How do I get paid through GrindFuel? +
GrindFuel uses Stripe to process client payments directly to you — no middleman holding your money. You set your own rates. When a client pays, your full coaching fee is deposited via Stripe. A transparent platform fee is added on top of your price for the client, so you always know exactly what you earn. Coaches on Pro and Premium plans benefit from lower platform fees, and longer billing commitments (3, 6, 9, or 12 months) reduce them further.
What tools do I get as a coach on GrindFuel? +
Every GrindFuel coach gets: Stripe-powered direct payments, AI meal plan generator, AI workout plan generator, a public SEO-optimized coach profile page, a client portal where clients view plans and track progress, food price search for clients, social sharing tools, community and gamification features, and an analytics dashboard. AI tools are included at every tier — Basic, Pro, and Premium. Pro and Premium coaches additionally get discount code management, a branded store, social media tools, priority directory placement, and more.
How much does GrindFuel cost for trainers? +
GrindFuel Pro plans start at $29/month for the Basic tier (up to 5 active clients), $49/month for Pro (up to 25 clients, most popular), and $99/month for Premium (unlimited clients). Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. If you commit to multi-month billing, you save 10% (3 months), 18% (6 months), 25% (9 months), or 35% (12 months) on the total.

Can my clients find me on GrindFuel? +
Yes. Every coach gets a public profile page at grindfuel.polsia.app/coach/your-name. Your profile is SEO-optimized so it can rank on Google for searches like "personal trainer [your city]" or "online nutritionist [your specialty]". Pro and Premium coaches receive priority placement in the GrindFuel coach directory, making it even easier for new clients to discover you. Share your profile link on Instagram, TikTok, in your email signature, anywhere you promote yourself.
Do I need my own website to use GrindFuel? +
No. GrindFuel replaces your website. Your public coach profile page acts as your complete online presence — it includes your bio, specialties, services, client testimonials, and a direct booking and payment link. No Wix, no Squarespace, no monthly hosting fees, no page builder to learn. Most coaches on GrindFuel close their external websites within a month because the profile converts better and costs less. If you already have a website you love, you can still use GrindFuel for everything else and simply link to your profile.
What makes GrindFuel different from Trainerize? +
Several things: (1) AI tools are included at every GrindFuel tier — Trainerize charges extra for AI features. (2) Food price search — no other coaching platform offers this; it's a genuine differentiator for your clients and a conversation starter. (3) You keep 100% of your coaching rate — GrindFuel adds the platform fee on top for the client instead of taking a cut of your revenue. (4) Social sharing — clients can share branded progress posts to Instagram and TikTok directly from GrindFuel, turning them into your marketing team. Trainerize has no equivalent. (5) GrindFuel's pricing starts at $29/month vs. Trainerize's $35+/month, and GrindFuel includes more features at the base tier.
