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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Easy to Use and Professional

Kommentare: Overall it's been very positive. I would like to try and start learning how to use Excel to save on the cost of this software.

Vorteile:

It is very easy to deliver workouts to all of my clients and they receive daily notifications when they do have a workout in their plan. I don't have to text them individually to make sure to get it done. It's very professional looking and clients love to see the graphs they can create to view their own progress.

Nachteile:

I have 24 clients and I wish I could pay per slot instead of in large groups because I have to pay for six additional slots that I don't use with a 30 person plan

Good product, needs some work

Vorteile:

Easy to assign and keep up with workouts

Nachteile:

About half the time, videos won't upload whether via wi-fi, 4G, or 5G. End up needing to use another app/service to send.

True Coach review

Vorteile:

True Coach is a software that helps athletes keep track of their performance and stay in shape. Fitness instructors use it to keep their clients in shape.

Nachteile:

Overall True Coach is a great software to have for your business when in training and to help your clients stay fit all year long.

Review of True Coach

Vorteile:

I like the ease of use for clients and the ability to keep tabs on my clients

Nachteile:

it can be difficult to find certain exercises in the library but if i shoot my own video the ease of uploading is quite high

A must for coaches to stay organized

Kommentare: Overall, truecoach is super responsive. They get back to me in minutes and have always been helpful! I’ll be a customer for a long time! They have come a long way from Fitbot!

Vorteile:

Truecoach is very easy to begin working with clients or athletes. Easy to use, program, and implement. I use it daily to program and communicate. Truecoach is always updating so now I can bill, create pre-written programs and access more movement videos. They even reached out to see how they could improve more. I love that they now have a feature (coach profiles) where you can now advertise through truecoach and have a lead system in place.

Nachteile:

Sometimes Truecoach will glitch on either my end or the client’s making it hard for me to program or clients to access programming but it’s very rare. Hoping that truecoach will make a teams section to that coaches working with athletes will have a better way with working with large amount of athletes. Also hoping they can integrate with Whoop and other software programs besides just myfitnesspal.

TrueCoach is the Industry Standard!

Kommentare: The biggest help TrueCoach has provided is scalability. Without the platform, I probably wouldn't be able to handle more than a few clients along with my Master's studies. Now I have almost 10 and feel in complete control, even looking to bring on another coach soon.

Vorteile:

I love the workout builder, various features of client management (weight, metrics, notes, etc.) messaging, and integration of payments. Being able to sync with MyFitnessPal is also so convenient to help clients track nutrition as well. TrueCoach is easy to use and has saved me countless hours of adminstrative work so I get to make better connections with my clients and get them results.

Nachteile:

I would love to see the addition of habit-based nutrition coaching and other metrics for lifestyle, such as sleep and meditation. Making TrueCoach a one-stop-shop for health coaching would be the dream. There are also occasional bugs with myself and clients with the app, but they have remedied themselves over time.

The best option for individual fitness programming.

Kommentare: Our team loves TrueCoach. Other platforms I've used, especially in the functional fitness realm, can be limiting to certain types or styles of workouts. If I can dream it up, I can program it in TrueCoach. TrueCoach has greatly opened up our ability to remote coach effectively. It allows us to have a higher level of communication and connection with our off-site AND on-site clients through its multiple touchpoints from workout results, to comments, to chat features.

Vorteile:

Go beyond simply assigning sets and reps. The more freeform style of TrueCoach allows you to program more complex pieces and add nuance while still providing great organization of training cycles, weeks and individual workouts. I would love to see where they can go with the metrics tracking but it's already come a long way in the two years I've been using the software. TC seems to really listen to the coaches using the platform and continue to upgrade and innovate to improve the efficiency and experience of programming workouts. The addition of an iPhone app also greatly improved my client's experience by making it even easier to access workouts, communicate via message, access movement demo videos and smoothly upload their videos for me to review.

Nachteile:

Rarely, but on occasion, the screen will freeze up and/or not save the workout I'm in as intended. If the internet connection isn't stellar this seems to happen quite a bit more. Most noticeable when traveling and using other wifi sources. I've gotten home from trips and had people ask if I really wanted them to do the same workout 3 times? It hadn't shown that way on my end but clearly kept re-saving which was obvious when logging back in later.

True Coach is the truth... for functional fitness.

Kommentare: I absolutely love True Coach. The platform is consistent with the direction of fitness and I believe their staff continues to keep their fingers on the pulse of the functional fitness industry.

Vorteile:

I love the library of information that is available to me. I’m a CrossFit enthusiast, certified by NASM-CPT, PES, CES, BCS, CNC (CNC pending), NCSF-CPT, and I believe it is within my scope of practice to use mixed modal training (I do not Rx benchmark WOD’s for clients), but not call it CrossFit. A lot of the exercises available are things that I use for clients, i.e., front squats, back squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell work. I even program for myself, which is a big plus for me. I especially like that True Coach doesn’t cater specifically to the Bodybuilding community (nothing against the BBC). Bodybuilding has its place, but the average consumer can find that stuff anywhere. Today, everone does bodybuilding splits. As a professional, its not my cup of tea. I also love the fact that i can program for online, in-person, and/or both types of clients. It makes my business scalable monitarily and is a great tool.

Nachteile:

I could use some waiver forms, or have the ability to upload my own. Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough, but that would be great. How about workout cards for the day... spoke with someone on how to blow up the workout on your screen, but something wirh an actual filing system/archive option. If i was given an opportunity to be a part of the True Coach team, I’d take it. I’d like to see calculations for measurements and more data - as it relates to the client, in order to quantify their improvements. Again, maybe I’m not looking hard enough at the platform.

My daily go-to!

Kommentare: Overall I'm loving this. Easy to use, easy to learn, performs well, stable, and even the tech support team is awesome.

Vorteile:

I like how intuitive this software is. I can design my own programs, add habits and nutrition into each client's plan, communicate with my clients and make changes on the fly. And payments and subscriptions are automated, so I don't need to deal with reminding and collecting!

Nachteile:

I wish there was a mobile version where I could make changes to clients plan, not just for communication.

TrueCoach is for the Clients and Coaches

Kommentare: I believe TrueCoach has saved me so much time and energy this past year of using it with clients and I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Vorteile:

I like how it is easy to navigate, the ability to upload youtube videos or personal videos of myself performing new exercises that the Exercise Library does not have, and the ability to archive old workout plans that may be used for common exercise plans for others. In addition, the percentages of the compliance rate helps because it lets me know which clients that need more attention towards.

Nachteile:

The software having to be used on Safari, how slow it can get, the glitches where I would copy a specific workout to place it onto another day and another copy of another workout would upload instead, and the random glitches it has at times in general.

Solid App

Kommentare: I've used other apps similar to this, but true coach really just made it a lot easier and a lot more streamlined. Essentially saving me time, and time is money.

Vorteile:

I like how easy it is to use on my end as well as on my clients end, as well as a lot of the features like tracking measurements, photos, and being able to connect to my fitness pal. It's easy to write programs, as I don't need to type the exact exercise in the search bar. It uses more keywords, which is very convenient and very nice.

Nachteile:

Sometimes I feel like it's kind of pricey, the initial price of 50 bucks isn't too bad from 0 to 20 clients, but then I pretty much doubles once you get 21 clients. This is fine, and I understand it, it's more that I personally usually flow around 25 clients and for those additional five clients I paid more than double what I initially paid. Although, I feel like there's enough in value and it really streamlines my work that the extra costs don't matter.

True coach for online pt

Kommentare: Good. Once set up easy to navigate and use. Even for the nine tech type.

Vorteile:

Once everything was added like my own exercise library it was quick and easy to use. Easy to pick existing workouts and swap and change things for individual clients.

Nachteile:

It wasn’t easy to search through and find the videos that I had uploaded. This is probably due to me not tagging videos for certain areas if the body eta .

A Phenomenal System for Remote Coaching

Kommentare: overall TrueCoach is the system I have chosen for years and will continue to use, I do check out other systems periodically but non seem to have the smooth finish that they have

Vorteile:

I love the fact that it creates a easy to use and effective system to deliver remote coaching. for myself the majority of my clients are remote and don't have a lot of disposable income. But TrueCoach allows me to work with them easily through the remote delivery, and the price point makes it extremely affordable to use it as a management software for them when building my own would cost significantly more.

Nachteile:

there isn't much to hate about the system, its billed and designed to be an individual design remote coaching software and it does that phenomenally. But I do feel it lacks the ability to easily integrate or deliver mass market programs, ie cookie cutter programs. I would love to see them integrate a subscription service into their system which allows for mass market programs to be delivered using the admin accounts existing exercise library and programs, with an automatic cut off if payment is canceled or doesn't go through.

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.
