Moving from CoachRx
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Run both for two weeks, then cancel CoachRx.
