Why run the pilot?

Member results

Training alone only goes so far. When members finally get their nutrition right, the results they want happen much easier.

6kg in 6 weeks

Lost by one of Scott’s members at F45 Stockbridge.

Add revenue

Challenges improve results on their own. One of our F45 studios went further and combined theirs with 1-to-1 support: Challenge Plus. You set the price and keep 100%.

+$10 per head

Added to Grant’s challenge revenue at F45 West Edinburgh.

Improve engagement

Leaderboards, habits and steps give the whole studio something to talk about every day, inside class and outside it.

The challenge

What your members actually do during the challenge.

Voice note, photo, or one tap to re-log. Your members log in under 60 seconds a day, which means they actually do it, every day.

Members can ask Cal anything. "What should I eat before training?" "I'm going out tonight, what's a good choice?" They get personalised, goal-aware answers instantly.

Progress charts for weight, body fat and measurements, with calories always in context as steps and workouts sync automatically from their watch.

Step challenges, protein goals, logging streaks. Members compete on a leaderboard and motivate each other to stay consistent for all 30 days.

20–30 Nov

“The nutrition side of our 45-day challenges has always been a bit of an issue for us. With CalCoach we could finally track it and hold members accountable to their nutrition goals, and it enhanced their overall results across the 45 days.”
