Built for the actual work
The features that have to exist for coaching software to be useful. One app instead of four.
Cycle-aware programming
Athletes opt in, log a period (or sync from HealthKit and Health Connect), and prescribed work adapts to the phase they're in. Coaches author one rule per training cycle covering volume, intensity, RPE caps, and cardio zones, and the platform applies it. Three starter templates are included. Sharing with the coach is a separate switch from tracking, and every coach view writes an audit entry the athlete can see.
Strength programming
Cycle-based plans that run on any length of cycle from 5 to 9 days, not locked to a 7-day week. Every set carries its own RPE, RIR, tempo, and intensity percentage. Dropsets, rest-pause, clusters, AMRAP, and EMOM are first-class techniques you prescribe directly. Linear, DUP, block, and 5-3-1 periodization templates auto-apply per-cycle modifiers. e1RM tracking handles bodyweight lifts using system mass. A seven-type PR ledger, a plate calculator with microplates, and weekly plateau detection all live alongside.
Nutrition tracking
Macro logging, custom meal plans, supplement schedules, a recipe builder backed by a platform-curated library of public-domain recipes, and a food database with 2.5 million items and barcode scanning. Athletes can track calories, macros, fibre, and ten micronutrients (sodium, cholesterol, saturated fat, trans fat, vitamins A, C, D, calcium, iron, potassium). Coaches can prescribe different macros for training days, rest days, and weekend refeeds, and stack a menstrual-phase adjustment on top. The athlete sees a one-tap breakdown of every modifier that landed on today's target. A single weekly compliance score gives coach and athlete a shared view of how the week landed against the plan.
Progress check-ins
Progress photos with side-by-side comparison and overlay modes, body measurements, and wellness tracking. Template-based check-ins on Basic and Pro, and a custom check-in form builder on Colossal. Async video feedback unlocks on Pro and above. BMR, TDEE, and BMI calculators are included throughout.
Recovery & deload tracking
Recovery is part of the program, not an afterthought. Coaches prescribe recovery sessions from 19 modalities, attach them to a workout day, set a target duration, attach a video, and reuse them as templates or recurring routines. Athletes log duration, a post-session feeling score, mood, a soreness delta, and the body parts they worked, which feeds a soreness heatmap. Sessions sync from Apple Health or Health Connect or get logged by hand. The whole surface is wired into the automation engine.
Real-time messaging
1:1 chat with voice notes, file sharing, reactions, read receipts, and typing indicators is included on every plan. Voice notes record with waveform playback at 1×, 1.5×, or 2× speed. Group messaging unlocks on Colossal. Coaches use the web dashboard, and the joint Colossus mobile app is available free on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Cycle-aware programming
Programming that knows what week of the cycle you're in. Opt-in, private by default, and never active without your consent.
Strength programming
Cycle-based plans with per-set RPE, RIR, tempo, and intensity. Periodization templates, e1RM tracking, and plate calculators are all included.
Nutrition tracking
A food database with 2.5 million items, a built-in recipe library, barcode scanning, macros, ten micronutrients, training-day vs rest-day macro splits that stack with menstrual-phase adjustments, and a weekly compliance score.
Progress check-ins
Progress photos with overlay, body measurements, and wellness tracking, plus custom check-in templates and async video feedback.
Recovery & deload tracking
Coach-planned recovery sessions across 19 modalities, with a soreness heatmap, post-session feeling and mood logging, and Apple Health / Health Connect sync.
Real-time messaging
1:1 chat with voice notes, file sharing, reactions, and read receipts. Group messaging unlocks on Colossal.

Yes. One Colossus app serves both athletes and coaches, a single iOS / Android binary with a one-tap toggle between training mode (workouts, nutrition, check-ins, voice notes, badges, barcode scanning) and coach mode (clients, calendar, check-in review, payouts, automations, team). Most platforms split coach and client into separate apps; Colossus keeps them under one login. The app is live now on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, free to download. The app is always free for athletes. Coaches can also run their business from the web dashboard at app.colossus.fit.
Yes, 1:1 video coaching is built fully in-house on WebRTC, with no third-party SDK fees and no per-minute charges. Pro coaches get discovery video calls with an anonymous prospect-join URL embedded directly in the booking confirmation email and iCal invite (prospects don't need an account). Colossal coaches additionally get live 1:1 client calls inside the web dashboard. Self-hosted TURN relay keeps the call audio + video on our infrastructure. Mobile call ringer (CallKit on iOS, lock-screen ringer on Android) is built into the Colossus mobile app.
Yes. Coaches publish session offerings (PT, consultation, technique review, group class) with their own availability, capacity, and cancellation policy. Clients self-book a slot from the web or the mobile app. Per-session Paystack payment works on every tier. Pro coaches get up to 5 active offerings plus group classes with an automatic waitlist that promotes the next person on a cancel. Colossal coaches get unlimited offerings, package-quota integration (so a coach can include sessions in a coaching package and bookings consume the quota first, falling back to one-off purchase), recurring sessions, and coach-side book-on-behalf-of-client. Every booking lands on a per-client iCal feed, so it shows up in the athlete's own Apple, Google, or Outlook calendar.
Eight, end-to-end across the web dashboard, the mobile app, and every transactional email. en-ZA (canonical South African English), Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German. The three South African languages are not currently shipped by any other coaching platform in the market. The locale picker lives on every auth page and inside settings, and the same UserProfile language drives all three surfaces, so a coach who picks Afrikaans gets Afrikaans on web, Afrikaans push notifications, and Afrikaans booking-confirmation emails.
Yes, in the dashboard. The coach data import wizard accepts a CSV, JSON, or archive from Trainerize, MyPTHub, TrueCoach, or any platform we have a preset for. Mapping is deterministic (hand-coded presets plus heuristics plus a manual override step), not AI guesswork, so the result is auditable and repeatable. A full job revert is one click for the first 24 hours, in case a mapping looked off. The raw upload payload is purged after 90 days. Adding a new source platform is a JSON preset file we'll add for you on request.
Yes. Coaches can create and offer training programs with custom pricing in 6 currencies (ZAR, USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD), difficulty levels, and duration. Athletes preview the curriculum, enroll, and leave 1-5 star reviews. Programs purchased through Paystack and offline payments you've handled directly both post to the same client ledger.
Browse the Colossus marketplace at app.colossus.fit/marketplace, a single filterable listing of every coach's training programs and content bundles. Switch between programs and bundles, filter by coach, category, difficulty, and price, then preview the curriculum before you commit. Checkout is on the web and runs through Paystack with full card payment. If a coach has sent you a personal offer or a marketplace link by email, that link takes you straight to the item with no login needed. You do not need a coaching relationship to buy, anyone can purchase from the marketplace.
All buying happens on the web; using your content happens in the Colossus app. Once your payment clears, the program or content bundle is added to your account and appears automatically in the iOS / Android app the next time you open it and log in (the same email you bought with). Programs drop your workouts onto your calendar ready to start; content bundles unlock lifetime access to their videos, PDFs, and notes inside the app. There is nothing to redeem or unlock manually, your owned content is simply there.
Colossus features real-time 1:1 and group messaging with voice notes, image and file sharing, emoji reactions, message editing, read receipts, and typing indicators. Coaches communicate from the web dashboard; athletes message back through the free Colossus app. Group messaging is available on the Colossal plan.
Athletes can track workouts (exercises, sets, reps, weights with auto-progression), nutrition (calories, macros, fibre, 10 micronutrients, weekly compliance scores), water intake, daily habits with streak tracking, supplement intake, body weight, and progress photos with side-by-side and overlay comparison. Coaches get a comprehensive analytics dashboard with client compliance, revenue insights, and a 7-type personal records ledger. Achievement badges are awarded automatically as milestones are hit.
Yes. The mobile app syncs with Apple HealthKit on iOS and Health Connect on Android to automatically pull in steps, sleep, and water data. Coaches can also export their calendar as an iCal feed to sync with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook.
Head to app.colossus.fit and sign up. Pick a plan, complete checkout, and you're in, every plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if it's not a fit you cancel from the dashboard within 30 days for a full refund. Coaches can start adding clients, building programs, and scheduling sessions right away. Athletes join via the free Colossus app on the Apple App Store or Google Play.
