Practice.do Is Closing Its Doors -Here’s Why Coaches Are Turning to Zant
It’s been less than 12 hours since the coaching world began sharing the news: Practice.do is officially shutting down.
For many coaches, the past 12 hours have been filled with confusion and frustration. “I’m so busy I can’t stand it — and with literally no warning, the platform is closing,” one coach said, echoing what many are feeling. Some users were caught completely off guard, while others only received an email after the shutdown news had already swept through their communities. As the shock sets in, one question is echoing across group chats, forums, and Slack channels everywhere: Where do we go from here?

Practice.do’s Official Shutdown Announcement
“We’re writing today to share some unfortunate news. Our company was in the process of being acquired, but unfortunately, that acquisition has fallen through. Because we have been preparing for a transition, we are unable to pivot quickly enough to keep operations running independently and thus will be closing our doors.
We know this is abrupt, and our leadership team is truly sorry for the disruption this may cause you, your customers, and your business. This is not the outcome we had hoped for, and our team deeply regrets that we weren’t able to provide more notice or continuity.
Serving you over the last four years has been a privilege, and we want to thank you sincerely for your trust and support.
Next, we highly suggest that you export your Practice data at your earliest convenience. To export your data, please follow these steps:
- Access your settings: app.practice.do/settings
- Connect your Google Drive to Practice
- Navigate to your Google Drive integration
- Start the export process, and it will run in the background
If you have any questions or technical difficulties, please email us at [REDACTED]
With gratitude and regret,
Julien Smith, CEO & Co-Founder of Practice
