Coach Paid Premium Pricing

Coach-paid Premium athlete fees are TrainingPeaks athlete Premium subscriptions paid for by your coach account.

We offer a coach-paid Premium athlete discount structure based on the number of Premium Athletes paid for by your billing group. Self-Paid Premium Athletes will not incur any additional fee and do not count towards this discount structure.

Number of Coach-Paid Premium Athletes	Discount
< 10	$9
10 - 19	$8.55 (5% discount)
20 - 49	$8.10 (10% discount)
50 - 99	$7.65 (15% discount)
100-199	$7.20 (20% discount)
200-499	$6.30 (30% discount)
500-999	$5.40 (40% discount)
1000+	$4.50 (50% discount)

Premium athlete fees for all members of the billing group are paid by the owner of the billing group on the first day of each month for the prior month's usage.

This discount structure begins its count after the included Premium athlete(s) for the billing group (I.e. you must have 10 Coach Paid Premium Athletes in your billing group to receive the 5% discount).
