The Volt Difference

Volt is strongest when a team wants high-quality programming without having to create and maintain every workout from the ground up.

Programs arrive ready to assign. Volt offers programs built by CSCS-certified coaches for 40+ sports, activities, and training goals. Programs can be configured around the team’s sport, training schedule, and season dates.
Cortex® personalizes loading automatically. Cortex learns each athlete’s strength, recommends exact weights, and uses workout performance and RPE feedback to adjust those recommendations as the athlete trains.
Programs adapt to your equipment. Configure the equipment available, and Volt automatically adjusts the program while preserving the intended movement patterns. Athletes can also choose from appropriate replacements when needed.
Readiness tracking helps coaches focus their attention. Athletes report sleep, soreness, energy, mood, and stress, giving coaches a quick view of who may need a closer look.
Shared-device training is included. Tablet Training Mode supports up to 20 athletes on one device and is included in every team plan.
Coaches remain in control. Coaches can change exercises, sets, reps, and loading—or build a program from scratch. Volt’s automation reduces routine work without locking the coach out.
A highly rated mobile experience. The athlete app is where workouts are delivered, completed, and tracked. Volt’s iOS app is rated 4.7 stars from 17K ratings, compared with TeamBuildr’s 3.2 stars from 260 ratings.
