A coaching platform that respects your methodology
Your settings per client, templates you build once, and an on-demand AI summary of every check-in. The engine proposes some adjustments on its own; you approve or reject them.
Your methodology, per client, not just notes
Every coach-client relationship carries its own settings: progression method, macro split, deload protocol, carb cycling rules. Override anything the AI suggests. What you believe about training is what your client's app does.
Build a hypertrophy block once, save it as a template, and apply it across your roster in a click. Then tune the clients who need tuning.
Bring your own clients: one place to coach them all
MuscleBuddy is the toolset that runs your billing too: connect your Stripe account, and clients subscribe through a checkout we host, so there's no manual invoicing to wire up. We take a 20-30% share of each client's subscription for running that billing, on top of your Coach plan. The app gives you a single dashboard for each client's training, nutrition, and check-ins.
Invite a client by email; they create an account and link to you. When a relationship ends, the client keeps their data and you simply lose access: no lock-in on either side.
Check-in analysis that surfaces real signal
Your client logs sleep, soreness, resting heart rate, weight, photos, and whatever they want to say in their own words. Pull an AI summary of it on demand: the trends, and what's worth a look.
Separately, a queue holds the engine's own proposed adjustments, from a weigh-in trend, a wearable recovery signal, a flare check-in, and a few other sources. Approve or reject each one; the client sees only what you approved, never a raw proposal.
Frequently asked
- How many clients does the Coach tier support?
Up to 20 active clients on the Coach tier ($29.99/mo). Larger rosters belong on the gym tier, so email garrett@garrettmakesit.com and we will size it with you.
- Can I onboard clients I already coach elsewhere?
Yes. Invite them by email; they create an account and the relationship is established. There is no automated import from another platform yet, so their history starts here. Email garrett@garrettmakesit.com if you have an export and want help with it.
- Does the AI replace coach decisions?
No. The AI proposes; the coach approves. Every adjustment to a client's program or macros goes through your approval queue before the client sees it.
- What happens to client data if I leave a platform?
The client owns their data. If you end the relationship, you lose access; the client keeps their history. We never sell data and never claim client data ownership.
- How is this different from Trainerize or TrueCoach?
See /vs/trainerize and /vs/truecoach for the head-to-head. Short version: those are excellent client-management platforms. We add training, nutrition, health and upkeep that react to logged data on the same stack.
