Why Load It

What makes Load It different.

Load It knows the bar, the plates and the gym each client trains in. And you can run all of it from your phone.

Progression
The next jump might be one their plates can't make.
Each jump is rounded to plates their gym actually has.How

Plate loading

Your clients don't have to do plate math.

When the weight changes between sets, the app tells them exactly which plates to put on or take off.

  • It works for warm-ups, working sets and drop sets.
  • It uses the plates their gym actually has.
  • Clients can color their plates, from galaxy to gold.
Try it

Type a weight and see the plates.

This is the plate math Load It does for your clients between every set, using the plates their gym actually has.

Apple Watch

Leave your phone in your bag.

Start on your iPhone, then log every set from your wrist. The watch draws the bar, counts down your rest and tracks your heart rate, even when your phone is in a locker.

Kim, founder of Load It, also known as Buff Mama.

Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Kim. You might know me as Buff Mama.

Women-owned company

I've been lifting for over ten years. When I got pregnant, all the conflicting advice about training through pregnancy left me frustrated, so I became a pre and postnatal fitness coach myself. As Buff Mama, I help moms get strong in the gym and confident in life.

I'm also a scientist, with a master's in bioinformatics from Johns Hopkins. I built Load It because it's the app I wanted for my own coaching.

Training on your own?

FAQ

Questions coaches ask.

Something not answered here? Get in touch.

Is it really free?

Yes, while it's in beta, with no card needed. If you join during the beta, you'll pay $15 a month instead of $29 for as long as you stay.

What happens when I get more clients?

Nothing changes. You pay per coach, not per client, so your price stays the same no matter how many clients you have. Growing your business shouldn't cost you more.

Can I add other coaches?

Yes. Start a team and invite them. Each coach keeps their own clients, you see how everyone's doing, and it's one bill that drops to $19 a coach at ten.

What happens to my clients' videos?

Videos are kept for six months and then deleted. Your notes and anything you drew on the video stay for good, so you can still look back at the feedback you gave on that lift.

Do my clients have to pay?

No. Your clients don't pay Load It anything, and we don't take a cut of what they pay you.

Can clients book sessions with me?

Yes. Set your hours on the Calendar tab, then book them yourself or let them book inside your hours.

Can I import my client list?

Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel export from the app you use now, or your own spreadsheet, or paste a list. You check everyone over first, and nobody gets an email until you say so.

Does it work on Android?

Yes. The Android app is in testing on Google Play: join the testers group with the Google account on your phone, then become a tester and install it. It also works in a web browser at loadit.io.

Pounds or kilograms?

Both. Each person can pick whichever one they like.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. In Settings you can download everything in your account, including your programs and your workout history.

Can I use Load It without a coach?

Yes. Lifters can use the Plate Loader, set up their gym's plates, track habits and macros, and log their weight, measurements and progress photos, for free. If you start working with a coach, their programs show up in the same app.

Can I track my own training too?

Yes. You can be your own client, so your training is in the same app as everyone else's.

Try it with a program you've already written.

Paste in a real program and see how quickly it's ready to send.
