What It Is

Coachific is an online coaching platform for fitness, health, and nutrition coaches. Its core idea is not just to deliver workout plans, but to combine private communities, course content, client tracking, messaging, and membership subscriptions. It is a good fit for coaches who want to move offline personal training or studio services online and improve client retention.

Core Features

The platform covers five core areas: training, nutrition, habits, community, and payments. For training, coaches can create custom workouts, exercises, video instructions, audio guidance, and progress tracking. For nutrition, it offers macro tracking, food logs, recipes, meal guides, and MyFitnessPal integration. For communication, it supports 1-on-1 private messaging as well as rich-media broadcasts to all clients. Its community and course features include discussions, a content library, tutorials, full coaching programs, check-ins, challenges, assessments, and push notifications. For growth and retention, it provides points, badges, rewards, leaderboards, and integrations with wearables such as Apple Health, FitBit, and Withings.

Pricing and Monetization

Coachific offers a 7-day free trial and states that no credit card is required. Tinker is $9.99/month and charges per client; Mover supports 100 clients at $99.99/month, or $79.99/month when billed annually; Shaker supports 500 clients at $299.99/month, or $239.99/month when billed annually, and includes a branded app and custom domain. The platform says there are no setup fees, no long-term contracts, cancel anytime, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. On the payments side, it supports gateways such as Stripe and PayPal, as well as recurring membership subscriptions, and states that it does not take a commission.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is that it offers a complete vertical solution, bringing together workout delivery, nutrition management, community engagement, client tracking, and payments into one closed loop. It is also friendly to branded operations, with higher-tier plans allowing coaches to launch their own iOS/Android app and use a custom domain. The drawbacks are that API and developer support are not disclosed, and the exact per-client pricing for Tinker is unclear. Security and compliance are described only as “best security practices,” with no visible SOC 2, ISO, HIPAA, or similar certifications.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Coachific is best suited to independent personal trainers, CrossFit gyms, fitness studios, and online health coaching teams—especially businesses that already have paying clients and need membership subscriptions plus long-term community operations. Access from mainland China is unknown. Payment options disclosed include Stripe and PayPal, but there is no visible support for WeChat Pay, Alipay, or RMB. If your main audience is in China, it may be worth comparing Coachific with Xiaoe Tech, Zhishi Xingqiu, WeCom communities, and domestic fitness management tools.
