What do you need to coach clients online?
Build programs, deliver them through your branded app, track every metric, and get paid. One platform replaces your entire coaching stack.
Assign programs to any client, anywhere
Build a program in the workout builder, then assign it to one client or many at once. Clients see the program on their phone immediately. No PDFs, no spreadsheets, no back-and-forth.
Clients train on your branded app
Your clients open a mobile app with your branding. They see their assigned program, log every set and rep, watch exercise video demos, and track their progress. It looks like your app, not ours.
Track progress photos, measurements, and body weight
Clients upload progress photos, log body measurements, and record daily weigh-ins from the app. You see everything on your dashboard with comparison views and trend charts. No more asking clients to send photos over text.
Stay connected with comments, likes, and notifications
Comment on your clients' completed workouts with feedback or encouragement. Like their logs to show you are watching. Clients get push notifications so they never miss a message from their coach.
Sell coaching packages with Stripe
Create program packages with your own pricing. Clients purchase directly through your branded app using Stripe. You keep 100% of the revenue. One-time payments and recurring subscriptions are both supported.
Onboard new clients with custom forms
Send intake forms, PAR-Q questionnaires, or weekly check-in forms to clients. Collect goals, injury history, dietary preferences, and availability. Responses are stored on the client's profile in your dashboard.
Sell programs to online clients
Monetize your coaching with Stripe-integrated program sales. Create packages with one-time or recurring pricing. Share a link, clients pay and get instant access. 0% commission with Pro Tools. Learn more about selling programs.
Educational content delivery
Create nutrition guides, recovery protocols, and training philosophy articles using the content builder. Clients access lessons in their app's Learn tab. Scale your knowledge to every client without repeating yourself.
Automated engagement at scale
With Pro Tools automations, welcome messages fire when clients join, congratulations when they hit PRs, and weekly reports go out automatically. Maintain personal touch at any client count.

What is an online coaching platform for personal trainers?
An online coaching platform for personal trainers is software that lets you deliver training programs, track client progress, and communicate with clients remotely. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, PDFs, WhatsApp groups, and separate payment tools, everything lives in one platform that your clients access through a branded mobile app.
Why personal trainers are moving online
- Scale beyond gym hours. In-person training is limited to the hours you are physically available. Online coaching lets you serve clients across time zones while you sleep, eat, or train other clients.
- No geographic limits. Your client base is no longer limited to people who live near your gym. With online coaching, anyone in the world can train with you.
- Higher profit margins. Online coaching has near-zero overhead. No rent, no commute, no scheduling conflicts. You spend your time programming and coaching, not standing around waiting for clients.
- Clients prefer flexibility. Most working adults cannot commit to fixed training times. Online coaching lets clients train whenever their schedule allows while still following your program and getting your feedback.
FitPros.io gives you everything you need to coach online for free. Build programs in the workout builder, deliver them through the client app, manage your roster with the client management dashboard, and build your online presence with a free website.

Common questions about online coaching
Is online coaching on FitPros really free?
Yes. You can add unlimited online clients, assign programs, track progress, and communicate through the app at no cost. There are no per-client fees and no monthly subscription required for core coaching features.
How do clients access their programs?
Clients log into your branded mobile app (works on any phone browser or as an installable PWA). They see their assigned programs, tap into each workout, and log their sets and reps as they train. Exercise video demos are included so clients know exactly what to do.
Can I coach clients who live in different cities or countries?
Yes. Everything is delivered digitally through the app. Your clients can be anywhere in the world. They see their program, log workouts, upload progress photos, and receive your feedback all from their phone.
How do I track my online clients' progress?
Your dashboard shows each client's workout completion, progress photos with comparison views, body measurements with trend charts, body weight tracking, and personal records. You can see exactly who is training and who might need a check-in.
Can I sell programs to online clients?
Yes. Connect your Stripe account and create program packages with your own pricing. Clients purchase directly through your branded app. You keep 100% of the revenue. Both one-time payments and recurring subscriptions are supported.
What communication tools are available?
You can comment on your clients' completed workouts with feedback or coaching cues. Liking their workout logs shows them you are watching their progress. Clients receive push notifications for your comments. You can also send custom forms for check-ins.
Do my clients see FitPros branding?
Your clients see your logo and brand colors in their app. It looks and feels like your own coaching platform, not a third-party tool.
How many online clients can I have?
Unlimited. There are no per-client fees and no caps on how many clients you can add. Whether you have 5 clients or 500, the platform is free.
Can I use this for hybrid coaching (online and in-person)?
Yes. Many trainers use FitPros for both online and in-person clients. The workflow is the same: assign programs, track progress, and communicate through the app. The only difference is whether the client trains at your gym or at theirs.
How is this different from sending workouts over email or PDF?
With email and PDFs, clients cannot log their workouts, you cannot see who actually trained, there are no exercise video demos, no progress photo tracking, and no built-in communication. FitPros replaces all of that with a single app that handles everything automatically.
Can I deliver educational content to my online clients?
Yes. The content builder lets you create nutrition guides, recovery protocols, training philosophy articles, and any other educational material. Clients access these lessons in the Learn tab of their app. You write the content once and every client benefits from it.
Are there automation tools for online coaching?
Yes. With Pro Tools automations, you can set up automatic welcome messages when new clients join, congratulations when they hit personal records, and weekly progress reports. These automations help you maintain a personal touch even as your client roster grows.
