PT Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for apple devices but clunky on android " December 29, 2022 3.0 Amazing but only if they match the snood and apple interfaces to be the same. Pros It’s so easy to use and setup a programme as well as monitor client adherence. It’s good value for money and as a trainer I found it great and easy to setup. Cons My android users had a different interface to me, I tried to explain how to use it and they struggled. Such a shame. Review Source Mercedes P. Fitness and Training Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trainerize is the best if you are a personal trainer" February 8, 2019 4.0 I am able to create programs fast for my clients. With this software, clients are able to get support from me in real time. Pros Easily drop in YouTube videos. Creating master programs is amazing because you can copy and customize templates easily. The mobile app seems to be easy for clients to use. I like the advanced progression capabilities, its easy to change reps and sets, and descriptions on one screen. Cons I am a climbing coach, so the layout of exercises and drills doesn't work as well in Trainerize since each drill needs more detail and some need extra video support. The customization of this could be better. The calendar feature could be better. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness July 4, 2019 Hey Mercedes! We are thrilled you like using Trainerize to create programs with our Master Programs feature! Thanks for your feedback regarding adding more detail to workouts and improving the calendar feature. Could you email us (help@trainerize.com) with more information on what you would like the features to look like? We would love to learn more! - Team Trainerize Rob Y. Co-Owner / Fitness Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Overall General Fitness Platform I have found" July 24, 2018 5.0 Overall extremely satisfied. We are very reliant on the Trainerize platform for our future coaching services. Pros It addresses most of the fitness programming and online coaching needs while allowing integration with other best in class platforms for an overall comprehensive system. (Still further to go, but the development team seems open to addressing these needs) Cons Well, it isn't perfect, and it isn't all things (but nothing is, so to be nit picky) The big items are: - the integrated pay system only allows one package or product, no add-on upsells to a pre-existing service - there is not an integrated scheduling system (yet) - we cannot assign Master program and a Custom program to a client Review Source Response from ABC Fitness June 21, 2019 Hey Rob! Thank you for your review and feedback! We are thrilled you think Trainerize is the best overall general fitness platform (we do too)! Having two products at the same time is something we are looking into adding to Trainerize Pay. We will let you know as soon as we do! - Team Trainerize VR Verified Reviewer Presient Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Trainerize is the best there is as of now for online personal trainers" March 8, 2022 4.0 Pros The exercises library is very extensive. It's very rare that we can't find what we need. Even then, we can add whatever exercise we need from an external source. Cons The ease of use on the client's side is not optimal. Often, we have to explain to clients certain functionalities. It is not as intuitive as it could be. Alternatives considered [PT Distinction](https://www.capterra.com/p/141155/PT-Distinction/) Reason for choosing ABC Trainerize Taking in consideration everything, this is the best online personal trainer software at the moment. It has more exercises, less bugs, better ease of use and much more than the competitors. Still, it's not perfect but they are constantly improving. Review Source Michael F. Owner, Head Personal Trainer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love the app and how it's growing and getting better month by month, year by year." October 26, 2017 5.0 \-Ability to save a lot of time, as well as store everything in one central place. -can now take on a much larger clientele base and train solely online - much better than old school excel spreadsheets and just simple email communication Pros Too many to type, but for sake of simplicity I'll pick the top three -Programs feature which allows you to store pre-made programs and copy them out, or add subscriber -groups feature, which is great for increasing social motivation and something special that the app offers -It's integration with new payments that has incorporated automation aspects that will allow us trainers to create a program and then simply "let it run" and not more work is needed on our end if we set it up properly; just need to collect the $$ Review Source Response from ABC Fitness June 10, 2019 Hey Michael! Wow - thank you SO much! We are so happy you love the app! The Master Programs feature and Trainerize Pay feature are some of our favourites too. Stay tuned for more exciting updates and features coming soon! - Team Trainerize JB Jorden B. Owner at Bodiesbybench.com Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trainerize has helped me build my online fitness business. I absolutely love it!" January 19, 2018 5.0 Trainerize allowed me to build my online personal training business and has helped me work from home and not in a gym. It has enabled me to work with more clients, get them better results and with less time and effort! Pros I have been using Trainerize for over 3 years. It has helped me build my business. Being a personal trainer my wife and I were able to move everything online vs in a gym. Freeing us to train more people and in less time. We can create programs, see the client's activity level, see how often they are working out. Trainerize also has a built-in messenger which is great since it is separated from our personal text messaging. I looked into and tried other programs similar to Trainerize but Trainerize, in my opinion, was so much better than the competition. Not to mention my ideas were heard on improvements to make and things to change. They are always coming out with updates and making things better. Cons I don't really have many complaints about Trainerize. Typically if I had a problem with the software or needed something to be done that it could not currently do, then the developers would work with me on making those improvements. It has been amazing to see the updates they have come out with since I started with them. They really want the user and client experience to be great and they want you to be successful! Review Source Response from ABC Fitness May 13, 2019 Hey Jorden! Thank you SO much! We are so excited Trainerize has helped you build your online fitness business and that you love our in-app messaging feature! Stay tuned for even more exciting updates! - Team Trainerize EW Erik W. Strength and conditioning coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workflow" February 8, 2019 4.0 Broken enough to do alot of really cool things the developers did not intend. They are constantly trying to get better and their customer service is top notch. Pros Data available. Once the system is learned it is very powerful Cons Workflow suffers. When training strictly online weight selection is tied for number one in importance with technique. Where you time is squander is with clients who have to have their weights added to guide them. They must be entered for every workout. We currently use our workout builder we have designed in excel to program the training and then have to transfer those numbers. We use a formula or boolean statement to process this. If trainerize could allow for weight percentages that are based of a weight we define and then define that percentage for each individual exercise your time per client will be cut in half. We haved used this program strictly online with high level athletes and your every day gym goers. The price per minute of your time is slightly over breaking even. I would love to talk more about how we use our builder and trainerize togther to help come up with a solution. Also there is no list of new exercises that are imported. I have filmed exercises only to see a month later trainerize has their own version. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness May 16, 2019 Hey Erik! Thank you so much for your review and feedback! Your idea regarding weight percentages sounds like a cool feature to have in Trainerize's future. Could you email help@trainerize.com with more details on how that would look? We can pass that on to the developers and they can get in touch with you if it is something they are going to add to Trainerize. Also thank you for your feedback on our customer service - made our day :) - Team Trainerize AF Ana F. Owner, trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes my life as a trainer 100x easier!" April 18, 2017 5.0 Helps me stay organized with programming and client communication. I can stay on top of all my clients without going nuts or spending too much time. Clients are always impressed with the professional structure Trainerize gives my business, and they love keeping track of how many workouts they've completed, receiving messages for their Personal Bests, etc. A simple feature that goes a long way in client retention! I can't say enough good things about Trainerize. In the 2 years I've been a customer, I've seen them listen to customer suggestions and put them into action. The app has grown and developed exponentially in 2 years, which makes me look forward to every update they make. If you're a trainer, and you're not using Trainerize, you're missing out on a system that will make you more efficient and professional with your programming and client connection. Pros Beautiful interface. Progress charts. Keeps track of clients' progress on specific lifts in specific workouts. Easy client communication. Cons I can't access my workout templates from the APP - I have to open a client's profile for that. I can't change/update training plans of multiple clients at once - having to go one by one is really time consuming. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness May 13, 2019 Wow - thank you SO much Ana! We appreciate your review and are so happy you love the Trainerize interface! Regarding having more functionality on the mobile app, I can definitely pass your feedback on to the development team for review! - Team Trainerize Che'Vonne B. Business Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Huge Help!!!" February 12, 2019 5.0 Pros I love that Trainerize is constantly improving. I've been using it since 2017, and love the constant updates that makes running my online fitness business much easier! I love that they have a great exercise library, and still add to it often. Cons It doesn't allow for other apps to run at the same time. When tracking a workout, if you leave the app to try to open a music app, the tracking stops. The timer should run in the background. Also, it crashes a lot. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness July 31, 2020 Hi, Che'Vonne! Wow! We are so happy that you enjoy the App and that it helped you to streamline your business! Good News! We are in the process of releasing a brand new version of the app (we invested over a year in rebuilding it from the ground up) that is going to improve the performance and overall stability of the app! Plus, stay tuned for more exciting updates! :) - Team Trainerize Jordan J. P. Fitness Center Brand Ambassador Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "No Overhead Cost; Train Clients on Phone" November 22, 2019 4.0 I am able to build my business with my phone. I train multiple clients at once. Tracking is in one place & easy to refer to. Pros This is a low overhead cost for me. I can train clients from anywhere; without renting time/space out at a gym. I find extreme value for my money as I can train multiple people at once. Trainerize keeps client messaging solely on the app. This does not mix in with my personal text messaging. Cons I need to upload multiple meal plans for a client. A client has a low carbohydrate/high protein day followed by a carbohydrate loaded day. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness July 2, 2020 Hey Jordan, Wow - thank you SO much! We are so happy to hear that Trainerize transformed your fitness business. We are also thrilled that Trainerize has allowed you to offer a more complete and comprehensive fitness solution to your business. In regards to multiple meal plans option, it does sound like a good idea to have in Trainerize's future. We will definitely pass your feedback on to the development team for review. - Team Trainerize Kevin H. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product" February 8, 2019 5.0 I used to use google sheets which had to be manually entered on by the client and I wouldn't be able to visualize progress as well as now. I love that Trainerize automatically loads the nutrition information, tells me when my clients are getting their workouts done, is an easy to use instant messenger, and graphs the clients progress while also allowing easy access to progress photos. Pros I love how I'm able to visually see the progress my clients are making, easily check the macros that they are hitting while the app links to MyFitnessPal, and deliver workout programs that my clients can access Cons Sometimes it gets buggy and the nutrition changes do not load for my clients. And also some of my clients report having difficulty with notifications and/or receiving messages Review Source Response from ABC Fitness September 10, 2020 Hey Kevin! Thanks for submitting your feedback! We're so glad that you LOVE the ease of navigating with the App and that it is helping you to track your client's success! In regards to the issues, you are experiencing with the report tool, can you reach out to us at help@trainerize.com. Our team will be happy to help! Thanks for being with us all these years! Ps: Stay tuned for more exciting updates! - Team Trainerize :) Jake P. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Your one stop shop" November 19, 2022 4.0 Highly recommend this to any trainer who not only wants to impress their clients, but simplify their coaching experience. Pros I love trainerize. It has really simplified the coaching experience with my clients on the gym floor and remotely. Cons I struggle to understand why updates take a long time to produce. Alternatives considered [Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/) Reason for choosing ABC Trainerize It presents better UI than other software and has more intergrations. Review Source JM Jennifer M. Transformation Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Fitness App" July 9, 2020 5.0 Very easy and enjoyable to use. Has everything I need to track and communicate with clients in one easy spot. Pros So many things! I love the way you can build workouts and easily implement then into clients plans. Love that it tracks your progress from workout to workout. Also love that it graphs body weight, stats, has pictures, steps, habits and even a meal plan option. I seriously can go on and on about the app :) Cons I wish that there was a notes section by each exercise so you can add in a lil something about that exercise. Like if you used dumbbells or cables. Also when messaging it would be great if there was a send button and that the messages didn't send by hitting enter. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness July 29, 2020 Hey Jennifer! WOW - thank you so much for your review and kind words! We're thrilled to know that you like the Trainerize app and the ease of building workouts for your clients. Your idea of adding a note section for exercises, sounds like a cool feature to have in Trainerize's future. Could you email help@trainerize.com with more details on how that would look? We can pass that on to the developers and they can get in touch with you if it is something they are going to add to Trainerize. - Team Trainerize YG Yesenia G. Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for workout programs. Needs improvement for nutrition." February 9, 2019 5.0 Customer service is very responsive but when I ask questions about the items I listed above for improvement they always promise the changes are coming soon however I have yet to see any of the changes they promised months ago. Pros This software is great to write workout programs. There are great demo videos for clients and the option to import videos from YouTube is very useful. The charts showing my clients' progress are great snapshots that help me keep my clients' progressing towards their goals. Cons What I like least about this software is the lack of weekly averages for weigh-ins and weekly averages for calories and macros. Right now I am hand-calculating both of those and it's a lot of extra work. The second thing would be to make the timer automatically start counting down upon the completion of an exercise. This is a feature that my clients love from other apps and miss in this app. The ability to make edits to clients' programming via the mobile app is almost nil. I always have to get on a computer to change anything which can be a hassle when I'm on the go. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness June 10, 2019 Hey Yesenia! Thank you for your review and feedback! We are so happy Trainerize helps you keep track of your clients progress towards their goals! We are always listening and taking trainers feedback and suggestions into account, however we do have a roadmap in which these are prioritize and that sometimes it is hard to get exact timelines for product changes that are months ahead. With this being said, we encourage you to vote on suggestions at ideas.trainerize.com, our product team is prioritizing based on all suggestions. PS: The timer countdown is in the works. We'll share more information in the next few months. Thanks for your feedback and confidence. - Team Trainerize BR Bethany R. Personal Trainer Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I could take it or leave it." July 26, 2022 3.0 I ended up swapping to a software I found easier to use. Pros The app makes it easy to connect with clients where ever and whenever. Additionally, it makes programming and tracking workouts easy. Cons I found many of the pre-recorded exercises weren't what I was looking for in terms of form and the programming aspect to be cumbersome when wanting to edit single workouts. Review Source TJ Tiffany J. Hr Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for a start up Trainer" September 12, 2018 4.0 It was great at the beginning until we grew, then the value of the software for our number of clients wasn't competitive enough with other solutions. Pros Trainerize was great for us in the beginning with less volume of clients. It gave us the ability to upload our meal plans and build workouts. I love that it has workout videos and exercises loaded into the app for when you need some inspiration for new client workouts. Cons It was a bit outdated compared to other training apps I have seen. Only allowed for one meal plan upload at a time and was always in a document format. Would love to see this software integrate with a meal plan building software. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness December 2, 2019 Hi Tiffany, thank you for taking the time to review our software! We're happy to hear you found inspiration from our exercise library, we have since added many more exercises! As for nutrition and meal planning, we do have plans to release more options for you in the future. Currently, we integrate with Evolution Nutrition if you're looking to get your meal plans built out. We also calculate client BMR and TDEE for you to help you create a client's daily caloric intake when assigning a nutrition goal. Please feel free to reach out anytime if there is anything we can help you with! We'd be happy to help you scale your business by helping you incorporate our Master Programs feature to automate the delivery of workouts to your clients. - Team Trainerize GM Garrett M. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good at most things, lacking in a few key things. " January 14, 2023 4.0 It was good. I ended up switching but I liked it while I used it. Pros I actually really liked the mobile app. Super well done and easy to communicate with clients on the go. Cons It’s not super smooth. The interface is a little clunky for users and could be a lot more simple and sleek. Alternatives considered [FitBudd](https://www.capterra.com/p/227564/FitBudd/) Reason for choosing ABC Trainerize At first it was cheaper. I wanted my own app and switched away from it to get that at a cheaper price. Review Source DM Daniel M. Business Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I really like it. I tried PT distinction for awhile but didn't like it. It fits my style of program" October 24, 2017 4.0 Easy client management - I run my entire business using this software and Facebook. Pros I like that you keep updating it and making it better so that it stays in line with your competitors. Cons I'm struggling to think of something. I think you changed it so that now I have to use the calendar to copy a programme from a current client to a profile which I am currently logged into......... but in the past there was an option to do this in the clients 'training programme' section. I'd like to have that back. (I think you can only add a brand new programme now when in the training section) I'd also like to be able to schedule messages to people so that on day x they'll recieve a message. I know there is an option to do a few of these at the beginning but I'd like to be able to schedule a lot of these running over the course of a 6 month programme. A bit like PT distinction and also another software called coachcatalyst (previously habitcatalyst) Review Source Response from ABC Fitness May 29, 2019 Hey Daniel! Thank you for your review and feedback! We are so happy Trainerize fits your style of programming! Good news, we now have program auto messaging! You can set up auto messages in your clients programs for specific days. Feel free to check out help.trainerize.com for more info! - Team Trainerize EY Essence Y.

October 27, 2022 4.0 Pros I like how you can request features on the site and customer service does respond in a timely manner. Cons Trainerize can be integrated with Stripe, but they don't allow you to pause payments for customers. This is a feature that Stripe allows, but Trainerize Pay (Stripe-integrated) hasn't included that feature. This was something that coaches have requested to be included, since many clients get sick or go on vacation and want to resume at a later time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good solution either you are a PT, Gym or Studio Owner" August 10, 2023 5.0 Trainerize has all the features you need to manage a fitness business from the start, but in the long run it can become pricy. Pros With Trainerize we have a wide range of features that allows to manage clients, workout plans. habits, a several other metrics either being a single PT, gym owner or boutique studio. The delivery automations are a plus to alow scaling, and the branded app addon is quite inexpensive. Cons The pricing can become a bit high in the beginning if you need several paid addons such as integration of payments wich give us a fee on top of the processors fee, on demand video coaching , Advanced nutrition and branded app. Also is only available in English. Review Source AH Ashley H. CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My go-to software" September 3, 2021 5.0 Pros What I like the most about Trainerize is their long list of features (that are continually being updated) as well as their customer support, more specifically the chat feature. It's nice to be able to talk to an actual human and their follow up game is on POINT! Cons What I dislike the most about Trainerize is ease of use. It is extremely difficult to navigate, especially when you're just setting it up. But i've been using this platform for years and I still have a hard time navigating some features like the client food logs. There are so many features but unfortunately they are difficult or unclear to access.

Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keeps on getting better and better!" June 18, 2022 5.0 Of all the Personal Training softwares out there that I’ve tried, I gotta say that Trainerize has been the best in terms of price, free trial, customer service, the amount of features and a VERY beautiful and easy manageable app compare to others! Pros That Trainerize keeps on adding new stuff, improving their features, suer friendly, and always make sure to be 1-2 steps ahead of the competition! Cons Nothing in particular that I can come up with. I feel as soon as I felt I was missing something, they were releasing shortly after. Review Source Janis T. Online Personal Trainer, President and CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love This App" February 12, 2019 5.0 Love using this app with my clients. My clients like it as well. Pros The app is easy to use for my clients. Workouts are easy to set up. Trainerize is always trying to update the app and make things easier for the trainer. Cons They did change how to upload your personal YouTube videos. Now you need the URL, where before you could check a box and it would upload. Used to be easier.

As a Fit Pro for over 32 years I am thrilled with the success my clients have achieved as a result of having access to workouts 24-7! I am not only thrilled with their results but applaud the efforts of Trainerize and their constant updates and changes to make the program more supportive to our clients needs and also the rapidly changing science and technology that the fitness industry presents to us personal trainers. When I started with the program the capability of using many wearable technology was minimal. Not only has Trainerize embraced that portion of the industry but is constantly evolving in supporting my business making it easy to manage from the sales and marketing standpoint. Kudos to Trainerize! Thrilled with your product and support. Pros I love everything about the App. From my management of the business to what my clients are able to use when training. Cons My only complaint is to make using the Zappa easier. I've had a difficult time connecting all the systems together and stopped using them all Together.
