Reels hooks for coaches

Coaches sell a change, so the best hooks name the moment before it: the thing your client says, believes or does right before they work with you.

Quick answer

Pick one line below, swap in your own words, and put it in the top third of the frame for the first 3 seconds. One idea, two short lines. Each group opens a matching template in the free maker.

Name what they're stuck on List template

You're not lazy, you're overwhelmed
Why you keep starting over every Monday
The real reason you can't say no
If you feel behind at 35, watch this
This is why your goals feel heavy

Say the thing they won't say POV template

POV: you're the strong friend and you're tired
Nobody tells you this about burnout
I used to think I needed more discipline
What I wish I knew before I quit my job
You don't need a new plan, you need this

My client said this on our first call
The question that changed her whole year

Making them work

Use your own words. These are starting points. The version that sounds like you, or quotes a real client, always beats the template line.
Match the hook to the first frame. If the line says "watch this", the first frame has to show it. A hook the video doesn't pay off loses people at second 4.
Keep it readable. White stacked pills (Classic) read over any footage. Bare text needs a calm background.
Stay out of the bottom. The caption and buttons cover the lower part of a Reel. See the Reels safe zone guide.
