Exercise.com vs ABC Trainerize: Which is a better fit?

Mike: Mike, owner of Glory Combat Sports & Fitness in Tucson, Arizona. A little about our company, we are a startup company. I'm the founder with my wife and we'll be servicing two to 300 members and with the coaching team of about 10 employees doing Muay Thai, kickboxing, grappling, kids combat sports, strength and conditioning and boxing and Exercise.com has been great. I give them a rating out five stars, I give them a five. Being a founder of our startup company here, we were looking for a great software to use that really covered POS systems, calendars. Member communication is something that's very important to us. Member profiles, reporting, essentially we wanted a all-in-one software for our business and I have used other ones in the past being an upper management of companies such as Club OS, we had used DataTrak, I had used Trainerize myself, and we were looking at some other companies like Mindbody. And really after diligent research, after a few months talking with different reps, looking at what we'd used and what we'd done before, we felt that Exercise.com was the best value for what we were looking for. Some of the features that really led us to making the final decision was, I'll just say first off, their team is amazing. I think that the team, the customer service is a reflection of the business and I met with several companies and all were great, but I really felt like the sales team and then the software team with Exercise.com was super relational. They were very detailed, they were not salesy, they just presented what the value was and then the value was great. We got so much and price point, especially for any business in overhead is important and their price point was amazing for what we would get in comparison to some other companies. And of course, again, just the business side of having reporting, having the member database, being able to communicate with them, doing the schedules, app integration, the POS system, all these things really together led us to making that decision. Yeah, overall, after using many different systems for years, I feel like it was a pretty easy onboarding. They set you up with a rep, your team person, your go-to for the software and also for the app. So you have communication with them. They're very responsive in terms of getting back to you, forwarding information of sitting down and reviewing the systems with you and just continuing to be there by your side in the onboarding to make sure that you know exactly what needs to be done in a timely fashion. First advice I would do is just for your own peace of mind, do a comparison. I did that, I put a lot of software systems side by side, I met with different people, and in the end I feel like we would go back to Exercise.com again. We know it was a good decision. I'd also met with other company owners that were using software. I actually talked to quite a few people that I know using different softwares and so I would say I'd advise you to talk to other owners and see what they like about ones that are not Exercise.com but similar, and then anyone who is Exercise.com and obviously in these reviews that we will continue to use them.

Garrett: Hi, my name is Garrett. I'm a personal trainer. I give Trainerize a four out of five. And for more of reviews like this, click the link below. I considered using quite a few different ones anywhere from Nudge to FitBudd to PT Distinction, and the reason that I chose Trainerize was because it was recommended by a friend. I chose Trainerize because not only was it recommended by a friend, but I also liked the simplicity of the platform, as well as the way that you can grow your clients and scale it based on how much you're paying for the month, how many clients you have, and those sorts of things. Getting started with Trainerize was really easy. They have a lot of videos that explain exactly what you need to do to get set up and get your clients ready to go. Along with that, they have really easy to access members that help you set things up, and if you have any questions they're quick to answer. When considering using Trainerize, the biggest thing is just to think about what is most important to you. If you're looking for the ease of access to clients, if you're looking for a big exercise library that you can use to help your clients, if you're looking for nutrition, different things like that, all play a part in picking which software you would like to use. So in picking Trainerize, if you're looking for a big exercise base, if you're looking for quick access to team members that can help answer questions and really a simple platform for you and their clients to use, then Trainerize is a great pick.
