests or free text. Pick exercises from a large library and add coach notes.
- 9 workout formats
- Save blocks to your library and reuse them
- Duplicate and reorder in a tap
AI from text
Paste your workout, get a ready program
Write workouts the way you’d text them — “Back squat 5-5-3-3-1 @ 70–90%, then Fran” — and AI turns them into structured workouts with the right exercises, sets and loads. You review every one before saving.
- Understands rep schemes, % of 1RM and RIR
- Recognises classics like Fran and Murph
- Works in English and Ukrainian
Sets & intensity
Pyramids, % of 1RM and RIR — set by set
Prescribe every set on its own: 5-5-3-3-1 pyramids, rep ranges, sets to failure, reps in reserve or a percentage of 1RM. Each athlete sees the exact weight, calculated from their own latest 1RM.
- Per-set reps, load, % of 1RM or RIR
- Weights from each athlete’s own 1RM
- Kilograms or pounds
Personal versions
One program, tailored to each athlete
Assign a program to the whole group, then edit it for one person — lighter loads after an injury, more volume before a competition. Everyone else keeps the original.
- Assign to one athlete or the whole group
- Ask athletes to confirm the scheduled date
- See the athlete’s past programs while you write
Groups
Program for a whole group in one tap
Put athletes into groups like “Competition team” or “Morning crew” and assign a program to the group. Add someone to the group later and they get its upcoming programs automatically — no copying.
- Groups and individual athletes in one picker
- New members join upcoming programs
- Fast search, even with hundreds of athletes
Timer & logging
Train with the timer, log every set
Start the right timer for the workout — EMOM beeps, AMRAP countdown, For Time clock — then tick off each set with the reps and weight you actually did.
- Missed a rep? Log what really happened
- “Complete as prescribed” in one tap
- RX, scaled and women’s standards
Benchmarks & tests
See real progress on the workouts that matter
Fran, Murph, Grace, Cindy and 50+ classics, plus 1RM, max-rep and rowing tests. Every attempt lands on one chart, and personal records are marked for you.
- Progress chart for every benchmark
- 1RM history for each lift
- Blind leaderboards for the group
Coach feedback
Close the loop after every session
Athletes tell the coach how the program felt — too easy, just right or too hard — and add a note. Coaches react to results and reply in a private thread with each athlete.
- Difficulty rating on every program
- Reactions and comments on results
- Notification when an athlete logs a result
Web planner
Plan on your laptop. Coach from your phone.
Open vZali in the browser and plan the whole week on a big screen: every athlete’s sessions side by side, editable right in the calendar. Free for coaches, same account as the app.
- Edit programs inline, several days at once
- Drag sessions between days
- Assign groups and see logged results
What makes vZali different
Small ideas that make a big difference on the gym floor.
Blind leaderboards
Other people’s scores unlock only after you log your own. You chase your best effort — not a number you saw before the clock started.
History in view while you program
Open an athlete’s previous programs in a side drawer while writing the next one. No more guessing what they did last week.
Try it without signing up
Plan programs, run the timer and log results as a guest — everything stays on your phone. Create a free account later and your guest programs and results come with you.
Made for English and Ukrainian
Every exercise, instruction and screen is fully translated. Coach in one language, train in another.

What is vZali?
vZali is a mobile app for writing, sharing and tracking workouts. Coaches build programs in any format and assign them to athletes; athletes train with the built-in timer, log results and follow their progress on benchmark workouts.
Where can I get the app?
vZali is on Google Play now. The iPhone app is coming to the App Store soon: leave your email and we’ll let you know the day it’s out.
Do I need a coach to use it?
No. Many people use vZali to plan their own training, run the timer and track benchmarks like Fran or Murph. Connecting with a coach is optional.
Do I have to create an account?
No. Guest mode lets you browse the library, create programs, run the timer and log results on your phone. A free account adds syncing across devices, progress charts, set-by-set logging and coaching — and everything you saved as a guest moves to it.
Is vZali free?
Yes. Planning and tracking your own training — programs, the timer, results and benchmarks — is free. Some advanced coaching features, such as AI, will be part of a paid plan.
Can I prescribe percentages of 1RM?
Yes. Set a % of 1RM for any set and each athlete sees the exact weight, calculated from their latest 1RM test. You can also prescribe RIR, rep ranges and sets to failure.
Which workout formats are supported?
Single exercises with per-set reps and loads, supersets, EMOM, AMRAP, For Time, rep ladders like 21-15-9, 1-rep-max tests, max-rep tests and free-text workouts.
How do coaches and athletes connect?
A coach sends a one-time invite link. Once the athlete accepts, the coach can assign programs and see logged results, and the athlete can share their own programs with the coach.
Can I use vZali on my computer?
Yes. Coaches can sign in at app.vzali.com and plan the training week on a big screen with the same account as the mobile app. Athletes train with the iPhone or Android app.
Can I assign a program to a group of athletes?
