The coaching software market is one product dressed up nine ways. The same six platforms, QuickCoach included, get shortlisted for online personal training, strength and conditioning, nutrition, physique prep, endurance, functional fitness, Pilates, rehab and mobility, and active ageing. What changes between niches is which features are core, which are add-ons, and where the price bites as a roster grows. These guides take each niche on its own terms rather than treating "coaching software" as one flat category.
Four layers sit below. The niche pillars are the commercial core: what the software should do for each kind of coach and what it costs. The cost-by-roster pages price the same six platforms at the roster sizes each niche actually carries. The question hubs answer the long conversational queries coaches type or speak, written for AI Overviews as much as for people. The coaching methods reference is the vocabulary layer underneath all of it, from block periodisation to scope of practice.
By niche
The nine niches a coach actually works in. Each cluster links the software pillar, the cost-by-roster breakdown, and the coaching-questions hub for that niche, so you can land on the angle you came for without hopping between sections.
Online personal training
What the software should do for online PTs, priced at a 30-client roster across six platforms.
Strength & conditioning
Programming in blocks, percentages and RPE, load management, and roster scaling for team or private-athlete contexts.
Nutrition coaching
Nutrition as core Pro rather than a competitor add-on, with food search, photo scanning, calories and macros in the flat price.
Physique prep
Check-ins with progress photos, peak-week and reverse-diet support, and the scope line where peaking meets medical risk.
Endurance & hybrid
Strength alongside run programming, with the run-tool-alongside framing that decides whether an all-in-one is worth the premium.
Functional fitness
Metcons, EMOMs and interval work for remote members, priced at a 40-client roster with core versus add-on made explicit.
Active ageing
Strength, balance and habit check-ins for older adults, with printed plans as a Pro differentiator and the scope-of-practice line.
Pilates
Pricing and questions for Pilates instructors, where printed flow and apparatus cues drive the software choice more than programming depth.
Rehab & mobility (physio)
Pricing only for rehab and mobility coaches and physiotherapists, where scope of practice and progressive loading decide the stack.
Cost by roster
Sticker prices mislead because most platforms scale by client count and bill the features a coach wants as add-ons. These pages price the six platforms at the roster breakpoints each niche actually carries, with the add-on stacks made explicit and monthly versus annual kept separate.

Coaching methods reference
The vocabulary layer underneath the niches. Nineteen entries across programming methods, programming variables, check-ins and measurement, equipment, credentials, and nutrition and physique prep. Each one is a first-party definition grounded in QuickCoach platform data or a firsthand build, not scraped from a textbook.
Browse the full reference at the coaching methods hub, or go straight to the cornerstones: block periodisation, RPE, rep ranges, load management, habit stacking, and scope of practice.
