TrueCoach

TrueCoach is the best!

Kommentare: This has been a phenomenal platform to grow my business on. I find the interface extremely manageable from the coaching side and from the client side as I program for myself using this software. Very easy to monitor results, communicate with clients, coordinated with payment plans, everything is really nicely integrated into one platform.

Vorteile:

I love how easy it is to organize a training plan for competitions, including book marking particular days and planning peaking, Deloads, etc.

Nachteile:

Has had some occasional glitches throughout the years but the customer service team has always been great about fixing any issues as they come up.

True Coach app review

Kommentare: My overall experience was good. I continue to use the app despite its flaws.

Vorteile:

User-friendly, and very easy to understand.

Nachteile:

The coach side of the app is not user-friendly and never works on a cell phone.

Needs Improvement

Kommentare: Overall I find my experience with TrueCoach as "fine". I wouldn't recommend it, it has a way to go to be extremely functional and user friendly, but I think it has good foundations of it. I would recommend the app integrating an option where coach comments are almost "linked" in the general messages and a more user friendly calendar scheduling option.

Vorteile:

The interface is fairly easy to use, though at times not intuitive. The exercises I'm given by my coach are clearly labeled with easy ways to track progress from week to week by viewing "exercise history". I like that there is the ability to upload both video and pictures along with description, and that there's an easy way for me to message with my coach

Nachteile:

Sadly, I feel a lot of features can be improved. First of all, I have had multiple instances where I cannot upload my videos or pictures. I've had to restart the app entirely and lost progress, I've also had an entire workout that I've filled out completely disappear. The messaging can be great, but when my coach adds a comment to a workout I not only have to go to the app, I also have to go to "past", click the workout I *think* a new comment has been added to, and then I have to click a tiny message button on the top right hand corner to view the message at all. Workouts are set to the coach's time zone as well so when I am in the middle of a workout and cross over into their "midnight" (I'm behind them) it's considered missing a workout. I also wish that if I missed a workout, it rolled over to the next day.That brings me to my last point, from a client perspective it's incredibly disheartening when I miss a workout and there's a giant red X next to it. It would be MUCH better to have options where a client can catch up. There is also no option to reschedule a workout due to vacation etc. except on the coach end.

AMAZING PROGRAM!!! Clients love it and so do I!

Kommentare: Overall I would definitely tell others in the industry that TrueCoach is a simple, effective and amazing product that will keep you engaged with your clients while keeping them accountable to you.

Vorteile:

TrueCoach was a godsend for me to keep training clients during the pandemic. I've never used an online platform for any of my training, but this made it easy for me to program for my clients' needs as well as keep them accountable. They have an extensive library of exercise videos, but you can also add your own or grab a link with youtube etc.- simply amazing! On the client side of things, the feedback I got was "simple to use"; "love the video demonstrations"; "love checking in". If my clients are happy, I'm happy!

Nachteile:

There was nothing I didn't like about this program. It met all my needs, which in turn met my clients' needs too :)

TrueCoach, a "true"value for coaches and trainers

Kommentare: I've used TrueCoach for over a year now. Our program is a basketball academy and we use this for a multitude of check-ins and plans. Without TrueCoach, we would've had to do manual check-ins, video recordings through WhatsApp, etc. Now we can pretty much do everything on TrueCoach instead of using multiple platforms

Vorteile:

The fact that you can customize plans for each client and also for large groups. It makes the user experience seemless

Nachteile:

Sometimes setting the assigned dates are bit confusing. Additionally, I wish you can see the compliance rate of different groups instead only of ALL clients.

Movement Coach In-Person and Virtual

Kommentare: My peak coaching career began right before the pandemic in 2020. Having TrueCoach was the perfect tool to keep the momentum going and my clients committed as they had the flexibility of online coaching both with video or just the training plan - as TrueCoach provides all that we need with the training plan calendar layout, note tracking, communication, and exercise library/video sharing. This provided an access approach to training that allowed our clients to stay on-track despite the uncertain times.

Vorteile:

The exercise library - as a personal trainer a part of a team - we value collaboration. This feature allows for us coaches to be able to share new exercises that supports an area of growth that one or more of our clients face such as lower back pain, hip pain, foot pain etc.Being able to track the overall stats such as particular goals reached and when, as well as organizing key metrics allows for a great end-of-year summary that both celebrates the client's achievements, and provides ample momentum for the upcoming year's round of goal setting.

Nachteile:

A great sign for us coaches is when our TrueCoach account tells us we don't have enough space, because we are full to the brim with clients! This is a sign that our overall methodology is a success. However, of course, when it comes to TrueCoach, the one thing I like least are the client profile capacity limitations.

Great coaching app

Kommentare: Great and very easy and straighforward to use

Vorteile:

Great app for coaches to set up clients program and very easy for clients to use with all tutorials. Also teacking progress and comment section is very useful

Nachteile:

Nothing, software is very easy to use for both, coaches and the clients

Healthy and fast

Kommentare: Actually my friend who told me about it he also used it for almost 3 years then I decided too to search for a good trainer there and I found it and I got the result that I wanted

Vorteile:

The most thing I like is alll coach is certified and experienced

Nachteile:

All was good just one thing I'm satisfied with true coach

Saves Time

Vorteile:

Not expensive, great way to keep track of clients progress and easy to adjust clients plans.

Nachteile:

Nothing bad to say, love that it gives a free trial first.

Great Product

Kommentare: Very positive, it's a great product

Vorteile:

Ease of use and the ability to deliver what is needed to clients.

Nachteile:

Client program organization and the ability to easily access what is needed.

Simple and ituitive coaching platform

Kommentare: It´s a nice platform to manage a fitness business, it has all the features to keep track of the clients progression and make the required adjustments.

Vorteile:

True coach has one of the most simple and intuitive client apps available but it can be a bit sluggish sometimes. It provides a very sleek experience for both coaches and clients. Building programs, tracking metrics and compliance is easy and streamlined, the integration with MyfitnessPal is a plus although sometimes it takes some time to sync.

Nachteile:

The pricing tiers could be improved, The 14 day free trial can be insufficient to fully grasp the platform and test it with clients, a free tier with limited clients would be interesting. Its only available in English

So far so good

Vorteile:

I have been trialing out TrueCoach and I like the extra features I am able to offer my clients that I wasn't doing previously

Nachteile:

Still picking up on how to utilize all the functions, learning the different aspects. Lots to learn

My TrueCoach Experience

Vorteile:

True Coach is a modern training tool that enables user to organize their daily exercise work plans

Nachteile:

Nothing. True Coach is exceptional and user friendly

Excellent Client Software, Solid Coach Software

Kommentare: Overall the software is functional and useful, with client experience being the priority and the primary reason I haven't changed software.

Vorteile:

The client side of the app is fantastic. I enjoy the way communication works and the ease of use for clients. Getting set up and running is fast and simple.

Nachteile:

The most time-consuming part of coaching is getting data into the software and then utilizing said data on the back end. I would like for some form of volume and load management within the software as well as a more "open" means of inputting different data or information to clients.

The best of the best service I used I’m shocked it’s that great

Kommentare: Absolutely amazing. Gorgeous by all means. I’m in love with this service. Whoever is behind the concept is a great human being. He did it for free. Who does that? For free? Made our lives easier. Our business easier. Wow.

Vorteile:

Everything that you see on their website. Every single thing you see. I love it. It’s designed so marvellously that I couldn’t find 1 thing that I could criticise. I’m a self employed PT and I’m new in the industry. This service made my life and my business so easy. I can’t thank them enough.

Nachteile:

Nothing. It’s all great. Like I said, there is nothing I could like least. Yeah, I would love to see the money transaction thingy for clients so they can pay the PT through the service. Secondly, the text message service would be great. But these are my personal suggestion, not least like.

Coaching Made Easy

Kommentare: Overall, I'm very pleased with this product and the ease of use not only for me but for my clients. It's accessible to everyone of them and the video library makes sure my clients know what the movements should look like when I can't be there to guide them through it.

Vorteile:

I love that I can add videos for each and every movement I request of my clients so they can see how the movement should be executed. Additionally, the ability for them to add video and enter comments on each of the movements is incredibly helpful for feedback and knowing how to better adjust things for them in the future. The ease of using the app on the client side is great. I have yet to have a complaint on the client side of the use of the system.

Nachteile:

If I click out of the screen while working on programming for a client, the system can be finicky and doesn't always save my work. An auto save option would be a huge help so I don't have to reenter things if what I've entered goes missing.

Great software for personal trainers

Vorteile:

I've been using TrueCoach for 3 years and it's been a great tool for training my clients completely remotely or as an adjunct to the in-person coaching I do with my clients. The software has multiple channels for communication, which is very helpful for staying organized and developing a strong relationship with the clients I coach, especially the clients I train remotely. I like that both myself and my clients can share photos and videos easily. Overall, I would recommend this product to any coach that assigns programs or workouts to their clients.

Nachteile:

Where TrueCoach can improve is on the app used for coaches. I would be nice to be able to program and design workouts from my phone.

The best Return I could Ever get

Kommentare: best decision I ever made ,
the videos and the messaging sells the client on signing up with me. the return I get is that I don't have a mountain of paperwork and spreadsheets of clients history of workouts,
also, I'm not organized and this product does that for me

Vorteile:

the videos that I can attach to the workout so the client doesn't have to text me or so that I don't have email them a video through youtube also how easy it is for the client to download the app and see their workouts lastly, I have an entire history of their workouts without having to hunt through a file cabinet

Nachteile:

I can't think of any at the moment that I feel are missing

Accelerates my proficiency

Vorteile:

Ease of program delivery and Payments feature.

Nachteile:

I wish I could change client subscriptions mid program without having to create a whole new subscription and have them reconfirm their email, etc.

TrueCoach for 1:1 coaching clients

Kommentare: Overall it is good, very simple to manage and my clients have a great experience with it.

Vorteile:

-It is a simple interface -Allows me to keep in great communication with my clients -I love that my clients can upload their videos and I am easily able to give them feedback -It's great that there is an app -The programs feature is crucial for my business!

Nachteile:

-The biggest logistical issue I've run into is adding clients who have used TrueCoach with a different coach. It is always a process of me messaging for help, needing to add the client to the conversation, then you all manually changing the client over to my platform, with additional follow up messages to make sure everything is resolved. It would be great if this process could be automated, for example sending an email to the client saying that I've requested to work with them and have them confirm they'd like to work with me and have their account transferred over. -Other than that, just additional features! For example, I do sessions and/or calls with my clients. I would like to have a space to upload recordings of the zoom calls and call summaries. Some sort of centralized shared notes space would be great where both of us could comment and edit. This would increase the interactive nature of the platform and allow for additional communication with my clients. -Expanded video library, there are a good number of exercises I have to find videos for myself, I probably am using the provided video library 50% and my own videos 50% -A scheduling feature would be great that maybe connected to google calendar, again to keep everything on the same platform -I currently use a program called coach's eye to analyze my clients' videos and give feedback. It would be cool if there was a feature built into TrueCoach for that

The best software for Personal Trainers / Online Trainers / Fitness Coaches

Kommentare: Fantastic! They're support team is great as well.

Vorteile:

I've tried pretty much every software there is out there for fitness trainers and coaches. Even when a new one come alongs that seems like it may be comparable as far as features and ease of use are considered, I'll get a free trial just to see. And TrueCoach by far beats every competitor in my mind and experience. The functionality and customization in the ability to adjust programs, videos, text, workouts, etc., nobody else can touch. It's the simplest and easiest software to use. They continue to make additions such as the MyFitnessPal and Stripe integrations that make it possible for you to do more and more in there. They allow me to deliver content to my clients that aren't even workouts (which is so helpful), such as nutrition guides, resources, web links, and I can do check ins within the app, and so much more. TrueCoach allows me to continue scaling my business in bringing on more clients without ever having to worry about the software not being able to keep up. TrueCoach is king in the industry. They've won my loyalty without a doubt.

Nachteile:

The only thing, and this is getting really not-picky, is that I have found on other software platforms, that they have a lot of pre-built training programs that they share with their users. TrueCoach has a very small amount of these. If there were more, that'd be cool but it's not a huge deal to me.

Very solid service

Kommentare: I have used True Coach for around 4-5 years and have been very pleasantly surprised how it has made coaching a large number of athletes very easy.

Vorteile:

The ease of use, implementing workouts and communicating with clients is one of my favorite qualities of the True Coach software.

Nachteile:

I have seen some other capablities on other platforms that would be really nice additions, like an easy ability to upload a personal instruction video. It is also not easy to pull up older statistics and data without having to either save it as a specific metric or have to go through and search through days/weeks/months of older training sessions.

Good quality CRM

Vorteile:

Adding products and creating subscriptions for our athletes was easy and intuitive. The customization of each athletes workouts as well the feature to create and assign programs works well with our gym model. The ability to add to an already existing exercise library that autocompletes suggestions is Aldo a nice feature.

Nachteile:

I would like to see the ability to add membership contracts as well as an e-sign function to accompany each membership. Single use payments would also be helpful to process through the software.

Review for TrueCoach

Kommentare: Overall, I've been extremely happy with TrueCoach and their customer service over the years. Communication has been improved over time as they've grown their team. Like I said previously, there have been some one-off issues in the past that disrupted my processes but were solved. After experimenting with similar software, nothing compares to TrueCoach.

Vorteile:

TrueCoach has provided a tool for me to be able to better communicate with my clients. Before TrueCoach I would spend countless hours messing with spreadsheets, email, and text messages. Their platform has allowed me to streamline my process so I can communicate better and more efficiently. The company is constantly innovating and reaching out to their clients for feedback that drives their improvements.

Nachteile:

Any software in its infancy will always have bugs and need improvements. Over the years there have been some issues that disabled usability or didn't allow me to access a feature at certain times. All in all, none of them have been a huge deal and they were eventually remediated. I'd like is billing/payment processing ability, but I know that has been in the works for a while long and assume there are good reasons it doesn't exist yet. The product works much better for individuals over teams. I'd love a platform where I could communicate with a team or group all at once vs solely in individual profiles. I.E. a chatroom or group similar to what exists on Facebook.

We love using TrueCoach

Kommentare: Love the app, simplicity, and features of the program. The customer service is always wonderful and clients love the gamification!

Vorteile:

I have used TrueCoach in my business for nearly 2 years and absolutely love it. The customer service is amazing and the product continues to evolve and improve.

Nachteile:

There are a few hiccups in the program I’d love for you all to look into. 1. When clicking out of an exercise the app seems to forget/erase the completed check mark. 2. When reviewing a client program days after completion, admin and trainers aren’t able to see the warm up. For us that is vital. 3. Having an app where you can program clients, not just communicate. Im sure you guys are working on this. 4. When uploading a new exercise into the app from our Google Drive the exercise won’t load for the first time in the warm up section. Not a big deal, but Im not sure if you are aware of that bug.
