Coach training and nutrition in the same place you run everything else.
The workout builder, the food log and the progress record sit inside your Coachful workspace, next to your programs, payments, scheduling and community. Your client opens the app you already gave them. You open the client record you already use.
No second app for them to remember. No second inbox for you to check.

A training app is not the problem.
Running your business in two of them is.
Most coaches who add training or nutrition end up with a second product, a second subscription and a client who has to be told which app to open. This puts the same work inside Coachful
, beside the programs, payments, scheduling and community you already run there.
Two products
- Clients hold two logins and answer you in whichever app they opened last
- The workout history sits in one tool and the coaching notes in another
- Payments, sessions and programs never see the training data
- You pay for a second subscription to serve the same client
One business
- One login, one branded app, one place your client posts a win
- Workouts, meals and measurements sit on the client record you already read
- A workout can be a program week practice, a journey step, or a one-off assignment
- It installs into the workspace you are already paying for
Train, eat, weigh in.
All of it in your app.
Clients get the parts you switch on, and nothing else. A nutrition client never sees a workout tab.
Training
Every set is logged against what they lifted last time.
- Previous values sit beside the prescription, so progress is visible in the moment
- Personal bests and an estimated one-rep max per movement, kept automatically
- Supersets, circuits, intervals, AMRAP and EMOM run on a guided clock
- Left and right logged separately when the movement needs it
- Swap to an alternative you approved, without asking permission mid-session
- A session already open keeps working offline and syncs when the signal returns
Nutrition
Five ways to do it, because not every client should count calories.
- Habits, a written food journal, protein only, calories and macros, or a meal plan
- Calories can stay hidden for a client who should not be watching them
- Search a food database, or type a barcode to pull the exact product
- Scan the barcode with the phone camera and the product is logged
- Private meal photos for the days a number would not tell you much
- Targets can differ on training days and rest days
Progress
The record that makes a check-in conversation worth having.
- Weight, measurements and any custom metric you define, with your units
- Progress photos stay private to the client unless they choose to share
- A weekly check-in that already knows what they logged, so they do not retype it
- This week beside last week, with the sample count shown rather than implied
- Steps, sleep and weight can be brought in from a CSV export
Nutrition, per client
Habits
Tick the behaviours. No numbers at all.
Food journal
They write what they ate. You read it.
Protein
One number to hit. Nothing else tracked.
Calories & macros
Full targets, with calories optional on screen.
Meal plan
Your plan, with portions, swaps and a grocery list.
Build it, assign it, review it.
Build it once, in your own words
Write workouts in a builder that speaks your language: sets, rep ranges, load, rest, tempo, RIR, timed and distance work, supersets, circuits, intervals, AMRAP and EMOM. Pull movements from 601 illustrated exercises, or add your own with your own demo video. Recipes, recipe books and multi-day meal plans work the same way, with portions, alternatives and a grocery list the client can actually shop from.

Assign it where the client will meet it
Send a workout or a meal plan straight to a client, bind it to a week of a program, or make it a step in a journey. Set each client up for training, nutrition, both, or progress only. Move a single session to another day without touching the program everyone else is on.
Assign a workout

Review what actually happened
An attention queue ranks who needs you: reported discomfort first, then heavy effort, missed sessions, and reviews waiting to go out. You see what was performed against what was prescribed, write feedback with a voice note or a video attached, and approve a load or rep-range increase that applies to their next session rather than rewriting what they already did.

Exercise illustrations and data by RepDB. Exercise demonstration videos are not included; you can attach your own to any movement.
It plugs into the coaching you already do.
This is an extension of Coachful, not a second program engine bolted on beside it.
Programs
A workout or a meal plan becomes a practice inside a program week. Finishing the session ticks that day off, and it does not create a second task to tick.
Journeys
Training and nutrition can be steps in a journey, with the step completing on a performed session or a recorded meal rather than on opening a page.
Habits and check-ins
Your existing habits and check-in flows keep working. The weekly fitness check-in is a screen inside a normal Coachful flow, so you can add your own questions to it.
The client record
Workouts, meals, measurements and reviews sit on the same client page as their notes, sessions, payments and forms.
The Coachful assistant
Ask Coachful to draft a workout, a recipe or a meal plan, or to summarise what a client has logged. Every write shows you exactly what it will change and waits for your confirmation.
The client home screen
Today’s training, nutrition focus, progress and the weekly check-in are home widgets you place yourself, and hide for the clients who should not see them.
What it does, and what it does not.
The second list is the reason to trust the first one.
It does
- Builds workouts, exercises, recipes, recipe books and multi-day meal plans, versioned, with your own units.
- Logs sets with previous recorded values, personal bests, an estimated one-rep max, and separate left and right entries.
- Runs supersets, circuits, intervals, AMRAP and EMOM on a guided clock, with substitutions you approved in advance.
- Tracks nutrition as habits, a journal, protein, calories and macros, or a meal plan, with training and rest day targets.
- Looks up food by search or barcode, records portions, and stores private meal photos.
- Scans a product barcode with the phone camera and logs the product it finds.
- Records weight, measurements and custom metrics you define, plus private progress photos with side-by-side comparison.
- Gives you an attention queue, performed against prescribed evidence, and reviews with private audio or video feedback.
- Binds to program weeks and journey steps, and sends in-app and push reminders in the client’s own time zone.
It does not
- It does not sync with Apple Health or Android Health Connect yet. Steps, sleep and weight come in by CSV import today.
- It does not connect to Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop or Oura.
- It does not include exercise demonstration videos. The library is illustrated, and you attach your own videos.
- It does not read a photo of a meal and guess the calories.
- It does not change a client’s program on its own. Progression is proposed and you approve it.
- It is not a medical or diagnostic tool. Its observations point at evidence and stay descriptive.
- It is not HIPAA-certified. It is GDPR-ready, with full export and erasure.
Body data is the most personal thing a client will give you.
You can turn a module on. You cannot turn a client’s consent on for them.
The client decides what they share
Training, nutrition and measurements are separate choices. A client can read the plan you wrote, the targets you set and the names of the metrics you enabled before sharing anything at all, and can withdraw a category later without losing the plan.
Progress photos are private by default
Photos are stripped of their location and camera data, stored away from public URLs, and only ever returned to an authenticated request that is allowed to make it. There is no photo analysis.
Turning the pack off does not erase the work
Uninstalling hides the extra tabs, widgets and reminders and stops new logging. Histories, plans, targets, assets and client settings are kept, so reinstalling later picks up where it left off.
Export and erasure cover all of it
Workouts, meals, measurements, photos, weekly check-ins and reviews are part of the normal Coachful data export and account erasure, not a separate store you have to chase.
Straight answers
What coaches ask before they switch their training and nutrition work over.
Put the training and the coaching
in the same app.
Set your workspace up, install the power-up, and your clients keep the login they already have.
Built for coaches who take their clients seriously
