Built for coaching and training
Free to train on, whether you have a coach or not. If you coach, the whole business runs here too, from programming through to billing and your next client.
30 days. No card. Keep everything you build.
Switching tools? Do it yourself or let us move you.
Bring clients, programs and history across yourself in an afternoon. Or take the guided Migration Sprint, which adds packages, storefront and payments across seven days at no extra cost.
The four apps this replaces
The program in a PDF, sessions in a workout app, nutrition in MyFitnessPal, payments somewhere else again. That is how most coaching relationships actually run, and collapsing it into one product is the whole reason this exists.
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. Smart Builder drafts a full program in seconds, and gives you the same one every time.
Nutrition tracking
Barcode-scan against 2.5 million foods. Macros shift with the training day, ten micronutrients are tracked alongside them, and the week closes with a 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.
The same product from both sides of the screen
Most coaching software is a dashboard for the coach and a thin app for the client. Here both sides are the same product, so what a coach builds is what a client opens.
Set up your business
Sign up, pick a tier, connect Paystack, build your storefront at /c/your-handle. Existing clients come across through the import wizard or the guided Sprint, whichever suits.

Made in Stellenbosch
Coaching software is mostly built for the American market and priced for it. This one is built here and priced in rand.
- 8
- Each person picks their own, and the whole platform follows it: the dashboard, the app, push notifications and every email. isiZulu, isiXhosa and Afrikaans are three of the eight.
- R
- Your clients pay with South African cards or EFT through Paystack, and your revenue settles in rand. No currency conversion sitting between you and the money.
- POPIA
- Built to South Africa's own act rather than retrofitted to it. Sensitive data is opt-in with its own consent, and deleting an account is something you can do yourself.

Nothing is sold as an add-on
Every feature belongs to a tier and stays there, so there is nothing to discover on a later invoice. Start with the 30-day free trial and no card, or pay up front and keep the 30-day money-back guarantee. One or the other, not both.

The platform fee is our only commission. Card payment processing (Paystack, 3.5% + R1 per client charge) is passed through at cost and shown as a separate line on every payout, the same fee you would pay accepting cards on any platform. You keep everything else.
Questions from coaches and clients
Colossus is coaching software built in South Africa, connecting coaches with the people they train. Coaches can create workout programs, nutrition and supplement plans, schedule sessions, track client progress, and communicate via real-time messaging with voice notes. Clients get a structured path to their fitness goals with professional coaching support, achievement badges, and a 2.5M+ food database.
The app is free to train on, always. Coaches pay a monthly subscription: Basic R499, Pro R999, Colossal R1,499, or Studio R1,999. Annual billing takes 20% off, which is the R399 / R799 / R1,199 / R1,599 shown on the pricing cards above. On top of the subscription, client payments taken through the platform carry a fee of 6% on Basic, 4% on Pro and 2% on Colossal and Studio, plus Paystack card processing at cost, shown as its own line on every payout. Every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee: cancel from the dashboard inside 30 days and we refund in full.
Yes. One Colossus app serves both training and coaching, 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 to train on. 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 client'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, heuristics, and a manual override step, 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. If you would rather not do it yourself, the guided Migration Sprint covers the same import plus packages, storefront and payments, one step per day across seven days at no extra cost.
Yes. Coaches can create and offer training programs with custom pricing in 6 currencies (ZAR, USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD), difficulty levels, and duration. Clients 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.
Programs and content bundles are bought on the web; using them 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; clients message back through the free Colossus app. Group messaging is available on the Colossal plan.
You 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, you can also start with the 30-day free trial and no card. The two do not stack, deliberately: a trial gives you the 30 days up front, and paying without one keeps the 30-day money-back guarantee, so you cancel from the dashboard within 30 days for a full refund. Coaches can start adding clients, building programs, and scheduling sessions right away. Clients join via the free Colossus app on the Apple App Store or Google Play.
