Online Weight Loss Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Absolutely Recommended" January 7, 2021 5.0 Phenomenal. I've used other online softwares and none compare to this. Has given me back time and the ability to take on more clients and provide 100x the value to them! Pros The ease of uploading templates and distribution to clients and ability to edit them after assigning it to a client. The ability to auto release content to a client's schedule when you want it to. Saves MASSIVE time for me. Cons The lack of exercises provided for resistance bands and some for body weight alone. Reason for choosing PT Distinction The value, efficiency, and time this sofware gives back to you while being more productive is more than I've come across in the past. Review Source Response from PT Distinction January 20, 2021 Thank you for the great review Blake, it's great we help you save so much time and provide excellent coaching to your clients. We have around 400 body-weight and resistance band exercise options, if you type "band" in to the exercise search you will see lots of banded exercises. For body-weight options type the type of exercise i.e burpee, or push up and all of the options come up. Henrik G. Personal Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Progress for your clients health and your business" February 7, 2021 5.0 I like the App since it give me control over my clients progression. There are several tools that my clients use daily to keep focus on their own progression. Pros The ability to use statistics and charts to review client results and the ability to give immediate feedback to a single client or to a group of clients. I also find it very easy to set up workout programs or swap a single exercise inside a clients program. Cons The message function needs to be improved. I have to go out and back in again to read new messages sometimes. Review Source NK Nik K. Online fitness coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best app I've used so far" November 11, 2022 5.0 Overall awesome experience! Pros The app provides a lot of great features and is very easy to use. Plus, they have a very responsive customer service that goes above and beyond to help with any potential issues. Cons Nothing really. Maybe the only thing is that their packages are the best primarily for those coaches who have 15-20+ clients. Reason for choosing PT Distinction More features and customization Review Source LJ Luke J. Fitness Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PT Distinction can be a useful tool" December 4, 2019 3.0 Overall this software is solid depending on your goals. If you are trying to make a lot of money as an online trainer for putting in minimal effort, then go with this software. But if you want to work honestly and make a difference in someone's life, train in person. Pros PT Distinction will greatly help you if you intend on becoming an online personal trainer. It gives you the resources needed to thrive in this personal training trend. Cons Online personal training is kind of a joke. There is so much value in being with an actual trainer. And almost anybody can be an online trainer. For anyone looking to be a personal trainer, go to an actual fitness center. Review Source Response from PT Distinction December 18, 2019 Hi Luke, We see you tried signing up for a trial of PT Distinction 2 days AFTER leaving this review but haven't yet logged in! Interestingly you have been offered gift vouchers by Capterra to review software's. Your negativity toward online training probably comes from a place of well meaning but is thankfully wrong. The support and results from online training is often far better than those for face to face training. Online coaching gives the opportunity to support your clients 24/7 rather than just 1-2 hours a week. The results reflect this. Many of our members report life changing results for their clients and most say their results with online clients are better than results with their face to face clients. Online coaching allows the best trainers to help far more people than face to face training so the impact for those that actually do it is incredible. To date our members have helped 150,000 people and many have shown life changing results. mU mateo U. strenght coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Would recommend 100%" February 8, 2021 5.0 Been using it for 2+ years for clients, memberships, challenges, myself and been loving how customizable everything is. Best money spent in my business. Pros After you learn how to use it you can make SO MUCH stuff here its pretty amazing. Has A LOT of stuff but you use what you need so my clients dont feel overwhelmed by so much stuff happening at the same time. I am from Colombia and all my clients only speak spanish, i have been using it for 2+ years with no complains so imagine how easy to use it is if non-english speaking clients use it. The support team is awesome, theres a fb group to help you out with questions and they are constantly making it better. Cons just technical stuff like the setup of how the workouts show themselves to clients sometimes makes it hard to understand but other than that is awesome.

Online Personal Trainer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best software for online trainers" September 27, 2021 5.0 It has been amazing, and I highly encourage every online trainer to use this software! Pros The cost and features. This app offers the most features for the best price! Cons I honestly love everything about it. I have tried other brands, and this one incorporates everything from nutrition, assessments, to general programming. Reason for choosing PT Distinction Because it includes fitness, nutrition, assessments and more Review Source CD Chris D. Online Fitness Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PT Distinction Review" January 17, 2021 5.0 PT distinction has provided me with a platform to fully move my business online. This has given me so much freedom to be anywhere in the world and still give my clients and amazing service. Pros Creating programs for our clients is super easy to do. We have been able to upload all our own video demos and coaching content. We have had great feedback from clients worldwide on how easy it is to use and how they love that they can use it at anytime anywhere. Cons Downfall is when using the app, sometimes it lags or videos take long to load. Also, one is unable to use the app without the internet. Lastly, the app is very limited to how much you can customize it to suit your own business branding.

Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "How I created my online business with PTD" February 24, 2023 5.0 PTD has allowed me to fully go online with my personal so training business. It has helped me retain the quality of service that my clients expect and help my clients achieve amazing results. It has honestly changed my life. Pros The customised mobile app really made an impact on my brand. It made my online business look more professional and high end. The automated features are really useful and it’s a fantastic tool to scale my online personal training business. Cons It is a shame that not all the features are available on the mobile app, clients did find this a little bit of a barrier. The payment set up seems a bit complicated and it takes time to understand all the features. Reason for choosing PT Distinction It looked the best. Review Source LM Lanell M. Head Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All In One Fitness System" February 15, 2021 5.0 I've loved the app. It's been amazing! Don't know if I can change to another app. Pros I love how many features there are in the app. It allows me to customize the app for my business as well as start email marketing to all of my clients. I also love how TEMPO is programmed into the fitness app. There are so many cool features and I'm not even using all of them. This is truly an all-in-one app! Cons Because there are so many features it is difficult to learn everything. There is a lag between learning and implementation of the app. However, this can be alleviated with some time. I'm definitely a fan of the app. I would like the app to keep track of total tonnage for clients. This would allow clients to see that they are lifting more weight each and every set.

Personal trainer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A good starter app" September 25, 2022 4.0 Overall I use the app every day and it’s easy to work with. My clients seem to like it. Pros What I like most about the app is that it allows you to have a custom app on the Google play and Apple Store. This makes you look very professional to clients. Cons What I like least about the app is that it doesn’t really look that nice. The design could be a lot better. Review Source PD Paul D. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product! Highly recommend it." June 22, 2021 5.0 Everything is much more streamlined with PTD, and professional looking. Pros It is very simple to use to start getting a lot of clients great results and keep track of them. Cons Exercise library could be a little bigger, but it is easy to add in your own exercises and videos from YouTube. Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/)[TrueCoach](https://www.capterra.com/p/155784/truecoach/)[My PT Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/146651/My-PT-Hub/) Reason for choosing PT Distinction I had done a program which involved me being on the user-end of PTD and I thought it looked great and was easy to navigate. After a couple demo's I figured it was equally simplistic on the back end to build out so we went with it. Happy we did. Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) I had used Trainerize a while back and never got the hang of it. Always felt clunky. Review Source PD Paige D. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Looks professional" January 7, 2021 5.0 I love that my clients receive branded notifications - I also love that paperwork is no longer necessary. So many good features on this software. The Facebook support group also provides a good two-way communication between users and developers. Pros Not paying additional cost for app. It adds so much value to my face-to-face clients and I am now looking to grow my business online as I believe I can provide an even better service and value for money as an online coach. Cons Navigation around site could be simpler. I would also like to see an app for the PT end which allows you to do everything you can do on the desktop version - for example, I'd like to be able to amend programs, comment on food diary etc on a mobile device instead of solely my laptop. Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/)[PTminder](https://www.capterra.com/p/144027/PTminder/) Reason for choosing PT Distinction I chose PT Distinction because the branded app came as part of the subscription and wasn't a large additional cost. Review Source Response from PT Distinction January 20, 2021 Thank you for the great review Paige. Navigation should be very simple, all you need to know is this; - To give something to a client go to the clients dashboard and click Add. - To give something to a group of clients go to a group dashboard and click Add. - To add a template go to Templates, chose the type and click Add. You can also do everything as a trainer on your phone, simply login to the web portal on your mobile and it loads up the web app which has all trainer features at the palm of your hand. We're very happy you love all of the features and your custom apps! JS Jameson S. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Solid" November 4, 2020 5.0 They were extremely helpful and responsive to me before, during, and after I was a customer. It's a great product, just not for me. Pros How it was so easy to customize the programming and automate the coaching I wanted to implement. It was a breeze to set up. Cons Once it was set up and going, I had no way of knowing that it was going to work. There was no confirmation screen. On top of that issue, there was no global overview of the programming I had designed. Alternatives considered [TrueCoach](https://www.capterra.com/p/155784/truecoach/) Reason for choosing PT Distinction Cost, customization, habit coaching options. Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Cost, customization, habit coaching options. Review Source Response from PT Distinction November 5, 2020 Thank you for the review Jameson, I'm pleased you found setting everything up so easy. You get confirmation the program is saved when you press save and can see what your clients see in the program by pressing on view. You get an overview of results by selecting view program results. MH Mona H. Personal trainer & online coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Would highly recommend PTD for personal trainers & online coaches" June 12, 2022 5.0 Pros What I like most about the software is that it is very complete. The habit tracking feature and other features make it easy as a coach to keep an overview and facilitates communication with your clients. Building programs is also very convenient. Although the exercise library could use an update with more exercises, it is always possible to add your own in a very easy way with a YouTube or Vimeo link. Cons It takes a little effort before you get familiar with the structure of the app (for example: most clients don't see that there are 2 views in the app at first). However, the explanation videos provided by PTD are very clear and helpful. Alternatives considered [Virtuagym](https://www.capterra.com/p/132191/Virtuagym/) Reason for choosing PT Distinction I focus highly on habit coaching with my clients. Therefore, the habit tracking feature in PTD convinced me to consider this software. Also, I heard good things about the software and its customer support from other coaches. Review Source Peter S.

Pros Creating automated sign ups to programs and coaching elements. Cons Scheduling and booking would be great to be included Review Source JE Jeanine E. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The most valuable tool for my business" January 4, 2021 5.0 This has been the biggest asset to my business. Just when It think I am using all the features I discover another way to utilize it. Pros The amount of automation you can apply to certain tasks allows me to scale my business. The custom app Cons I can honestly say there isn't anything I don't like. The only issues I have encountered are asked by my lack of taking the time to learn how I can utilize certain features. There resources are there it just took me some time to fully utilize them to optimize my use of the system. Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Reason for choosing PT Distinction Seemed more intuitive, had more features I was looking for.

Health & Wellness Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User for 3+ Years" January 22, 2021 5.0 This review is LONG overdue. I've been a user of PTD for over 3-years and I gotta say it truly is a GAME-CHANGER. Not only is it super easy to use and flow through but it's helped me save so much time and opened up room for me to do the other day-to-day tasks. I use it to program and send Habit Reminders, the exercise library is STACKED and don't get me started with the Backend Support, Thank you \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] for helping me become a PTD Ninja!. If you're a Personal Trainer, Health & Wellness Coach and want to get online to better serve your clients PTD is the platform for you! -Serge \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] Pros Easy to use. App looks great. Exercise Library. Able to schedule habits, emails, messages easily. Cons Some of my clients were not getting notifications even when they allowed notifications and even when they deleted and re-uploaded app. Also when they accidently check-in there's no way for them to "un-Check-In" Review Source BV Ben V. Gym Owner Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hands down the best coaching software I have used!" April 22, 2021 5.0 I have been coaching for 20 years and over the years have used numerous software for clients programming, scheduling and nutrition. I always found there to be features that were missing, customer service would take hours to get back to you when you have an issue and they were very expensive. With PT distinction, you know that it was designed by someone who knows about coaching. Just simple things like being able to input exercise tempo and intensity when prescribing exercises. These little things for me are very important. I own a Personal Training facility and have recommended to all of my coaches that they all use this software to help them run there businesses more efficiently but ultimately get better adherence and results for their clients. Pros Everything! The professional layout, the programming, scheduling, ease of use for client, the ability to be able to track habits, assessments etc. Cons The only complaint I would have from a clients perspective is that when they track workout results on the app. When you type in say your load and reps for a particular set, if you come out of app or phone turns off, it wipes all of the results for that workout, even if you have clicked save set. Switched from [TrueCoach](https://www.capterra.com/p/155784/truecoach/) In my opinion PT distinction is 100% better than Truecoach. More features, looks more professional, customer service reply instantly and its ease of use. Plus its cheaper and you get way more for your money. Review Source RS Randell S. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing software for personal trainers" April 27, 2022 5.0 I love it! Most importantly? All of my clients love how easy it is to follow the flow of the workouts and access their program! Pros This software is extremely intuitive and diverse in it's layout. It is simple to create a detailed workout for clients and the interface is very user friendly. Cons No issues at this time! I have had a wonderful experience! Reason for choosing PT Distinction I compared this to about every option on the market. This was the best value I could find. No other options had as detailed of a setup and extensive exercise library built into software. The ability to work nutrition in is another nice touch. Review Source SR Stephanie R. Weight loss and Mindset Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love this app! " January 23, 2021 5.0 The new app interface is so functional and easy to use for clients. It helps you to easily stay in touch without having to repeat tasks that can be automated. It's genius! And they are very receptive to feedback and suggestions. Pros I love the customer service!! \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is the best hands down. The app is meant to help you save time and scale by using group stacking to quickly automate and customize your coaching services. Cons There is a learning curve! Other software may be easier to understand at first but there is a whole university for training, amazing customer service, live trainings, and a fair pricing strategy to help you grow.

Founder Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great training software for fitness and heath professionals " September 22, 2020 5.0 Wonderful software and I highly recommend it to health and fitness professionals who want to grow and scale an online business or in person. Pros PT distinction makes life incredibly easy when managing a book of online clients from check ins to content delivery. Cons Sometimes the support is rather difficult to work with and takes days upon days to figure problems out. Review Source Response from PT Distinction September 24, 2020 Thank you for the great review Chandler. We're pleased you love to software. Sorry our support has been slow for you, we generally answer all helpdask questions within a couple of hours and aim to have solutions at the first response. Occasionally our team does need to investigate further which can take a little more time, when this happens we still aim to have the solution with you in one business day. Thank you, and once again we're pleased you love the software! TS Tim S. Personal Trainer Used the software for: ### "Makes Me Look Brilliant" January 8, 2016 5.0 PT Distinction is different to many other software's as it is all about you. My clients login via my website, my apps are now my own (I.e I have my logo, name and own listing in the Apple and Android stores!), communications come from my email address, if clients print out a program it's my banner at the top! Even putting this level of customisation and branding asside it is still an unbelievable peice of software: - The exercise videos are the best looking videos online and are synchronised from front and side angles. - The tracking and charting of results is incredible. Multiple variables of any exercise compared on one graph....A true reflection of results. - You can create assessments, programs and emails then schedule them to be delivered to your client at a time and date that you want it to go. For me this means I can set up 3-4 months worth of client programs and assessments at one time and just let it happen (though if needed I can edit and change anything, anytime). I can then run an auto responder series of emails to guide, coach and encourage my clients. - The group's system is simply amazing! Put your coaching, programs, assessments, emails, coaching videos, questionnaires, meal plans, food diary etc...in to one coaching group and add the content to multiple clients accounts in 2 clicks!..I only use this for emails, a welcome video, some coaching videos and a few paleo recipe books but the potential with this is massive! - Then there is the ability to create totally automated packages and sell them to the world while I sit back and relax...... True passive income! I have so far got 2 automated programs, one for coaching cricket fast bowlers and another for weight loss. They are both low cost and can help almost anyone in the world...... This is great for me as my face to face PT prices are £120 per hour so I can now help anyone and not just the rich! - Add to all of this the latest feature that allows my clients to video themselves doing an exercise and then instantly view it alongside the correct demo video! My clients get instant feedback on their technique and the videos upload in to my account so that I can have a look and give my feedback as well. - All in all PT Distinction is amazing and every trainer who has pride in their own work and their own brand should use it.

Also some improvements for usage during the training, to enter progress or check out the exercises after having successfully done. Reason for choosing PT Distinction It provides an individualized app for my clients. Very special Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
