My PT Hub vs CoachAccountable: Which is a better fit?

Shane B.: Hi, my name is Shane. I'm a CEO. For My PT Hub, I would give it four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, you can click the link below. So one of the other softwares I considered was Trainerize when I ended up going with My PT Hub. At the end of the day, the price point was the big differentiating factor for me, and so I ended up going with My PT Hub over Trainerize. I went with My PT Hub because it was a really all inclusive platform. One of the things that really appealed to me was the white labeling aspects of it. It was kind of important to me that my brand was facing forward to the clients, and it offered that. Not only that, it offered a white labeling app option as well to where you could truly take their app, but white label it with your own icon and fave icons. The platform itself as far as from a personal trainer standpoint is excellent. You could do meal plans, workout programs, everything within there. You could create different packages for clients and bundles. It just really was generally a good all inclusive package. Getting started with My PT Hub was relatively easy. They kind of walk you through the process. It's typical with most platforms, especially in the SaaS world as far as you have to put in your basic info, upload your images and such. But all in all, it was a pretty simple process on getting it integrated and getting it up and going. The app itself, if you wanted to white label the app, it did take a little bit longer, but the process wasn't really harder. It was just more of a time thing. All right, so if you're considering using My PT Hub, I would say definitely go give it a shot. It's an excellent platform. Nowadays, as you probably know if you're watching this video, the fitness industry is getting pretty heavily utilized on the internet, and My PT Hub really helps to bridge that gap between you and clients. I would use it for both virtual clients as well as in-person clients because I could push their workouts to them ahead of time, track their meal plans and everything else. So all in all, it's a great app for personal trainers.

Joy: Hi, my name is Joy. I'm a financial coach. There is one person in my company and I would give CoachAccountable a four. So before I was using CoachAccountable, I had Calendly for calendar management, I was taking payments either through Square or through PayPal, and I had not really a central location to be able to keep track of everything for clients. Some of the processes were manual and some things that I knew I needed to implement, I just hadn't implemented it yet because it was too many moving pieces to try to pull together from different apps. So I chose CoachAccountable because it was recommended to me by another coach, and she did a demo for me and just kind of let me see, behind the scenes, how she was using it. And she's also a financial coach so it was a very similar application, and she gave me some direction on how I could get it started, which definitely took some of the risk factor out. And also, I like that they have a 30-day free trial, which is longer than some softwares. It gives you some time to be able to see how you're actually going to be able to integrate it into your business processes. But I like the idea of having more of my things all in one place and being able to do things like assign action items or track metrics with my clients that I was just not able to do before, unless I was doing them manually. So getting started is a ton of information. They do a good job of documenting and having tutorial videos. And I got some good advice on the front end from my coach friend, which was basically to just set up what you need for the first week and then add things because I'm still not even scratching the surface of what I can do there. So it was a little bit not technically difficult, but just involved to get things configured on the front end. But again, there is really good documentation and I'm still finding new things that I haven't even integrated into my processes yet. Every once in a while, I'll go back and find another tutorial to go through and, "Oh, hey. I can go do this now." So if you're considering getting CoachAccountable, I would figure out what pieces of your process are the most critical to start with and just start setting up as simple as possible, whether that's your calendar appointments or whether that's a basic payment or something like that. Don't try to set up everything all at once. And then the other thing is just to pay attention to which users you have active. So when you have active users in CoachAccountable, they bill you based on however many users you have active on your billing date. So if you're like me, I get people who book an appointment, but maybe they don't continue with coaching. I don't want to be paying for that seat. They are really good about if you need to go in and clear people out of there. Their customer service has helped me out too. But just make sure that you're cleaning up your inactive people so that you're not paying for seats that you're not using.
