Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Trainerize for Online Coaching and In-Person Training" February 8, 2019 5.0 I used to use google sheets to write my clients workouts and track. But Trainerize is so much more professional looking and is just as easy, if not easier, to use. If you're stalling due to pricing, stop being cheap. I was in the same boat and finally made the decision to just pay the monthly fee to use. You lose out on a few bucks but if you can provide a great experience for your clients, it's worth it. Plus, you should consider charging the clients for the use of the program if you aren't already. Pros I love the ability to upload my own workout videos for my clients to use and the ability to create custom workout programs and templates. I've recently started to use the "workout progression" function as well which is pretty cool. I also love the ability to compare my client's workouts from week to week and review their progress graph on certain lifts. Cons I wish we could add drop set options to the workouts, but it's not that big of a deal. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness September 9, 2020 Hi Sy! Thank you so much for your feedback! We love to know that you like the ease of creating programs for your clients, and our progression tool as well. Good news! We will be integrating new workout features soon. Send us any suggestions at help@trainerize.com Stay tuned :) - Team Trainerize PW Paul W. Personal Trainer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall good, Had many issues over last 12 months with program constantly crashing." April 30, 2018 3.0 Pros The functionality of the program. The ease of use. Ability to create full training programs including the ability to schedule up weeks in advance. Cons Doesn't work as well on Android compared to iPhone. The older the phone to worse the program performs. I've tried two Android phones now both of the same age and Trainerize performance is decreasing. - Samsung S5- App constanly crashes -Motorolla - App is slow I'm not in a position at the moment to get a new phone so I just have to persevere with it. Can't record 'Drop Sets' Need to include a complete nutrition section not out source it to another company that then has it's own fees. Check out what Virtuagym have done. When I substitute an exercise for one that I've done before it will only show 3 sets option even if I know I've done 4 sets before and it won't display the previous weights recorded. I always have to add the extra set and check the history to see what was recorded. This doesn't happen on the iPhone. Review Source PW Pete W. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If You Want to Scale Your Fitness Business, This is the Way to Go!" February 8, 2019 5.0 Pros I like the ease of use, and how it allows me to keep tabs on dozens of clients at once. The morning reports indicate who's following the program laid out for them, and who's not. The automatic messages it has enable me to do simple things like wishing my clients a happy birthday, and holding them accountable when I don't. Can't recommend this app highly enough! Cons One thing I would like for Trainerize to enable is to have a preview of what each workout you create entails. Over the years I've used it, I've come up with hundreds of workouts, and sometimes I forget which exercise are in each. Depending on the client, I'll sometimes have to flip through several workouts before finding one that's varied enough in comparison to what else they're doing that week, and is at the appropriate level. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness June 5, 2019 Hey Pete! Thank you so much! We are happy Trainerize allows you to keep tabs on all your clients in an easy and efficient way! We will definitely pass your feedback regarding workout previews on to the development team for review. - Team Trainerize BS Brittany S. Owner/Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, Quick, EFFECTIVE " April 24, 2017 5.0 Trainerize has helped my business grow, along with helping my clients see quicker results. I run a personal training studio and online personal training business. My clients see fast results due to the "easy-to-use" Trainerize app. This app has progressed and is staying up to date with the latest software techniques and training techniques. It's so easy to communicate with my clients and build workouts for them. They all LOVE it! Highly recommended Software. We have been using Trainerize for nearly 2 years now and our business has quadrupled income since. Pros Easy to use, I can build workouts in NO time! Cons I wish there was a way to build and sell pre made programs Review Source Response from ABC Fitness July 4, 2019 Hey Brittany! Wow - that is amazing! Congrats on growing your fitness business. We are so happy your clients love using Trainerize! Did you know you can now build and sell programs using Trainerize Pay? Feel free to check it out along with our pre-built programs in the Trainerize Content Libraries :) - Team Trainerize McKenna G. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Personal Thoughts" July 27, 2018 4.0 My clients give me great feedback on this! They love how there are video's to follow for workouts, and the layout of the app is very helpful to them. I also love how quick I'm able to make adjustments. It's a very quick and efficient software! Pros I love the flow this software gives when writing out workouts. It's very beneficial to have YouTube as a back-up for videos. I also like the option to add notes when needed. The ability to customize workouts and keep track of past workouts for each client is very helpful. The check-in's with pictures and measurements are very easy to read and compare. Cons I wish it had a nutrition feature to this program. It forces me to use another software instead of staying in one place. I also think that the cost is more on the high-end. Review Source Kelly P. Personal Trainer, Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Trainerize is a fantastic tool for Personal Trainers!" September 30, 2019 5.0 I’m so glad I went with trainerize for my online and in-person training and coaching business, it’s a great tool and the pricing is very reasonable. Would definitely recommend! Pros This is a platform that is committed to listening to their users and providing the best experience, not just for trainers but clients as well! They continually poll for new features and deliver on their promises to continually improve the app! Cons I don’t have a specific issue with the software but more issues with connectivity that cause the app to freeze when I’m at home, it works fine when my connection is good ! Review Source Maria C. Certified Personal Trainer Online Coach Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome app that makes running my online personal training business a breeze. My clients love it" May 3, 2018 5.0 It gives me a quality product to let me run a very successful online personal training business. Pros Very user friendly. Love the fact that I can add my own videos specific to my clients needs. Can change clients programs on my phone and do not have to log into my computer. So this makes things super fast and efficient service for my clients. Cons When I ran a promo I have several clients in a group training package. But then at the end when I took them off that group it deleted the programs that they had previously done so I could ensure I wasn't repeating their workouts. Review Source BK Brianna K. Nutrition Coach, Personal Trainer, Business Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very convenient for a personal trainer looking to easily manage clients" November 15, 2022 5.0 Overall, I am really happy with the software. I use it through a studio I work for and I plan on using it for my own business soon. Pros App that offers a lot of great features; progress tracking made easy, communication with clients made easy as well as adding habits and small things that overall contribute to a client's experience while working with someone Cons The Android version of the app is terrible. It's slow, it doesn't always send notifications, some features are missing. I feel like in 2023 almost these things shouldn't be happening between Android and Apple users.I also wish there was a possibility to integrate not only with MyFitnessPal or Apple Watch but others like Cronometer for nutrition or Garmin/FitBit for trackers. Review Source Kathy P. CEO/Owner @KathyProFitness Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best online training app! " July 24, 2018 5.0 My clients are loving the ease of using this app. It even works with my less tech savvy clients. Pros It’s user friendly for both the trainer and the client. My clients are telling me regularly how much they love using this app. I’ve tried other options out there but this had everything I needed with setting up my clients and helping them succeed. They love working in their group through Trainerize and seeing that the other clients are working out and hitting PBS helps motivate them to keep pushing when they don’t feel like it. Cons I’ve had a few clients ask about linking their fitness tracking devices other than Fitbit to the system as it’s not an option yet. We sent a request through and I’m sure it will be soon enough! Review Source NN Natalie N. Owner/Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "They’ve really upped their game!" February 1, 2019 4.0 They have big plans for Trainerize’s future. They aren’t perfect, but they continue to make leaps and bounds with their software. I’ve been with them since 2014, so I know they are continuously working hard to give us an amazing product. Pros I’ve been with Trainerize since 2014. They’ve come along ways since the beginning. I have full faith that they will continue to improve their product. Cons There is no offline tracking. Last time I checked, I cannot make a customized (master) program via app. To use the software properly you HAVE to use BOTH a computer (desktop website) and the app. It’s near impossible to use the desktop website on a tablet or phone. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness November 20, 2019 Hey Natalie! Thank you for taking the time to review us and provide feedback! It's great to see you've been with us all this time and recognize that we always have and will continue to strive to make Trainerize better for our customers. We appreciate your feedback regarding offline tracking, we've brought this up with our Development Team and will let you know if we make any changes in the future. Stay tuned for more exciting releases and updates :) - Team Trainerize VR Verified Reviewer Fitness Consultant / Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best one on the market but not perfect" February 12, 2019 5.0 Pros App videos make it easy for clients to use and communicate with you. Cons The backend of figuring out some of where the workouts are is confusing at times. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness August 7, 2020 Hey! Thanks for submitting your feedback! We are happy that you are enjoying the ease of navigating with the App. Good news, our marketing team is currently working on some great "how-to" and educational videos that will be coming out soon! Stay tuned for exciting updates. - Team Trainerize GS Gord S. Head Trainer and Endurance Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Happy Trainer" November 21, 2023 5.0 I loved using Trainerize. It has been a key tool for my business and allows many parts of it it be automatic. Pros Trainerize allows me to create programs and monitor the success of my clients with ease and from the palm of my hand. Cons The increasing cost for varying numbers of clients can be a little frustrating. I guess if business is good, Review Source Shannon Y. Owner/Fitness Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Platform for our Online Training " February 1, 2019 5.0 Our experience has been fantastic, again we are very happy with this platform and appreciate their continued support and growth. Pros The ease of use, we've been using Trainerize for over 4 years and are very satisfied with the product and support. Cons If they never took suggestions to make changes I would have something, but Trainerize listens to their customers and are always making progress to make it better. Review Source KM Karla M. Owner/Master Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The good and the bad." June 9, 2020 4.0 It is decent but always keeping my eye open for someone that offers the features I mentioned which are key. Pros It was somewhat easy to navigate and had good customer service. Cons NO group reporting for the challenge groups and no live training features in the app Alternatives considered [PT Distinction](https://www.capterra.com/p/141155/PT-Distinction/)[My PT Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/146651/My-PT-Hub/) Reason for choosing ABC Trainerize More features for the price and customer service. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness June 19, 2020 Hi Karla, Thank you so much for your review and feedback! We are so happy you like the ease of navigating with Trainerize and our Customer Service as well! Good news! We are currently in the process of developing an in-app live-streaming workout feature many more exciting things! (habits, workout of the day, appointments) Stay tuned! :) - Team Trainerize JT Jackie T. President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good option, but quite expensive for group training. " September 1, 2022 4.0 Ok experience. I think there's still much to improve in terms of library content and app experience. Pros The possibility to make your own branded app. Possibility to have automatic payments. Cons The fact there is a separate charge for setting up the card payments and limited exercise library. Switched from [TrueCoach](https://www.capterra.com/p/155784/truecoach/) I wanted a branded app. Review Source Lance J. Certified Personal Trainer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great app. Able to communicate and see what all my clients are doing." November 1, 2017 5.0 Able to manage and coach personal training clients with ease and from a remote location. Pros Sends notifications when clients do anything. Easy to communicate and message with them. Able to see what they are all doing. Able to check in and take them through workouts. Cons Would be nice to be able to edit workouts within the app, so I can make changes when needed instead of waiting to get to a computer. Review Source Karen P. NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist (NASM CES) Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Trainerize review" February 1, 2019 5.0 My goal is to have an online training portion of my business where I use this software to train clients miles away. While I'm building that, Trainerize has allowed me to give additional value to my in-person clients by setting up workouts for them when they can't come to me. I'd say the Trainerize has opened new doors for me as far as what I can offer my clients. I know there is potential I haven't tapped into yet as far as setting up automatic payments and creating programs clients can subscribe to. Pros I really like that I can upload my own videos. I also like that there are already videos included in the software to use while I continue building my own library. The ease of incorporating YouTube links in the software is also a plus. Cons It took me a little while to figure out how to use it. Review Source Gail B. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Software Program for personal trainers" December 4, 2018 5.0 Pros I love Trainerize, the app allows you to send workouts directly to clients and alerts you when they have completed them. They also highlight you as a trainer to anyone looking for personal trainers in your area! Cons The only downside which they have now fixed was only having Paypal as an integrated payment option. Unfortunately, I had to merge my business into another software program prior to the change but I still use Trainerize to setup and send programs to my clients and I recommend it to all my trainers and coaches. Review Source CR Carwin R. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Seems to be made for Trainers and Clients by Trainers and Clients!" April 18, 2017 5.0 I've been using Trainerize since 2012 or 2013 and the app has been detrimental to my growth as a trainer and as a business. Even at corporate gyms before I was independently training I used the app to give my services more value and sale more at my respective clubs. The best thing about the trainerize app is it constantly updates to better serve the trainer and be more convenient for the client. Anytime I have an issue I can email or call and get a response in a timely manner to have the issue resolved. I'm very pleased with the app and don't know how I would be able to give my clients so much of their needed attention or make each client feel like they are my only client had I not found this app. Pros Constantly updated to better serve the trainer and client. Best feature has to be the push notifications/reminders. Cons I want to access workout templates and assign workouts to training plans from my phone. I know this feature is soon to come. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness June 5, 2019 Hey Carwin! Wow - thank you so much! We are so happy Trainerize has allowed you to grow your training business! Stay tuned for the new version of the Trainerize app coming this Fall :) - Team Trainerize BL Bladimir L. Certified personal trainer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "As a trainer, I've used this service for nearly 4 years now, and I must say that I have no regrets!" May 1, 2018 5.0 Pros The fact that it contributed greatly in allowing me to expand my clientele and the way I track my client's progress. With the click of a button, I can go back and see how my clients are advancing. It's also great that they provide multiple means to track progress; such as body fat, pictures, and tape measurements. Once my client downloads the app, they will be able to see their progress, receive workouts and meal plans, and communicate with me through its built in messaging. I truly love this app and it's services. Cons What I like least about the software is that I am not able to print out a client's progress the same way I could their workouts,that is the only bummer that I have against it. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness June 10, 2019 Hey Bladimir! Thank you for your review! We are so happy Trainerize has allowed you to expand your clientele! In regards to printing progress, that 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 KD Kelly D. Self employed personal trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool" February 17, 2019 4.0 Overall I'm very pleased with this app. I like that it allows me to automate my online client workouts!! Ive looked at other apps but this one still seems the best for me! Pros I like the ease of uploading my own videos, my clients find it easy to use and easy to follow. I like that I can design programs for program templates. I like that it appears that this is my app Cons It is a bit pricey, I can't see exact meals my clients are having. I would like to be able to respond to check - ins using my apple watch for instant correspondence. It would also be nice to have a back office for trainers to have bookkeeping even if we dont use the stripe app that is actually very expensive for me to use. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness June 21, 2019 Hey Kelly! Thank you for your review! We are so happy your clients find Trainerize easy to use and follow. Did you know if your clients track meals with the Fitbit app you can see their meals? They don't need a Fitbit wearable and the app is free! Feel free to email help@trainerize.com if you have any questions about how to set that up! - Team Trainerize VR Verified Reviewer Founder - Certified Nutrition & Wellness Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Saves me so much time!!" February 5, 2019 5.0 Overall, this software is wonderful!! It's radically changed the ease of delivery of exercise programs and given my clients a fun way to experience community that isn't isolated to facebook or something similar. Pros \- Once you get the hang of it, writing training programs is SO FAST - Provides a personal experience for each client - The ability to run group programs but still provide a customized approach to programming and coaching! Cons \- it's set up to be training only so I have to improvise in order to provide lifestyle and nutrition coaching as well - reporting has a lot of room for improvement for a business growth and development stand point (processing payments, tax statements, marketing/advertising) Review Source RG Ruben G. Real Estate Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It helps me get myself motivated to workout" May 14, 2024 5.0 I have a love hate relationship. I enjoy it some of the days, but if I have a large meal with multiple things, it becomes difficult to track and go through all of the food. It would be great to have more basic options, vs only purchased food or meal from particular restaurants. What if someone makes a meal at home? Isn't there a standard size for a chicken parmagiana anywhere? Pros I enjoy the communication between myself and my trainer through the app. It helps motivate and make adjustments. I think that as I use this app, I learn to get better with it. Cons The standard preloaded messages from my trainer, I can tell it's not the person I typically work with. I don't love how it can be very difficult to change from 1 cup, to 1/2 a cup of whatever the food is that I'm eating. My trainer has told me to track all of my food, the app doesn't make it easy for this. Review Source PD Paul D. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "2 years on" February 1, 2019 4.0 The software works well with my 1-2-1 clients week in week out. It adds accessibility to more/all budgets by permitting me to distribute satellite coaching services at my local gym. Moving forward I plan to start some more online coaching as well to enhance my business Pros After 2 years, building workouts has become second nature. The flow of the phone app and the website work well together when programming individual clients as well as groups. Cons The only flaw in the app is a lack of a booking platform for clients to both book into boot camps/classes and being able to see my availability in app (I combat this to an extent with google calendar integrated into my trainerize website) Review Source Response from ABC Fitness November 20, 2019 Hey Paul! Thank you for taking the time to review us and provide feedback! We're so happy to hear about building workouts becoming second nature. As for appointments/scheduling, we're currently working on that and plan to release more around these features soon. We hope your transition into online training is going well, please don't hesitate to reach out if we can help in any way :) Liz L. Health and Fitness Professional Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Trainerize Is easy to use and a great way to keep my clients organized." October 25, 2017 5.0 The software helps me manage my clients all in one place. I get a daily reports showing what each person has done for their workouts, and I am able to program workouts for online training. It also makes communication with clients very easy. It's a great place to track body measurements, as well as keep a record of daily nutrition. Pros The software helps keep my clients accountable to me and makes it very easy to communicate with each other. I can train more clients this way by spending less time in person, yet still giving effective workouts. Cons It's hard to think of any cons, because trainer is is constantly trying to improve the product. However I do wish it would sync with the Garmin watch like it does with Fitbit.
