That is roughly how far apart the quotes were when our founder asked coaches what they charge. There was no way to tell which was the going rate. So we're finding out.
How it works
Tell us what you pay
Your coach, the price and what's included. It takes about a minute.

Alongside the prices coaches publish themselves. Nothing is shown until 30 coaches have a price.

How we keep it honest
- Real prices only
- From pages coaches publish and from athletes who pay them. We never pose as customers, and we don't scrape Instagram.
- Free for athletes, always
- Seeing what coaches charge will never cost you anything.
- No paying to rank higher
- A coach will never be able to buy a better position or hide a price.
- Coaches can correct or remove their details
- Anyone can ask, at any time, and a removal cannot be undone by our own software.
For coaches
Are you a coach?
We're building a neutral place for athletes to compare coaches on price, service and results. Enquiries will arrive already knowing what you charge, so fewer of them waste your time.
At this stage nothing naming you is published from what clients tell us. When profiles open you will be able to claim yours, correct it or have it removed.

Questions
Will my coach know I sent this in?
No. We don't ask who you are, and individual answers are never shown. At this stage we only publish totals and ranges across many coaches.
Why do you need my coach's name?
So that prices can be grouped per coach. Without it, one coach with fifty clients would count fifty times and skew the picture. Before a coach counts at all, a human checks that they are a real coach. Figures naming a coach are not published at this stage.
When will I see how my price compares?
As soon as we have prices for at least 30 different coaches for your kind of coaching, in your currency. To begin with, online coaching and contest prep are counted together. Leave your email after adding your price and we'll send your comparison then.
Who is behind this?
An amateur bodybuilder, UX/UI designer, and fan of the scene who feels there could be a better way to navigate the confusing process of finding a coach. The site is independent of every coach, team and federation.
Are you making money from me?
No. This is purely an experiment in gathering information. Your participation is fully voluntary. We believe that bringing transparency to the industry will be for the benefit of all.
Got a coach?
Add what you pay. It takes about a minute, and every participation makes the picture clearer for everyone.
