Reimagine group coaching as your next growth multiplier
Every fitness coach wants to earn more while freeing up more time—and TrueCoach can make that happen. If you’ve been coaching 1:1, you already know the ceiling: your hours are limited, and scaling feels impossible without sacrificing client quality.
Group fitness coaching solves that problem. It lets you serve dozens (or even hundreds) of clients at once—without any drop in quality. Even better, you can use the TrueCoach tools you already know and love to make it happen: Programs, Group Messages, Tagging, and Mass Assignments.
With a smart structure, you can turn TrueCoach into your business’s most scalable revenue system. This guide walks you through exactly how to do it, step-by-step.

Why Group Coaching Multiplies Your Revenue
The economics of fitness coaching are simple. One-on-one sessions are valuable but capped—you can’t serve more clients without taking more hours. Group coaching flips that model by creating a low-ticket, high-volume offer that anyone can join.
A $59 group program with 50 people enrolled earns more than a $250 monthly 1:1 plan—and it requires less time. It’s also the perfect entry point for those who aren’t ready to invest in high-ticket coaching yet.
As Zen Planner notes, “Group programs bring more members through the door because they offer value, accountability, and results at a lower per-person cost”.
The real power is in what happens after that group program. Once clients have experienced your coaching, they trust you—and are ready for the next level. That makes group programs natural lead funnels into high-ticket 1:1 or specialized coaching offers.
Step 1: Create Scalable Group Programs in TrueCoach
Use Programs to Streamline Setup
Your first step is to create a reusable program inside TrueCoach. You’ll find this feature under the Programs tab on your dashboard. Each program can include customized workouts, coaching notes, and prescribed progressions.
From there, you can:
- Build a full cycle of workouts using drag-and-drop functionality.
- Upload your preferred exercise videos from the 3,500+ preloaded library.
- Save your structure to easily clone later for future challenges or group cohorts.
“Programs make it easy to deliver templated, automated experiences that can be scaled to dozens of clients with just a few clicks.” (TrueCoach Program Builder Guide)
Time-Saving Templates
Once your first program is built, save it as a template. Next time, simply open, rename, and reassign—it takes minutes rather than hours. TrueCoach allows instant duplication and modification of any program for multiple clients or groups at once.
Pro Tip: Build Seasonal Offerings
Group coaching programs perform best when built around clear goals or events.
Examples:
- “6-Week New Year Challenge”
- “Summer Strong Bootcamp”
- “October Shred Series”
Each of these can run as a repeatable campaign where you simply adjust dates and refresh branding—not programming.
Step 2: Use Group Messaging to Build Community
Create a Group Message Thread
In TrueCoach, head to Messaging > New Message to create a new group thread. Give your message a name (e.g., “January Jumpstart Crew”), add the relevant clients, and you’re ready to communicate at scale.
You can include text, video messages, GIFs, or check-in polls to keep your group engaged. Messages are delivered right inside the TrueCoach app—so all communication stays in one place.
“The Groups feature makes it simple to deliver shared programming and communicate at scale—no third-party platforms needed.” (TrueCoach Blog: Managing Multiple Offer Types)
Practical Engagement Ideas
- Post daily encouragement or “leaderboard” updates.
- Share nutrition and mindset tips throughout the week.
- Spotlight client wins to keep everyone motivated.
- Drop video summaries on Mondays to kick off the week.
Group communication fuels accountability—and with accountability comes retention.
Step 3: Organize Clients with Tags and Groups
Tagging for Segmentation
Tags make it easy to track and manage different client types inside TrueCoach. You can label programs or clients by goal, challenge, or program cycle (e.g., “Fat Loss Challenge Q1” or “Strength Cohort”).
To add tags, open any client profile or program, click Manage Tags, and create a new label. Once assigned, you can filter your dashboard to view progress or message all tagged clients at once.
You can even layer multiple tags for clients who participate in different programs or who are ready for the next level.
“Grouping and tagging clients improves organization, automates updates, and provides a faster way to message or assign workouts.” (TrueCoach Help: Client Grouping)
Build Upsell Paths with Tags
Use tags strategically to upsell clients after each program. For example:
- Tag all members of the “6-Week Challenge.”
- After successful completion, send a group message offering a premium 1:1 package or personalized nutrition coaching.
According to SmartHealthClubs, “targeted upsells can increase revenue by as much as 42% when offered after a high-value group experience”.
Step 4: Mass Assign Workouts and Programs
How to Assign Workouts in Bulk
Whether you’re running a 4-week group program or ongoing challenge, the mass assign feature is your best friend. It allows you to apply the same workouts, habit trackers, or lesson notes to all clients in a group simultaneously.
Steps:
- Go to your group view under Clients > Groups.
- Select all relevant participants.
- Choose the program or specific workout from your library.
- Click Assign Workout or Assign Program.
This ensures every client receives identical programming without manual duplication.
Efficiency Callout: “Assign the same program to multiple clients with just a few clicks—reducing admin time by up to 90%.” (TrueCoach Blog: Managing Multiple Offer Types)
Step 5: Build and Automate Your Revenue Funnel
Start with Entry-Level Offers
Your group program serves as your business’s lead magnet. Offer an affordable, accessible program (like $49–$99 for 6 weeks) to expand your reach.
TrueCoach enables fully digital delivery—meaning you can onboard dozens of clients instantly, provide prewritten workouts, and communicate directly through the app.
Transition to Personalized Offers
At the end of a challenge, use Group Messaging and Tags to promote the next step, such as:
- 1:1 personalized coaching plans.
- Specialty programs like “Strength 2.0” or “Nutrition Deep Dive.”
- Habit or accountability coaching add-ons.
This funnel keeps your audience engaged at multiple investment levels.
“Digital programs with automated delivery make it possible to serve more clients at scale while maintaining a personal touch.” (TrueCoach Digital Program Documentation)
Step 6: Maintaining Engagement and Retention
Keeping clients engaged post-sale ensures ongoing cash flow. TrueCoach allows you to track program completion, client compliance, and progress metrics—all visible on your dashboard.
You can track:
- Workout completion rates.
- Progress photos and body metrics.
- Habit and nutrition compliance.
These built-in analytics highlight strong performers for testimonials or ideal upsell candidates. They also let you quickly see who needs a nudge in the group message.
Pro Tip: Use client badges and milestone alerts as triggers to send personalized congratulations messages—it reinforces motivation and increases retention.
Step 7: Launch Your Group Fitness Offer
Here’s a simple seven-step checklist to bring everything together:
- Define your offer and theme: Choose a 4–6 week challenge focused on transformation.
- Create your program: Build using TrueCoach’s Workout Generator or Program Builder.
- Tag clients and prospects: Segment by group or campaign using Client Tagging.
- Mass assign your workouts: Push your new program to all enrolled participants instantly.
- Create a group message: Open communication, share updates, and post motivation.
- Track engagement: Monitor completion and client feedback throughout.
- Upsell strategically: Offer high-ticket options post-challenge to engaged members.
