## What is Trainaq Coach?

Trainaq Coach is the personal trainer app for iPhone and Android where you run your coaching business: clients, programs, meal plans, check-ins, chat, your calendar, memberships and payments. Your clients use the free Trainaq app, and everything you do in Trainaq Coach also shows on the web dashboard at app.trainaq.com.

- Trainaq Coach and the web dashboard are on every plan. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and no card is needed.
- Sign in with email or mobile and a password, a one-time code, Apple or Google
- One login for every business you run or work in
- Plans are bought on the web; the iPhone app shows your plan’s status

## Why do personal trainers outgrow WhatsApp, spreadsheets and PDFs?

Because each one holds a piece of the job. Programs sit in PDFs, food logs in screenshots, payments in a notebook and bookings in your head. Past a handful of clients, something slips every week. One app that holds clients, plans, chat, bookings and payments shows you what needs doing next.

- **Chats bury the work.** Programs, photos and questions scroll away in one long thread per client, and nothing tells you who is waiting for a reply.
- **Money lives in a notebook.** Who paid in cash, who owes the rest and whose membership ends this week all depend on what you wrote down.
- **The calendar is your memory.** Clients message to ask for a slot, you check your phone, and a double booking is one busy day away.

## What can you do in Trainaq Coach?

Five tabs: Clients, Calendar, Messages, Business and More, with the library one tap from Clients. Each stop below is a real screen from the app on iPhone, filled with demo data for a fictional studio. The owner sees the whole business, and each coach on the team sees the clients they lead.

## What does Trainaq Coach share with the web dashboard?

Everything that matters: it is one account and one set of data. Clients, programs, meal plans, check-ins, messages, the calendar and the business are the same on your phone and at app.trainaq.com. Build a program on the web and assign it from your phone. A few tools live in only one place for now.

- Only in the app: the intake form builder, managing tags, support tickets and deleting your account

## Does Trainaq Coach work with a weak signal?

It needs a connection to load and save, but a dropped signal never signs you out, and a message that didn’t go stays in the chat as Not sent until you tap to retry. Your clients’ side is built for no signal: their sets, food logs and habit ticks save on the phone and sync later.

## How do you buy or change your Trainaq plan?

On the web. The owner picks a plan and add-ons at trainaq.com/billing. On iPhone, Trainaq Coach shows the plan’s status, client usage and coach accounts, with no prices; on Android it lists the plans and opens the same billing page. Trials, renewals and plan invoices are all handled on the web.

- Only the owner manages the plan
- Plans differ by active clients and coach accounts
- Without a trial or a paid plan the business turns read-only; nothing is deleted
