Experts in our field are known for building courses and certification programs to monetize their years of coaching experience. You can look to any well-known coach (e.g., Pat Rigbsy, Dr. Berardi), and it’s almost guaranteed they offer learning services of some kind.
Back then, most programs were sold in person via textbooks and weekend seminars. Nowadays, almost everything is digital; you can learn the newest training or nutrition tool from the comfort of your own home.
And it’s a great thing because it allows newer coaches and trainers to create and monetize their courses and programs.
So, if you’re thinking about designing your own weight loss program or training course, read on. There are many course-building options on the market, but Coach Catalyst is the perfect solution for anyone offering health and wellness solutions (e.g., nutrition, lifestyle, training).
Hot Off The Press: “Not Just Another Workout App”
Simple Yet Customizable Where It Counts
When I worked in the supplement industry, our company switched customer relationship management (CRM) software one day without telling us. We went from using Zendesk to Salesforce. Zendesk was a simple platform with a few essential functions, while Salesforce was endlessly customizable and cumbersome to navigate. It was like jumping from Microsoft Paint to Photoshop. Sure, Photoshop can do practically anything, but what happens when you don’t need 90% of its functions?
The truth is, having more options at your disposal isn’t always better; it’s about having meaningful choices.
The truth is, having more options at your disposal isn’t always better; it’s about having meaningful choices. So, while we know there are elaborate course builders on the market, that doesn’t mean they’re better. In fact, when it comes to course builders, you really only need a few functions:
Content formats (e.g., writing, audio, deliverables like PDFs, video)
Tracking features (e.g., did the student complete the assignment?)
Customization (e.g., fonts, colors, logos, designs)
Integrations (e.g., Zapier)
And Coach Catalyst has all of that ready to go. The course builder is one of the easiest to navigate, and it doesn’t have any fluff that detracts from your course-building experience.
Building Made Easy
You have four main options for your courses, and you can plug and play them at any given point.
- Lessons
- Workouts/Activities
- Actions
- Messages
Lessons. This is where your content is stored. So, for example, if you have a 21-day nutrition course, you can have 21 days' worth of lessons that your students will run through sequentially. You can edit your content in any way; feel free to change the fonts and colors or add pictures, audio, videos, etc. The possibilities are there if you need them.
Workouts/Activities. This is where you plug in custom-built workouts or programs you may want your client to follow. If you’re a nutrition or lifestyle coach, you can just leave this option blank.
Actions. These are the daily prompts that you want your students or clients to complete. For example, if you want them to check whether they meditated for five minutes or read their lesson, you can plug in daily actions.
Messages. Want to automate some of your check-ins or messaging? This is the place to do it.
The nice thing is you have the option to make your courses as long as you want; there is no limit. If you have a year-long mentorship program that you want to create using Coach Catalyst, you can.
Want to know how your students or clients are doing? Simple. You can easily track the metrics of your course or program from your main dashboard.
I can’t stress this enough: Coach Catalyst cuts out the fluff and gives you everything you need to build the course or program of your dreams. And the best part? You don’t need multiple software solutions to get all of your jobs done. If you’re a coach, you can tackle your coaching needs from your Coach Catalyst dashboard. It doesn’t matter if you have stand-alone clients, group programs, or courses running; you can do it all with Coach Catalyst.

A Marketplace Worth Its Weight In Gold (Soon)
If you Google course builders, you’ll find many platforms have their own marketplace. As a result, students can shop around for different courses, allowing them to expand and explore their learning desires.
Coach Catalyst has something similar, but for business owners. On the back end, coaches can shop around for premade courses that the Coach Catalyst team has made. So, if you want to run a course or program but don’t want to put all the legwork in, Coach Catalyst has taken care of that for you already. The marketplace has dozens of courses on training, nutrition, and lifestyle change that you can download and modify to your liking (e.g., fonts, colors, logos, etc.) You can see some of those courses here.
The exciting news is that we’re expanding this in 2023. Soon, you’ll be able to buy other people’s programs on the marketplace. Or, you will have the option to sell your own to other coaches. It’s another way we’re helping you grow or monetize your business, and we’re pumped to get it off the ground.
