Toolenza for Personal trainers

Built for the coaching day

A personal trainer's day is building programs for clients with different goals — one is cutting, one is bulking, one is training for a half-marathon, one is rehabbing a knee. The same five calculations run on different bodies, all day. Toolenza puts each calculation a single keystroke away (⌘K → tdee) and renders the results in a print-friendly format you can drop into a client's program PDF.

Nothing here replaces TrainerRoad, TrueCoach, or a real S&C software. Toolenza is the between-clients version — fast lookups, fast computations, fast handoffs.

Daily tools

Energy and nutrition (cuts and bulks)

  • tdee — Total Daily Energy Expenditure via Mifflin-St Jeor + activity factor. The cornerstone for any nutrition program.
  • bmr — Basal Metabolic Rate alone (TDEE without activity).
  • macro — protein / carb / fat split for cut, maintain, or bulk goals. Adjustable carb-to-fat split.
  • calories — fast calorie reference for common foods.
  • protein-intake — daily protein target per body weight, scaled for goal.
  • water-intake — hydration target by body weight and activity.
  • body-fat — US Navy circumference method (waist/neck for men; +hip for women).
  • bmi-calculator — BMI with WHO category bands (use as one signal, not the only one — muscular clients often score "overweight").
  • bsa — body surface area; useful for cardiac index calculations in athletes.

Strength

  • 1rm — One-Rep Max estimation via Brzycki, Epley, and Lander formulas (all three computed simultaneously). Use the lowest for safety; conservative coaches go with Brzycki.
  • plate-calculator — "how do I load 142.5 kg on this 20 kg bar?" Picks the optimal plate combination given your gym's available plates.

Cardio and pacing

  • pace — running pace / time / distance solver. Solve any of the three from the other two. 5K, 10K, half-marathon, marathon presets.
  • heart-rate-zones — five training zones via max-HR or Karvonen reserve. Karvonen is more accurate but needs resting HR; max-HR is fine for general guidance.

Session and program timing

  • multi-stopwatch — circuit training, EMOM, AMRAP — run a labelled stopwatch per station.
  • stopwatch + timer + countdown + pomodoro — single-tool timing.
  • metronome — for cadence-based lifts (paused-tempo squats, RPE tempo work).
  • tally-counter — rep counter (kettlebell swings, jumping rope, bodyweight challenges).
  • sleep — 90-min sleep cycle calculator; recovery is half the program.
  • bpm — quick pulse check post-set.

Client-business side

  • invoice — branded session invoice or package billing.
  • business-card — digital business card + QR for new-client onboarding.
  • loyalty-card — "10 sessions, get the 11th free."
  • subscription-tracker — audit your own coaching SaaS bills.
  • reminders + todos + event + reservation — session bookings and follow-ups.
  • currency + calculators — pricing and conversions for international online clients.

Frequently asked questions

No single formula is universally most accurate — they vary by lift, rep range, and athlete training history. Brzycki is conservative (under-predicts at higher reps; safest for programming). Epley is the most-cited modern formula. Lander is a third reference. The 1RM tool computes all three so you can compare; for programming, default to the lowest of the three to leave headroom.

The US Navy circumference method is convenient (just a tape measure) but typically reads ±3-4 percentage points compared to a DEXA scan. Useful for tracking changes over time in a single client (consistent under- or over-read across measurements), less useful as an absolute number.

Yes — pick the unit, set your bar weight (20 kg / 45 lb / custom), and the tool finds the plate combination on each side. You can also set which plate denominations your gym actually has (some only stock down to 2.5 kg, others have 0.5 kg fractional plates).

Free tier: per-tool state in your browser only. Pro tier: save named workspaces per client (e.g. "Sarah - cut Q1" with TDEE/macros/1RMs persisted). For a full client-management CRM, use TrueCoach / Trainerize / TrainerFu — Toolenza covers the calculation layer.

Yes — run one labelled stopwatch per station, start them at the buzzer, lap on transitions. For pre-built EMOM / Tabata interval timers specifically, a dedicated interval tool is on the roadmap.
