Run your business

Your day on one screen.

See what is done, who is next and what your online clients trained. Your phone tells you when a client cancels, changes a routine or asks to move a session. Every session they attend goes on the invoice.

Grow your business

Your peak hours are full. Online coaching lets you take on more clients.

Most clients want the early mornings and the evenings, so those hours fill first. Online clients train from your programme at any time, even while you are with someone else. You set a monthly amount, and it goes on their invoice.

Build programmes

Build programmes from over 1 300 exercises.

Each one has a clip and the steps to do it, and you can add your own. Add a note to an exercise, and your clients see it every time they do it.

Nutrition

Meal plans built on their macros.

Pick Lose, Maintain or Gain for each client, and their macro targets are worked out for you. Build their meal plan from over 1 000 foods. They see it on their phone, mark each meal eaten and get a shopping list for the week. You charge for nutrition on their invoice.

Workouts

Log a set in one tap.

Every set shows what they lifted last time, and starts there. Your clients tick each set, leave you a note, and see any new personal best when they finish.

Check-ins and progress

Progress you can both see.

Clients send their weight, photos and answers to your questions on the day you choose. Charts and personal bests show on their phone and yours, and you see who has gone quiet.

No. Every plan takes every client you have. Standard is free, Online is R295 a month, and Nutrition is R395 a month on top of Online, whether you have 5 clients or 50. Online coaching for more than one client needs Online.
