About
TrueCoach is a comprehensive online coaching platform purpose-built for fitness professionals, including personal trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, nutrition coaches, CrossFit gym owners, physical therapists, and university sports educators. At its core is a powerful Workout Builder that lets coaches create, save, and schedule custom programs in minutes—no spreadsheets required. A library of over 3,000 professional exercise videos (with the option to upload custom content) makes it easy to coach any modality remotely. Nutrition coaching is covered through meal plan uploads, calorie goal setting, and two-way MyFitnessPal sync. Habit tracking and wearable device integration round out the wellness picture by auto-logging client activity and lifestyle check-ins. On the client management side, a real-time dashboard surfaces progress milestones and key metrics, while built-in messaging keeps communication centralized. Business tools include automated Stripe-powered subscription billing, public profile pages for capturing new leads, custom branding to white-label the experience, and a Business Planner for organizing growth goals. An AI Meal Plan Generator further saves coaches time on nutrition programming. TrueCoach is ideal for solo coaches launching their practice, established trainers scaling their client base, and larger organizations like recreation centers or university athletic departments seeking a centralized digital coaching solution.
