Frequently Asked Questions
Does CoachingPortal have as many exercise videos as TrueCoach?+
TrueCoach has an impressive 3,000+ video library built over 10 years. We have 1,500+ professional exercise videos and allow unlimited custom video uploads. Many coaches prefer uploading their own branded videos.
What if I don't need meal planning?+
That's fine! While meal planning is included, you don't have to use it. Many coaches use CoachingPortal solely for exercise programming and client management, still saving $55/mo vs TrueCoach Pro.
Does TrueCoach have any nutrition features?+
TrueCoach integrates with MyFitnessPal for macro tracking and allows coaches to upload PDF meal plans. However, it lacks a built-in meal plan builder, recipe library, and barcode scanner that CoachingPortal offers.
Do you have wearable integrations like TrueCoach?+
TrueCoach integrates with Apple Health, Garmin, OURA, and Fitbit. We don't currently offer wearable integrations as we focus on core coaching features, but we welcome feedback for our roadmap.
