Kahunas alternatives with free migration: who does the move for you.

If you are thinking about leaving Kahunas, the hard part is the move: your clients, your programs, their history, and the payments your clients already have running. Some platforms send a team to do it. One gives you an import tool. Others ask you to rebuild. This page sets out what eight platforms say about moving you, in their own words, linked and checked on 11 November 2026, and what is hard to move whichever you pick.

By Markus Evers · Published 11 November 2026

Disclosure: we build Coachway, one of the eight platforms on this page. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Kahunas or any other platform here. Kahunas, or any platform listed, can send a correction or a statement to [email protected] and we will add it. How we checked, and our sources.

the short answer

Four platforms say a team does the move. Superset's team moves your clients, programs and workout history from Kahunas at no cost, with a 14-day trial and no card. Exercise.com offers a done-for-you migration, priced after a demo. CoachVault does a guided migration with you on a call, priced on the call. Coachway, our product, does the migration with you in one day, free, and your first month is free when you sign up on the switch offer page; our sign-up takes a card. Trainnode gives you a spreadsheet import. HubFit, TrainerStudio and CoachingPortal have no importer: you rebuild and invite your clients. Whichever you choose, do not count on chat history coming across from Kahunas, and plan your clients' payment subscriptions separately.

at a glance

Who moves you from Kahunas, and on what terms

We ordered the eight by how much of the move each says it does for you, reading each platform's own pages on 11 November 2026. A team that does the move comes before an import tool, and an import tool before a rebuild. Among the four with a team, Superset comes first for the clearest free promise made to Kahunas coaches, then the two that say payment data comes across, then ours, which sets client payments up again rather than moving them. This is what each one publishes, not a test: we have not moved an account through any of them. If you want a broader comparison of features and prices, our Kahunas alternative guide covers that.

in their own words

Platform by platform

For each platform: whether it offers to move you, who does the work, what it says moves, how long, what it costs and the trial terms. What a rival says about Kahunas is left out; only what it says about itself is here.

1. Superset

A team does the move
Offers to move you?
Yes. It has a page for coaches leaving Kahunas: "We move you for free."
Who does the work
Its team: "Our team moves your clients, programs, and workout history from Kahunas at no cost."
What it says moves
Clients, programs and workout history. Set up again: "Automated messages and anything custom you built in Kahunas. Our team helps you set it up in Superset." You reconnect your calendar and any links that point to Kahunas. It suggests moving two or three clients first and running a normal week with them.
How long
No time stated.
What it costs
The move is free. Plans: Base USD 39 a month billed yearly for up to 10 clients, with a 4% fee on each client payment; Pro USD 99 a month for 25 clients, with no Superset fee on client payments.
Trial
14 days free, "with no payment details or commitment required".
Worth knowing
The strongest free offer we found for coaches who want a team to do the move without giving a card. It names workout history, which our own offer does not promise.

2. Exercise.com

A team does the move
Offers to move you?
Yes. It has a Kahunas comparison page with a migration offer.
Who does the work
Its team: "We offer done-for-you migration from every software platform." and "Our team of experts will migrate your data!"
What it says moves
In its words: "your clients payment, package, and other data will all be imported." The page gives no detail on what it moves from Kahunas in particular.
How long
No time stated.
What it costs
Not stated. Its pricing page asks you to "Get a quote".
Trial
No trial on the pages we checked. The next step is "Book Demo".
Worth knowing
Its pages are written for fitness businesses in general, gyms and studios as well as trainers. It claims the widest scope of the eight, including payment data, so ask on the demo exactly what that means for client subscriptions that are running today.

3. CoachVault

A team does the move
Offers to move you?
Yes, for any coach. We found no Kahunas page.
Who does the work
Its founders, with you: "Founding coaches get it done together with us on a call, not left alone with a help doc."
What it says moves
"With us, on onboarding, programs, client details and payments come across in a guided migration."
How long
"Most coaches are fully set up inside a week, with us on a call, not off a PDF."
What it costs
No separate price for the move stated. The plan is "a couple of hundred a month", with the exact number given on a call.
Trial
No trial. A free 30-minute strategy call first, and a "30-day money-back guarantee" if you join.
Worth knowing
A hands-on setup on a call. It says it takes coaches on in small batches: "When a batch fills, bookings pause."

4. Coachway (our product)

A team does the move
Offers to move you?
Yes, for coaches coming from Kahunas.
Who does the work
A person from our team does the migration with you. You sign up on the switch offer page, then tell us you are coming from Kahunas, with the short form there or in the chat inside the app. You do not need to tell us to get the free month; it helps us plan the move. A real person replies the same day on weekdays.
What it says moves
It starts with what you send us. From that, our team sets up your client list and the training programs, check-in forms and meal plans we agree with you, and you hear which ones before anything changes. Client history depends on what Kahunas can export. Chat history is not in the data copy Kahunas documents, so do not count on it. Client payment subscriptions do not move: they are set up again on your own Stripe, and we plan the switch date with you so nobody is charged twice.
How long
In one day.
What it costs
The move is free. Coaches coming from Kahunas also get half our standard price where it applies (not in Norway, Sweden, Denmark or Finland, where normal prices apply). The price after the free month is shown in the checkout on the switch offer page. On client payments, Coachway takes 2.4% per transaction plus Stripe's fees.
Trial
Sign up on the switch offer page and the checkout shows 30 days free. Card required. Nothing is charged during your free month. Tell us you are coming from Kahunas so we can plan the move.
Worth knowing
Unlike Superset, Trainnode, TrainerStudio, HubFit and CoachingPortal, our sign-up takes a card. We have no branded client app: your clients use the Coachway app. Month to month, no minimum term.

Our offer, as of 11 November 2026: coachway.io/kahunas

5. Trainnode

An import tool, with help on offer
Offers to move you?
It gives you an import tool and has a Kahunas page.
Who does the work
You, with its import. Its co-founder also offers help: "Send me your export and I'll go through it with you."
What it says moves
From a CSV or Excel file: clients, your exercise library and programming, with sets, reps, loads and rest. Its Kahunas page says: "Export your clients and programs from Kahunas to a spreadsheet and upload it." Then each client gets an email invite.
How long
"Switching takes an hour." Its Kahunas page plans it as afternoon one for the import, day two for invites.
What it costs
The import is part of the product. Starter is EUR 65 a month for 1 coach and 20 clients.
Trial
"14 days free, no credit card."
Worth knowing
Built for PT studios that coach in person, with payments through Mollie. The import needs a spreadsheet. Kahunas's help guide on data requests describes a per-client data copy and an account-data copy prepared by its support; it does not mention a spreadsheet of programs, so ask Trainnode which file it needs from you.

6. TrainerStudio

You rebuild
Offers to move you?
No. It has a Kahunas page with a how-to.
Who does the work
You: "There is no automatic importer. You invite clients by email and rebuild your templates, typically a few hours of work. Support can help you set it up."
What it says moves
Nothing is imported. You rebuild programs and nutrition plans, invite clients by email, then move habits and check-ins.
How long
"Typically a few hours of work."
What it costs
No move to pay for. Free plan up to 3 clients; paid plans start at EUR 19 a month for 5 clients in Spain and Europe. Prices are set per country.
Trial
A permanent free plan rather than a trial: "Free up to 3 clients, no card".
Worth knowing
Your brand on the client app from the free plan. It says plainly: "Our support is fastest in Spanish and the team is based in Spain, not in the UK."

7. HubFit

You rebuild
Offers to move you?
No. It has a Kahunas page with a how-to.
Who does the work
You: "Rebuild your programs and meal plans in HubFit, set up an Onboarding Flow, then invite your clients by email."
What it says moves
Nothing is imported. Its Workout AI drafts workouts while you rebuild, and meals come from its 5,000+ recipes. "Keep Kahunas running meanwhile."
How long
"You can move over in a weekend."
What it costs
No move to pay for. Free plan up to 2 clients; Standard USD 39 a month billed monthly (USD 31 billed yearly) for up to 50 clients.
Trial
"Start for free", "No credit card required".
Worth knowing
Fine if you would rather rebuild your programs yourself and want a free start. The client app is free for your clients.

8. CoachingPortal

You rebuild
Offers to move you?
No. It has a Kahunas page that says so.
Who does the work
You: "There is no importer. Rebuild programs, bulk-invite, overlap, then cancel."
What it says moves
Nothing is imported. Clients install CoachingPortal and sign in.
How long
No time stated.
What it costs
No move to pay for. Free for 3 clients; Grow USD 19.99 a month for 10 clients; Professional USD 49.99 a month, unlimited clients.
Trial
"Free forever for 3 clients. No credit card."
Worth knowing
Clear about what it does not do. Your logo and colours on the client portal from the free plan.

from any platform

What is hard to move, whichever platform you pick

A free move covers what the new platform can read. Some things do not travel well between any two coaching platforms, and a few depend on what Kahunas lets you export.

Chat history

Kahunas's guide Responding to a client data request says of its per-client copy: "Chat messages are not in the copy yet." (checked 11 November 2026). So no platform can promise your Kahunas chats from that copy. If a thread matters, save what you need before you leave.

Client payment subscriptions

On Kahunas, clients pay through your own Stripe or PayPal account (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 11 November 2026). A subscription that is running today has to be ended on one side and started on the other, on a date you choose, or a client is charged twice or not at all. Kahunas's guide Managing client billing shows how to cancel a client's subscription at the end of the period. Coachway does not move subscriptions: they are set up again on your own Stripe.

Exercise videos

Each platform has its own exercise library, so a moved program is matched to the new library's exercises. Your own filmed demos are a separate job: keep the original files or the YouTube links. On Coachway you can upload your own video (up to 150 MB) or link YouTube, YouTube Shorts or Vimeo. Ask any platform whether your own videos come across or are added again.

Check-ins, logs and photos

Kahunas's per-client copy is a zip with the client's profile, check-ins, form answers, workout and nutrition logs, measurements, goals, payment records and uploaded photos and files. You download it or send the client a link that works for 72 hours, and the copy is kept for 30 days. Whether a new platform can bring that history in is the question to ask each one.

Automations and custom setups

Automated messages, onboarding sequences and anything you built your own way are usually set up again by hand. Even Superset, which moves clients, programs and workout history, lists "Automated messages and anything custom you built in Kahunas" as something its team helps you set up again.

Your clients' logins

Every platform here has its own app, so each client installs it and logs in. That is the step clients notice. A clear message from you, sent on a set date, does more than any import.

For the step-by-step version of the move, including what to export first, see how to switch from Kahunas. For moves between any two platforms, see how to migrate clients between coaching platforms.

before you choose

Questions to ask any platform before it moves you

Ask these of us too. Get the answers in writing before you invite a single client.

  1. 1

    Who does the work: your team, or me?

    A team that does the move and a tool you run yourself are different offers. If it is a team, ask whether they work with you on a call or on their own.

  2. 2

    What exactly moves, in writing, before I commit?

    Clients, programs, templates, check-in forms, meal plans, workout history, check-in history, progress photos, chat. Get a yes or no for each.

  3. 3

    What happens to my clients' running payment subscriptions?

    Who sets them up on the new platform, who cancels the old ones, and on what date, so nobody is charged twice or not at all.

  4. 4

    How long, and when do my clients get their invite?

    A time for the move is useful. A date for the client invite is what your clients notice.

  5. 5

    What does the move cost, and does the trial cover it?

    A free move on a short trial can leave you deciding before the move is done. Ask when the first charge lands.

  6. 6

    Do I need a card to start?

    Several platforms here start without one. Ours does not.

  7. 7

    Can I move two or three clients first and run both apps side by side?

    A real week with a few clients tells you more than any demo. Keep Kahunas running until it has passed.

  8. 8

    What do my clients have to do?

    Every platform here has its own app. Ask for the message to send your clients, and what they do if they cannot log in.

  9. 9

    If I leave you later, what can I take with me?

    Ask now, while you are choosing, not on the way out.

a fair word on staying

Before you leave Kahunas

You may not need to move at all. Kahunas's pricing page answers "I already use Kahunas. Does my price change?" with: "No. You keep your current plan, price and features until you choose a seat plan yourself on Your plan. We never move you." (checked 11 November 2026). Kahunas describes its 2.0 update as a rebuild around one client app that installs from the coach's link, AI assistants and pay-per-seat pricing (Kahunas 2.0 blog post, checked 11 November 2026).

Some coaches have said in public comments this month that they do not like parts of the update, and others have said they like parts of it. We paraphrase these comments and have not verified them. Our Kahunas 2.0 explainer sets out what Kahunas says changed.

Where Kahunas comes out ahead of Coachway: Kahunas lists "0% commission on your sales", while Coachway takes 2.4% per transaction plus Stripe's fees. Its 2.0 post lists AI assistants, blood lab reading, wearables and cycle tracking. And from 200 seats Kahunas puts your logo and colour on the client web app (kahunas.io/features/branded-app, checked 11 November 2026); Coachway has no branded client app.

If you do move, whichever platform you pick

  • Request your data first. Kahunas says its support "will prepare a copy of your account data and email download links to your sign-in email address within one month", so ask early (help.kahunas.app, checked 11 November 2026).
  • Do not cancel first. Kahunas's cancellation guide says that when your plan ends, you and your clients lose access, including the coach app and the client app.
  • Move two or three clients first. Run a real week with them on the new platform while Kahunas keeps running, then move the rest.
  • Set the payment date. Decide the day each client's new subscription starts and the old one ends.

questions coaches are asking

Moving from Kahunas, frequently asked.

Which Kahunas alternatives offer free migration?

Of the platforms we checked on 11 November 2026, two state a free move by their own team: Superset ("Our team moves your clients, programs, and workout history from Kahunas at no cost") and Coachway (our team does the migration with you in one day, free; you sign up on the switch offer page and tell us you are coming from Kahunas so we can plan the move). Exercise.com offers a done-for-you migration and CoachVault a guided migration on a call, but neither states a separate price for the move; both quote a plan on a demo or call. Trainnode includes a spreadsheet import. HubFit, TrainerStudio and CoachingPortal have no importer: you rebuild and invite your clients.

Can I import clients from Kahunas?

It depends on what you can get out of Kahunas. Kahunas's help centre documents a copy of one client's data (a zip with their profile, check-ins, form answers, workout and nutrition logs, measurements, goals, payment records and uploaded photos and files, without chat messages) and a copy of your own account data that its support emails within one month of your request. We read the help centre, not the product itself, so check your own account for other export options. Platforms that import either do the move for you or take a spreadsheet, so ask each one what it needs from you. Checked on help.kahunas.app on 11 November 2026.

Will my chat history move from Kahunas?

Do not count on it. Kahunas's guide to client data requests says "Chat messages are not in the copy yet." (help.kahunas.app, checked 11 November 2026). If a conversation matters, save what you need before you leave, and ask any platform you consider whether it can bring chat across.

Do my clients' payment subscriptions move?

Plan for them separately. On Kahunas, clients pay through the coach's own Stripe or PayPal account (kahunas.io/pricing, checked 11 November 2026). If you move to Coachway, subscriptions do not move: they are set up again on your own Stripe, and we plan the switch date with you so nobody is charged twice. Exercise.com and CoachVault say payment data comes across in their migrations; ask them what that means for subscriptions that are running today, and who cancels the old ones.

How long does it take to migrate from Kahunas?

It depends on who does it and what moves. In each platform's own words: Coachway, in one day; Trainnode, "Switching takes an hour" with its import; TrainerStudio, "typically a few hours of work"; HubFit, "in a weekend"; CoachVault, "Most coaches are fully set up inside a week". Superset, Exercise.com and CoachingPortal state no time. We have not timed any of these moves ourselves.

Do I need a card to start a trial?

For most of these, no. Superset, Trainnode and HubFit say no card is needed, and TrainerStudio and CoachingPortal have free plans with no card. CoachVault and Exercise.com start with a call or a demo. Coachway takes a card at sign-up: nothing is charged during your free month, and the free month applies when you sign up on the switch offer page.

How do I get the Coachway switch offer?

Sign up on the switch offer page. The checkout shows 30 days free and the price after it, and a card is required. Then tell us you are coming from Kahunas, with the short form there or in the chat inside the app, and a person on our team plans the move with you. You do not need to tell us to get the free month. A real person replies the same day on weekdays.

Should I cancel Kahunas before I move?

No. Kahunas's cancellation guide says that when your plan ends, you and your clients lose access to Kahunas, including the coach app and the client app, and it points you to Request a copy of my data first (help.kahunas.app, checked 11 November 2026). Request your data early, run both platforms side by side while you move, and cancel once your clients are in.
