Made by coaches for coaches
We build the tool we've been missing. Planr is made to make training planning easier, more organized and better suited to the reality in the gym.
The story behind Planr
Behind Planr is a combination of extensive experience in digital product development and many years in the gym as a handball coach. With over 20 years of background as a product designer and nearly ten years as a coach in youth sports, I know where the shoe pinches in everyday coaching. Today I am the head coach for Nordstrand girls 2010 and Coach 2-certified in the Norwegian Handball Federation.
Planr came to be because I missed a proper tool. There are many good exercises, both on YouTube, in exercise banks and in my own notes. Yet there was no easy way to collect, structure and plan them. The possibility to share between teams and coaches in the same club was also completely absent.

What we want to achieve
Planr is first and foremost a tool for coaches, not a content provider. We make it possible to collect and structure sessions with content you find yourself or create yourself. For many, this has been exactly what was missing ā a simple system to work efficiently and build content over time.
We start with handball, but the goal is to support coaches in all team sports. Common to all of them is the need for good planning, close collaboration and structured development across roles and age groups.
"Planr makes it easier to plan sessions, save your own exercises and share content between coaches and teams in the club. Most importantly, the tool gives you more time to do what matters most: developing youth and handball players."
The values we build by
We build Planr with some simple but important principles:
Simplicity
Complex tools solve little. Planr should be easy to use and quick to get started with.
Collaboration
The best sessions are created together. We believe in sharing content, ideas and responsibility.
Quality
We make tools we use ourselves every week and that actually help coaches in practice.
Design + handball = Planr
Throughout my career, I have had a passion for making things simpler and more user-friendly, whether it's about digital products or everyday life in the gym. As a product designer, I have developed solutions that help people work smarter. As a handball coach, I have seen how much time is spent finding exercises, planning and keeping track.
"Planr was created at the intersection of these two roles. The goal is to give coaches a tool that makes planning and collaboration easier. The result is more overview and less time in front of the screen, so you get more room for what really matters: developing players and building teams."
We build Planr together with you
Planr should never be finished. We continuously improve and develop the tool in close dialogue with you who use it. Do you have ideas, needs or input? Feel free to share them via our idea and development page. We read everything and actively use the feedback in our priorities.
Our goal is clear. We will create the best tool for coaches and clubs, and we believe it's done best together with you who stand in the gym every week.
