Frequently Asked
Questions

Answers to what trainers most care about — how you earn, how it works, and how it benefits you and your athletes.

How will I get paid as a trainer on Edge?

Athletes subscribe to Edge through the App Store, just like any other app.

When they sign up using your unique trainer code, a portion of their monthly subscription is automatically attributed to you.

We pay trainers monthly, after the first full month of athlete participation. The more athletes connected to you, the more recurring revenue you generate.

What does it cost me to join?

There is no cost for trainers to join Edge.

No subscription fee. No setup fee. No platform charge.

Athletes pay a monthly subscription, and you participate in that recurring revenue.

How much does the athlete subscription cost?

Athletes subscribe through the App Store for a monthly fee. Pricing is designed to be accessible for families while creating meaningful recurring income for trainers.

Exact pricing may evolve as we refine the platform.

How do I get started?

We've made it simple:

  1. You sign up as a trainer.
  2. You receive a unique trainer code.
  3. Your athletes download the app and enter your code when they register.

That's it. Once athletes are connected to you and begin subscribing, you start earning recurring revenue.

Who is Edge Athletics designed for?

Edge is designed for youth trainers and coaches who want to expand their impact and create recurring income without adding more in-person hours.

This includes:

  • Private youth trainers
  • Strength and conditioning coaches
  • Team trainers
  • Coaches working inside school or club programs
  • Coaches looking to build sustainable funding streams for their teams, training groups, or booster-supported programs

Edge gives coaches a structured, measurable athletic foundation that supports long-term durability, performance, and athlete development — while also creating a scalable revenue layer that can help offset program costs, equipment needs, travel expenses, or booster club fundraising goals.

Why isn't sports-specific content available yet?

We intentionally designed Phase One to be simple.

Right now, Edge focuses on foundational athletic development — the physical qualities that underpin all sports.

Sports-specific modules and trainer-created content are part of the roadmap, but we're prioritizing ease of onboarding and immediate revenue for trainers first.

What exactly is Edge Athletics?

Edge Athletics is a trainer-first performance system that combines proven athletic foundation programming with measurable analytics and recurring revenue leverage.

It helps youth trainers extend their impact beyond in-session hours, show clear progress to parents, and build scalable income.

How is Edge connected to VSP?

Edge is powered by the philosophy and programming developed at VSP — a physical youth performance facility in Northport, NY where athletes train in semi-private, customized sessions.

The system inside Edge was refined in a real training environment before being built digitally.

What do athletes actually see inside the app?

Athletes receive structured performance programs focused on foundational athletic qualities like speed, strength, agility, mobility, and durability.

Athletes can not only track their progress over time — they can see how they stack up against relevant peer groups by age, sport, gender, or team where appropriate. That comparison layer is a meaningful motivator that drives consistency and keeps athletes engaged between sessions.

They can also:

  • See performance benchmarks at a glance
  • Stay motivated through measurable, visible improvement

The platform is designed to be motivating, not labeling. It encourages growth, consistency, and healthy development.

What tools do I get to manage and monitor my athletes?

Trainers receive a dashboard where you can see athlete engagement, completion trends, and progress metrics — giving you clear insight into who's active, who may need support, and who's driving recurring revenue.

Edge isn't just an athlete app. It's a trainer management system designed to give you visibility and leverage across your entire roster, not just the athletes you see in person each week.

Why focus on foundational athletic development?

Early sports specialization has been linked to increased injury risk in youth athletes.

Edge emphasizes broad athletic development to build more durable, resilient athletes who can perform consistently and stay available for practices and games.

A stronger foundation benefits every sport.

Is this replacing my coaching?

No.

Edge complements your coaching. It provides structured foundational work between sessions and measurable tracking that strengthens your credibility.

You remain the coach. Edge gives you leverage.

Will this actually help with athlete retention?

Yes.

When athletes can see their progress — and parents can understand it — engagement increases. Transparency builds trust. Trust builds retention.

How do you ensure quality and consistency?

All foundational programming is built around a defined athletic philosophy developed through VSP's live training environment.

As the platform evolves, quality standards will remain central to maintaining credibility and long-term athlete development.

Is this only for local athletes in New York?

No.

VSP is the physical birthplace of the system in Northport, NY. Edge is built to scale nationally.

What's coming next?

Future phases include expanded sport-specific skill pathways and opportunities for trainers to contribute content within a structured quality framework.

We're building carefully to protect quality while expanding opportunity.
