Discover the success story of Coach Noble and how he used Fitbudd to significantly grow his fitness business.
“My clients believe I spent $50,000 building the app—it’s that good. But I didn’t even pay a setup fee. And anytime I message FitBudd, they get it done overnight.
We’re now working on our fourth and fifth apps, scaling to different niches without any extra complexity—just one email to the FitBudd team, and it’s done.”
Derek needed a reliable platform to manage online coaching, reduce admin work, and scale globally. With clients across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Mexico, Africa, and more, FitBudd became the operational backbone for delivering world-class results.
“I use a ton of FitBudd automations. I personally coach 115+ one-on-one clients and the only way that’s possible is because the platform handles the heavy lifting. From check-ins to progress tracking, it keeps everything organized so I can focus on delivering results.”
His entire growth strategy is built on client satisfaction and referrals, not paid ads. FitBudd played a crucial role in making that scalable.
“We’re projected to cross $1 million in gross revenue this year—with zero ad spend. FitBudd gave me the tools to build that with complete control, customization, and a brand presence my clients trust.”

At the roundtable, Derek emphasized:
Client Satisfaction First:
“We treat every client like a VIP. That drives referrals, and FitBudd gives us the infrastructure to deliver that high-touch service efficiently.”
Custom Automations:
“I use FitBudd’s check-in forms to offer referral incentives. At the end of each client’s weekly check-in, there’s a custom question asking, ‘Is there anyone you’d like to refer so we can change their life too?’ If they refer someone who signs up, I send them a $100 Amazon gift card. That one automation has brought in hundreds of new clients—completely organically.”
Team-Wide Consistency:
“I manage a team of 8 coaches, and FitBudd ensures everyone operates under the same high standards and systems.”
Retention Boost:
“The platform alerts me when clients are slipping. That proactive insight helps me retain clients longer and avoid cancellations.”
“With FitBudd, we’re not selling just workouts—we’re selling the experience. And the app allows us to deliver that, at scale, with zero compromise.”
“Don’t be afraid to give value away. Use FitBudd to create a high-quality experience, and then let your clients do the marketing for you.
Focus on service, automate smartly, and referrals will handle the rest.”
Derek’s journey proves that with the right systems, it’s possible to build a multi-six or even seven-figure business without ads, funnels, or burnout.
All you need is a rock-solid product, a platform that does the heavy lifting, and a service-first mindset.
