Top 10 Skool Alternatives for Fitness Coaches in 2026

The best skool alternatives for fitness coaches run your group and also deliver the training: workouts clients log set by set, nutrition targets, weekly check-ins with progress photos, and the booking and payments around them. Skool does the group part well. A classroom, a feed, a calendar and a leaderboard in one place is a fine home for a challenge or a members club. What it cannot do is program a squat, record a PR, hold a client's macros or tell you which of your 30 clients went quiet this week. So the real question is not "which community app is nicer than Skool" but "where should my coaching itself live?"

Our pick is Coachful, because it puts the community, the programs, the workout and nutrition tools, booking, payments and the website behind one login, and your client gets one branded app instead of a Skool group plus a training app plus a payment link. We make Coachful, so weigh that, and read the nine other options below: each one beats Coachful for a specific setup, and we say which.

This guide is built for decisions. Answer five quick questions about your practice, use the table to see which tools fit your answers, then read the ranked sections and the cost table at 5, 15 and 40 clients. If you coach outside fitness, our broader list of Skool alternatives for coaches covers the general case.

What do fitness coaches need from a Skool alternative?

A fitness coach needs a place where training is delivered and tracked per client, not just discussed in a feed. Skool was designed around communities, and its own pricing page lists the same feature set on both plans: unlimited members, courses, videos and live calls. For an online trainer, the gaps show up in the week-to-week work.

• Per-client programming. A hypertrophy block for one client and a return-to-running plan for another cannot both live in one shared classroom. You need workouts assigned to a person, with sets, reps, tempo, supersets and rest built in.
• Logging and history. Clients need to log what they actually lifted so you can see set history and PRs before you adjust next week's loading.
• Nutrition. Calorie and macro targets, meal plans, recipes and a way to log food. Skool has none of these.
• Check-ins and progress. A weekly check-in with bodyweight, measurements and private progress photos is the backbone of most online coaching offers. Photos posted in a community feed are the opposite of private.
• Form review. A client uploads a deadlift video and you comment at the exact second the hips shoot up. Skool posts and DMs are not built for that.
• Commerce you control. Skool takes payments only through Skool Payments. The Hobby plan charges 10% + 30¢ on every transaction and Pro charges 2.9% + 30¢ (3.9% + 30¢ above $900), per Skool's help center in October 2026, and those fees are non-refundable.
• A front door. Skool has no custom-domain website, funnels or email automation, so the free 7-day challenge, the application form and the follow-up emails all have to live somewhere else.

Two more points matter when you leave. Skool's member export, as of our September 2026 profile, is a CSV of names, emails, join dates and membership answers; posts, DMs and course progress do not come with you. And on Trustpilot, Skool held a 1.6 rating from 54 reviews when we checked in October 2026. Our Skool review and Skool pricing breakdown go deeper on both.

One scope line before the tools. Online fitness coaching is not medical treatment or medical nutrition therapy. If a client reports pain, an injury, a heart or metabolic condition, pregnancy complications or signs of disordered eating, refer them to a physician, physiotherapist or registered dietitian, and keep coaching inside what your qualification covers. Our guide on whether you need a certification to be a fitness coach covers where those lines usually sit.

Which Skool alternative fits your practice? Answer these 5 questions

Write down a one-line answer to each question. Your answers point to a short list faster than any feature comparison.

1. Do you sell programs or sessions? If clients buy a 12-week transformation or a monthly coaching tier, you need programs with weekly structure. If they buy live sessions, booking and session credits come first.
2. Is your community the product or a support for the product? A paid members club where the feed is the value is different from a coaching offer where the group is there for accountability.
3. How many active clients will you have in 12 months: about 5, 15 or 40? Fitness apps price by client count, community tools price flat, and the cheapest choice flips as you grow.
4. What else are you paying for today? List your website, email tool, booking tool, contract tool and training app next to Skool. That total, not one subscription, is the number to beat.
5. How much setup time do you have? Rebuilding a program library, a sales page and an onboarding flow can take weeks. If you have a few evenings, help with the build matters as much as features.

Which tool matches your answers?

Find the row that sounds most like your answers. Most coaches will see their practice in the first row; the rest describe narrower setups.

How did we choose and rank these 10 tools?

We started from what a fitness coach leaving Skool loses or keeps: the group, the course library and the calendar they already have, plus the training delivery, check-ins and commerce Skool never had. A tool made this list only if it can either replace Skool's community for fitness clients or deliver the training Skool cannot, with public pricing (or a clear note where pricing is missing). Vendor prices and limits come from each vendor's pricing page as listed in October 2026; ratings are the Trustpilot scores we saw on the same dates. We did not run hands-on tests, so we report what vendors document and what public reviewers say.

Ranking criteria: one login for the whole client journey, training and check-in delivery between sessions, total stack cost at your client count, and setup effort, including any free build help.

1. Coachful: where does the whole fitness client journey live in one app?

Coachful is a coaching platform where one subscription covers booking, payments, contracts, program delivery with habits and check-ins, courses, a community, a website with funnels and email, and an AI assistant. The coach has one login; the client gets one app carrying the coach's branding. It is built for coaches who deliver programs rather than just sessions, solo coaches growing into a small team, and coaches replacing four to six tools. For a fitness coach coming from Skool, that means the group you already run keeps a home, and the training finally sits next to it.

What replaces your Skool group and classroom?

The community side covers what Skool did: a feed, group chat, direct messages and video events, plus group calls and webinars. The difference is how groups form. When a client enrolls in a program, Coachful creates the cohort group automatically, so your "8-Week Strength Foundations" cohort gets its own space without you building one by hand. Courses with modules, lessons, drip release and completion tracking replace the Skool classroom, and they appear in the same branded home as the client's training.

Programs are where it moves past Skool. A multi-week program holds weekly goals, daily tasks, habits, morning and evening check-ins, goals with progress bars and streaks. A client opening the app on Tuesday sees today's session, today's habits and this week's target, not a feed they have to scroll.

How does training and nutrition delivery work?

Coachful's Fitness & Nutrition pack adds a workout builder with an exercise library of illustrated exercises, supporting supersets, circuits, AMRAP, EMOM, intervals and tempo. Clients log workouts and you see set history and PRs. Nutrition goes up to calorie and macro targets, with meal plans, recipes, food lookup and barcode scanning. Clients upload private progress photos and measurements, complete weekly check-ins, and send private form-check videos that you answer with timestamped comments. Challenges give the group a shared goal, the job Skool's leaderboard used to do.

Two honest limits for fitness coaches. There is no Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop or Oura sync, and Apple Health sync is not available publicly. And there are no stock exercise videos: the library is illustrated, and you attach your own demo videos. If wearable data drives your coaching, weigh that before you switch.

This short walkthrough shows how programs are built and delivered inside Coachful.

What about booking, payments and your front door?

Booking pages handle availability rules, buffers, minimum notice and time-zone detection, with two-way Google, Apple and Outlook calendar sync and built-in video or auto-created Zoom, Meet or Teams links. Paid sessions and session credits suit coaches who sell monthly calls alongside a program. Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account: one-time, subscriptions, payment plans, order bumps, coupons, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Coachful has charged a 0% platform fee since August 2026; you pay only Stripe or Razorpay processing. Coaching agreements with e-signature go out before the first call, and intake questions on booking put a client's training history on file before you write week one.

The section-based website builder, booking, application, lead-magnet and checkout funnels, and email sequences with triggers and branching replace the separate site and email tool most Skool owners pay for. The client record pulls goals, check-ins, habits, notes, intake answers, payments and sessions together and marks each client as thriving, active, quiet or at risk, so the person who skipped two check-ins surfaces before they cancel. Michelle, the built-in AI assistant, briefs you before sessions and drafts programs and emails from your live practice data. See the Coachful for fitness coaches page for the full fitness setup.

Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create, choose "We'll build it for you · FREE", describe what you want, attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files such as your logo, photos and existing program documents, and the Coachful team builds it inside your account, usually within about 24 hours. For a fitness coach that could be your website, your challenge funnel, a 12-week program outline, an onboarding email sequence or your check-in form. Nothing gets invented: no fake credentials, testimonials or prices, and gaps are left for you to fill. It does not cover recording your exercise videos, logo design or running ads. One recent build gave a menopause and midlife health coach a five-page site where every button led to a free 20-minute consultation. Read more about the free white-glove service.

What Coachful does not do: it is not HIPAA-certified and is not for clinical records or insurance billing; it has no PayPal and no permanent free plan; and your client app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding rather than under your own App Store account. To start, open a free trial and request a white-glove build on day one (current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients). Trustpilot showed 4.5 from 21 reviews in October 2026.

2. ABC Trainerize: is a dedicated training app enough?

For pure training delivery, ABC Trainerize is one of the most complete apps in this list. It covers workouts, habits, nutrition tracking and messaging, and it prices by client seats, so a coach with two clients pays very little. As listed in October 2026, Basic is free for 1 client, Grow is $10/month for 2 clients, and Pro starts at $25/month ($23 billed annually) for 5 clients. The pricing page's own FAQ says Pro scales to $135/month for up to 50 clients, and Studio Plus starts at $275/month for larger fitness businesses. The 30-day trial includes unlimited clients with no card, then reverts to the free 1-client plan without a charge.

For a Skool refugee, the catch is everything around the training. Scheduling, selling products, payments, video and advanced nutrition are separate paid add-ons below the studio tier, and the pricing page lists a $169 one-time setup fee for a custom branded app on Pro (plus Apple's $99/year developer fee). Trainerize has no course builder, website, funnels or email marketing. If your Skool classroom held a library of mobility courses and your Skool group was where people hung out, you will still need somewhere for both.

On export, our older profile notes that Trainerize's client data export leaves out messages, photos and attachments, which is worth knowing before you put years of check-ins into any tool. Trustpilot showed 3.1 from 100 reviews in October 2026.

Pick it over Coachful if you only need a training app, you already run your website, payments and community elsewhere and are happy to keep them, and wearable sync or a large stock exercise video library matters to how you coach.

3. Everfit: can you start free and grow into it?

Everfit's appeal is the free entry. Its Starter plan is free forever for up to 5 clients, which makes it a low-risk first step for a coach who has been running free accountability in a Skool group and now wants to sell a first paid program. Pro scales by client count as listed in October 2026: $19/month for 5 clients, $29 for 10, $49 for 20, $95 for 50 and up to $290 for 300 (annual billing is lower). Studio starts at $105/month for 50 clients. There is a 30-day trial with no card and no contract.

The app covers workouts, habits, nutrition and messaging. Automation (Everfit calls it Autoflow), payments and meal plans are paid add-ons, so the price you see per client tier is not the price of a complete setup if you want those. There is no course builder, website, funnels or email marketing, which means your Skool classroom content and your landing pages have to stay somewhere else.

Public reviews are thin: Trustpilot showed 2.7 from 16 reviews in October 2026, too few to read much into either way. Because pricing climbs with every client tier, model your 12-month client count before you commit; at 40 clients you are on the 50-client tier.

Pick it over Coachful if you have five or fewer clients, want to spend nothing while you test a paid offer, and are fine leaving community, courses and your website in other tools for now.

4. Circle: what if your community is the product?

Circle is the closest like-for-like swap for Skool's community itself. It offers spaces, courses, events, live streams and paid memberships, with more layout control than a single Skool feed. A fitness coach running a paid members club, with monthly challenges, a recipe space and coach Q&A, will find Circle a more flexible home. Our Skool vs Circle comparison covers that head-to-head.

As listed in October 2026, Professional is $89/month billed annually with 3 admins and 10 moderators, Business is $199/month billed annually, and Scale is $419/month billed annually; the monthly prices were not printed in our notes. Circle also takes a fee on payments: 2% on Professional, 1% on Business and Scale, and 0.5% on custom-priced Circle Plus, on top of Stripe processing. There is a 14-day trial with no card required. Branded mobile apps are only on Circle Plus, which has custom pricing.

The fitness gap is the same as Skool's. Circle has no 1:1 scheduling or client back office, no per-client habits, check-ins or coaching plans, and no workout builder or logging. You would pair it with a training app from this list, which puts you back at two logins for your clients. Trustpilot showed 4.1 from 129 reviews in October 2026.

Pick it over Coachful if your business is a large paid community where training plans are generic or delivered as courses, and you want the most configurable community spaces on this list.

5. Mighty Networks: livestreams and member apps for a fitness community

Mighty Networks combines community, courses and events, with members using Mighty-branded apps. Livestreaming is built in, which suits a coach who runs live group workouts or form clinics for members. Plans as listed in October 2026: Launch at $95/month ($79 billed annually) with 3 hosts, 200 GB of storage and 20 livestream hours a month for up to 100 attendees; Scale at $215/month ($179 annually) with 30 livestream hours for 200 attendees; and Growth at $354/month billed annually. Trials run 14 days with no card and include Growth features.

There is a platform fee on sales on top of Stripe processing: 2% on Launch, 1% on Scale and 0.5% on Growth and Mighty Pro. Your own branded app is only on Mighty Pro, which has custom pricing.

For fitness work, Mighty has no 1:1 scheduling, invoicing or contracts, and no per-client habits, check-ins or private coaching plans. A live group class works well; a private macro adjustment for one client does not have a natural home. Trustpilot showed 3.3 from 219 reviews in October 2026. If you are weighing it against Skool for running masterminds or group programs, our guide on hosting client masterminds without Skool walks through the group format.

Pick it over Coachful if live group classes and a large member community drive your revenue, 1:1 programming is a small part of what you sell, and you want livestream hours built into the plan.

6. Kajabi: when recorded programs and funnels come first

Kajabi is a course, community, website, funnel and email platform for selling knowledge products. A fitness coach with a library of recorded programs (a 6-week kettlebell course, a postnatal core series) and a marketing machine around them will find Kajabi handles the selling well. As listed in October 2026, Basic is $179/month ($143 billed annually) with 5 products, 2,500 contacts, 1 community and 0 AI credits; Growth is $249/month ($199 annually) with 50 products and 25,000 contacts; Pro is $499/month ($399 annually). The trial is 14 days, and a card is optional.

Kajabi Payments in the US costs 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, slightly less on higher plans, and using another provider (other than PayPal) adds a Kajabi fee of 2% on Basic, 1% on Growth or 0.5% on Pro.

What Kajabi does not do is the daily coaching layer: no habit tracking, no daily client check-ins, no per-client plans and no workout logging. Coaching is sold as products and communities. Five products on Basic also fill up fast if you sell a few programs plus a challenge and a membership. Trustpilot showed 3.4 from 2,347 reviews in October 2026. For more options in this direction, see our Kajabi alternatives for fitness coaches and Kajabi vs Skool.

Pick it over Coachful if most of your revenue comes from self-paced recorded programs sold to large audiences, and individual client tracking is something you rarely do.

7. HubFit: a low flat price for a growing client list

HubFit is a fitness and online-training app covering programs, nutrition, habits and check-ins. Its pricing is friendly to coaches in the middle range: Standard is $39/month ($33 billed annually) for up to 50 clients, Premium is $69/month ($57 annually) for up to 100 clients, and Ultimate is $119/month ($99 annually) for 100 clients, scaling up to 500. The app is free for clients and there is a 14-day trial on every plan.

The fine print matters. Branding and payments start at Premium, so the Standard price only works if you take payments elsewhere. Team members and Zapier start at Ultimate, and a branded app is a $189/month add-on. Our older profile notes no scheduling or booking, no video calls, no contracts and no website builder. There is no community feed to replace your Skool group, so you would keep Skool or another community tool alongside it.

Trustpilot showed 5.0 from 390 reviews in October 2026, the highest score in this list.

Pick it over Coachful if you coach 15 to 50 clients, want a low flat training-app price, and are content to keep booking, contracts, community and your website in separate tools.

8. TrueCoach: strength programming without the extras

TrueCoach is a strength and fitness programming app priced by active-client caps. Coaches who write detailed training blocks and want clients to follow them in a clean app are its core audience. As listed in October 2026 (annual billing): Starter is $26.34/month for up to 5 active clients, Standard $57.99/month for up to 20, and Pro $136.99/month for up to 50; above that is a custom plan. The trial is 14 days with no card, and first-time annual subscribers get a 90-day money-back guarantee, with restrictions.

Payments run through Stripe, with no extra TrueCoach fees according to its FAQ. Our older profile notes that in-app payments are limited to coaches in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, which rules it out for many coaches in Europe and Asia.

Outside programming, the list of gaps is long for a Skool replacement. Our older profile notes no video calls, contracts, courses, community or website, and the pricing page lists no scheduling. That means TrueCoach replaces none of what you used Skool for; it adds the training layer Skool lacked. Trustpilot showed 2.4 from 19 reviews in October 2026.

Pick it over Coachful if you coach strength athletes, programming detail is the only thing you need software for, and you bank in one of the four supported payment countries.

9. PT Distinction: how does per-client overage pricing compare?

PT Distinction covers programs, nutrition, check-ins, automations and a client app. Its pricing mixes a base plan with per-client overage, as listed in October 2026: Basic is $19.90/month with 3 clients included and $6.00/month per extra client after a free first month; Pro is $59.90/month with 25 clients and $2.40 per extra; Master is $89.90/month with 50 clients and $1.60 per extra. The first month is a free trial, and you can cancel in that month and pay nothing.

This model rewards accuracy. At 5 clients on Basic you pay the base plus two overage seats; at 15 you are better off on Pro; at 40, Master costs less than Pro plus 15 overage seats. A branded client app is included from Pro, not Basic.

For a coach leaving Skool, the gaps are the group and the storefront: the pricing page shows no course builder, community or website and funnel builder. Automations are part of the documented feature set, which helps with check-in reminders and onboarding inside the training app. Trustpilot showed 4.8 from 297 reviews in October 2026.

Pick it over Coachful if you want a mature training app with automations, prefer paying per client as you grow, and keep your community and sales pages elsewhere.

10. My PT Hub: built for hybrid personal trainers

My PT Hub is personal-trainer software with workouts, nutrition, bookings, payments, habits, check-ins and a client app. Including bookings and payments makes it more complete than most training apps here, which suits a trainer who sees some clients in a gym and coaches others online. As listed in October 2026: Starter is $25/month ($22.50 annually) for 3 clients (a My PT Hub blog post says 5), Premium is $59/month ($52 annually) for unlimited clients, workouts and nutrition plans, and Ultimate is $215/month ($195 annually) with 5 additional trainers. The 30-day trial needs no card and drops to a free plan at the end.

The screenshot above shows prices in euros, because the page localizes; the USD figures here come from our verified notes. A white-label App Store listing is a paid add-on below Ultimate. The pricing page shows no course builder, website, funnels or email marketing, and no community feed, so your Skool group and classroom would need another home.

Trustpilot showed 4.4 from 2,557 reviews in October 2026, a large review base for this category.

Pick it over Coachful if you run a hybrid in-person and online training business, need bookings and payments inside a trainer-specific app, and do not need courses, a community or a website from the same tool.

What does each option cost at 5, 15 and 40 clients?

Monthly prices below are as listed in October 2026, at the lowest plan that covers each client count. Community tools price flat; fitness apps price by client. None of the training apps include a website, email or community, so add those tools' cost to compare like for like. For context on what fitness coaching itself sells for, see how much a fitness coach costs.

As an example of the stack math, a coach at 15 clients who keeps Skool Pro ($99) for community and adds Everfit's 20-client tier ($49) pays $148 a month before any website, email or booking tool, and still pays Skool's 2.9% + 30¢ on every sale. Run the same exercise with your own tools from question 4 above. If you are still deciding how to package app-only and live-call tiers, our guide to pricing app-only and live-call fitness coaching helps set the numbers.

How would a fitness coach set this up in Coachful?

Here is an example setup for a coach moving a 12-week strength program and a free challenge group off Skool. The program and numbers are illustrative.

1. Request the build. From Create, ask for a white-glove build: a website, a free 7-day challenge funnel and the 12-week program outline. Attach your logo, photos and your current program document.
2. Export from Skool. Download the member CSV (names, emails, join dates, membership answers). Save any posts and course material you want to keep by hand, since they do not export.
3. Build the training. In the workout builder, set up week 1 with your own demo videos attached to each exercise, then copy and adjust for the following weeks. Add calorie and macro targets for clients on a nutrition track.
4. Set the weekly rhythm. Add a Sunday weekly check-in with bodyweight, measurements and progress photos, plus a morning check-in for sleep and energy and a daily steps habit.
5. Connect payments and agreements. Connect your Stripe account, create the program offer as a one-time payment or a payment plan, and attach a coaching agreement that clients sign before their first call.
6. Open the booking page. Add a free 20-minute consult with intake questions, and a paid monthly check-in call.
7. Move the group. Enroll your first cohort; Coachful creates the cohort group automatically. Invite your Skool members to the challenge funnel with an email broadcast.
8. Watch the client record. After week one, check which clients are marked quiet or at risk and message them before the second check-in.

For getting the first clients through that funnel, our playbook on getting online fitness coaching clients covers the outreach side.

What red flags and switching costs should you watch for?

The biggest switching cost is what stays behind. Plan for these before you announce a move.

• Data you cannot export. Skool's posts, DMs and course progress do not leave with you (per our September 2026 profile). Several training apps have their own limits; Trainerize's export, per our older profile, omits messages, photos and attachments. Ask any new vendor exactly what its export includes, especially progress photos and check-in history.
• Transaction fees that scale with you. Skool Hobby's 10% + 30¢ and the 0.5% to 2% fees on Circle, Mighty Networks and Kajabi's non-native processors grow with every sale. A flat price with no platform fee is easier to plan around.
• Add-ons that double the price. On several fitness apps, payments, scheduling, automation, meal plans or a branded app cost extra. Price the plan you will actually run, not the headline tier.
• Client caps you will outgrow. Starter tiers at 3 or 5 clients look cheap and force an upgrade the month your launch works.
• Two logins for clients. Keeping Skool for the group and adding a training app means clients check two apps. Every extra app is one more place a check-in gets missed.
• Scope creep. A nutrition tool makes it easy to drift into meal plans for clients with medical conditions. Keep a referral list of physicians, physiotherapists and registered dietitians, and use it.
• Payment country limits. Confirm your country is supported for in-app payments before you migrate subscriptions; TrueCoach, per our older profile, supports only four.

Which Skool alternative should a fitness coach pick?

Pick Coachful if you sell programs and want your community, training, nutrition, check-ins, booking, payments and website in one login, with a free white-glove build to get you moved. Pick Circle or Mighty Networks if your community is the product and training is generic. Pick ABC Trainerize, Everfit, HubFit, TrueCoach, PT Distinction or My PT Hub if you only need a training app and are content to keep your group and sales pages elsewhere. For the wider field of training software, see our best fitness coaching software roundup, and our Coachful vs Skool comparison for a side-by-side.

Frequently asked questions

Can Skool work as a fitness coaching platform on its own?

Skool can host a fitness community, a course library and live calls, but it has no per-client workout programming, logging, nutrition targets, habits or private check-ins. Most fitness coaches using Skool pair it with a training app and a separate website and email tool. That is the setup the tools in this list aim to simplify.

What is the cheapest Skool alternative for a new fitness coach?

Everfit's Starter plan is free for up to 5 clients and ABC Trainerize is free for 1 client, as listed in October 2026. Both cover training only, so add the cost of your website, payments and community if you need them. Compare the total stack, not one plan.

Can I move my Skool members to another platform?

Yes, partly. Skool lets you export members to CSV with names, emails, join dates and membership answers, per our September 2026 profile, but posts, DMs and course progress do not export. Plan to re-upload courses and invite members by email to the new home.

Does Coachful sync with Garmin, Apple Health or Whoop?

No. Coachful has no Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop or Oura sync, and Apple Health sync is not available publicly. Clients log workouts, measurements and habits in the app. If wearable data is central to how you coach, factor that in.

Does Coachful include exercise demo videos?

Coachful's exercise library uses illustrated exercises, not stock videos. You attach your own demo videos to each exercise, so clients see your cues rather than a stranger's.

What is Coachful's free white-glove build service?

It is a free service on every plan: you describe what you want built, such as a website, funnel, program, email sequence or check-in form, attach up to 8 links and 10 files, and the Coachful team builds it in your account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing is invented, so gaps like testimonials or prices are left for you. It does not include recording videos, logo design or running ads.

Is Skool or a fitness app better for group challenges?

Skool's leaderboard and feed suit challenges where engagement is the goal. A fitness app is better when the challenge has workouts to log and habits to track. Coachful has challenges alongside workout logging and a community, so the challenge and the training happen in one place.

Can online fitness coaches give nutrition advice on these platforms?

The software lets you set calorie and macro targets and share meal plans, but what you may advise depends on your qualifications and location. Coaching is not medical nutrition therapy; refer clients with medical conditions or signs of disordered eating to a registered dietitian or physician.

Which of these tools take a cut of my sales?

As listed in October 2026, Skool charges 10% + 30¢ on Hobby and 2.9% + 30¢ on Pro; Circle and Mighty Networks charge 0.5% to 2% depending on plan; Kajabi adds 0.5% to 2% if you use a processor other than Kajabi Payments or PayPal. Coachful charges a 0% platform fee, leaving only Stripe or Razorpay processing.

Can I run a small team of trainers on these tools?

Coachful's Studio and Agency team plans add coach seats with per-coach availability and staff permissions. My PT Hub's Ultimate plan includes 5 additional trainers, and HubFit adds team members at Ultimate. Check seat counts before you hire.
