Kahunas 2.0: Instant Client App, AI Crew, Blood Labs & Pay-Per-Seat Coaching

Why we rebuilt Kahunas for 2.0

Online coaches run into three walls once they pass 15 or 20 clients:

1. App stores add steps between a client and their first workout. We published over 10,000 white-label coaching apps to the App Store and Google Play, and the same issues kept coming up: clients searching the wrong app name, forgetting their store password, or running months-old versions with automatic updates turned off. Packages sold inside a native app also pay Apple or Google up to 30%, and every update waits on store review.
2. Sunday admin eats the hours meant for coaching. Opening 40 client profiles, Google Sheets, Loom tabs, WhatsApp voice notes, and emailed blood test PDFs takes all morning before you write a single reply.
3. Software bills punish growth. Legacy coaching platforms advertise a low starter rate, then charge separate monthly add-ons for Stripe payments, meal planning, automations, and branding.

Kahunas 2.0 removes all three bottlenecks in one release.

An instant client app in 3 taps (no app store in the middle)

Every coach gets a dedicated client web app that installs straight from your link (yourname.kahunas.app) on iPhone, Android, and desktop:

1. Your client opens your link.
2. They tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
3. They tap Add.

The app opens full screen from its own home screen icon in light mode, dark mode, or matched to the phone. Clients never search an app store, wait on a download, or tap an update button; new versions go live the next time they open the app.

Gym basements and flights do not interrupt logging. Sets, cardio, meals, weigh-ins, check-in answers, and downloaded videos save on the phone offline and sync once signal returns. Businesses using Google, Microsoft, Okta, or Entra ID via WorkOS can also let coaches and clients sign in with their existing accounts alongside standard email and password login.

Know who needs you first: Intelligent Insights and your AI Crew

Clients rarely cancel out of nowhere; they miss a check-in, stop logging workouts, and go quiet first. Kahunas 2.0 builds two layers of triage into your workspace so quiet clients surface early.

Intelligent Insights (included on every plan)

Intelligent Insights gives every client a daily Attention Score out of 100 (from On track to Act today) built from six transparent signals:

• Missed check-ins (two or more missed): +25
• Failed or overdue payments: +30
• No recent training (7 days without a logged workout): +20
• Unanswered message (waiting 48+ hours): +15
• Low habit compliance (fewer than 3 habit days in the last 7): +10
• No recent nutrition logs (7 days on an active meal plan): +10

Alongside the score, Kahunas writes short context cards marked Today or This week (for example, linking an 8-day training gap to a Saturday message about a sore knee). On the client side, check-in ratings combine into a Health Aura Score out of 100 charted across 12 weeks.

Crew: AI assistants with one job each (included from 50 seats)

General chatbots cannot see your clients' workouts, macros, or check-in history. Crew puts three specialised AI assistants inside your workspace, with two more (Tru for marketing and Flint for business numbers) on the way:

• Ora (Client triage): Runs at 06:30 (or any schedule you pick), reads check-ins, logs, and unread messages, and posts a ranked morning shortlist of who to message first. Turn on voice recaps and Ora records a sub-minute audio summary naming the clients who need you without reading private health data aloud.
• Moss (Nutrition & training): Drafts workout programs, meal plans, and check-in forms straight from your existing templates and library. Nothing touches a client's live profile until you review and approve it.
• Whim (Client Q&A): Answers direct questions across your real roster data, such as how a client's sleep trended this month or who missed Sunday's weigh-in.

Deeper coaching: workouts, form checks, nutrition, blood labs, wearables & cycle tracking

Kahunas 2.0 brings specialist health and performance tools into the same profile as sets and macros.

• Workouts (every plan): Build sessions with warm-ups, straight sets, supersets, circuits, EMOM, Tabata, and cool-downs using 1,700+ exercise videos or your own uploads and YouTube links. A live muscle-group volume map updates as you program, and clients log weight and reps set by set against their previous bests.
• Exercise Analysis (beta, from 50 seats): Clients tap Record form check inside their workout and upload a set video. Kahunas tracks joint landmarks, joint paths, rep counts, cadence, down/up phase durations, and start-to-turn angles, paired with a draggable 3D body view and 0.25x/0.5x rep looping so you can spot form breakdown on rep four without scrubbing WhatsApp clips.
• Nutrition, Recipes & Supplement Plans: Calculate BMR and TDEE using Mifflin-St Jeor (or Katch-McArdle when body fat is entered), split macros across meals, add client-selectable meal swaps, and inspect micronutrients from a 1.5 million+ food database with built-in barcode scanning. From 25 seats, the Recipe Builder calculates per-serving macros from batch ingredients and drops straight into meal plans. Supplement Plans (every plan) group doses and durations into morning, afternoon, evening, and anytime slots.
• Labs (every plan): Add a Lab results field to your check-in form so clients attach a PDF or photo of their blood panel. Kahunas extracts each biomarker, value, unit, and lab reference range in under a minute, highlighting borderline and out-of-range markers in amber and red across List and Grid views.
• Wearables (every plan): Clients connect Oura, Whoop, Strava, or Ultrahuman directly in the app (with Garmin, Polar, and Suunto coming soon), plus Apple Health and Health Connect via Biomtrx. Steps, sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV fill in matching check-in and daily habit fields automatically.
• Menstrual Cycle Tracking (every plan): Private by default; you do not even see whether a client tracks unless they choose to share Period dates or Period dates + wellbeing. Cycle predictions calculate from the client's own logged history rather than a fixed 28-day assumption, support hormonal birth control, postpartum/menopause, and pregnancy states, and place a read-only Cycle card alongside weekly check-ins.

Faster weekly reviews: side-by-side check-ins, swipe habits, auto-charts & screen recording

• Check-ins (every plan): Every submission lands in a single Review / Missed / Done inbox, lined up side by side against the previous check-in (or any earlier date you pick) with badges showing which training and nutrition plans were active.
• Screen Recorder (from 50 seats): Press Record screen right inside the check-in reply box in Chrome or Edge, toggle your camera bubble on, walk through the client's charts and photos for up to 10 minutes, and hit send. The video attaches to the reply and saves to the client's gallery with no Loom subscription or link copying.
• Habits & Metrics (every plan): Clients swipe right or left on daily yes/no and numeric habits in seconds. Every numeric and rating answer across check-ins, habits, and intake forms plots automatically across 7-day, 30-day, 90-day, or custom date charts with start, end, and average values.

Scale past 1-to-1: roadmaps, automations, communities, courses, challenges & teams

As your roster grows, Kahunas 2.0 unlocks tools to coach groups, sell digital products, and delegate reviews without sharing passwords:

• Season Roadmaps (from 25 seats): Map 6-month or 12-month periodisation blocks (for example, Strength base -> Hypertrophy -> Strength peak) on a client timeline. Each phase assigns its workout program on its start date in the client's time zone and stays hidden until then.
• Automations (from 25 seats): Trigger multi-step email, push notification, and in-app chat sequences across 12 events (new client created, initial Q&A completed, check-in reminder, missed check-in, plan updates, birthdays), timed to each client's local time zone. Zapier and Make integrations plus lead capture forms unlock at the same tier.
• Team Hub (from 50 seats): Give every assistant, training coach, and nutrition coach their own login with area-by-area permissions (None, View, or View & edit) scoped strictly to their assigned clients. Pair up to two coaches on one client, track check-in handoffs against an 8-working-hour target, and compare on-time review rates across your staff.
• Group Chats (every plan) & Communities (from 100 seats): Run cohort chats for up to 100 people inside Messages without giving out your personal phone number. At 100 seats, open dedicated Community feeds linked to packages, complete with post moderation queues, unanswered-question lists, and monthly counts of posting versus silent members.
• Content Library (every plan), Education Courses & Challenges (from 100 seats): Drip-release guides and videos X days after sign-up, sell multi-module video/audio/reading courses with completion tracking, and run up to 12-week paid fitness challenges where weekly weigh-ins automatically recommend the right calorie-bracket meal plan and members vote on finalists at the finish.

Your brand, your domain, and 0% payment commission

Every plan includes Payments through your own Stripe or PayPal account across 17 currencies, with 0% Kahunas commission (standard Stripe or PayPal processor rates apply) and Calendar session requests with clash detection. You can sell recurring subscriptions, one-off packages, split payment plans, or upfront blocks that roll into a subscription, and attach up to five workout programs, a meal plan, a supplement plan, and onboarding forms to assign at checkout.

Once you reach 200 seats, Kahunas unlocks full white-label Branded App, Custom Domain, and Personalisation controls:

• Upload your logo and hex brand colour across the client app, home screen icon, login screen, and coach portal.
• Pick your own yourbrand.kahunas.app web address and verify your DNS records (CNAME, MX, TXT) so client emails arrive from hello@yourbrand.com instead of a generic no-reply address.
• Customise the two primary slots in your clients' bottom navigation bar (choosing from Workouts, Nutrition, Content, Community, and Courses) so your app matches how you coach.

Kahunas 2.0 pay-per-seat pricing (checked 28 October 2026)

Kahunas charges per active seat (one active client or non-owner team member; you as the owner and your leads never take a seat). As your roster grows, the per-seat price steps down, and Kahunas automatically bills whichever is lower: your exact seat count at your tier rate, or the entry floor of the next tier down. That rule means 13 to 24 seats never exceed $62.50/month, and 75 to 99 seats never exceed $150/month.

Honest limitations before you switch

Disclosure: Kahunas is our product, so here are the trade-offs up front:

• No free forever tier. Plans start at 3 seats ($15/month monthly, $12/month billed yearly), backed by a 14-day free trial and a 3-month money-back guarantee. Coaches who want a $0 plan for a handful of clients should look at Everfit Starter (5 clients) or QuickCoach (20 clients) in our Trainerize alternatives guide.
• Web app rather than an App Store listing. Clients install your app from your link in three taps rather than searching the Apple App Store or Google Play, and custom logo/colour branding unlocks at 200 seats.
• Built for coaching, not gym turnstiles. Brick-and-mortar gyms needing front-desk check-in hardware, MindBody sync, or multi-room class timetables are better served by studio software like Trainerize Studio or Exercise.com.
