Is Epix Gen2 getting strength coach?

As far as I can tell Garmin is silent on this so far (but i'd expect it to come across).

It really caught me out - I had a sales rep say it was enabled in the latest update which made me pull the trigger on an Epix Pro!

Maybe, but without Garmin clear communication ...

And i have had 2 beta updates since 19.34 and not in there....!

Was it on the watch when you bought it? Did you buy the watch wanting Strength Coach?  Did anyone from Garmin promise you it would be there when you did buy the watch? PS I never believe anything a salesman tells me!
The presence of different features on different watches at different price points has never, ever been a guarantee that those features will eventually apply across the range. 
Garmin does not, never has, and likely never will forecast what features will apply to which watches. 

Buy a watch for what it has, not what you wish it to have. Anything else added afterwards is a bonus.
