Your programming deserves a system,
not a Whatsapp group.

Can I publish recurring weekly programming schedules?

Yes. Tag any post with block: and add schedule metadata fields (training day, session type, rep scheme) in the editor's post settings panel. VeloCMS aggregates all block-tagged posts into a rolling 7-day programming calendar that your clients can bookmark. The same post also appears in your main blog feed — new visitors see your programming philosophy and active clients see their current week. You write the block once and it surfaces at the right cadence without a separate scheduling tool or a pinned Whatsapp message.

How do paid program PDFs and video courses work with BYOK Stripe?

In Admin → Settings → Membership, connect your Stripe account via a one-click OAuth flow. Once connected, you can mark any post, PDF file, or video series as members-only — either behind a recurring subscription or a one-time purchase product. When a client lands on gated content, they see a sign-up prompt that routes them to your Stripe checkout, returns them to your site on success, and grants access automatically. VeloCMS takes 0% platform fee. Stripe charges its standard 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction. The money flows directly to your Stripe account — VeloCMS never sees your revenue.

Why is Engineering the recommended theme for fitness coaches?

Fitness programming is structured data — sets, reps, RPE percentages, volume loads, percentage of one-rep max. The Engineering theme uses a monospaced numeric stack so 3×5@80% renders like a table entry rather than body text. Table blocks get tight row borders and alternating shading — perfect for a 12-week periodisation overview. The high-contrast dark surface and minimal chrome keep the focus on the content, not the UI. Coaches who publish programming explainers, technique breakdowns, and methodology essays find that Engineering communicates 'I know exactly what I'm doing' in a way that warmer lifestyle themes don't. It ships free on every plan and can be swapped in one click.

Can I migrate from TrainerCentral or Trainerize?

Yes, with some caveats. For client lists: both platforms export a CSV with name and email. Import that CSV via Admin → Members → Import — clients receive a magic-link welcome email and activate with one click, no password needed. For programming content: TrainerCentral and Trainerize store workout templates, exercise libraries, and check-in data in proprietary formats that don't export to Markdown or HTML. Your programming content starts fresh in VeloCMS, which is usually an improvement because you're now writing post-format programming with long-form explanation rather than just sets-and-reps tables in a client portal. For videos: re-upload to Cloudflare R2 via VeloCMS's file uploader.

How are client before/after photos handled with privacy?

Before/after photos are published as gallery posts marked members-only. Only clients with an active membership (paid via your Stripe account) can view the full gallery. Non-members see a preview card with a membership sign-up prompt. Photos are stored on Cloudflare R2 with no public URL guessable by pattern — each file URL is a unique opaque hash. You should still get explicit written consent from every client before publishing their images. VeloCMS's membership gate is a technical safeguard, not a substitute for consent. A 'client consent' tag on the post helps you track which galleries have documented approval.

Does VeloCMS take a cut of my paid programs?

No. VeloCMS charges 0% on membership revenue and paid program sales. You connect your own Stripe account in Admin → Settings → Membership, and Stripe charges its standard 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction directly. VeloCMS never sees your Stripe revenue — the money flows from the client's card to your Stripe account. Compare that to TrainerCentral's transaction fees on top of the $79/mo subscription, or Trainerize's percentage cut on any in-app purchases, and the savings for a coach running $2,000/mo in program sales are substantial — roughly $600–$900/year back in your pocket.

Can I publish weekly workout-of-the-week newsletter automatically?

Yes. Write a newsletter in the same TipTap editor you use for posts. Send to your full subscriber list or filter by membership tier — free subscribers get the public WOTW teaser, paid members get the full programming breakdown with sets, reps, and coaching cues. Newsletters go out via Resend, which has 99.9% delivery reliability compared to Instagram's algorithm-dependent reach. Set a recurring cadence reminder in your own workflow and send each Monday morning — clients who opted in see it in their inbox before they start their week, not whenever Instagram decides to surface your Reel.

Is VeloCMS suitable for solo coaches versus gym teams?

Both, though VeloCMS is designed first for solo coaches and small independent practices where the coach is the brand. On the Free and Pro plans, it's a single-author publishing platform with programming schedules, video hosting, and paid memberships. On the Business plan, you can add team members — a second coach, a nutrition collaborator, an admin assistant — and run a multi-author blog representing multiple coaches under one domain. Large gym operations with 20+ coaches, complex booking systems, and in-person payment terminals are better served by dedicated gym management software. A solo online coach with fifty clients, a twelve-week program product, and a weekly newsletter audience is exactly the use case VeloCMS was built around.
