Private Coach

Private Coach is a comprehensive and intuitive program designed primarily for professional athletes and trainers, but can also be used for personal purposes to keep track of calories intakes, essential nutrients, health and fitness values (BMI, heart rate, blood pressure). It also features advanced parameters that measure the muscle circumference, swim strokes, flexibility analysis, as well as generate charts and reports with relevant information.

When the utility is run for the first time, a wizard guides you through a few steps to set up your profile accordingly with your parameters. You are asked to input a profile username, password, email, full name, along with the date of birth, gender, and corresponding unit system.

You can fill optional fields (e.g. height, weight, body mass, heart rate, blood pressure, medical history, medication), which are recommended, in order for the program to accurately calculate and generate proper exercises. Plus, the tool offers to help you set up an assisted training program, which you can do it manually as well, to design a personalized schedule based on the basic details, activity, goals and preferred sports.

Private Coach also comes with a few standard health, cardio and fitness questionnaires to properly detect and analyze what is best for your current situation, as well as a calendar in which you can easily plan various events. All you need to input is the event type (training, physical training), start and end date and time.

Another useful feature is the nutrition manager, which lets you add all the food and beverages you consumed during the day and displays four bars with the total amount of calories, protein, carb and fat those products contain. Unfortunately, the database comes with local dishes and there is no option to add your own meals.

Plus, you can view and create a PDF file with all your statistics along the month and year to observe how the diet and exercises affected and improved your overall well-being. It's possible to check your goals and set new ones.

The bottom line is that Private Coach is a reliable and self-instructional utility that comes in handy especially for those who want to keep an eye on their daily meals and intakes, determine long terms goals, as well as record all your exercises and generate detailed summaries.
