An Absolute Must Investment for Personal Trainers / Gym Owners
The behavior change programs are outstanding. Even better is the fact that you can create your own or modify existing programs that sound like you and your brand, not someone else. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and their team do a phenomenal job of updating the software, the app, and continually pursuing "better" with the product.
CONSI'm old school when it comes to writing programs. Although CC's program builder is much better than anybody else that I've used, I still prefer writing my programs on Microsoft Word.
Reason for choosing Coach Catalyst
Much more robust (yet simple) and holistic. Again, you can tell this was built by coaches who truly get that this isn't just about working out and building training programs.
Reasons for switching to Coach Catalyst
Technically, I didn't switch. I was already using Coach Catalyst and at the time we didn't have the ability to build out programs so I gave exercise.com a shot. Exercise.com was a bit too robust, complicated, and didn't have what I call "coaching features" built into their program. What I mean by this is that Coach Catalyst is built by actual coaches (personal trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, whatever title you prefer to call yourself) and it's obvious.

A great platform for both me AND my clients!
A great product and excellent support make my job easier and my income higher!
PROSI tried multiple other platforms for months at a time only to be frustrated with the time it took to get set up and running. With Coach Catalyst, my clients were using the app in only 3 days!
CONSHonestly, I’m only sad it took me so long to find it. I honestly don’t have anything to report that I dislike. It may not be as robust as other platforms but they continue to add functionality regularly.
Reason for choosing Coach Catalyst
Ease of use for me and my clients. Plus, the support from the Coach Catalyst team is off the charts!
Reasons for switching to Coach Catalyst
Too much stuff I didn’t need or use. My clients don’t need to see all the elements available to everybody. They only need to see what’s relevant to their program. And as far as programming, I did more in Coach Catalyst in three days that I did in other platforms over three months.

Keeps getting better
This software has allowed me to stop using google sheets to track client progress and share workouts. My clients have 1 app that they use to get workouts, daily accountability, store their personal data, and so much more. Before I was using multiple apps and/or google sheets to hold all this information.
PROSI love how easy to use as a coach and for clients. I have a few clients that are 70+ and are able to use the app with ease. I use all of the features offered and it doesn't feel overwhelming or too complicated. It is clear to use and works perfectly for my business structure.
CONSI'm looking forward to communities being added. I have run Facebook groups in the past, but so many clients don't use Facebook I don't feel like the group is much of an added benefit. The communities feature will hopefully fill that gap in my offer.
Reasons for switching to Coach Catalyst
I was using a lot of different apps but none of them did everything that I wanted them to do. When I made the switch to Coach Catalyst I was able to cancel all my other services and stop using google sheets to track any missing information.

We love coach catalyst!
Clients love the challenges and the workouts that we can deliver, along with any homework, on their calendar.
PROSThe customer service has been second to none--and most of the issues have been on my end, not theirs. The workout builder is super quick and easy to use and the preloaded challenges are very good and easily modified.
CONSI think the biggest weakness is the messaging system. Coaches don't like using a separate app for communication and clients prefer using texts. It's been a hard sell to get everyone to change.
Reason for choosing Coach Catalyst
I liked what I could tell about [SENSITIVE CONTENT]. They are committed to the industry in a personal way. The price point fit our budget and it delivered exactly what we needed without a bunch of stuff like scheduling and payment collection that we didn't need.

Excellent software from a fantastic team!
Amazing software. Great, extremely responsive and fast acting team.
PROSThe ease of use for both the creator (coach) AND the end user (client). Most nutrition software is overly complicated on both ends creating more work for the coach, and less buy in from the client. I have higher client success rates due to the compliance I see from my clients using CC.
CONSNothing at all. Any tiny details that need improvement are continually being improved upon.
Reasons for switching to Coach Catalyst
Simplicity of use, all the “big rocks” done with excellence. They understand the needs of their users best.

Best all in one coaching app out there
I'm able to fully coach all of my clients on one space. The owners of Coach Catalyst are responsive and extremely helpful with any issue you might have learning or using the software. They deeply care about their users and the overall experience. The app itself allows one to coach in any capacity at a high level in a very professional format and setting. I love working with this company and using their amazing software!
PROSIt's made by real people who are gym owners! They understand what health and fitness coaches need because they made everything from what they would want in an app! It's adaptable and constantly evolving to be better! Love that it is lesson and action based since health and wellness revolves around learning and taking action!
CONSSometimes the messaging feature is glitchy, but they are constantly working on it to make everything work well!
Reason for choosing Coach Catalyst
Love the price, people who ran the company, and features CC had!

Great platform for fitness and wellness!
I love Coach Catalyst. [SENSITIVE CONTENT], are two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. The only thing I will say is that it is hard to imagine them getting enough sleep. It seems like no matter what time I reach out, they are around and happy to respond to silly questions with fun gifs.
PROSCoach Catalyst is a fantastic app for delivering educational content and accountability tracking. We use the software to deliver daily content to our subscribers, to offer programs and challenges, to offer clients support with accountability tracking and to stay in touch via in app messaging. The software is an all-in-one solution for any fitness company looking to truly support clients to improve their health and fitness. This platform has been a game changer - it allowed us to distinguish ourselves from just another online class provider to a comprehensive at home wellness solution for those who find it hard to stay consistent with wellness goals. This app allowed us to offer our services at a higher price than competitors and more than paid for itself many times over.
CONSWhenever I think there is a feature missing, the app creators are one step ahead. The only missing feature I can think of is a community feature where challenge participants can connect with each other (off of Facebook). This feature is coming soon!

Best Business Decision I've Made
Great software, super facebook community to share ideas, and outstanding customer service.
PROSI struggle with technology, but needed a system to better communicate with my clients and automate some of my processes. With CC I'm not only able to do that, but to simplify my processes and give my clients more of my attention. It's easy to use, quick to set up and get started, and the customer service has been incredible (especially when I feel like I may be asking dumb questions). The help menus are extensive, and now with the workout builder included, I feel like I can be a much better coach. I like that they are open to feedback, always looking to improve functionality and expand what it can do, and not grubbing for extra cash for every feature you want to include. The pricing is more than fair, and I love how customizable everything is. I haven't been using it very long, but I'm pretty sure I'll find plenty more to love about it as I go along!
CONSThere isn't much to say about that yet, as I'm new and still learning. So far all the "issues" I've had have been strictly down to my lack of tech skills, and the answers are easy to find. The only "con" so far was that I had entered my credit card details so that my free trial could run seamlessly into the paid version and it didn't happen - I had to go in and re-enter the information after I realized my account had been shut down. BUT, it could easily have been due to the fact that it's an international charge and my bank delayed putting it through - I don't know for sure, but it was immediately remedied when I went in and re-entered the card details.
Reason for choosing Coach Catalyst
The ease of use, the customizability, and the ability to use it free for 30 days without the need for a credit card.

Provide A Branded, Intuitive Experience For Your Clients and Team
-Clean, intuitive client experience for workouts and habit tracking -Simple set-up for workouts, habits, challenges and other features for our team -Ability to get a custom branded app -Tremendous flexibility to create a completely unique, branded program for clients in person or online -Zapier integration -Excellent customer service to help you tackle any issue that you're having -Great value
CONSThe only potential con is does this service's features match what you're looking for? This program is perfect for us because it had what we wanted and excluded what we didn't want, such as the ability to have skype calls, myfitnesspal and other integrations that could complicate the user experience for us. You may not feel the same way.

Highly Recommend for Nutrition coaches!
This has been a game changer for my clients and myself to make tracking progress so much easier instead of using Google Docs and Forms like I was using before.
PROSSuper easy to use and get started with even if you are just beginning and only have a few clients. The support Coach Catalyst offers is outstanding anytime I needed help or had a question they responded quickly and was able to help me.
CONSIn the beginning they didn't have forms or payment methods, but they keep getting better and better and have both of these options in the app now.

Would Know What To So Without It
Coach Catalyst is the MAIN communication for our clients so it plays a HUGE roll in our business. I love the fact that support is always there to help when I have issues or need help.
PROSI've been using Coach Catalyst for about 5 years now. It helps me be able to coach all 150 clients easier. It allows me to still be a customized program BUT also scale it. I love how they have constantly made improvements and it much like having another employee doing all the work for me except for much less money.
CONSI actually can't think of too many cons. With any apps, there are going to be some glitzes but those tend to go away with updating the app or deleting it and adding it back.

Happy Client for 4+ Years
My overall experience is great! Whenever I have anything urgent, they reply directly and immediately and are very open and honest.
PROSOne of my favorite things is that they are always innovating and taking feedback to improve things. I have used the software since the early days and it has evolved a ton. We primarily use it to communicate with clients and coach them through various programs. It is a great way to brand your business and provide a high level of accountability for clients.

Great time management for groups of clients and organizing programs.
This software has really helped me manage my time and use the years of programming I've already put together out there for my clients in an easy to understand way.
PROSTheir customer support is fantastic which is extremely helpful. I also love the ability to start a program and change it or update it even while clients are in the program. I can take my client's feedback and make necessary adjustments based on what they need without them noticing anything has changed at all - this was a huge aspect for me to continue using the software.
CONSWould still love the ability to have a library of workouts clients can reference on their own without having to leave the software. I'm confident the team at Coach Catalyst will find a solution for this.

Customer Service for Coach Catalyst is EXCEPTIONAL!
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Coach Catalyst. Their customer service is phenomenal, their response time is incredible, and they never hit you with an auto-responder and ticket number... they dive right into communicating with you and helping you optimize working with their product. My clients love the experience of using this app, and I even like that you can brand it with your own brand colours, logo, etc.. 10/10 would recommend!!
PROSCoach Catalyst is easy to use, and helped me set up an automated nutrition program that I can sell while I sleep directly from my website, to guide clients through better eating habits. For my 1-on-1 nutrition coaching clients, it's very user-friendly to customize their healthy habits that they're working on, while saving me a ton of time and energy to set things up and track their consistency.
CONSSometimes Coach Catalyst can load a bit on the slower side, but I've seen definite improvements in speed as their team has worked on the back end to improve this feature.

Coach Catalyst is truly a catalyst for client behavior change!
CC gave me the perfect platform for managing and coaching my nutrition clients in a way that aligns perfectly with habit-based coaching. The platform is slick and engaging. The customer service is outstanding. The people at CC are more than happy to help and even jump on a call. They are constantly bringing updates to make the platform even better and are super engaged with their clients (us coaches).
PROSCC aligns perfectly with the Precision Nutrition methodology of nutrition coaching. I love the ability to create and assign programs that virtually run themselves. The actions/habits are fantastic. The customer support is awesome.
CONSIt would be nice if it linked to MFP only because so many clients use it but that's not a deal breaker.
Reason for choosing Coach Catalyst
