Why This Matters for Athletic Coaches

Athletic Coaches face unique challenges: Group vs 1-on-1 session pricing. Package tracking. Season scheduling. Client progress metrics. On top of all that, Mindbody charges $219/month ($2,628/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median athletic coach earns $45,000/year. Software at $2,628/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Training equipment is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

FAQ

Is Helix really a Mindbody replacement for athletic coaches?

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Mindbody is $219/month — that's $8,817 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Helix is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Helix doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.
