Make your coaching app with BDK

Cut missed sessions and keep members on the program. Your coaching app becomes an iOS and Android app where members book a slot on their phone's own picker, follow your exercise videos, send progress photos from a check-in and get a reminder before they train. The program and the member relationship stay yours.

Notification permission

Ask about session reminders once a member has booked, when the reason is on screen.

  • Explain how reminders keep members on their program.
  • Skip the prompt for members who only browse the plan.
  • Open the phone's notification settings from the member's training preferences.

All features are included when you request a build with BDK. See pricing

What you set up

  • Your Apple Developer and Google Play accounts.
  • Your own Firebase project's service-account key and a OneSignal app, for push.
  • Branch or Chottulink, if you want links that open the app.
  • Enable the health types you need and request access before reading them (iOS).

Where your web app stays in charge

  • Programs, bookings, member logins and coaching records stay yours.
  • Physical goods and services keep web checkout where allowed; digital goods use store billing where required.
  • Web updates go live without a rebuild when they use capabilities already in the app.
Do I need health access for coaching?

No. Videos, bookings and progress photos can carry the experience.

Can every member share step data?

Only on iOS builds with health enabled. Check the reported capability first.

Does an empty health result mean no activity?

No. On iOS, denied read access can also come back empty.
