75 Hard coach apparel revenue depends on three numbers: cohort size, completion rate, and margin per piece. With a Pro Shop, the coach holds zero inventory and earns on every order shipped. Realistic ranges run from $400 per cohort at the 10 person scale to $3,000+ per cohort at the 50 person scale. Coaches running 3-4 cohort cycles per year can clear $5,000-12,000 in apparel margin annually on top of any program fees. Here is the math broken down by cohort size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these projections realistic for a first-time coach?

Year one typically lands at 60-80 percent of these numbers as the coach builds reputation. Year two and beyond normalize.

What if cohort completion rate is lower than 70 percent?

Lower completion rate reduces finisher hoodie sales. Day one and mid-challenge pieces still sell normally.

Can I run more than 4 cohorts per year?

Some coaches run 6 cycles annually (every 8-10 weeks back to back). Revenue scales proportionally.

How do I increase per-piece margin past $10?

Raise retail prices above default. Default profit is $10, most coaches run $15-25 on premium pieces.
