CACOMPANY IS A FRAUD AND A SCAM (THEY ARE NOT LOCATED IN THE USA, THEY ACTUALLY ARE LOCATED IN ISRAEL) The reviews below ARE FAKE AND ITS A SCAM, He creates Coachampions and they make you pay and then there are no clients. Then they RE-created this company (his name was Eric Levine, and Eric Bensoussan ). There is no address, no Instagram Facebook twitter account - don't give them any of your money - SCAMMERS FRAUDULENT COMPANY. There are no clients they are all lies! The company is in Tel Aviv Israel and is owned by SSC Services LTD. Be careful and do not sign-up, the coaches aren't officially certified nor are they professional. If you sign up to be a life coach, you will not get any clients and they will stop responding to you. You will lose a lot of money so be warned. They say their company is located somewhere in North America but that is a lie. It is based in Israel and they re-create theses business over and over again to scam people during COVID and who are truly suffering - don't suffer more by working with them or signing up. Stay safe and be cautious. SSC services creates and re-creates several coaching websites (Coach Elephants, Coachampions, Coacheroes, etc. - BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT TRUST)

GBTHEY DRAIN YOUR WALLET WITHOUT GETTING CLIENTS I've tried coachampions as both a client and a coach. Both experiences have been terrible. The most important: Once you complete their training, which you are required to pay for and complete prior to being listed, even if you're already a certified coach, they tell you that you'll be more likely to get clients and get paid $20 more per session if you take their "advanced training" which, again, costs several hundreds more. This "advanced training" is just practicing with other students and then the trainer gives feedback. You get 1 turn, and you can't interact in the chat, so that practice coaching session is your only opportunity to communicate with other students. As training, it is not worth the money. Since you won't get any actual paying clients with coachampions, it isn't worth the imaginary "raise" either. AFTER they have your money and have gotten your hopes up that you will get lots of clients from them, they tell you that you have to buy their "responsibility plan" for several hundreds of dollars in order to work on their platform, unless you already have your own liability insurance, which is quite pricey, especially if you don't have an established independent client base, in which case, you wouldn't even be seeking out a platform like this anyway. From the client side: I was presented the same 5 coach options over and over upon first signing up. They have no availability set in their calendars. After switching areas of coaching back and forth dozens of times, I finally got it to show a few more coaches, most of which also had no availability. There was no matching of types of coaches that was of any use for the area of coaching I picked, either. I finally booked a session, and made sure it was 2 days in advance so that the coach would have time to see I had booked it. But the zoom link asked for a passcode which was not given to me. I messaged the coach twice, once on the day I booked, and again at my session time, and got no response. There is no option to reschedule a session, only to cancel, and then go back through the arduous task of trying to find a coach that has availability listed again. You cannot read the entire profiles of coaches before (or even after) choosing one, as it cuts off after the third line. From the coach side: The calendar has very little functionality. Many times, it will clear my calendar while I am trying to set availability, and I have to start over from the beginning. There is an option to set recurring weekly availability, however you are unable to change a single day without cancelling all the others after it if you have another obligation one day. It does not have any options to connect to my Google account to block out availability automatically when I schedule other things, as most other platforms do. You can't set two sets of availability per day if you have an obligation in the middle of the day, so you can only give clients the option to schedule before or after it, but not both. Unless you keep your profile very short, it will likely get cut off and most of it left unable to be read by prospective clients. Additional issues: The recruiter I signed up to talk to stood me up twice when I tried to get information about joining. He told me that I could expect to do 5-10 discovery sessions per week once I signed up, if I listed plenty of available hours, and that I could expect to get 2 or 3 clients out of those each week until I built my client base. I got 1 in 2 weeks, who stood me up as well. He told me that I would receive internationally recognized credentialing from the training, and implied it was with ICF. I later found out it is with CPD, which isn't a coach credentialing organization at all. I was charged for a third payment when I signed up for a 2 installment payment plan, which took nearly 2 weeks to refund. Bottom line: The initial training may be worth it to someone who has no training at all. The advanced training is not worth the money. The requirement for the responsibility plan is not disclosed to you until you have already paid for and completed the training. Upon inspection of their plan pricing, they make almost no money from actual coaching sessions unless the coaches do NOT complete the advanced training prior to signing up with them. This just further proves they care only about making money from people paying for training they may not even need, and sometimes doesn't even provide them any actual benefit, along with their "responsibility plan" which does nothing since you'll never get an actual client, much less be at risk for one suing you or them. I would give 5 stars if they marketed simply as their initial coaching training without the platform for getting clients. These predatory and misleading business practices are shameful!!!

GBCoachampions promised me employment… Coachampions promised me employment after I certified with them for $1000.00. I certified and have never have had one client after repeated attempts to contact them. I don't want this to be a scam but it acts like it!

GBI enrolled with them in December I… I enrolled with them in December I scraped money together to get into their program with hopes of finding better job prospects and work from home. Almost at the end of the course we were offered an opportunity to enroll for another course so when getting on to their platform we would be advanced coaches. I scraped money together again to get in to the program upon completion I expressed my interest in working on their platform. I was then onboarded and have not booked any clients. I've sent emails expressing my disappointment with the processes and the fact that they told me at when they first approached me that I would be making money right away on their platform after enrolling for the program. I questioned that and didn't get any answers. I questioned the liability insurance as well (it was mentioned in training) I didn't get answers to that either. The company came across as money hungry because all they cared about was when the next installment is due, but never provided answers to questions I had raised. This company's practices in my opinion are highly unethical.To add salt to injury,I had one client who booked and they were a no-show.They are a bunch of scammers who over promise and never deliver.I think it’s fair to contact our banks and despute all charges as fraud because what they did is just that -fraud

CAI'm so disappointed I'm so disappointed. I was told by Alex the representent that coachampion was overbooked, there were so many clients that I would be booked really quickly. Reality is that one person signed up in 16 days. My problem is the lack of honesty because they promess something else. Very disappointed Don't enroll if you think you will be able to have a decent income.
