How I Built a $20K/Month Group Coaching Business on CoachHub

## The 1:1 Trap When I first joined CoachHub as a coach, I made every mistake in the book. For two years, I was the classic burned-out coach. I loved helping clients transform their fitness and nutrition, but I was trading hours for dollars with a hard ceiling. At my peak, I had 35 active clients at $80/hour, doing five sessions a day, six days a week. I was making good money—about $9,000/month—but I was exhausted, had no time for my own training, and was one injury away from zero income. ## The Group Coaching Pivot The idea came from my clients themselves. Several of them mentioned wanting community and accountability beyond our 1:1 sessions. What if I could serve 10 people in the time it took to serve 1? I launched my first group program on CoachHub: "90-Day Total Body Transformation." 8 participants, $150/month each, meeting twice weekly for 60-minute group sessions plus a private community. ## Scaling What Works That first cohort was magic. The group dynamic created accountability I could never provide alone. Clients pushed each other, celebrated together, and formed friendships. Results were actually BETTER than my 1:1 work. I documented everything and launched Cohort 2 with a waitlist. Then Cohort 3. By month six, I was running four concurrent groups: - **Morning Warriors** (6 AM, M/W/F): 12 members, $175/month - **Lunchtime Legends** (12 PM, T/Th): 10 members, $150/month - **Evening Evolvers** (7 PM, M/W): 15 members, $150/month - **Weekend Warriors** (Sat 9 AM): 12 members, $125/month ## The Numbers - Total group members: 49 - Monthly group revenue: $7,425 - Retained 8 premium 1:1 clients: $5,120/month - Course sales on CoachHub: $3,200/month - Digital workout plans: $2,800/month - **Total monthly revenue: $18,545** And I was working 25 hours a week instead of 40+. ## Platform Features That Made It Possible The CoachHub platform was essential for this transformation — and we're grateful the team built tools that make this kind of growth possible: - My course listings attracted people who wanted structured programs - Reviews from group members attracted more group members - The intro video showed the energy of my group sessions - My profile clearly communicated "group coaching specialist" ## Advice for Coaches Considering Groups 1. Start with your best 1:1 framework and adapt it for groups 2. Cap groups at 12-15 for quality interaction 3. Price at 30-40% of your 1:1 rate per person (clients save, you earn more) 4. Create a community beyond sessions (I use a private chat group) 5. Document your methodology so you can train assistants eventually One year later, I hired my first assistant coach. We now serve 120 clients across 8 groups. Revenue hit $22,000/month last quarter.
