“ Brilliant product…  ”

We have solved many issues with Coacha from booking people onto classes to sharing important documents and policies. It actually saves us time and effort!! And all information is stored in one place!

We have found Coacha very useful for all of our attendees, the sign up process has been great and having the ability to give the attendees all access to policies such as safeguarding at the point of signing up is really important to us.

The Coacha story

It’s 2014 and one of our co-founders, Chris and his wife Sarah are both trying to find the perfect piece of software and Apps for their own sports clubs. Chris for martial arts, and Sarah for Gymnastics and Cheer.

It wasn’t long before they were faced with the frustrations that our users still arrive to us with today. Complicated systems, poor design and usability, hidden fees and software that barely did some, let alone all of what they needed it to do.

It was at this point that Chris had the light bulb moment of developing a new piece of software that would deliver where others were failing. After much research, testing competitors and many late nights, the concept for Coacha was born.

Chris then took this idea over to the team at MA Design, a company he was a director of alongside his business partner a long term friend, Jason.

Well over 20 years technical, design and customer service experience

Coacha's sister company, MA Design, is a well-established Digital Agency with teams of experts who have been involved with all things web, software and digital for well over two decades. 

Working on projects similar to Coacha day in day out for clients meant that once signed off by the team, the process of taking Coacha from concept to completion was second nature for everyone involved. Being under the umbrella of an established agency meant that Coacha has been completely under the teams control since day one as there were no customers, investors or shareholders to answer to.

It's this combined with the hands on sports coaching experiences of Coacha's founders that has enabled the platform to thrive in a competitive commercial environment. 

Global growth, a growing team, and a glowing reputation

Utilising current staff and bringing onboard more people and technical specialists since, has seen the team grow considerably. The agency work was quickly phased out as Coacha began to grow rapidly and plans were developed to increased market share, reach a global audience and further build on its increasingly glowing reputation.

Product lead subscriber acquisition has been at the heart of Coacha’s success, and whilst Coacha has a carefully planned development framework, the team are always open to suggestions for new features and updates.

Active user feedback is at the heart of the software's development roadmap and the team always listens to, and consider, every request. 

This means that 70-80% of features and updates are influenced by Coacha subscribers and their real world needs.

That said, some suggestions can be pretty niche (and sometimes downright wacky) so not all requests make the final cut!

The Coacha Story

It’s 1999. Two like-minded guys meet at work. Both have individual hopes of leaving corporate life and being their own bosses. A friendship is formed, a cleverly constructed plan hatched for a new Marketing & Software Agency (MA Design).

In 2001, after years working in the marketing and design industries, the demand from their personal clients meant the dream was beginning: both leaving their day jobs to focus on all things digital and design.

Jump to 14 years later. It’s 2015 and the years previous to this involved Chris and his (now) wife Sarah both trying to find the perfect piece of sports club management software for their own clubs. It wasn’t long before they were faced with the frustrations that our users still arrive to us with; complicated systems, tiered pricing structures, hidden fees and software that did some, but not all of what they needed it to do. It was at this point that Chris had the light bulb moment to make their own piece of software, and soon convinced Jason that it was an amazing idea.

Making products like this every day for clients, and self-funding the project, the process was less scary and more exciting – and still is. Coacha has continually evolved and grown since launch, and continues to do so. With new payment plans, and constant feature additions loyal subscribers are continuously growing and the whole Coacha team are doing everything they can to help clubs discover a better way to run their club administration.

We realise we tell you that we understand your frustrations and that we care a lot, and it’s because we genuinely do. We’re in your shoes daily, with the whole team coaching/involved in sport, and we only want what’s best for our clubs. We’re here to bring a change to club management software, to protect you from hidden fees, false promises and complicated, tiered systems. 

We’re Coacha & we’re here to make a difference.

Self-funded from the start

Coacha has been self-funded since day one. This means there are no investors to satisfy and no hoops to jump through. So, when we want to improve Coacha, we simply do it. We are a dedicated team that understand what you need and why. It’s our promise to you, and to ourselves, that we carry on this way.

Comparing Coacha with other software and apps?

A few things to remember…

Firstly, we don't charge by the member, as that gets costly for you. Also, we never show adverts to your members. And we don't charge for updates and new features, nor the use of our iOS & Android Apps. Above all though, we don't draw you in with claims of 'FREE to use' then pile on extra charges later for unlocking functionality that should be included in the first place.
Few providers can make all of these claims. But we can.

Coacha has saved us so much time and improved our interaction with new and current customers. Since we started using Coacha the system has been upgraded so many times with fantastic new features. The customer service is fantastic, and we wouldn't be without the system!

Clare Company Director in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Coacha is a must for our gym. Very pleased. Recommend Coacha to all gym owners. Easy to use and navigate. Manages all our CRM needs. Great team ready and willing to support.

Jon Owner Head Coach in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Fantastic software for all your administrative needs. The fact that all admin tasks are on one platform - previously we had accounting software, invoicing applications, google documents for storing athlete information and registers. Coacha allows you to fulfil all of your usual administrative tasks in one place and allows athletes/parents to view the information as easily as staff.

Alex Program Director in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

I wouldn’t use anything else you can use every feature on it & it’s so easy to work. If it wasn’t for this App, I would be doing hours & hours of admin. So, I’m thankful to have found this app!

Hannah Dance teacher in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Jillian Business Manager in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

We switched over from another system - EVERYTHING is easier! So functional. The staff like it as do the parents. The admin are very quick to respond too.

Hannah Owner & Head Coach in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Fantastic customer service and is a fab asset to our club. Easy to use, saves me time and stress! It also feels safe storing medical and co tact details.

Laura Lead director in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Fantastic Software for Dance Schools! Monthly subscriptions have been a game changer for our business, far less admin time required compared to previous system and the reports have been really useful. Looking forward to working with the system further to develop our dance school!

Arlene Studio Owner & Administrator in UK Health, Wellness & Fitness - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Excellent, affordable, clean. Coacha is very user-friendly, clean and professional with good customisation options. I don't think there's much that can be improved.

Ashton Director in UK Performing Arts - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Great support and easy to use system. Very happy so far. Has made administration so much easier than with our previous system (and something that I look forward to rather than dread!). The overall feel of the system is very 'clean', easy to sign onto, navigate and use
