Frequently asked questions

What’s the main difference between TrueCoach and Hevy Coach?

TrueCoach is built specifically for personal trainers and fitness coaches who need a comprehensive, all-in-one platform for client management, workout programming, and business scaling. It offers advanced features like client messaging, progress tracking, and automation that help coaches engage with clients more effectively and grow their businesses. Hevy Coach on the other hand lacks many of the business growth tools that TrueCoach provides, such as automated payments, habit tracking, and custom branding.

Can I customize my coaching experience on these platforms?

Yes! TrueCoach offers full custom branding, allowing you to personalize the platform with your own logo, colors, and style of programming, creating a professional, branded experience for your clients. Hevy Coach does not offer custom branding, meaning you and your clients use the generic Hevy platform.

Which platform is better for client engagement?

TrueCoach excels in client engagement with its built-in habit tracking, in-app messaging, progress tracking, and automated check-ins. These features help keep your clients accountable and engaged. Hevy Coach has basic workout logging but lacks the advanced engagement tools that are built into TrueCoach.

How do these platforms handle workout programming?

TrueCoach provides a fully customizable workout builder with video demonstrations, exercise libraries, and tracking features for complete control over how you design your programs. This allows you to create personalized plans for each client. Hevy Coach, however, provides more generic fitness plans, which limits customization and makes it harder to tailor workouts to individual client needs.

Does TrueCoach or Hevy Coach offer nutrition and habit tracking?

TrueCoach includes nutrition logging and habit tracking, offering a holistic approach to coaching that goes beyond just workouts. This is especially helpful for clients aiming for long-term results. Hevy Coach does not focus on habit tracking or individualized nutrition support, making it less effective for providing comprehensive coaching.

Can I accept payments through these platforms?

Yes, TrueCoach integrates seamlessly with Stripe, allowing you to process one-time payments, subscriptions, and automated billing directly through the platform. Hevy Coach does not offer integrated payment processing, meaning you’ll need to manage payments outside of the app.

Which platform is better for scaling my coaching business?

TrueCoach is the clear choice for scaling your business. With advanced features like automated workflows, client management tools, custom branding, and payment integration, TrueCoach helps you manage and grow your business with ease. It’s designed to automate much of the administrative work, allowing you to focus more on coaching. Hevy Coach lacks many of these scalability features, so it’s better suited for coaches looking for a basic workout logging tool rather than a full business management solution.

Does TrueCoach offer a free trial?

Yes! TrueCoach provides a 14-day free trial, allowing trainers to test all features before committing. Hevy Coach does not offer a comparable free trial for personal trainers.
