Connections: coach and athlete accountability
How ShrunkShank Connections let coaches and athletes share progress, react on a feed, and copy plan templates.
Update, October 2026: Connections is now two pages — My coach (the coaches you have) and Clients (the people you coach). Everything below still applies; the names in the app changed.
Many trainers, mentors, and athletes just want a light way to stay accountable — see that someone trained, share a programme template, and leave a quick reaction.
ShrunkShank Connections link two accounts. You invite a coach or an athlete by email; either side can start.
Once connected, you get a shared achievement feed for workout completions and check-ins, three fixed reactions (Strong work, Great streak, Nice job), and optional plan template shares. When a coach shares a plan, the athlete copies it into their own library — they own the copy, including duplicated exercises.
Coaches can also view nutrition days the athlete has marked as shared — read-only context for coaching conversations.
Sign up free, open My coach or Clients, and invite someone you already train with.
