Key Takeaways
- athletedata.health reads 36 apps (its own FAQ), coaches over iMessage, Telegram or WhatsApp, and sends workouts to your watch, at €33.90 a month.

- On price, intervals.icu is free, freddy.coach Pro is $49 a year, and Athletica starts at $19.90 a month.
- For a person rather than software, TrainingPeaks coaching runs $149 to $359 a month.
- Want your own Claude or ChatGPT to read your training? athletedata’s data-only plan is €9 a month; Kracey’s connector is free.
Stay with athletedata, or Look Elsewhere
athletedata.health is the right choice if you want one coach across many sports and many apps. Look elsewhere if your sport is HYROX, if you want a person, or if you only want your data in your own assistant.
Stay with athletedata if:
- You swim and ride as well as run. Kracey does not programme swim or bike.
- You want the coach to read your lifts in Hevy. Kracey reads your training through intervals.icu only.
- You want your session pushed to your Apple Watch, Garmin or COROS. Kracey sends it to the chat and your calendar.
- You want the coach in iMessage or WhatsApp. Kracey is Telegram only.
Look elsewhere if:
- You race HYROX and want stations, the Roxzone and race pacing coached, not just strength.
- You want a human who knows your name.
- You only want to ask your own AI about your data, without a plan.

The Five Alternatives
Kracey: for HYROX and Hybrid Athletes
An AI coach in Telegram that reads your training through intervals.icu and messages you first. It coaches the race itself: all eight stations, the Roxzone as time won or lost, and compromised running built off station work.
- Suits: HYROX racers, hybrid athletes and runners training for a race.
- Honest limit: one data connection (intervals.icu), one chat app, no swim or bike.
Athletica: for an Adaptive Plan in an App
A plan app that adjusts each workout from your performance and recovery. It lists HYROX among its sports and has an AI coach that answers questions about your data.
- Price: $19.90 a month, $99 for six months or $189 a year, with two free weeks and no card.
- Honest limit: you open the app. Its AI coach explains and suggests; by Athletica’s own page, it does not change your training automatically.
intervals.icu: for Free, Deep Analysis
A free platform for fitness, fatigue and zones. It has no AI coach; its Ask A Coach feature puts you in touch with human coaches.
- Price: free; Supporter $4 a month.
- Pair it with: Kracey’s free connector, so Claude or ChatGPT can read what intervals.icu holds.
TrainingPeaks: for a Human Coach
The app endurance coaches use, sold with a person attached. Premium is the app alone; Bronze, Silver and Gold add a coach.
- Price: Premium $19.95 a month or $134.99 a year with 14 free days; coaching $149, $229 or $359 a month.
- Honest limit: neither its homepage nor its pricing page mentions an AI coach, and a person starts at $149 a month.
freddy.coach: for Your Own AI
Your health data, served to the assistant you already use: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or any MCP client.
- Price: free with one source and seven days of history; Pro $49 a year; lifetime $249.
- Honest limit: it does not write a training plan, and a morning check-in needs an agent you set up yourself.
The HYROX Difference, in One Card
athletedata’s HYROX page trains you to hold pace when tired. Kracey also coaches where races are lost: the Roxzone, an over-run first kilometre, and the wall balls, farmers carry and lunges that fade at the back. HYROX is eight runs, eight stations and the Roxzone, and your coach plans for all of it.
Built by Niels Post, who races HYROX: 56:18 in the Open and 10th at the Pro Doubles World Championships. Read how the HYROX coach works or predict your HYROX time.
