How Clientless Coaching Works

Clientless is Spartn’s browser-based coaching experience for clients who do not want to install the app. It is still a paid, secure trainer-client relationship—not a workaround around billing.

The client journey

1. From Client Management, choose Clientless.
2. Choose an active coaching plan and optionally attach an offer.
3. Send the secure portal link. The client opens it in any modern browser.
4. The client completes Stripe Checkout. After payment and trainer acceptance, their portal unlocks.
5. They can view assigned programs and sessions, message their trainer, and submit check-ins.

What Clientless includes

• A secure browser portal with no account creation or app download required.
• Stripe-backed coaching subscriptions.
• Expandable programs with training days, exercises, prescriptions, and trainer notes.
• Scheduled sessions with secure Google Meet access.
• Trainer messages and lightweight client check-ins.
• Management from the same client, calendar, program, and messaging tools trainers already use.

What it does not include

Clientless is intentionally lighter than the full Spartn app. It does not include native workout completion, HealthKit connections, push notifications, or the complete mobile-client experience. Clients who want those features can choose the Spartn app during an offer or invitation flow.

Discounts and complimentary coaching

Coaching is paid by default. Use Offers & Codes to apply a percentage discount to an existing plan—either privately while inviting a specific person or through a reusable campaign code.

For deliberate free coaching, use a 100% offer. It still starts through Stripe Checkout. The offer can continue at the regular plan price after its configured duration, or coaching access can end on a trainer-selected date.

Security and access

Portal links are opaque, stored as hashes, and expire. They are not open public client accounts. Coaching data requires an accepted, paid, unexpired trainer-client relationship. Access ends when the trainer releases the relationship, billing ends, or the configured access period expires.
