A coaching app in your clients' language: which platforms run in which languages.
Coachway, our own product, runs its client app and coach dashboard in English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch and Spanish, and each client picks their own. For Portuguese, French or Italian, look at HubFit, Everfit or Trainero instead. Your client opens the app every day, and every button, reminder and food search in a second language is a small daily effort. Below: what "in their language" has to cover, how to test it in a free trial, and nine platforms compared.

the short version
If your clients speak Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch or Spanish, pick Coachway: the client app and the coach dashboard both run in eight languages (English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch and Spanish), and each client and each coach picks their own. It costs EUR 69/month including 5 clients, then EUR 9 per extra client (USD 79 + 10, GBP 59 + 8), with every feature on one plan.
- HubFit if your clients need Portuguese, French, Turkish, Bulgarian, Czech or Romanian: its client app runs in ten languages.
- Everfit if your clients need Italian or French: its client app runs in English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch and Italian (coach side in English).
- Trainero if you need a language none of the others cover: it says its client app supports 38 languages.
- Trainerize, TrueCoach, PT Distinction, My PT Hub and Kahunas if you and your clients work in English; check each vendor's page for other languages.
Where Coachway is not the pick: clients who need Portuguese, Italian or French, which Coachway does not offer. The app translates its own screens; the programs, check-in questions and messages you write appear in the language you write them in.
Open the client app in your client's language, free for 14 daysWho needs a coaching app in their clients' language?
Any coach whose clients do not all read English comfortably. You may coach in English yourself and still lose a client to the app: the program is fine, but the reminder, the food search and the check-in screen are a small daily effort in a second language, and small daily efforts are what clients stop doing. These are the coaches who ask for a client app in the client's own language most often.
- Coaches with clients across Europe. A coach in Copenhagen with clients in Oslo, Hamburg and Madrid needs one app that each of them can read, not three different tools.
- Coaches in the Nordics, Germany, the Netherlands or Spain. Your clients live their day in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch or Spanish, and the app on their phone should too.
- Coaches with expat clients. A Spanish client living in Amsterdam or a German client in Stockholm often prefers the app in their first language, even when you coach them in English.
- The client whose English is weak. They will follow a workout from the video, but they will not search for "oatmeal" or "quark" in English three times a day. Food logging is where a foreign-language app fails first.
What does "in their language" have to mean?
A coaching app is in your client's language when the whole client app is, not only the plan you write. You can type a workout in Danish on almost any platform; that does not make the app Danish. The client still sees English buttons, English reminders and an English food search around your text. Check these five parts.
- The screens and buttons. Home, the workout player, the food log, settings and the check-in screen. If the app has a language setting at all, this is the part it changes.
- The food search. Can the client find what they eat by typing the word they use for it, and does scanning a barcode from their own supermarket find the product?
- Exercise names and videos. Does the client see the exercise name in their language or yours, and is the video demo clear enough to follow without reading the text?
- The check-in questions you write yourself. Expect to write these in each client's language yourself. If you coach clients in two languages, you write the check-in form twice.
- Notifications. The reminder on the lock screen is the one line the client reads every day. It should not be the one line in English.
Translated app vs translated content
The usual line: the app translates its own interface, and the text you write yourself (program notes, check-in questions, messages) stays in the language you wrote it in. HubFit's help centre draws the line plainly: tab labels, buttons, menus, system messages and notification text are translated; programs, meal plans, recipes, check-in forms and chat are not. Trainero's client app page says its exercises and food items are translated into several languages. Coachway translates every screen your client touches, including check-ins, messages and notifications, and the programs, messages and check-in questions you write appear in the language you coach in. The difference between platforms is which languages the interface covers and whether the coach dashboard is translated too.
Which coaching platforms run the client app in which languages?
Coachway covers eight languages in both the client app and the coach dashboard: English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch and Spanish. HubFit's client app covers ten languages, including Norwegian but not Danish, Swedish, Finnish or German. Everfit's covers six, including German and Dutch but no Nordic language, with the coach side in English. Trainero says it supports 38. Trainerize is English only; TrueCoach, PT Distinction and My PT Hub are English-first; and Kahunas's App Store listing shows English only.

How do you test the client app language in a trial?
Do not trust a language list on a pricing page. Spend 20 minutes in the trial with the client app on a real phone, and do it as your client, not as yourself.
- Invite yourself as a test client and set the client app to your client's language.
- Open every tab: today's workout, the food log, the check-in, messages and settings. Note any screen that falls back to English.
- Search for three foods your client eats every week, typed the way they would type them, and scan five barcodes from their own supermarket.
- Start a workout and look at the exercise names and the video demos.
- Send yourself a check-in reminder and read the notification on the lock screen.
- If you have a team, have a second coach set the coach dashboard to their own language.

A Norwegian, a German and a Spanish client in one app.
Say you coach from Copenhagen and your dashboard is set to Danish. Your client in Bergen sets the app to Norwegian, your client in Munich to German, your client in Valencia to Spanish. Each of them sees every screen in their own language, including the check-in, messages and notifications, and logs food against a 3.7 million item food database with barcode scanning, a photo diary and quick add. The programs, meal plans and check-in questions you write appear as you wrote them, so you write them in the language you coach each client in. One app in each client's own language, carrying your own programs, meal plans, check-ins and prices.
Coachway costs EUR 69 a month including up to 5 active clients, then EUR 9 per extra active client (also priced in DKK, NOK, SEK, GBP and USD), with every feature on one plan. Clients pay you through your own Stripe account; the subscription takes no share of your coaching revenue, and built-in payments cost 2.4% per transaction.
Which coaching app should you pick for your clients' language?
- Your clients speak Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch or Spanish. Coachway, because the client app and the coach dashboard both run in those languages, each client picks their own, and training, nutrition, check-ins, chat and payments sit on one plan at EUR 69 a month including 5 clients.
- Your clients need Portuguese, French, Turkish, Czech, Romanian or Bulgarian. HubFit.
- Your clients need Italian, or French alongside German. Everfit, with the coach side in English.
- You need a language none of the above list. Trainero, which says it supports 38.
- Everyone, you included, works in English. Language does not decide it; compare on the work you do every week instead.

Frequently asked questions about coaching apps in other languages.
Which coaching apps are available in other languages?
Coachway runs the client app and the coach dashboard in English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch and Spanish. HubFit's client app runs in ten languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Norwegian, Dutch, Turkish, Bulgarian, Czech and Romanian), Everfit's in six (English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch and Italian) and Trainero says it supports 38. Trainerize is English only; TrueCoach, PT Distinction and My PT Hub are English-first; and Kahunas's App Store listing shows English only. HubFit, Everfit and Trainero checked on their own pages on 4 November 2026; the others from our reviews of September and October 2026.
Can each client choose their own language?
In Coachway, yes: each client picks their own language in the client app, so one client can use it in Norwegian while another uses it in Spanish, under the same coach. HubFit and Everfit also let the client change the language in the app settings; on HubFit only the client can change it, not the coach. Plan to write your own text in each client's language: the programs, check-in questions and messages you type appear in the language you write them in.
Is the coach dashboard translated too?
In Coachway, yes. The coach dashboard runs in the same eight languages as the client app (English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch and Spanish), and each coach on a team picks their own. Everfit translates the client app while the coach side stays in English. HubFit and Trainero do not state a coach dashboard language on the pages we checked, so ask them before you buy.
Does the food database work in my clients' language?
In Coachway the food log sits inside the client app, so the screens around it are in the language the client picked. Clients log food against a 3.7 million item food database with barcode scanning, a photo diary and quick add. In Norway the food log is connected to Matvaretabellen, the Norwegian food composition table, and in Denmark the whole food log is in Danish, so clients can search Danish foods such as rugbrød or skyr. Before you rely on any platform for food logging, test it in the trial: scan five products from your client's own supermarket and search for three foods they eat every week.
Which languages does Coachway support?
Eight, for both the client app and the coach dashboard: English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Dutch and Spanish. Each client and each coach picks their own. Coachway is not available in Portuguese, Italian or French; for those, HubFit, Everfit or Trainero cover some of them. Coachway costs EUR 69 a month including 5 clients, then EUR 9 per extra client.
