The TrueCoach alternative for in-person coaching
TrueCoach is a strong tool for online coaching and remote workout delivery. If you coach in person, by the session, that's a different job — and Seshman is built for it.
TrueCoach turns up on every “best app for personal trainers” list, and for online coaches it earns the spot. The question to ask before signing up is which job you’re actually doing — coaching people remotely, or training them in person.
What TrueCoach is for
TrueCoach is online-coaching software: writing and delivering workout programmes, an exercise library with demo videos, logging client workouts, video feedback, and in-app messaging with clients you mostly coach at a distance. If your product is a programme someone follows on their own, that’s the toolkit.
What you do instead
You coach face to face. You sell blocks of sessions, you train people in a gym or a park or their home, you run the occasional class, and you keep track of who’s paid. The coaching happens in the room — what you need software for is the business around it.
Seshman vs TrueCoach
| Seshman | TrueCoach | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | In-person, session-based coaching | Online coaching & workout delivery |
| Workout programming | No — by design | Yes — its core |
| Session packs | First-class — the core unit | Not the model (programmes / subscriptions) |
| In-person classes | Yes — courses, weekly, drop-ins | Geared to online delivery |
| Client app | Free; balance, history, schedule | Programming & tracking focused |
| Pricing | Less than a single session a month | Subscription, scales with clients |
Use the right tool for the job
If your product is online programming and remote check-ins, use TrueCoach — Seshman doesn’t do that, and won’t pretend to. If your product is your time, in person, sold by the session, Seshman is built for exactly that.
