An Everfit alternative with the business side included
Colossus pairs deep training and nutrition tools with rand billing, a sales CRM, communities, and automations, from R499 a month.
Coaches searching for an Everfit alternative usually like what modern coaching software does for delivery, and want more from everything around it: billing that fits their market, sales tools that are not a separate subscription, and pricing that does not move with an exchange rate.
Colossus covers the delivery layer and the business layer in one platform, priced in South African rand, with a free app for athletes and a 30-day money-back guarantee on every tier.
Automations that run your admin
Workflow automations trigger on the moments that matter, a new client, a missed check-in, a completed program, and respond with messages, emails, tasks, or roadmap steps. Broadcasts send one announcement to every client across chat, push, and email without copy-pasting.
Phased client roadmaps chain onboarding and progression into milestones, so a new client's first two weeks run themselves while you focus on coaching.
Training and nutrition depth
Programs run on cycle-based plans from 5 to 9 days, not locked to a calendar week. Every set carries its own RPE, RIR, tempo, and intensity, with dropsets, rest-pause, clusters, AMRAP, and EMOM as first-class techniques. Linear, DUP, block, and 5-3-1 periodization templates apply per-cycle modifiers automatically, and e1RM tracking plus a seven-type PR ledger keep progress measurable.
Nutrition targets are set per phase and logged against a 2.5-million-item food database with barcode scanning, so adherence shows up in the same place as training output.
The parts that usually live in other tabs
From the Pro tier, lead-gen forms feed a prospect CRM, a public storefront sells your packages, and discovery-call booking captures prospects without a scheduling link. Content bundles let you sell programs and guides as one-off digital products with lifetime buyer access.
Promo codes and coach-defined referral programs are built into checkout, and a native Zapier integration connects the rest of your tools when you need it.
Priced in rand, settled in rand
Four tiers from R499 to R1,999 per month, 20% off annually. Client payments run through Paystack with cards and EFT, and the platform fee is 2-6% by tier with processing passed through at cost. The athlete app is free, so adding clients never adds per-client software cost for them.
