The athlete guide

Getting started

Set up your profile and find your way around

Getting around iVenza

iVenza is your training home base for any sport - combat, team and ball sports, endurance, and strength. Everything works offline and syncs to your account when you're online.

The bottom tabs are your map: Home for a quick snapshot, Techniques for your knowledge base, Training to log work, Calendar to plan, Fuel for nutrition, and More for everything else.

Home itself reads top to bottom like a briefing: your streak and readiness, four tiles with today's numbers - sessions this week, your next event, your latest weigh-in and steps - then what is planned today, your goals and records, and your week. A tile shows the fact and one tap opens the screen behind it. The three rows at the bottom open your journal, your progress charts, and the techniques you are learning.

It ships set up for combat sports, so if you train something else - basketball, soccer, running, lifting - open your disciplines and add what you do (and drop what you don't). That one step re-shapes the app: which session types you can log, how your technique library is organized, and whether you track belts or team positions.

Tap the + button on most screens to add something new. Start by logging a single session or technique - the app builds your history from there.

Want the guided version? Replay the welcome tour any time from More → Support, or jump straight into logging a training session.

Screens have their own short walkthrough the first time you open them, on top of this tour. Replay them any time: on the web, the Page tour button in a page's header; on mobile, More and then Replay section walkthroughs.

On the getting-started checklist, Or describe your training and let AI set it up builds your sports, weekly schedule and upcoming events from one sentence, and adding a sport that way ticks the sport step off by itself.

Your profile & privacy

Your profile holds your name, contact details, disciplines, and training history. Open it any time from the More tab.

• Name and phone help coaches and teammates recognize you when you join a gym.

• You control what you share: leaderboards and discovery are opt-in toggles you can change whenever you like.

Your training data stays on your device and in your private account unless you choose to share it with a gym or coach. See Data, backup & sync for how syncing works.

Techniques & knowledge

Build your technique library across every art

Building your technique library

The Techniques tab is your personal encyclopedia. Add a move, tag its discipline and position, and capture notes, photos, or video.

Every sport gets its own skill categories - submissions and sweeps for jiu-jitsu, strikes and footwork for boxing, shooting and ball handling for basketball, pacing and form for endurance sports - and the Techniques tab filters by them, right alongside discipline, position, and proficiency.

Mark each technique's proficiency - learning, drilling, competent, or mastered - so you can see what's sharp and what needs work.

Log reps against techniques during a training session to watch your numbers grow over time.

Train more than one art? Manage your disciplines so every technique files under the right sport.

Adding a technique the app does not know? Tap Write the details for me under the description to draft a write-up, a category, a position and a few coaching notes from the name - you can edit every word, and nothing you already wrote is replaced unless you say so.

Curated library & community

Don't start from scratch. Import moves from the curated library, or browse the community feed where athletes share techniques you can save to your own library.

Both live in the Techniques tab header: the book icon is the curated library, the people icon is the community. If a search of your own library comes up short, it offers to search the community for the same thing.

Rate and import community techniques with one tap; the author's notes and media come along.

Shared one of your own? Open the technique and you'll see it is on the community, with View post and Update post - or find it under Mine on the feed. Editing changes the post in place, so its ratings and imports stay; a note you left out when you first shared it stays out until you tick it.

Anything you import lands in your own technique library, ready to tag, edit, and count reps against.

Training & strength

Log training sessions, lifting, and conditioning

Your training log

Every kind of training is one list on the Training tab: a class, a practice, open mat, or rounds with a partner, a workout, a run. Each row says what it is - a kind chip, then the session type, workout type, or run type - which disciplines it covered, and any tags you gave it. Tap + to log one; the button offers a training session, a workout, a run, and the live GPS run tracker.

The filter row narrows the list without leaving it: All, Sessions, Workouts, or Runs, then a discipline, a tag, or a search. The stats strip follows whatever you have filtered, so "workouts this month" is one tap, and Upcoming sits right underneath: today's planned sessions are cards, the rest of the week is a strip you scroll sideways - tap one to log it, hold it for its plan - and See all opens the next four weeks.

Tags are yours to invent - "camp", "hard", "comp prep", "morning" - and every log form has a field for them. A tag is for what a session is beyond its kind; the type, the disciplines, and the gym already carry the rest. Use one once and it is a filter chip from then on.

• Pick one or more disciplines so your stats stay accurate across every sport you train.

• Add the techniques you drilled from your technique library to count live and drilled reps.

• Add exercises and sets to the same entry when a session mixed drills and lifts. A best set inside a class counts toward your personal records and your volume exactly as it would in a workout.

Short on time? Both shortcuts sit right under the Techniques heading: snap a photo of the whiteboard, or describe your session out loud or in a sentence, and let AI fill in the details for you to review.

Train on a fixed weekly rhythm? Set up recurring classes on the Calendar so planned sessions are one tap to log.

Run the same drill session every week? Save it as a session template - "Save as template" on a logged session, or build one under Session templates on the Training tab. Each technique carries its rounds and a round length (type "0:10" or "2:00" - "10s" and "2 min" work too), and the Circuit chip puts techniques into named circuits; a circuit can be one technique, so "Circuit B: 6 x 0:10" is one tap on its Start timer chip when you log from the template. Save stays pinned at the bottom while you pick techniques.

Filed something under the wrong kind? Open it and choose "This was something else": the entry keeps its place, its photos, and its plan link, and simply becomes a run, a workout, or a training session. Logged it from your watch instead? Open the entry: a "Planned that day" card links it to the session you had planned.

Something arrived from your watch? It wears a "Needs review" mark and a banner counts what is waiting - open the entry to confirm it, edit it, or file it as something else; see Fitness trackers.

Favorite sessions

Some classes stand out - the night a coach gave you pointers you filmed, the drill that finally clicked - and months later they are buried in a log you scroll past. Favoriting a session keeps it on a short list you can go straight back to.

Three ways to star one:

• Open the session and tap the star in its header.

• Tap Favorite while you are logging it, on the form itself.

• Select several at once in the training log on the Training tab and favorite them in one go - the same selection bar unfavorites them.

Open Favorite sessions from More, or from the training log itself. It has no date filter on purpose: the log shows the last month by default, so a class from last season disappears from it, while your favorites stay one tap away for as long as you want them.

Each row tells you what is inside before you open it - the techniques you tagged, how many photos and clips you filmed, and whether the session carries notes or reference links - so the class you have footage of is easy to spot. If you want a coach to break a clip down with you, send it to Film review instead.

Tap the star again to unfavorite. Nothing else changes: the session, its notes, its media and its stats stay exactly as they were, and your stars sync to your other devices.

Workouts, strength & running

Log workouts with sets, reps, weight, time, or distance on the Training tab. They sit in the same list as your sessions and runs; the Workouts chip in the filter row shows only them, with your volume and workout count for the period above. Group exercises into supersets and circuits, tag a workout ("push", "deload") so you can filter for it later, and reuse your favorites as templates.

The log form is three parts: Basics (date, time, name, type), Exercises, and a Details heading that folds duration, gym, tags, notes and photos away until you need them - a line under the heading says what is already filled in. Add exercise opens a sheet you can search or browse by category: tap to add or remove, hold to preview. Save stays pinned at the bottom of the screen, one tap away however long the workout gets.

Following a template or an assigned workout? The recommended reps come pre-filled, and every set row carries a check-off circle - tick sets (or whole rounds) as you do them and watch the done counter climb. Finish early and just save: a set you never got to is kept as skipped, so the plan is still there next time and nothing you skipped counts toward your records or volume.

Resting between sets? Tap Rest timer on the log form and pick a duration. The list is yours to shape - type any rest you like ("1:30", or "90" for seconds), save it, and it is there next time. The timer stays a plain rest countdown, with an Advanced timer button when you want rounds, intervals, EMOM, AMRAP, or a stopwatch instead.

Short on time? Two shortcuts sit right under the Exercises heading: snap a photo of a whiteboard workout, or describe it in plain words, and AI turns it into structured sets you can edit.

Going for a run? Track distance and route with GPS, and see a map of where you went - runs sit in the same list, under the Runs chip.

New bests are caught automatically: beat your top weight, reps, estimated one-rep max, or longest run and it lands in your personal records. Sets count wherever you logged them, so a bench PR set in the middle of a class is a PR. You can also share a favorite template to the community feed and import routines other athletes publish.

Open a logged workout and a Muscles worked card shades a body map by how hard each region was hit - the sets you did, not the ones you skipped, primary muscles counting in full and secondary ones half - with what worked each region listed under it. Want more of the same? Plan by muscle starts from the regions you tap.

Every workout feeds your progress trends, so consistency shows up in the numbers.

Plan a workout by muscle

Not sure what to train tonight, but sure it should be legs? Open Plan by muscle from the Training tab's shortcut strip, the calendar's + menu, or your workout templates, and tap the regions you want to work on the body map - front and back, as many as you like. Tap a chip under the map to remove one, or Clear to start over.

Under the map, Exercises lists every exercise of yours that works those muscles, the ones that target them first. Tick the exercises you want and Build workout opens the log form with them ready to go - one set each, add reps and weight as you train. Opened from a calendar day, the workout lands on that day.

Workouts that hit these ranks the saved workouts that cover your selection - your own templates, the curated library, and the community feed - with a badge for where each one comes from and how many of your regions it touches. Your own templates offer Start and Schedule right on the row; library and community workouts open their preview. Community workouts are matched by exercise name and need a connection.

An exercise shows up here because it carries muscles: bundled exercises come tagged, and you tag your own from the exercise's page. Every workout you log also draws the muscles it worked on the same body map - see Workouts, strength & running.

Running

Two ways to log a run on the Training tab: record it live with GPS, or write one down after the fact. Runs sit in the same list as your sessions and workouts, and the Runs chip in the filter row shows only them. Runs also arrive on their own from Apple Health or Health Connect, so anything your watch recorded shows up without you doing anything.

Recording live, the app calls out every kilometer or mile as you cross it: which split it was, the pace you held for it, and whether that was faster or slower than the run so far. Under your average pace there is a second, live reading of the last few hundred meters, so you can see yourself speeding up or drifting without doing the arithmetic. Splits are cut on the unit you use, and the boundary is fixed when you tap Start.

Finishing opens a summary rather than dropping you on a page. The distance counts up, then your time and pace, then anything the run just earned - a longest run, a fastest average pace, your quickest 5K inside a longer effort, a weekly streak, a lifetime milestone. That is also the moment to name the run and say what kind it was, and to share a card with your route drawn on it.

The run's own page leads with the map, then your splits with the fastest one marked, your best efforts at every standard distance from 400 m to a marathon, heart rate, elevation and effort. Anything the run set is shown as a badge at the top.

Splits and best efforts are measured while the run is happening, from the timing of each GPS reading. That timing is not something we can work out later, so a run logged by hand and a treadmill run have no splits, and the app says so rather than showing you an empty chart. Runs that came in from your watch WITH a route do have them - re-run the import once and your existing history fills in.

With the Runs filter on, the stats strip shows this week against a target with a ring. Set your own weekly or monthly target by tapping it, or leave it alone and it follows your own recent average. Beside it is your run streak, counted in weeks rather than days, because almost nobody runs seven days a week and a streak that dies on a rest day is punishing you for training properly. A trophy marks whichever runs currently hold your records.

If your gym is running a competition scored on distance, it appears on the Training tab with how you are placing and how long is left.

Switching between miles and kilometers is safe at any time - your splits are re-cut from the recording rather than converted, so they always line up with the unit you are reading.

Quick Log: one sentence, every tracker

Quick Log is the fastest way to record a day. Tap the sparkles bar at the top of your home screen - or the mic beside it and just talk - and describe everything in one go: "weighed 180 this morning, took creatine, an hour of practice, then squats 5 by 5 at 225, slept seven hours". Tap Review entries and the app sorts it into the right places: a weigh-in, a food entry, water, a supplement, sleep, a fast, a journal note, a training session, a workout, a run.

Names are matched to your own rows - your techniques, exercises, supplements and disciplines - so "drilled arm triangles" counts against the technique already in your library instead of creating a second one. Anything the app is unsure about comes back unchecked with a Check badge, so you look before it saves, and a genuinely ambiguous sentence gets one quick question first. Nothing is written until you tap Save selected.

Hands full? Say "Hey Siri, quick log in iVenza" or use the Google Assistant shortcut, and Quick Log opens with what you said already typed in - see Voice commands. It works the same for every sport: a shootaround and a hundred threes file just as neatly as an hour of rolling.

Things to work on

Logging a session records what you did. The fold under the exercises, "To work on", records what you still need to. Open it and tap any technique you just logged, or type the thing that has no chip - which is usually the important one, because the move that keeps catching you is by definition the move you were not drilling.

Each item says why it is on the list. "Having trouble with" is your own execution. "Kept getting caught by" is something beating you, which is a different ask of a coach: one means drill the move, the other means teach me the answer to it. "Want more reps" is neither - you just want the mat time. Add a note if there is more to it than the name.

Items outlive the session you noted them in, which is the whole point - you work on them NEXT time. The To work on list carries them all, newest first, and one tap moves an item along: to work on, working on it, sorted. Sorted items stay on the list. A running record of what you fixed is the most encouraging thing on the screen, and it is the fastest answer to "am I actually getting better".

Your coaches see the same list on your athlete page at any gym you share training with, next to what you have been drilling - so they can build a class around a real gap instead of guessing. If you would rather keep one to yourself, mark it private. A private item never leaves your own list, whatever else you share, and that is enforced on the server rather than by the app. Write the honest ones: an item you never wrote down is one nobody can help you with.

Calendar & scheduling

Plan sessions and recurring training

Calendar & recurring schedules

The Calendar tab shows everything you've planned and logged in one place.

Tap + on any day to log what you already did, or plan what's coming - whatever you add lands on the day you have selected, not on today. A day in the future offers planning only, since you can't have already done it.

Set up recurring sessions on your weekly schedule - classes, lifting days, or rest - so your week builds itself.

Planned sessions become reminders, so you never miss a class.

When a planned session happens, logging it takes one tap - see Your training log.

The colored dots under each date tell you what is on that day:

• Red - training sessions, planned or logged, and lesson plans your coach scheduled. A discipline you have given its own color shows in that color instead.

• Blue - workouts.

• Green - runs.

• Amber - competitions and events, including a bout you are booked on.

• Teal - something is due that day: a weight target, a camp weigh-in checkpoint, a medical document expiring, or your gym dues coming out.

• Pink - a gym class you reserved a seat in.

• Gray - a session you booked with a coach, or a gym challenge starting or finishing.

• Indigo - a social post you scheduled.

A faded dot means it is not settled: a session you skipped, a class you are waitlisted for, a competition you answered maybe to, or a bout the promotion has not confirmed.

A fight camp tints the whole run of days rather than adding a dot.

A day only has room for so many dots, so a busy one shows three and a count of the rest, like +3. Tap the day to see everything on it.

Under the day you will also see a quiet line for your body and fuel - your weight, calories and sleep for that day. Meals stay out of the list itself, so a day of eating never buries the session you have to show up for.

Already did a planned session before logging it - say, your watch imported it? Tap the planned row (or press and hold it) and choose "Already did this? Link a logged entry": the entry becomes that session, the plan is marked done, and you see it once. Linking an entry of another kind, like a workout to a planned class, files it as that kind in the same step.

Instead of adding recurring slots one at a time, tap the sparkle on the weekly schedule and describe your week in plain words - the app drafts every slot with its days, time, sport and gym for you to review before anything is added.

Fuel & nutrition

Food, macros, fasting, and hydration

Logging food & macros

Track what you eat on the Fuel tab by scanning a barcode, searching the food database, or snapping a nutrition label for AI to read.

Eating several things at once? Tap "Add another food to this meal" before you log - every food you add goes into the same meal and time, and one Log button records them all. Tick "Also save as a meal" to keep the list in the Saved meals strip.

Saved meals log with one tap into the slot you give them - Dinner, Post-workout - and each food in a saved meal shows its own calories and macros in the meal editor, where you can fix them before they are ever logged.

Your food library (the last pill of the Saved meals strip, right above your diary) holds every food you have scanned, searched, saved or typed in. Search it, star what you eat most, correct a wrong number, or log a food again from there.

iVenza tallies your calories and macros and shows your energy balance against your training.

Curated restaurant guides let you log popular menu items without guessing.

Watching your weight for a competition? Pair food logging with weight tracking to see both sides of the balance.

Fasting, hydration & supplements

Everything you take in besides food has a tile at the top of the Fuel tab - Water, Fasting and Supplements - and lives in the quick-add menu too. Each tile shows today's number and opens its tracker with one tap.

• Log water against a daily goal that follows your preferred units.

• Start a fasting timer and watch the elapsed window live.

• Check off your supplements as you take them so nothing gets skipped on training days.

Cutting weight? Pair your hydration plan with a glide path - see Tracking weight & body.

Body & recovery

Weight, measurements, and sleep

Tracking weight & body

Log your weight to watch trends over time, and add body measurements when you want a fuller picture.

Heading into a competition? Set a target weight and date, and iVenza charts your glide path so a cut never sneaks up on you.

Add your competition first and the glide path plans backward from the date on the calendar.

Sleep & recovery

Track your sleep to see how recovery lines up with your training load.

On supported phones, connect Apple Health or Health Connect to import sleep automatically - along with resting heart rate, HRV, and more under Health metrics.

Recovery trends sit next to your training volume in Progress, so you can spot overtraining early.

Fitness trackers & wearables

iVenza reads from Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android, so any tracker that syncs to either works out of the box: Apple Watch, WHOOP, Oura, Garmin, Polar, Suunto, COROS, Amazfit, Withings, and (on Android) Fitbit, Pixel Watch, and Samsung Galaxy Watch.

Turn on the health sync in your tracker's own app, then connect iVenza - the tracker guide has the steps for each brand.

Open any imported run or workout to see the full detail your watch recorded - pace, average and max heart rate, cadence, elevation gain, calories, a heart-rate graph, and your route on the map. The graph marks your peak and your low right on the curve, shows the average as a line, and carries a bpm scale on the left and elapsed time underneath - drag a finger across it or tap it to read the exact beats per minute at any moment of the session.

A smart scale that syncs to Apple Health - Renpho, Etekcity, Eufy, Withings, Wyze, Garmin Index - brings your weigh-ins in with body fat already attached, plus fat-free weight and BMI under Health metrics. Scale readings are iPhone only for now. The extras your scale's own app works out, like skeletal muscle, visceral fat, and subcutaneous fat, stay in that app: no health platform carries them.

Once connected, workouts, steps, sleep, and recovery vitals land in Health metrics and across your training automatically.

An activity that overlaps a session on your calendar lands as that session, already linked - a martial-arts, team-sport or racket-sport activity comes in as a training session even without a plan. When the match is looser the import asks first, and any entry shows a "Planned that day" card you can link with one tap.

Every activity comes in under its own name - Cycling, HIIT, Yoga, a Bench Press session - with the title and notes you typed in the source app, the app or device that recorded it, whether it was indoors or a treadmill run, and your effort score as the session's intensity. Each fresh import carries a "Needs review" mark until you look at it: the Training tab shows how many are waiting, the review chip filters to them, and the entry's own screen says where it came from and what the watch recorded it as, with "Looks right" to confirm or "Edit details" to fix it. Saving any edit clears the mark, and a selection can be marked reviewed in one go. The first time you connect, only the last two weeks are marked.

Progress & goals

Track trends, goals, and your journal

Progress, goals & journal

The Progress screen turns your logs into trends - training time, training streaks, weight, and more.

Personal records holds your all-time bests - top lifts by exercise, estimated one-rep maxes, and your longest and fastest runs - with a feed of every new record as you set it. A set counts wherever you logged it, inside a training session as much as in a workout.

Set training goals (technique counts or training-time targets) and, if you like, compare against opt-out leaderboards. Training time counts your training sessions - classes, practices, drilling, rounds - while workouts and runs keep their own numbers on the Training tab. A time goal can also be scoped to what you're working on - pick techniques, a category, or a keyword ('practice my jab for an hour this week') and only sessions that include a match count their time.

Your Journal gathers every note you've written across the app into one timeline.

Wearing a tracker? Import daily steps and set a step goal to keep easy movement on the board.

You can also describe a goal in plain words at the top of the goal form - Hit 200 armbars this month, or 3 hours on footwork this week - and the form fills itself for you to adjust.

Explain my week

Under your weekly recap on the home screen and at the top of Progress there is an Explain my week button. Tap it and the app writes a few plain sentences about the last seven days: what you logged, how it compares with the week before, any personal records, where a goal stands, and a small suggestion for the days ahead. It is written by AI, but only from the numbers already shown on the card above it. The AI is never given your notes, the names of events or opponents, your food log, your body weight, or any heart-rate reading, and every number it writes is checked against the card before you see it. If the check fails, nothing is shown and your recap stays exactly as it was.

The summary is saved on your device. When your week changes, it shows an Update button so you can rewrite it, and it asks first because updating uses AI. A summary older than a week is hidden.

It is a training guide, not medical advice. Readiness is mentioned only as a suggestion for how hard to train, never as a statement about your health. Explain my week is free and does not count toward your monthly AI scans. It is not available on school-managed accounts or for athletes under 13.

Competitions & camps

Plan fights, matches, and weight cuts

Competitions & camps

Add an upcoming competition or match to plan around it, and keep scouting notes on opponents.

Every event gets a Scouting & film hub: search opponent footage on YouTube without leaving the app, jump to fight-record sites, and attach your own film review clips so your study lives with the event.

Build a camp with a weight glide path plus volume and technique goals, so your preparation has a clear target.

The glide path rides on your weight log, and camp goals show up in your calendar and progress.

Compete & get discovered

Fight offers, and getting seen by scouts and recruiters

Your fighter profile & fight offers

If you compete in combat sports, publish a fighter profile - an opt-in fight resume with your record, weight class, and physicals - so promotions and matchmakers can find you.

When a matchmaker wants to book you, it arrives as a fight offer: the opponent, weight, ruleset, purse, and any deadline. Review it, then accept or decline.

Accepting books you on the bout and connects you to the promotion, so you can message them and handle your paperwork. Everything you're booked on lives under My bouts.

Before fight night you'll clear a compliance checklist - things like bloodwork, a physical, an eye exam, a W-9, and a signed contract. See Clear your fight checklist for the walkthrough.

Want to be seen for opportunities beyond a single bout? Set up your all-sport recruiting profile too.

Clear your fight checklist

Once you're booked on a card, the promotion's requirements appear as your fight checklist - open it from My bouts, or from the notification you got when the checklist was created. Typical items: bloodwork, an eye exam, a physical, a W-9, your bout agreement, and fight photos.

For the medicals, upload the document (a photo or PDF) and enter its own expiration date. Approvals are judged at fight night - a medical that lapses before the event date needs renewing, and reminders warn you at 30, 7, and 1 days out.

Fight photos are headshots or promo shots the promotion can use to promote the card - add up to 6. The W-9 is a guided form filled onto the official IRS document - you preview the filled form and sign the document you reviewed; your tax number goes only into the PDF the promotion keeps and is never stored in the app.

When the promotion sends your bout agreement, review and e-sign it right in the app (or through the signing link they text you). Signing clears that checklist item automatically.

Every item shows where it stands - submitted, approved, sent back, or waived - and you can open anything you submitted to double-check it. If something comes back with a note, fix it and upload again.

Getting discovered by scouts & recruiters

Publish a recruiting profile so scouts, colleges, and clubs can find you - in any sport. Add your positions, class year, school, and what you're looking for.

Your 'Verified by iVenza' stats are calculated from your real logged data - training volume, competition record, recovery, and film - and you choose which sections to show.

Under 18? A parent or guardian has to approve your profile before it goes live. They can see exactly what a scout would see and can revoke approval any time - set this up under Family. Athletes under 13 can't publish.

When a recruiter is interested, you get a notification. Nothing is public messaging: a private chat opens only if you accept. Review every interest and reply on your terms.

Coaching & gyms

Run a gym or team and coach your athletes

Gyms, teams & roster

Add a gym or team under My gyms, or join one - accept an invite, enter a join code, or search the directory.

When you add one we ask how you're connected: you train there, you coach there, or you own it. "I train here" just links the gym to your profile so you can tag sessions - your account stays an athlete account. Only "I own or run it" sets up the full roster, classes and payments.

Every gym you belong to lives under My gyms; owners can co-manage, and a deleted gym can be recovered for 30 days.

Your roster shows who's training, what they share with you, and how they're progressing.

If your gym bills dues through iVenza, its membership plans show right on the gym profile - join the gym and start your plan from there.

Ready to run your gym like a business? The coach tools cover the full toolkit - see Getting started as a coach.

If a gym sells memberships, you can buy one straight from its page - paying makes you a member right away, no approval step. Only invite-only gyms, and gyms that have declined or removed you, still need to add you first.

Book a session with a coach

Find someone to train with under Find a trainer - gym coaches and independent trainers, in person or online. Filter by what they do and where, then open their page to see their offerings and open times. Book a session also sits in the + menu on Home and on the Calendar, so you never have to hunt for it.

There are up to three ways to pay, and you pick on the booking screen. A card is the usual one. If the coach sold you a package, one of your sessions is spent instead and nothing is charged. And if the coach has added you to their approved list, you can book with no card at all and settle with them in person - cash, transfer, whatever you have agreed.

Everything you have booked lives under My sessions: what is coming up, how many sessions are left on each package, when a package runs out, and anything you still owe a coach in person.

Packages usually work out cheaper per session than booking one at a time. If a coach sells them, they appear on their booking page and you can buy one in the app.

Coaching, lesson plans & booking

Coaches get a full toolkit: build lesson plans, broadcast announcements, chat with members, and assign workouts.

• Publish a teaching schedule and sync it to your device calendar.

• Offer paid private sessions or sell event tickets with secure Stripe payments.

Looking for coaching instead? Find a coach or personal trainer and book a session that fits your sport.

Film review

Break down a video - a match, a sparring round, any training clip - on your own or with the people you choose. Open Film review from More and upload straight from your phone.

Sharing is up to you. Keep a clip to yourself with "Just me", or share it with one of your gyms so its coaches can review it. You do not need a gym to use film review.

Invite specific people to a clip from the review screen: a training partner, a coach at another gym, a private trainer. They can watch that one video and add notes - nothing else in your account - and you can remove them at any time.

Feedback is anchored to the clip: notes are pinned to an exact moment, you tap a note to jump the player there, and replies thread underneath - a real conversation on your footage.

Watch the moment, not just the clip: slow the player to 0.25x or 0.5x, step one frame at a time, and pin a segment (a start and an end) so a note loops exactly the seconds it is about. Draw on the paused frame - an arrow at the elbow, a circle around the foot - and the drawing rides your note, so everyone who opens it sees what you meant. Each clip shows a poster frame in the list so the right round is easy to find.

A review should change what you do next. Tap "Got it" on a correction so your coach sees it landed, and if they marked it "work on this", turn it into a technique goal in one tap - already pointed at the technique the note was tagged with. You see what is new since you last opened a clip and who has looked at it. Tag a note with a technique and that technique's own page shows every clip with notes on it, newest first: your progress on one move, in film.

Get better film in and more people around it. Before a long match uploads, keep only the seconds that matter: on iPhone the trimmer cuts the file itself, and any clip (or a YouTube link) takes a playback window that every player honors - notes keep their own times, so trimming later never moves one. Leave a voice note pinned to a moment - hold the mic, talk, done - and it plays for everyone on the thread. Share game film with your whole team, not just the coaches. Put two clips side by side under one set of controls - this week against last month, you against a training partner - and line them up on the moment that matters. Hand a coach or recruiter who is not on the app an expiring read-only link, see how many times it was opened, and turn it off whenever you like. Tap "Summarize this review" to pull a long thread into what to work on.

No file to upload? Paste a YouTube link (or search YouTube right in the app) to review footage by reference - handy for studying an opponent or a pro match.

Coaches can send film the other way too - a clip they share lands here with a notification. You can also tie a clip to one of your competitions so the film lives with the event.

Adding your kids to your account

Your child does not need their own iVenza account, and under 13 they cannot have one. You add them to your account instead and run everything for them from there - their gym, their waivers, their rank, their attendance.

Open Family from the More tab, type your child's first and last name, and tap Add child. That is the whole thing: no email address for them, no password, no separate signup.

Now put them in your gym. Tap your child's name, enter the code your gym gave you under Gym join code, and tap Join. If you already train at that gym they are added straight away; otherwise the gym gets a request and approves it.

• The mistake almost everyone makes: using the gym's join code or QR link while signed in as yourself. That adds YOU to the gym, not your child. The code has to go in on your child's screen, inside Family.

From then on everything the gym records flows back to you - their rank, their check-ins, and any waiver that needs a signature, which you sign for them as their guardian.

When they are old enough for their own login, open their screen and tap Copy code under Give them their own login. They sign up normally, enter that code under Family, and their whole history moves across to them.

Earn & create

Creator content, merch, and referral earnings

Creator content, merch & referrals

The Earn section of the More tab collects every way to make money with iVenza - built for athletes and coaches alike.

• Build a creator community: publish free and members-only posts, set subscription tiers, and sell one-time unlocks. Fans subscribe on your public storefront page on the web.

• Open a merch store: list shirts and gear with variants and stock - buyers check out through Stripe with shipping collected, and you ship the order.

• Plan your content in Brand Studio: a post planner, sponsor tracking, reusable caption snippets, a link-in-bio kit, and AI idea brainstorming.

• Join the affiliate program to earn a share of the revenue from everyone you refer - and the Promote button on your store, booking page, and events shares a branded image that carries your referral link automatically.

Account & settings

Units, appearance, language, and your data

Units, appearance & language

Set your preferred units (pounds or kilograms, miles or kilometers) from the More tab - the whole app follows your choice.

Switch between light and dark themes, and pick your language: English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

Reminders live there too: choose which nudges you want and when they arrive.

Data, backup & sync

Your data syncs automatically across your devices when you're signed in, and works fully offline in between.

• Export or back up your data any time from More → Data.

• You can delete your account and its data from the same screen.

What a gym or coach sees is up to you - review your sharing grants in your profile.

Two-step verification, and getting back in

Two-step verification adds a second step when you sign in: a code from an authenticator app, or one we text you. Even if someone learns your password, they cannot get in without it. Turn it on in Security.

Resetting your password? Two-step stays on. After you open the reset link we ask for your code first (from your authenticator app, or one we text you) and only then for the new password, so a link from your inbox alone is never enough to take over an account. Signed in with Google or Apple and never had a password? The same steps set your first one.

Save your recovery codes. When you turn two-step on we give you ten one-time codes. They are shown once and we cannot show them again, so put them somewhere you can reach WITHOUT your phone: a password manager, a printout, a note on your laptop. Losing your phone and your codes at the same time is the situation they exist for.

Lost your phone? On the sign-in screen, tap "Lost your authenticator?" and enter one of your recovery codes. That turns two-step off right away and lets you in. Set it up again once you have a new phone.

No codes either? From the same screen you can start a reset. Two-step comes off your account after 3 days. During the wait we email you, push to any device you are still signed in on, and text you where we have a number, each with a link to stop it. Nothing happens until the 3 days are up. Both of these need a real sign-in first - your password, or the Google, Apple or other account you use. A password-reset link on its own does not unlock them, so if you have lost your password as well, email help@susos.co from the address on your account.

Got one of those alerts and it was not you? Use the stop link in it, then change your password immediately. Whoever asked was able to sign in with your current password, so the password is the thing to fix.

Adding a second method is the fastest insurance. In Security you can add another authenticator app alongside the first, so losing one device is not a lockout at all.

Admin accounts work differently: they cannot reset their own two-step verification, because for an admin that second step protects everyone else on the platform too. Email help@susos.co from the address on the account and we will verify who you are first.

Your privacy choices

You decide what iVenza keeps about you, and who sees it. Everything is in one place: ivenza.app/privacy-choices

• See and download your data, or delete your account, from More → Data & Sharing. Deleting is permanent, so export first if you want a copy.

• Choose which emails and texts you get, by category, in Reminders. You can also reply STOP to any text.

• Control what each gym or coach can see, category by category, in My gyms & teams. Turn one off and they stop seeing it right away.

Public listings like the fighter marketplace and recruiting profiles are always opt-in, and switching one off removes you from search.

A few records outlive account deletion because the law requires it - signed waivers, tax forms, and event compliance documents you gave to a gym or promotion.

We do not sell your personal information, and we never share it for advertising.
