Common questions
How is GoCoach different from Trainerize or TrueCoach?+
Trainerize and TrueCoach are workout delivery apps. GoCoach is a full business operating system. You get delivery PLUS the marketing, sales, sites, AI mentor, and live coaching that actually grow a training business.
Is GoCoach really free?+
Yes. The starter plan is free for life. You get client delivery tools, habit tracking, and messaging at no cost. Upgrade to the $197/month Business Systems plan when you want the full Academy, live coaching, and AI mentor.
Is CoachCast better than Zoom for personal training?+
For trainer-client sessions, yes. CoachCast removes the 40-minute cap, drops the app requirement, and adds a side panel for workouts and notes. Zoom is a generic meeting tool. CoachCast was built for coaching.
Do my clients have to install anything to use CoachCast?+
No. They click a link and join in their browser. Works on phone, tablet, or laptop.
How does TrainSpace compare to Skool?+
Skool is a great community tool, but you still need to build your own courses, hire video editors, and bolt on coaching software. TrainSpace combines a community feed, an AI course builder that drafts a full course in minutes, live coaching calls, and a built-in video room. You can launch a paid community and a full course faster than anywhere else.
Can I really build a course faster on TrainSpace than on Skool or Kajabi?+
Yes. The built-in AI course builder turns a topic and a few bullet points into a structured course with modules, lessons, and prompts. You edit, publish, and start enrolling. Skool and Kajabi expect you to write and record everything from scratch.
Can I switch from Trainerize, TrueCoach, or Skool to TrainSpace?+
Yes. Most trainers move clients over in 2 days. Our Dynasty launch program walks you through migrating program templates, client lists, courses, and billing without losing momentum.
