What Sage actually is
Before the tools: what you get, what your members get, and what you have to make yourself.
The app
Sage is a fitness and nutrition tracking app. People log their meals by photographing the plate, their workouts, their steps and their weigh-ins, and they see their own progress. On top of that, a coach can open their own club inside it, with a monthly subscription.
What goes inside a club
- Courses and lessons, built from video, text, PDFs and images — whatever you want to teach, laid out in the order you want people to go through it.
- Channels — announcement channels where only you post, and open channels where the members talk to each other, ask questions and push each other along.
- Challenges, whenever you decide to run one and for as long as you want, a few weeks or a few months. The leaderboard builds itself from what the app is already tracking — kilos lost and percentage of bodyweight — so you collect nothing by hand.
In the club you see your members, the channels and the challenge board. You don't see anyone's private data there.
1:1 is the separate one
That's where it gets individual: a private chat with each client — text, photos, voice notes and files — and, when they turn sharing on, their meals, their weigh-ins and their progress day by day. So your feedback is based on what they actually did that week, not on what they remember doing.
What you sell is your call
What goes in the club, what it's about, what it costs — that's yours to decide, as long as it's fitness, nutrition, training or health. Your business stays your business.
And the subscription doesn't have to be the only thing you sell. Every course you build can either come with the membership, or sit behind its own one-off price inside the club. So when you make something bigger — a twelve-week programme, a proper rehab course — you put it up at its own price, and the people already in there are the first ones to see it. Members can tip you too, and 1:1 sits above all of it, for the few who want you personally.
Who pays what
- Your own Sage Premium is free from the moment you're approved.
- Your members pay $4.99 / month for Sage on top of whatever you charge, at the same checkout — nothing for you to explain, collect or manage. On its own the app is $7.99, so they get it cheaper because they came through you.
- It doesn't touch your share, which is calculated only on what they pay you.
And the part nobody tells you
The five steps below take about twenty minutes. The material doesn't. Proper lessons — filmed and edited for someone to follow along — are a different thing from a reel, and that's a few hours at least, sometimes a few days. You already know what goes in them; what takes the time is recording it properly. Everything stays editable forever, so nothing has to be finished before you start.
