CoachSMS
FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything you might want to know before your coach starts texting.

Do I need to download an app?
Nope. CoachSMS works entirely over regular text messages. There's nothing to install, no account to fumble, and no notifications to ignore — it's just your coach, texting you.
What kind of phone do I need?
Any phone that can send and receive SMS. Smartphone, old flip phone, work phone — if it texts, it works.
Is the coach a real person?
It's an AI coach, available 24/7, that talks like a real one. It remembers your details, adapts to your goals, and pushes you the way you ask to be pushed.
What's a message credit?
One credit is roughly one text segment (about 160 characters). Both your messages and your coach's replies use credits — so you only pay for actual coaching. Standard includes 500/month and Premium includes 1,500/month.
What happens if I run out of credits?
Your coach will let you know and send you a link to top up. You can also reply BUY any time to add a credit pack instantly without changing your plan.
Can I change the coaching style?
Anytime. Just text something like "be tougher" or "give me the science" and your coach switches between Encouraging Friend, Drill Sergeant, and Data-Driven Scientist. You can also set it on your dashboard.
How do reminders and streaks work?
Set a weekly goal (say, 4 days) and a reminder time. Your coach nudges you on training days, and every workout you log builds your no-skip streak — which it celebrates with you.
Is my information private?
Yes. We never sell your data. Your number and messages are used only to coach you. Read the full Privacy Policy for details.
Does this replace a doctor or personal trainer?
No. CoachSMS offers general fitness coaching and motivation, not medical advice. If you're injured, ill, or unsure about an exercise, rest and check with a qualified professional.
How do I cancel?
Reply STOP at any time to stop all messages, or manage your plan from your dashboard. No phone calls, no retention maze.
