Managing My Coachability Account

How do I contact customer support?

The best way to contact Coachability is by sending an email to info@coachabilitygroup.com or a text/whatsapp to 07904956437. 

How do I set my availability?

It's important to keep your availability up to date so that your potential clients know when you will be able to train with them. You can set your availability from the "Availability" tab in your Dashboard. 

Why provide Specific Availability?  Clients are more likely to book sessions when they know your schedule is compatible with theirs. Coaches who provide specific availability appear higher in our search rankings.

What if I don't know my availability for a certain day? No worries! It's ok if you don't know your available hours for every day; just skip the days you aren't sure about and update as much as you can. 

How do I set my training locations?

Coachability will use your Training Locations or Travel Distance (if you’re flexible on where you train) to power our search results: If you have specific training location at which you typically train: You can add that location and we’ll display the locations on your profile (alongside a nice map). We’ll send you clients who can travel to your location to train. To add locations, visit the “Profile” tab of your dashboard and scroll down to the “Training Locations” section. Choose your training location from the auto-suggestion list that appears when you begin typing. 

Changing my price and adding different packages?

To set your pricing and session length, go to the "Pricing" tab in your Coachability account. From here you will be able to view all your current packages. To create a new type of package, simply tick the box of any package you wish to offer. Set the length of time (60, 90 or 120 minutes) Add the following details to complete your package: Name the package (ex: Trial Package, Elite Package, Group Package, Online Training, etc.) Enter a description (include information about what the package will entail, how many athletes can join the package, etc.) Set your package length (minutes, hours, days, weeks)  Set the number of sessions in your package Set the max number of athletes who can register for the package Set the rate of the package (keep in mind, if the client is booking a package with you for the first time, a $19.99 Placement fee will also be charged to your client) Select whether the package is for in-person training or virtual training If you offer virtual training, you will appear in search results across the country to athletes searching for virtual coaching

Scheduling & completing the session

What is Coachability's policy for client cancelations? 

Coachability protects you with a 24-hour cancellation policy in case a client does not show up for a scheduled session. You have the option to mark the session complete so that you will still be paid for the time you've set aside. This policy is to be implemented at your discretion; we encourage you to use your judgement depending on your client's circumstance. If a client is not present at the beginning of the session, call to check on his/her status. If a client is just running late, utilise the remaining time in the session to the best of your ability. If a client does not show up at all, we recommend you reach out to him/her to discuss the reason for missing the session and attempt to reschedule it. Be sure to schedule your sessions in advance through Coachability. That way, if your client is a no-show, we'll have a record of when the session was supposed to take place.

Can I cancel my Coachability account?

We'd hate to see you go, but you may cancel your Coachability account at any time by contacting us at info@coachabilitygroup.com. If you're just temporarily unavailable to provide coaching sessions to new clients and want to hide your profile from the search results, we'd recommend setting your availability as unavailable in your dashboard. When we cancel your account, you'll no longer appear to clients in the Coachability search results, and you will no longer have access to your account. If you ever wish to rejoin Coachability, you can contact us, and we'll be able to reactivate your account.

Business Management & Payment Processing 

Are there any fees to be a Coachability Coach?

There is no sign up fee, no joining fee, no membership fee and absolutely no monthly subscription. Coachability does however take a 20% commission from each booking. This percentage is taken from your listed rate on your profile. 

For example if your rate for a 1 to 1 training session (1 hour) is £30, your earnings will be £24. 

Coachability Partnership Agreement

Reply to client messages within 48 hrs

For the safety and integrity of our community, we do not allow:

Marking training sessions complete that have not taken place 

Unprofessional communication or behaviour

Falsification of personal information 

Providing a client experience that falls short of Coachability standards 

Any coach who fails to comply with the above requirements will be subject to their Coachability account being placed on hold and unable to accept new clients. 

We enforce our Guidelines and Expectations to ensure that all Coachability clients receive a great experience and to maintain the integrity of our community.

My clients want to pay me in cash. What should I do?

Even though clients are made aware that they are required to book their training sessions with you through the Coachability platform, you might still occasionally be asked by a client how they should pay - or how you prefer to be paid. 

As part of our partnership agreement, you’ve agreed to book and schedule all training sessions with Coachability clients through Coachability. In situations like this, we find that simple communication works best; explaining how and why a client should book one of your training packages will usually be all you need to do.
