Smart Zero improves repetition detection in demanding lifts, while new Apple Watch controls, raw-signal review, and additional VBT metrics give coaches a clearer and more flexible workflow.

Over the past few months, we have been working on three new features: detailed AI summaries of your athletes’ training sessions, synchronization of these summaries

0. For those unfamiliar with Velocity Based Training Velocity Based Training (VBT) consists of monitoring the execution velocity of repetitions performed with maximum intent to

In this new Spleeft update, we have focused on two fundamental aspects: improvements in the user experience regarding execution velocity measurement and an expansion of

Spleeft continues to consolidate its position as the hub for VBT data At Spleeft, we continue to move forward with a very clear idea: to

Apple Watch Series 12 is our early pick for the best all-round wearable for 2027. Here is the evidence, the battery-life trade-off, and who should choose it.

If you train long enough, most “new” exercises eventually feel like remixes of things you’ve already done. Dumbbell pullovers are the rare exception. They look

If maximal strength is your “one big punch” quality, aerobic endurance is everything that happens after the first punch. It’s your ability to keep moving, keep thinking

Every coach knows this athlete. Athlete A looks smooth in warm‑up, can run all day, barely breathing, but when it’s time for a brutal 10

Most training plans are written like weather forecasts made a month in advance: they look clean on paper and then reality shows up with its
