We launched Raelan

July 30, 2026 · Justin Hsieh

Raelan is live on the App Store. We’re honestly a little emotional getting to say that.

Why we built it

We didn’t come to this as software people who wandered into fitness. We came to it as coaches. For years we ran our own businesses on Trainerize, Kahunas, and a handful of other genuinely good apps. Every one of them was great at one part of the job and pretty much blind to the rest. The programming lived in one app. The calendar lived in another. Payments happened somewhere else, and a spreadsheet quietly held the whole thing together.

None of those tools were bad. They just stopped keeping up. The more clients we took on, the more little gaps we ended up filling by hand, late at night, for free. At some point you realize you’ve turned into the glue holding five apps together, and that is not why anyone gets into coaching.

So we built the thing we kept wishing existed. One place where the training, the client experience, and the business actually run together instead of just claiming to.

What’s in it

  • Unlimited clients. No per-seat fee, not now, not ever. Grow as fast as you can.
  • Programming that respects how you actually coach. Waves, deloads, warm-ups, a full exercise library, delivered as living programs that log themselves and catch every PR.
  • Scheduling that books, bills, and logs itself. Recurring sessions, group and semi-private slots, locations, and availability windows that just work.
  • Payments you don’t have to chase. Cards on file, autopay when a session finishes, packages and memberships, clean refunds, and payouts straight to your bank.
  • Progress that actually feels like progress. PRs the moment they happen, streaks, thirty-second check-ins, and assessments you can watch move over time.
  • Messaging that lives where the coaching does, including send-later messages so a nudge shows up at the right moment instead of whenever you happened to remember.
  • A client app your clients will actually love, so they become the ones asking you to switch.
  • Raelan AI for the busywork, never the coaching.

And right now, it’s free

Here’s the honest part. Raelan is completely free to use today. No membership, no locked features, nothing held back. We’ll add a membership eventually, but a few things are not going to change. Clients are always free. There’s no monthly software fee. And Raelan only makes money when you do, taking a small 5% when you actually get paid.

If you join while it’s free, you’re founding. The premium features you’re using right now stay free on your account for good, even once the membership shows up. That covers Google Calendar sync, tracking payments made by Zelle, cash, or check, send-later messages, and semi-private overlapping sessions. Here’s exactly what founding means.

We built Raelan because coaching deserves better than a pile of half-finished tools stitched together. Thanks for being here at the start. It means a lot.
