Find a coach Pilot

Train with
a coach.

Tell us what you're training for. We'll introduce you to a personal trainer we've reviewed, who writes your plan and sees the sessions you share in Kobu, online or at your gym.

How it works

Three steps to your coach.

During the pilot a person reads every request and makes each introduction by hand.

1

Tell us your goal

What you're training for, online or in person, and where. It takes a minute and needs no account.

2

Meet your coach

We email you an introduction to a coach we've reviewed. Talk it through, and agree a price with them directly.

3

Train in Kobu

Your coach sends you a link. You choose what they see before you accept, and you can stop sharing at any time.

With a coach

Your plan, written for you.

Everything you use in Kobu today, with a coach on the other side of it.

  • A plan that updates itself. Your coach writes your week, and your phone picks up every change before you train.
  • Someone who sees the work. The sets, weights and body weight you choose to share reach your coach as you finish.
  • A check-in every week. Sleep, energy and how it felt, answered in the app, plus messages when you need them.
  • Food targets that fit. Your coach can set calories and macros. Share your daily totals if you want to, never the foods.
  • Sessions at the gym. Book your coach's open hours in the app, with a reminder an hour before.

Before you ask.

Anything else? Write to us and a person reads it.

How much does a coach cost?

Each coach sets their own price, and you pay them directly. Kobu itself is free, and doesn't take payments yet.

Who are the coaches?

Personal trainers who coach online, in person or both. We review every coach before they can invite anyone.

What does my coach see?

Only what you choose before you accept: your sessions, your body weight, your daily food totals. Never your progress photos. You can stop sharing or end the coaching at any time.

Do I need an iPhone?

Yes. Kobu is on iPhone and Apple Watch today. Your coach can work from an iPhone or the web.

I already have a coach. Can we use Kobu?

Yes. Send them to Coaching on Kobu. Once they're reviewed, they can invite you with a link.
