Starting your coaching business doesn’t have to feel like launching a startup.
You don’t need a logo.
You don’t need a brand kit.
You don’t need five tools duct-taped together.
What you need is a simple system that works—and helps you focus on what matters most: training clients and getting them results.
Whether you’re a personal trainer going online for the first time, or a hybrid coach looking to streamline your workflow, this guide will help you go from zero to live in under an hour.
Step 1: Pick One Platform and Stick to It
Most new coaches make the mistake of piecing together too many tools:
It works… until it doesn’t.
Superset lets you bring it all under one roof: program, manage clients, accept payments, and track progress—all in one place. You only need one tool.
Start your 14-day free trial.
Step 2: Build Your First Program in Superset Sheets
Open Superset Sheets. Start typing like you would in Google Sheets.
Add a couple days of workouts. Include sets, reps, tempo, and notes. It’s intuitive, fast, and made for coaches who know their way around a spreadsheet.
Don’t worry about making it perfect—just get the first draft in. You can always tweak it later.
Tip: Use Superset’s built-in blocks to drop in warm-ups, supersets, or circuits in seconds.
Step 3: Add Your First Client
Invite one client. That’s it.
You don’t need 10 to start. Add one person you’ve helped before—maybe a friend, past client, or someone who’s been asking about your training.
Send them the program you built in Step 2. Their app will update automatically and look polished right out of the box.
Step 4: Get Paid Without Using a Second App
Superset connects directly to Stripe. That means you can accept payments via card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
Create a one-time or recurring offer. Set the price. Send the link.
You’re officially in business.
Bonus: Superset doesn’t take a cut of your earnings. You can set coach fees to 0% (read more).
Step 5: Track Progress with Built-In Check-Ins
Want to keep clients accountable? Use Superset’s check-in forms to ask how training went, if they hit their goals, and how they’re feeling overall.
No more chasing clients or guessing where they’re at.
Just set your check-in cadence and let Superset automate the rest.
Final Thoughts: Start Messy. Stay Consistent.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to start.
If you can take one messy action today, it should be this: Sign up for Superset and get your first client set up.
You’ll build confidence, momentum, and a repeatable system you can grow.
Because the best coaching businesses aren’t the most complicated ones.
They’re the ones that just work.
