Gotthard Strength

Gotthard Strength is a computer software and health company that provides periodized, year-long strength and conditioning plans through an app. The plans are designed by a real coach and adjust target weights, training volume, and program design based on measured performance, strength ratios, and individual feedback. Users can log workouts, calculate warm-ups, and track analytics like e1RM trends and body weight.

The app recalculates target weights from what the user actually lifts and calibrates training volume based on both measured performance and individual feedback. It also identifies relative strength deficits after each training block to make individual adjustments to the program design for balanced neuromuscular development over time.

The platform includes a warm-up calculator, rest timer, and quick set logging that continues to work even when the gym wifi is unavailable. Users can swap exercises for a specific session or for the rest of the block if a machine is taken or an exercise does not suit them today.

The service is designed for fighters preparing for bouts, athletes chasing an edge, and grandparents who want to pick up their grandkids, among others. It aims to provide resilience in sport and everyday life through structured strength and conditioning.

To get started, users must sign up using an email or Google account and then build their plan by entering their goal, experience, and frequency in about two minutes. The plan is periodized into macro-, meso-, and microcycles that build up different strength qualities phase by phase.

The company states that every new plan starts where the last one ended, ensuring continuous progression. It also includes conditioning sessions such as HIIT planned alongside strength work, periodized through power and capacity phases.

The founder, Markus Lanz, created the app after several major injuries, including knee and hip reconstructions, led him to focus on strength and conditioning. He notes that he has never been a professional athlete but has trained and competed in various sports, mostly martial arts.

The business is located in Hergiswil NW, Schweiz, with a physical address at Seestrasse 49, 6052. The website domain is gotthard-strength.com and the official website can be accessed at https://gotthard-strength.com.

The name 'Gotthard' references the Gotthard Base Tunnel, a nearly 60-kilometer railway tunnel straight through the granite of the Central Alps. The company uses this as a metaphor for a structured plan that adapts to goals and performance, one layer at a time.

The app offers analytics that show e1RM trends, weekly volume and intensity, and body weight, with the understanding that the longer a user trains, the clearer the picture becomes across macrocycles and years.

The service offers a full training year periodized into macro-, meso-, and microcycles that build up different strength qualities phase by phase. This structured progression is described as not random variety.

The company claims that the app checks current strength ratios after each training block to identify relative strength deficits. This allows for individual adjustments to the program design in the next block.

The company states that strength determines how we interact with the world, whether for fighting, athletic competition, or everyday activities like picking up a grandchild. The goal is to make users more resilient in sport and life.
