4.0

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.

Channell H.: Hi, I'm Channell, small business owner. I give FitSW a five out of five rating. For more reviews like this, click below. Before FitSW I tried Trainerize, but app didn't quite work for my growing business. I needed demos. I needed direct client contact. It just wasn't quite the level of customization that we were looking for to make sure that we were delivering custom programs, rather than cookie cutter programs to our clients. I chose FitSW because the customer service and the management was extremely responsive. After I started working with FitSW, I realized how amazing they were at delivering to our custom needs. As a newer company, we had a lot in common, and it was really fun to see them growing, and listening to the feedback from their small business customers. For us, it was really important that we could deliver customized value to our clients. We could provide exercise libraries. We could make sure that we were chatting with them in real time, and delivering the inspiration we wanted to. Getting started with FitSW was easy. The customer service was great, and I was able to get walked through all of the products, the features, and the offerings. They have great guides that allow you to figure out what you're doing, and communicate that to your customers. If you're considering using FitSW, I highly recommend that you download a free trial, and reach out. FitSW can connect you with businesses like mine, or you can use their standard version. FitSW does offer custom apps for small businesses, where you can work with their business partners, or you can work with them directly. No matter what you do, make sure that you reach out, send an email, and start a free trial.
