Courses, or coaching delivery?
Fitness coaches face a fork Teachable does not fully answer: do you mainly sell knowledge as courses, or deliver ongoing training — programming, check-ins, a branded client app? Fitness-specific platforms handle the coaching-delivery side far better than a general course tool, while course platforms win if your product is really a video course.
Frequently asked questions
