1trAIner
AI coach for cross-country skiing
AI coach for cross-country skiing is a 1trAIner service where artificial intelligence builds and guides a ski training plan. It suits amateurs who ski in winter and want to structure their preparation for the season. The service plans the season, month, week and day, reviews uploaded workouts and recalculates the week. The first 7 days are free, then 450 ₽ per month or 4999 ₽ per year, with no auto-renewal.
First 7 days free, no card needed. After that 450 ₽ per month or 4999 ₽ per year, no auto-renewals.
How it works
-
1
Tell about your skiing experience, style, goal and available days — the AI will build a plan from the season down to individual training days based on your level.
-
2
Connect Garmin or Apple Watch via the app, or start without a watch — describe workouts in the chat if device data is unavailable.
-
3
Get your morning plan, upload completed workouts and read the review — report missed sessions and schedule changes in words in the chat to adjust the week.
How it differs from a coach and a regular app
| What we compare | 1trAIner AI coach | Personal coach | Regular app |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual plan | Built around your goal, level, and available days of the week | Tailored to you, depth depends on the coach's experience | A ready-made template, the same for everyone |
| Daily adjustments based on your watch | Every day based on sleep, resting heart rate, and completed workouts | Usually a call once a week | No: the plan doesn't know how you feel |
| Workout review for every session | Automatically after your activity is uploaded | Selectively, for key workouts | Just numbers with no explanation |
| Availability | Around the clock in chat, replies in seconds | During business hours, by appointment | The app is always available, but it doesn't answer questions |
| Price per month | 450 ₽ (or 4999 ₽ per year), first 7 days free | From 5000 ₽ for online coaching | From free to 1500 ₽ for a subscription |
| Who it suits | For amateurs who need a plan and a review without waiting for an answer | For those who value a real person and in-person work on technique | For those who just need to log workouts |
Ski training depends on the season: the AI takes into account snow availability, summer base and completed workouts, linking winter preparation with the rest of the year.

Frequently asked questions
Will the service work if I only ski in winter?
Specify how many months a year ski training is available and what you do the rest of the time. The AI will build a plan taking seasonality into account. You can discuss your summer base in the chat and include it in the overall plan.
Do I need a watch for ski workouts?
You can start without a device by describing workouts in the chat. Garmin transmits workouts, sleep, resting heart rate, heart rate variability and readiness; Apple Watch connects via the app. Without a device, this data is not received automatically.
Can I prepare for a ski marathon?
Specify the distance, race date, riding style, and current training volume. This information defines the training goal. The plan is built from season to month, week, and day; after workouts are uploaded, the week is recalculated.
What should I do if there is no snow and workouts get disrupted?
Write in the chat which sessions did not happen and what conditions are available now. The AI will adjust the upcoming plan based on your message. If the whole schedule changes, specify the new available days, not just the nearest date.
How is the service different from a live coach?
The plan is created and managed by AI, not a human. Communication happens in the Telegram chat, including by voice. The service provides informational recommendations and a review of uploaded workouts, but does not observe your riding technique in person.
How much does it cost to use the service?
The first 7 days are free, then access costs 450 ₽ per month or 4999 ₽ per year. There are no automatic charges. The free trial lets you get to know the plan and the chat; payment questions can be sent to support@1trainer.ru.
