Moving from CoachRx

  1. Export your clients from CoachRx's Clients page with Export All (CSV); its help center says the file can carry names, emails, coach, status, dates, profile fields, tags and billing fields.17
  2. Export each client's workouts from their calendar as a PDF or a text file, sent by email, as CoachRx's help center describes. CoachVana's importer takes both.1819
  3. Import the program files into CoachVana: each one is read into weeks, days, exercises, sets and reps, exercises are matched to the library and rest days are kept. Review and save to your library.
  4. Import the client file, match the columns once, and every client gets an invite carrying whatever details the file holds. Assign each one their program once they accept.
  5. Set up your plans on your Stripe account, then move each client's billing on the day their old subscription would renew, so nobody pays twice.
  6. Run both for two weeks, then cancel CoachRx.
