I share my thoughts and review Precision Nutrition’s ProCoach nutrition training software and upcoming nutrition coaching plans. Warning: I received free access to ProCoach for 90 days, but all thoughts are mine.
Hello friends! Happy Wednesday! What are you doing today? I’m teaching a class this morning and I’m looking forward to meeting a friend over coffee. I hope you have a wonderful day.
I intended to post an update with Precision Nutrition now that my certification is complete, in addition to sharing an overview of their coaching platform: ProCoach. I absolutely liked the Precision Nutrition program – see my Precision Nutrition Level One review here! – and was so excited when they offered the opportunity to try ProCoach for 90 days. (The standard trial period is 30 days.) It gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in nutrition coaching and check everything the platform has before committing to a longer plan.
What is ProCoach?
ProCoach is Precision Nutrition’s online nutrition training software. It allows you to track your clients and their habits / goals, check and track the progress of their coaching journey. You can also add workouts and workout plans to their nutrition training. ProCoach’s comprehensive library of practices includes 14 skills, 40+ practices and resources made for you. You can use it to help clients thrive in different elements of lifestyle: nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress and skills to adapt to specific changes (such as thinking, perspectives, planning ahead, etc.). You do not need to be Precision Nutrition certified to use ProCoach for your wellness business.
How much does it cost?
ProCoach is $ 99 a month and you can try it for free for 30 days to see how you like it. If you sign up for a free trial the moment this post goes live, you will also receive a free digital Coaching Business Kickstarter course ($ 347), which you can complete at your own pace. This includes modules on how to sell, structure and price your coaching packages.
The benefits of ProCoach for nutrition coaching:
Functionality of applications and websites for customers. I like that customers can use the dashboard or app to sign up, send messages, and track their progress.
Home page for potential customers. You can check out my customer homepage here. All this was customized through the app and super easy to assemble. If you are not a technician like yours really, they make it very easy to use.
Customer control panel and check tracking. This makes it easy to see how clients are doing, to check notes from previous sessions, to see what habits are working at the moment and to see their progress (through any indicator you prefer to use, whether it’s weight, photos or how they feel ). You can also see their daily checks, which look like this:
Ability to quickly and easily add new goals, habits and notes in the profile of each client. If I know that the client’s goal is to get more nutrients, it is very easy for me to focus on the daily habits they can implement and add them to the platform (for example, to have an extra serving of vegetables for lunch every day. ). We talk about all these goals and changes during the inspections, we put them in the system and they can quickly note how each day goes. All the basic habits are in the app, so I can choose what is applicable for this client and together we come up with realistic steps for action how to get there.
THIS is so profound. When I first started playing with ProCoach, I was so excited to see everything it has to offer, including resources and learning materials to share with customers and the messaging platform. I can easily connect with customers to cheer them up, send articles or tutorials that are relevant to customer goals, and I think the feel and use of the platform is professional and easy to use.
Disadvantages:
Fitness portion. You have the ability to add fitness programming to your clients and they have an excellent variety. You can also narrow your injury programs (such as acute upper limb injury or chronic lower body injury). Although these plans are very well made and designed to meet different fitness goals (building muscle, losing fat, etc.), I can’t help but wish I could customize them a little more. I like to make my own fitness plans. 🙂
This is another platform to use. This is the first thing that makes me keep this program in the long run. I have to go to so many different sites every day (and I’m in the process of adding a membership site to Fit Team), so I can’t help but want everything to be combined in fewer places on the Internet. At the same time, I think it does an amazing job of tracking customer progress and previous checks, so I’m more inclined to keep my membership.
So what’s next in the world of nutrition?
For now, my plan is to continue to offer limited motion consultations and macros, in addition to Fit Team’s fitness programs. I love our amazing Fit Team members and I am happy to surprise them with additional resources and extras, so I know that my nutrition certificate will be useful for Fit Team.
I work with a very small group of 1: 1 dining clients who have been my ProCoach software testers and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. If you are interested in 1: 1 nutrition coaching, I will take 3 new clients in October. Please email me gina@fitnessista.com if you are interested in more details.
In the new year, I am considering some group challenges aimed at healthy eating habits and basics. If you have something you want to see, especially topics here on the blog, please let me know!
So, tell me friends: if you could get a certificate for something right now, what would you choose?
