The first Coaching Platform that's Better than your Spreadsheet.
Great coach, serious business — but you still run operations in spreadsheets because nothing truly fit end-to-end.
No hidden fees, no obligations
Eindelijk kan ik klanten coachen zoals ik zelf wil, zonder beperkingen opgelegd door gebrekkige software. Wekelijks programmeren bespaart me veel tijd door het handige design.
— Ben Serneels
Sounds familiar?
You’re not using a Spreadsheet because you love Excel
But purely because no coaching software covers your process end-to-end yet: The software didn't work the way you wanted it to.
The reason I developed Gainz Coach is because I had exactly the same struggles:
- I paid for 2–3 tools and still needed Google Sheets to run the week.
- Copy/pasting blocks in training templates without exercise and muscle group progressions.
- Chasing check-ins and no overview per client.
- Updating numbers manually and chasing invoices.
Comparison
Gainz Coach vs spreadsheet vs other software
Why Gainz Coach outperforms a spreadsheet and typical coaching tools for how you actually run the business.
| Spreadsheet | Gainz Coach | Other software | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Training & weekly programming | Flexible, but heavy manual work and limited insight. | Excel on steroids — spreadsheet-level flexibility with real insight and scalability. | Limited flexibility. |
| Exercises & WODs | Manual lists and pasted links, no consistent structure, constant context switching. | Extensive exercise library with video and coaching cues, create your own custom exercises, and flexible WOD-creator for endurance training and hybrid sessions. | Simple exercise database — no custom WODs and hybrid sessions. |
| Performance & progression | Track and update PRs manually. | 1RM charts, automatic PR overview, progression per exercise and muscle group, deep volume and performance insight. | Basic weight-and-reps progression only. |
| Nutrition & hydration | Scattered apps, no structure, no live visibility. | Live food-diary view, rich nutrition goals by day type (training vs rest), combined with training and recovery data. | Food logging without a real diary view, limited nutrition goals, no hydration tracking. |
| Meal plans | Meal plans take forever and stay manual. | Full meal-plan building with your own products, recipes, and meals. Flexible planner with live macro totals against your nutrition goals. | Food log only — no proper meal plans. |
| Check-ins & client tracking | Chasing check-ins, no full picture per client. | Dashboard with live per-client views and deep insight into nutrition, training, recovery, habits, and tasks. The client app follows your method. | Basic check-in and client-tracking views only. |
| Admin & billing | Chasing invoices and payments instead of coaching clients. | Automatic billing tied to coaching periods, plus clear views of clients, subscriptions, and invoices. | Automatic billing, but not tied to coaching periods. |

What coaches say
“Ik gebruikte hiervoor Virtuagym. Gainz Coach geeft overzicht en het is gemakkelijk in gebruik. Het biedt eigenlijk alles wat je nodig hebt. Het combineert training, voeding en gedragscoaching in één platform, wat het erg geschikt maakt voor coaches die hun klanten op afstand begeleiden en overzicht willen houden over het volledige traject.”

From the founder
Why Gainz?
I've been coaching for 16+ years now, and for almost all of that time I've worked with spreadsheets in my coaching.
Not because I wanted to — but because there simply wasn't software that truly matched the quality I wanted to deliver in my coaching.
Over the years I've tested almost everything on the market. With real clients. In real coaching journeys.
And every time I hit the same wall: most software is built by developers. Not by coaches.
Of course there are tools that do some things well, but I need software that does EVERYTHING well — not just nutrition, not just training, not just admin and payments.
Especially when it comes to training, data, and real progress… the bar is high.
Training, recovery, nutrition, progress, and all that data belong in one system together.
You couldn't find that anywhere — until now. That's why Gainz Coach is a real game-changer.
Gainz Coach is the all-in-one tool for personal trainers, online coaches, and small gyms.
I'll happily say out loud that it's already better than the big international players on the market.
I can say that with confidence because I built Gainz Coach from the ground up, intending to use it for my own coaching.
A very high bar for the features: it has to be fast and easy to use, AND I don't want to think about payments and admin at all.
Just deliver great coaching with great software.
And honestly? This is only the beginning.
