Coach through VitalCoach

Get clients who already train.

Spotter is a free app where people build adaptive programs and log every session. When they want a real coach, we hand them to you — through VitalCoach — with a logged history, a goal, and momentum already in place. You set your rate. We don't take a cut of your hourly.

Client matching from Spotter to VitalCoach is rolling out in Q3 2026 — early coaches get the first matches.

The gap we're closing

What client onboarding usually looks like.

If you've coached online, you know the drill. The first three weeks of a new client are mostly archaeology — figuring out what they've been doing, what hurts, what they actually want. Spotter hands you all of that on day zero.

· Without Spotter

Week 1: Intake form. PAR-Q. Goal interview. Try to reconstruct training history from memory.

Week 2: Discover the program they were running was different from what they described. Re-do.

Week 3: Catch the SI-joint flare-up that "wasn't a big deal." Rewrite block.

Week 4: Actually start coaching.

With Spotter

Day 0: Client clicks "share with coach." You get 12+ weeks of logged sets, RPE, bar speed trend, deloads, body weight history.

Day 1: Intake call is a strategy call. You already know their volume tolerance and squat technique pattern.

Day 7: First adjusted block hits their phone via your dashboard.

Day 14: Real progress, not paperwork.

The economics

You set the rate. You keep 95%.

You bill clients through VitalCoach's built-in billing — we're the merchant of record, you keep 95%, and you're paid out on the 1st of each month. You set your own price. Spotter doesn't add a markup on top.

What a $200/mo client looks like

Client pays$200.00
VitalCoach platform fee (5%)−$10.00
You keep$190.00

95% to the coach — same whether you charge $99 or $499. On VitalCoach Pro, that 5% is even credited against your subscription, so at scale the tooling effectively pays for itself.

How clients find you

Your rateYou set it

Spotter users request a coach when they want one. We match on goal + experience + style and hand them to you with their training history pre-loaded — warm, not cold. We don't charge you for the introduction.
