Short answer: If you are held back by TrainingPeaks the price in dollars, the Premium per athlete or the English interface, there are alternatives. TrainingForever is made in Spain for endurance and strength coaches: free version up to 5 athletes, €0.99 per active athlete and a maximum of €49/month, and helps you migrate.
When not to change: If you depend on the TrainingPeaks plan store, an annual season plan, COROS/Suunto/Zwift or highly advanced elite analysis, today TrainingPeaks covers you better. We explained it to you in detail below.

Why do coaches look for an alternative to TrainingPeaks?
- The cost per athlete. Coach from $21.99/month (4 Basic + 1 Premium) or $54.99/month with 5+ Basic. The Premium that the coach pays costs $9/athlete/month ($8.10 from 20 to 49 athletes). $99 (free with coupon). In USD and with separate taxes. Source
- Functions of the athlete after Premium: According to his own website, the Basic athlete does not see Performance Management Chart (only the coach), among other functions.
- Language: TrainingPeaks is available in Spanish (Spain on web and apps; Latin America on web) (source), but is an American platform with dollar prices.
- Business outside the tool: TrainingPeaks Payments allows to charge athletes with Stripe, but today it is only available to coaches from USA, UK, Canada and Australia (source). A coach in Spain has to charge off the platform.
- Change of ownership: Garmin announced on 22/07/2026 the purchase of TrainingPeaks and TrainHeroic (official note of Garmin). There are no announcements of price changes or compatibility; we do not speculate. If your athletes wear watches of different brands, your tool should be independent.

Real Case: How does Marc Bañuls apply it?
Real Case: Marc Bañuls, coach with more than 15 years experience. He plans each session himself and is clear how he wants the AI Assistant to work: "Changing the platform gives me laziness, but what really matters is not to lose the track record of your athletes or your way of working." "That the AI prepares me a draft is fine; that I publish for myself, no. I know my athletes better than any algorithm."
