I absolutely love Kahunas for multiple…

I absolutely love Kahunas for multiple reasons. It’s got everything under one roof, keeps things simple and streamlined, and allows you to automate reminders for extra accountability. They also have a very personal touch. Any issues, I can hop on a call with the team right away for quick and detailed help, just like Shear has done for me whenever needed. 5-star service!

Full demo of App.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a full demo with Pam from Kahanus, and I must say it was an outstanding experience! The demo was brilliantly organised and provided a comprehensive overview of the platform's features and capabilities Pam's knowledge and enthusiasm were evident throughout, making the session not only informative but also engaging.

Onboarding Call

Great onboarding call with Shear @ Kahunas, answered all of my questions on client billing, YouTube link for my workouts, building workouts within the app and alternative client app registration when they don't have the email. Best support ever.

Shear did a great job by helping me out

I had some issues about launching a personal/branded app and couldn't figure it out myself. Even with the clear tutorial i still found a way to confuse myself and mess things up.. Luckily Shear helped me out via Google Meet with a step by step guide to get through the developer enrollment process with Apple and Google. Her explanations were clear, quick and pleasant to follow. Contact via email was also smooth and easy. If you are reading this Shear, thanks again!

An app riddle with bugs that never get resolved

Where do I even start with this company?

I’ve been using Kahunas for nearly five years—probably three years longer than I should have!

Why? Well, when you’ve built up a large number of clients, sometimes the devil you know seems better than the devil you don’t. But that all changed after my last interaction with them.

The app itself is a nightmare, riddled with bugs that never get fully resolved. The support team is quick to mark issues as “resolved” the moment they respond, even when nothing is actually fixed. After almost every update, the app becomes unstable and borderline unusable. I have hundreds of messages from frustrated clients complaining about constant issues, but there’s no point in passing them along—the owners and support team just don’t care. There’s a reason this app is the cheapest on the market by a mile, and this is exactly why.

For five years, I was promised features and improvements (I have emails to prove it) that never happened—always “in the works,” whatever that really means. Their Facebook group has been shut down twice due to complaints from coaches. Instead of addressing the problems, they just disabled comments to silence criticism.

As for the app’s features, don’t fall for the bells and whistles they advertise. Sure, they offer a lot on paper, but most of them either don’t work, are half-finished, or have been poorly implemented. They’ve been “fixing” the nutrition feature since it launched, and it’s still a complete mess.

We are now at a stage where the majority of clients are submitting check-ins but they are now coming through.

But the final straw? One of my clients had repeated issues—workouts not loading, nutrition not working, check-ins failing. Every time something was “fixed,” another issue popped up within a week. She eventually left, and I lost a paying client—$2,200 AUD gone. And what was Kahunas’ response? Blaming my client for not submitting the bug properly. Pretty hard to do that when the app itself isn’t working!

Their idea of compensation? One free month. As if that even comes close to covering my loss—it doesn’t even cover the commission I pay my coaches for new clients.

If you’re considering signing up with these guys, think twice. Just check any fitness professional group on Facebook and search “Kahunas”—you’ll see this isn’t an isolated experience.

Update;

Mark, please don’t claim that my client didn’t report this issue. I’m more than happy to share all the communications between your support team and Vicky, whom I assume is your wife or partner.

She reported the issue as often as possible, and I also reported it myself when the app wouldn’t allow her to do so due to loading issues.

I’d recommend checking the logs before placing blame elsewhere regarding how your support team handles bugs. I can also provide the numerous emails I’ve sent regarding your support team marking issues as resolved when they were not.

As for staying on, I will most definitely not be, I’ve already started transferring clients over to everfit and it’s levels above what kahunas offers

Hi Gary,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’re sorry to hear you feel this way. We know how important reliability is for coaches and we take that responsibility seriously.

I know you’ve been with us since November 2022, just over two years now. In that time, Kahunas has grown massively to over 9,000 coaches. While we’re proud of how far we’ve come, we know there’s always room for improvement. No software is perfect, bugs can and do happen and I’ll never deny that, but we are constantly refining, fixing and evolving, working directly with coaches to do so.

Our team is fully dedicated to improving performance and we’ve been actively investing in infrastructure upgrades, bug resolution and better support systems because we do care. Coaches have always been and will always be the driving force behind our business.

Regarding your concerns about communication, we’ve never silenced feedback. We openly encourage it because that’s what helps us improve. I’ve spoken about the Facebook group many times, it wasn’t closed to avoid feedback but because it wasn’t a structured support channel. If someone reports a bug, we want to ensure we’re aware of it and working directly with them to resolve it. Too often, posts in the group would go unnoticed or unanswered which isn’t the level of service we want to provide. Instead, we’ve heavily invested in our support team who consistently receive five star reviews so we can offer direct, live assistance rather than relying on comments in a Facebook thread. I appreciate that a minority may have been disappointed by the group’s closure but I made that decision to provide more personalised support and so far, it’s been a huge success.

We completely understand how frustrating it is to lose a client and that’s exactly why we’ve been prioritising deeper stability fixes and backend improvements. On this occasion, we didn’t receive a bug report from your client. I’m sure you can appreciate that if we’re not made aware of an issue we can’t fix it.

We never take a coach’s feedback lightly and whether you stay with us or move on, we genuinely appreciate the time you’ve spent with Kahunas.

Needed some more detailed support, i was encourage to book a call. Booked a time that suited me, and had all my questions answered and explained with walkthroughs etc. Shear from Kahunas was nothing but professional and accommodating. all in all a great experience.

Good from far , but far from good

I have been using this software for a while now and while it does have every feature needed to eg training , nutrition , check ins etc.
But none of them are done well , there are so many necessary features missing or the existing features don't work properly and the app is constantly crashing and clients lose all their tracking data.
Originally there was a facebook group for coaches using the app but this was obviously disabled due to coaches venting their frustration. I see advertising for this software which makes me think more money is put into that then actually making it a well functioning app that delivers what it promises.

Hey Tim,
I appreciate the honest feedback, and I’m genuinely sorry you’ve had this experience. Coaching should be seamless, and no coach should have to deal with crashes, lost data, or missing functionality. That’s not the norm, and it’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have.

While bugs can happen, we invest everything back into Kahunas to make it better; no shortcuts, no distractions, just a relentless focus on continuous improvement. From the feedback we’ve received from coaches, we’ve pulled back on flashy new features and prioritised major infrastructure upgrades. Above all else, our focus is on platform stability and reliability, so you and your clients have a seamless experience.

Later this year, we’re also launching an exclusive coach community inside Kahunas, giving you a direct space to share feedback and connect with others.

If there’s anything we can do to make things right, just reach out, we’re here to help and would love to resolve any outstanding issues. I appreciate you holding us accountable. We’re not here to just try and look good, we’re here to be great, and we’re committed to making that happen.

Thanks

So happy with Kahunas!

So happy with Kahunas!

I've been using this fitness app platform for over a year and a half now, and I couldn’t be happier with it! It has been an absolute game-changer for both me and my clients. Right now, I’m in the process of fully customising it with my own brand, so my clients will see my app rather than Kahunas.
A huge shoutout to Pam Sienes from the technical team, her support has been incredible! She has gone above and beyond to help me every step of the way, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without her. If you're looking for a reliable, customisable, and well-supported fitness platform, I highly recommend this one!

Extremely helpful!

First of all I loved Pam's energy and the way she presented the platform. She made it so easy to follow and gave me a great overview of where to start and how to get started. It made me super confident that this is the platform I will use even after my trail with Pam's help. it made such a difference. She is the best with so much knowledge.
