Answers about training and about EntrenAI

The questions we get most, answered with facts from the app: what is free and what is not, which sports each plan covers, and how it differs from other apps.

  • Is there a free training app with a personalized plan?

    Almost none give a personalized plan for free forever, and EntrenAI does not either. What is free is workout logging: your sets, history, streak, ranking and feed. The personalized plan (EntrenAI Pro) costs €7.99/month or €23.99/year with a 7-day trial and no card; when the trial ends you stay on the free plan.

  • Runna alternatives: what to choose by what you train

    If you only run, Runna is built for that and it is hard for an alternative to beat it at running. Alternatives make sense in three cases: if you also lift, ride or train for HYROX (EntrenAI), if you want an adaptive endurance plan with more track record (Athletica), or if you prefer an AI on top of your watch data (IntervalCoach, Humango).

  • What is the best app to train for HYROX?

    The best one trains what the race asks for at the same time: 8 km of running, the 8 stations and accumulated fatigue, with simulations before race day. EntrenAI has a HYROX plan with three levels, simulations and doubles, and coordinates it with your strength and running; if you want a HYROX-only app, the comparison with Repz explains the differences.

  • Which training app works for preparing a triathlon?

    The one that spreads swimming, cycling and running well across the same week and schedules bricks (bike followed by run) without the disciplines getting in each other's way. EntrenAI has a triathlon plan from sprint to Ironman, with the three disciplines coordinated; it is paid, with a 7-day trial, and it has no watch app of its own.

  • Which app should I use for a marathon training plan?

    Use one that calculates your paces from a recent result, builds long runs progressively, schedules down weeks and adapts when you miss a day. EntrenAI does it with VDOT paces (Daniels) and an 80/20 distribution, but the plan is paid (€7.99/month or €23.99/year, with a 7-day trial) and it has no watch app.

  • Which cycling training app works by FTP and power zones?

    You want an app that measures your FTP with a test, calculates your power zones and organizes the week in blocks by goal. EntrenAI offers three test protocols (20-minute, ramp or 8-minute), uses the 7 Coggan zones and recalibrates FTP from your data every few weeks; it is paid (€7.99/month or €23.99/year) and it is not an indoor-trainer app.

  • Which app works for training gym and running together?

    You want one that treats strength and running as a single plan and not as two apps that do not talk to each other: it separates heavy sessions from quality sessions and alternates blocks. EntrenAI has a hybrid plan with three variants (strength-cardio, HYROX-style and run-strength) that does exactly that; it is paid, with a 7-day trial.

  • Which app works for preparing the physical tests of Spanish public exams (oposiciones)?

    You want one that knows the tests of your corps, calculates your score with the official table and organizes training backwards from the exam date. EntrenAI has an exam-test plan for the National Police, Guardia Civil, Armed Forces and Customs Surveillance, with the score you would get today; it is paid, with a 7-day trial. The score guides are free but in Spanish only.

  • Is there an app that runs the plan for several sports at once?

    Yes, but there are few: the norm is one app per sport, each ignoring what you do in the others. EntrenAI builds a single plan for 12 sports (hypertrophy, general strength, powerlifting, speed and power, running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, duathlon, HYROX, hybrid training and physical tests for Spanish public exams (oposiciones)) and lays out the week so they do not collide; it does not replace a specialized app if you practice only one sport at the highest level.

  • Is there an app that adapts training to your sleep and fatigue?

    Yes. EntrenAI asks for a check-in every morning (sleep, stress and fatigue) and turns it into a Readiness Score from 0 to 100 with a published formula: 40 % accumulated volume, 30 % sleep and 30 % stress. With critical fatigue the plan cuts the day's volume by 40 % and caps RPE at 7; if you recover better than expected, it adds 15 %. It is not a clinical index: it is a load rule.

  • Does a training plan made by artificial intelligence work?

    It depends on what you call «AI». A language model that writes the plan sounds good but is not coherent from one week to the next. A rule-based engine built on training science that uses your data is. EntrenAI does the second: the plan is calculated by a reproducible rule engine, and language models only read your notes, write comments and answer questions.

  • Is there a cheap alternative to an online personal trainer?

    Yes, if what you need is for someone to decide what to train each day and adjust it when you change. EntrenAI costs €7.99/month or €23.99/year, with a 7-day trial, against the tens or hundreds of euros a month of an online coach. It does not replace the human side: it does not see you on video, correct your technique or write to you.

  • Strava does not tell you what to train: which app gives you a plan?

    Strava is the best social network for recording and sharing activities, but it does not tell you what to train tomorrow: its plans are fixed templates. To get a plan that adapts to you, you add another app. EntrenAI connects with Strava, reads your activities and publishes your workouts to it: Strava records, EntrenAI plans.

  • Which app builds your gym routine for you and makes it progress?

    There are three kinds of app: logs that record what you decide (Hevy), generators that propose the day's session (Fitbod) and periodized plans that progress over weeks (EntrenAI). EntrenAI builds a hypertrophy or strength plan by your level, days and equipment, and raises the weight based on the RIR you log; it is paid, with a 7-day trial.
