What does PocketAthlete actually do?

You check in each morning with your sleep, soreness and fatigue. It scores your readiness, adjusts that day's session, and builds four-week training blocks around your sport, your position and the equipment you have.

Is it only for footballers?

No. It covers football, rugby, basketball, running, weightlifting and general gym training, with position-specific work for the team sports.

No. Tell it what you have and it programs around it. Many of the technical drills need nothing but a ball and a wall.

Can it work around an injury?

It works around soreness you log and avoids body parts you tell it to leave alone. It is general training information, not medical advice — see a physiotherapist for a diagnosis.

Terms of service

The rules of the road. The short version: this is training guidance, not medical advice.

Last updated 25 July 2026

The agreement

These terms are between you and PocketAthlete. By creating an account you accept them. If you do not, please do not use the app.

This is not medical advice

PocketAthlete provides general fitness and training information. It is not a doctor, physiotherapist or dietitian, and nothing it produces is a diagnosis, treatment or medical advice.

Readiness scores, programs, drill recommendations, nutrition targets and video analysis are estimates generated from what you enter. They can be wrong. Treat them as a starting point for your own judgement, not an instruction.

Consult a qualified professional before starting any training or nutrition programme, particularly if you are injured, have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are under 18. If you feel sharp or persistent pain, stop and see a physiotherapist or doctor. Do not use this app to decide whether an injury is safe to train through.

Training carries risk

Exercise can cause injury. You take part at your own risk and are responsible for training within your capability, using proper technique, and stopping when something hurts. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for injury, loss or damage arising from following guidance in the app.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Your account

Keep your login details to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account. Give us accurate information — the guidance is only as good as what you enter. One account per person, and do not share access.

You must be at least 16 to hold an account.

Subscriptions and payment

New subscribers start with a 7-day free trial. We take your card details at sign-up but charge nothing until the trial ends; cancel before then and you pay nothing at all. The trial is once per person — if you have subscribed before, your plan starts immediately.

Paid plans are billed monthly in advance through Stripe and renew automatically until cancelled. Prices are shown before you buy.

You can cancel any time; the plan runs to the end of the period you have paid for and does not renew. We do not pro-rate part months.

If a payment fails we may downgrade you to the free plan until it succeeds. If we change prices we will tell you first, and the change applies from your next renewal.

Where you have a statutory right to cancel, that right is unaffected by anything here.

Fair use of the AI features

AI coaching runs on paid infrastructure, so each plan carries a monthly allowance. Reaching it does not break the app — the on-device coach continues to work — but AI-written responses pause until the next month or until you upgrade.

Uploads are limited per plan and older clips are removed on the schedule set out in the privacy policy. Do not attempt to circumvent these limits, automate requests, or resell access.

Your content

Your videos, photos and logs remain yours. You give us only the permission needed to store and display them back to you, and to share them with a coach if you choose to.

Do not upload anything unlawful, or anything featuring another person without their agreement.

Our content and software

The app itself — the software, the design, the exercise and drill instructions, the position guides and the coaching text — belongs to us and is protected by copyright. Your subscription buys you the right to use it, not to own it.

You may not copy, republish or redistribute our content, build a competing product from it, or take it apart to work out how it is made. You may not use our written coaching content to train a machine-learning model.

You are welcome to quote a short passage with credit and a link, and to share your own screenshots. Our name and logo remain ours.

Availability

We aim to keep the app running but do not promise it will always be available or error-free. Features may change. We may suspend accounts that break these terms or put the service at risk.

Ending it

You can delete your account at any time, which removes your data as described in the privacy policy. We may close an account for a serious or repeated breach, and will tell you why where we can.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have jurisdiction.
