Your whole client list, in your pocket.
Coaching does not stop when you leave your desk. Log in to the Coachway app with your coach account and chat with every client, fire off a voice note, and clear your follow-ups from the gym floor or the sofa. The deep program-building stays on desktop where it belongs - the conversations come with you.
In short
A coach app lets trainers run their entire coaching business from a phone - reviewing check-ins, replying to clients, adjusting programs and tracking who needs attention. coachway's coach app mirrors the full platform, so a check-in that lands during a gym floor shift gets a same-day reply instead of waiting for laptop time.
One login, both sides
Sign in to the same Coachway app your clients use, with your coach credentials. Your whole client list is there, ready to message.
Answer in the moment
A quick voice note between sets often beats a perfect paragraph hours later. Keep clients feeling coached without being chained to your laptop.
Nothing slips
Push notifications surface new messages and check-ins so a client question never sits unseen for a day. Tap, reply, done.
Carrying your whole client list in one app is exactly what good client management software for personal trainers should do - our guide walks through what to look for. For how the coach app and the client app fit together, see personal trainer app.

Questions, answered
What can I do from the coachway coach app that normally needs a laptop?
The daily essentials: review client check-ins with their photos and data, reply by message, see who has gone quiet, and make program adjustments. Heavier building sessions - full program design, meal plan construction - most coaches still prefer on desktop.
I coach in a gym all day. Does the app fit that?
That is exactly the use case. Between sessions you can clear check-in replies, answer client questions and spot red flags from your phone, so your online clients get responses during the day instead of a batch reply at midnight.
Do notifications tell me when a client checks in or messages?
Yes - check-in submissions and client messages surface in the coach app, and the Power Panel inbox orders what needs attention first. The point is that nothing sits unseen for days because you were away from a desk.
Can I send voice notes and video messages to clients in Coachway?
Yes. In a client's chat you can send text, voice notes, video messages and images: click the microphone icon to record a voice note, or the video icon to record a video of up to 10 minutes. The recording keeps going while you scroll the client's check-in or workout data. From the phone app you can send text, voice notes and images with your normal coach login.
How do I send the same message to all my clients at once?
Use a broadcast. Go to Clients, clear any filters (or filter by coach or tag) and click Broadcast in the top-right corner, or tick specific clients and click Broadcast in the bottom bar. Each client gets it as a normal chat message with a push notification and cannot see it went to others. Insert Client First Name or Coach Full Name to personalise it, and attach images, videos, audio or documents.
How do I set reminders to follow up with a specific client?
Use Tasks. Open the client's profile, click Tasks in the top-right corner, write the task, pick a date (it defaults to tomorrow) and click Add Task. Tasks are private reminders that only you see, never the client. Once the due date passes the task shows as overdue, and the Task overdue filter on the Clients page shows overdue tasks across clients.
How do I share a PDF or welcome guide with a client in the app?
Upload it once to the Vault: go to Vault, click Upload Resource, give it a name and type and an optional description. Tick Available to all clients to share it with everyone, or send it from a chat with the vault icon. The client opens it under Lessons & documents in their app, and the Vault tab on the client's profile shows whether they have seen it.
Can my clients use the Coachway app in their own language?
Yes. Each client picks their language when setting up the app and can change it later under Profile, Settings, Personal Information. Menus, buttons and recipes from the Coachway database follow that choice, so two clients on the same plan can see different languages. Anything you write yourself, such as check-in forms, automation messages, chat messages, plan names and your own recipes, is shown exactly as you wrote it and is not translated.
Can I turn off chat for clients on a cheaper package?
Yes, chat can be switched off per client. Open the client's settings and toggle off Messaging with you, and that client can no longer send you messages. General chat settings, such as the maximum length of video and voice clips, live under Settings, General, Messaging. Coachway does not mark messages as read when you open them; you click Mark as read yourself, so unanswered clients stay visible.
