Relay Athletic: the best Lumin Sports alternative
A comprehensive comparison between Lumin Sports and Relay Athletic. See why coaches want a complete platform.
Why coaches are making the move to Relay
Below are some of the reasons why coaches have been moving from Lumin Sports to Relay Athletic for a complete, all-in-one coaching platform.
Voice AI that builds your workouts for you
Relay's Voice AI lets coaches speak naturally - describe exercises, sets, reps, load, tempo, and RPE in plain language. The AI parses the dictation and creates a fully structured workout in seconds, matching from a library of 1,200+ exercises. Fine-tune everything in the grid editor, which works like a spreadsheet.
Lumin Sports lets you build workouts, but creating a single session means clicking through dozens of screens and menus. There's no voice input - every set, rep, and tempo has to be entered manually, turning a five-minute job into a tedious process.
Program design built for real periodization
Design entire mesocycles in minutes. Lay out weeks, define training phases, drag workouts between days, and copy blocks with a click. Relay's program designer supports block periodization with visual planning - see your full training architecture at a glance and adjust on the fly.
Lumin Sports offers periodization and workout scheduling, but the program design workflow is built around their performance tracking tools. Coaches looking for a fast, visual program builder with drag-and-drop blocks and mesocycle planning often find it limiting.
A modern athlete app your athletes will actually use
Once a coach assigns a program, athletes see their scheduled sessions instantly on the Relay mobile app (iOS & Android). Athletes log results, add notes, and complete readiness questionnaires - everything syncs back to the coach's dashboard in real time for compliance and performance tracking.
Lumin Sports offers athlete-facing tools focused on performance data and tracking. However, the workout delivery experience - seeing today's session, logging results, and providing feedback - is less developed than purpose-built coaching apps.
Real-time analytics that prevent injuries before they happen
Compliance, wellness, and workload dashboards update continuously. Strength curves, estimated 1RM, volume over time - per athlete, per lift. Know what's working without asking. Spot problems before they become injuries and adjust before performance drops.
Lumin Sports excels at performance analytics and tracking - it's the platform's core strength. GPS metrics, load monitoring, and performance trends are well-implemented for teams focused on monitoring.
A comprehensive exercise library, ready to go
1,200+ exercises ready to use out of the box, or build your own custom library. Tag by movement pattern, muscle group, and equipment. Every exercise is instantly available in the Voice AI workflow and the grid editor.
Lumin Sports includes a basic exercise reference, but its library is smaller and less detailed than Relay's 1,200+ exercises. The focus is on tracking rather than comprehensive exercise programming.
Pricing that works for every coach
Relay AthleticAll features included on every plan. Voice AI, program design, athlete app, analytics, and the full exercise library. 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
Lumin SportsLumin Sports pricing is typically geared toward teams and organizations, with costs varying based on features and athlete count. As a performance tracking platform, it may require additional tools for complete program design and delivery - adding to the total cost of your coaching stack.
