03 / Getting started
START WHERE
YOUR ACADEMY IS.
Once your academy joins, we shape the setup and relevant preparation around your chosen package and how you’ll use it.
-
01
Understand your academy.
Start with your goals, your members, the space and equipment available to them, and any coaching experience within your staff.
-
02
Shape the approach and preparation.
Plan how you’ll offer student programming or deliver coached sessions. For the coach package, we assess your staff member’s knowledge and tailor education and mentoring before they lead training.
-
03
Set up programming and software.
Set up BridgeAthletic for your chosen package and shape programming around your members and available equipment—from a full gym to a smaller setup or suitable body-weight options.
-
04
Put your approach into practice.
Begin using the programming with your students. With the coach package, your prepared staff member leads sessions and uses weekly and monthly calls and direct contact to review and adapt.
Preparing a coach to lead sessions? We review relevant coaching qualifications and CPR and first-aid credentials as part of preparation. Your academy arranges its own insurance.
Building out your training space? We can introduce equipment vendors from our network and help you assess options that suit your academy.

04 / A few practical questions
LET’S GET
SPECIFIC.
How does the founding rate work?
The first 10 academies in total, choosing either package, receive the $249/month founding rate. Keep that rate for your chosen package for as long as you remain subscribed. The rate covers that package’s stated inclusions. Expanded student access and pricing can be discussed during onboarding.
Can we start with programming for our students?
Yes. For the first 10 academies in total, the student-programming package is $249/month per academy. It includes ongoing strength and conditioning programming with BridgeAthletic access for up to 20 students. You do not need to start by setting up academy-led strength sessions.
Can this scale beyond 20 students?
Yes. The student-programming option’s $249/month founding rate includes up to 20 students. If you need access for more students, we can discuss expanded access and pricing during your onboarding call.
What if we want a coach to lead strength sessions?
For the first 10 academies in total, the coach package is $249/month per academy for programming and education/support for one staff member. It includes BridgeAthletic, guided education and mentoring, self-paced learning, weekly programming calls, monthly review and education calls, and direct email and phone support. Your prepared coach leads the sessions and keeps the relationship with your students.
Does our coach need strength coaching experience?
For the coach package, we assess what your staff member already knows and tailor the education and mentoring before they lead training. Relevant coaching qualifications and CPR and first-aid credentials are reviewed as part of preparation. Your academy arranges its own insurance. Self-paced education supports that preparation; the starting point depends on the coach’s experience.
Do we need a full gym?
We work with your available space, equipment, and members’ needs. That can include a full gym, a smaller setup, or suitable body-weight options. If you want to add equipment, we can introduce vendors and help you consider suitable options.
Does $249 include both packages?
No. The first 10 academies in total can choose either starting package at $249/month per academy: student programming for up to 20 students, or programming and education/support for one staff member. Keep your founding rate for your chosen package for as long as you remain subscribed. Send an inquiry and we’ll help you identify the approach that fits your academy. We’ll reply by email within 24 to 48 hours.
Is there a long-term commitment?
The service is month to month and cancellable, with no 12-month commitment. We’ll explain the cancellation process before you join.
