A coaching product you can make your own

React Coach Starter gives strength coaches and their clients a complete starting point. Coaches invite clients, build and assign programs, review training, and keep conversations close to the work. Clients follow their plan, log sessions, track progress, and message their coach.

The interface is responsive, with light and dark modes. Change the name, logo, language defaults, theme and support details in one brand configuration file.

See it working before you connect anything

Start in demo mode with fictional data. You can explore both coach and client workspaces without an account, database, or API key. When you are ready, switch to live mode: Workout API powers the exercise catalog and program generation, while PostgreSQL stores users, assignments, training history and messages.
