The language of coaching continuity
The terms CoachBuk uses, defined plainly. If you have seen us talk about a fitness biography, the reset tax, or chapters and wondered exactly what we mean, this is the reference.
Continuity, defined
- Dormant fitness
- The state most training history falls into between coaches, gyms, and seasons: the data still exists somewhere, but it has lost the context that made it mean anything, so it sits unused until you start over. CoachBuk's purpose is the shift out of it, into coaching continuity.
- Coaching continuity
- The principle that your coaching history should survive the relationships, gyms, apps, and pauses that shaped it. It is the layer the fitness industry has left missing: a record that stays yours and stays legible over time.
- Fitness biography
- Your continuously building record of named chapters, session logs, and goals inside CoachBuk Wrapped. It grows as you log, and it belongs to you rather than to any single coach, gym, or app.
- The unbroken timeline
- A training history that holds together across coach switches, gym moves, and long breaks, instead of fragmenting into separate accounts. The thread from your first chapter to your current one stays intact.
- The reset tax
- The cost of starting over every time your fitness changes hands: a new coach with a blank intake form, a new gym with no context, a return after a pause where the app behaves as though the months before never happened. CoachBuk exists to remove it.
- Data tethering
- The common arrangement where your fitness history lives inside a provider's account, such as a coach's client management system or a gym's platform, and stops being available to you the moment the relationship or subscription ends. CoachBuk is built the other way around, so the record is yours first.
What CoachBuk measures
- Chapter
- A named season of training you author inside CoachBuk Wrapped, such as “Coming back after injury” or “Half marathon prep.” Your goals, session logs, and reflections belong to a chapter, so the same session can mean different things depending on the season it sits in.
- Match %
- How well a coach fits your goals. It is computed from the goal categories you choose and a coach's specialties: goal alignment, how they perform with similar client goals, and skills match. You pick the kinds of training that matter rather than spelling out one exact goal, so it works from your goals without needing any logged history, and shows once you have a few active goals.
- Session Impact
- How often a coach's sessions positively impact their clients' goals, based on verified session logs. A coach with fewer than three logged sessions reads “Building session data” rather than a number, so the proof is earned, never assumed.
See it in practice
These words describe one idea: your coaching history should belong to you and survive every coach, gym, and pause along the way.
