Your contract process is leaking
time, money, and trust.
Coachful turns the agreement from a chore into a finished step — done before the kickoff call, every time.
The old way
- Emailing PDFs and waiting days for a printed-scanned reply
- Half your clients ghost the agreement and start coaching unsigned
- Paying $30/mo for DocuSign on top of every other tool
- No idea who signed what, when, or which version
With Coachful- Auto-sent on enrollment, signed in 2 minutes, in-app
- Clients can't skip — agreement gates first session access
- Built into Coachful, $0 extra, unlimited templates and sends
- IP, timestamp, user agent and version locked to every signature
From "I'll send the contract later" to signed before the kickoff call.

Attach the template to a program
Each program can carry its own agreement. Different programs can use different templates — a monthly client membership doesn't need the same paperwork as your $5,000 12-week intensive.

Loved by the coaches
who actually use it.
"I tried running my coaching business across five different apps. It was a complete waste of time and money. Then I found Coachful. It was everything I need in one platform."
Christopher Duff
Founder, Duff X Athletics
"It's the coaching platform I always wanted — it just didn't exist yet. I have one dashboard for everything and already saved $1,300 by cancelling all the tech I had duct-taped together."

"Fantastic piece of software for coaches who want everything to be in one place. The Coachful team have been amazing at being on hand to help get everything set up. Would highly recommend!"

What it does
- Sends an agreement for e-signature as part of onboarding, before the first call.
- Stores the signed agreement on the client record next to the package and the sessions.
- Reuses templates so a new client gets the right agreement in one click.
Good to know
- It is not a general-purpose e-signature tool for documents unrelated to a client.
- It does not provide legal review of the agreement text; the coach supplies the template.

All your questions, answered
The eight things coaches ask before going paperless.
They open the agreement, read it, type their full legal name, tick the consent checkbox, and hit sign. No app to install, no DocuSign account, no third-party redirect. Most clients sign in under 2 minutes.
To your coaching programs. When a client enrolls in a program with an agreement template attached, Coachful auto-creates and sends the agreement. You set the template once per program, then it runs.
Typed signature name, consent checkbox text, signed-at timestamp, IP address, and user agent. Both you (pre-signed on template creation) and the client are bound. Plus a downloadable PDF of the signed document.
Yes. Use the rich HTML editor to write your own coaching agreement — scope of services, refund policy, confidentiality, cancellation terms, anything. Save unlimited templates per organization.
Yes. Once signed, both you and the client can download a PDF that includes the full agreement text, your pre-signed name, and the client's typed signature. Store it in your records, attach it to client files, share it with your accountant.
Already-signed agreements stay locked to the version the client signed. New enrollments get the updated template. No surprise rewrites of historical contracts.
In most jurisdictions, typed e-signatures with consent and audit trail (timestamp + IP + user agent) are legally binding under e-signature laws like the US ESIGN Act, EU eIDAS, and UK Electronic Communications Act. We're not lawyers — if you need a notarized or wet-signature contract, this isn't the right tool.
No. Coachful agreements are built natively. No external tool, no per-document pricing, no separate login for your clients. It's just part of your coaching platform.
Stop emailing PDFs. Start signing in-app.
Build your template once, attach it to every program, and watch clients sign before the first call. 7-day trial, cancel in one click.
Built for coaches who take their clients seriously
