### "Great training app!"

April 18, 2021

4.0

The ability to have a customized app where I prescribe training for my clients helps to set my business apart.

Pros

Easy to upload my own training videos or clips from YouTube. Love the customized app. Clients are very impressed.

Cons

Many of the early exercise demonstrations (especially early on) are not great. Some of the more recent videos are much better. But overall more could be added, especially in terms of dynamic movement, speed training etc. The exercise library, though expansive, still needs a lot of supplementation.

### "Excellent app 10/10"

January 1, 2021

5.0

excellent!

Pros

i personally love the ease of being able to deploy mass workouts to groups with minimal effort and time

Cons

when you play a demonstration video clip it cuts out your music in which your currently playing and then you have to restart music

January 20, 2021

Thank you for the great review Lee. Music cutting out when videos are played is device specific. Sadly some devices can't play video and separate music at the same time, others such as Samsung Galaxy S20, S21 and many newer phones can play video and music together. Hopefully this should become much more common as clients update their devices. Thank you again for the great review.

### "Great Online PT platform"

January 4, 2021

5.0

Im using it for over 1 year and I will continue to do so! Great Experience

Pros

It\`s incredible easy to create new training programs. Using the template style, I\`m creating a whole month\`s worth of training in a few minutes for a client. Very good time saver and all my clients enjoy the custom mobile app.

Cons

It takes a while to get the hang of it, and to learn all the options. You can truly do remarcable programming with PTD, just take in consideration the learning curve

January 28, 2021

5.0

Pros

Allows for great and easy customisation in every aspect. From program creation to app design.

Cons

I cannot think of any particular cons right now. All in all a great platform! It would be great if it continued to integrate more 3rd party tools e.g. polar etc

I love the adaptability of PT Distinction, I can customise my user experience in so many different ways that aren't available in other products on the market.

Cons

it can be a little fidgety setting up programs, and scheduling but once you learn how it functions everything can be done quite quickly.

### "Great PT software"

April 28, 2021

4.0

Good PT software, just needs a few more features

Pros

I like the whole layout of the software, but also that you can integrate into your website. When I built mind I will use this feature. I also like that you can integrate MFP and also design your own app and logo for your clients to see.

Cons

I do not like that you can not set client goals. Also I do not like how you can not see logged information from clients via the PTD app

### "Manage Clients and Give Them a Great Experience Much Easier!"

November 29, 2021

5.0

It's been fantastic - I love I can see my clients' progress from a bird's eye point of view

Pros

Easy to manage clients, including workout schedules, accountability, and more!

Cons

A little overwhelming at first, but you get used to it.

### "Great Product"

January 9, 2021

5.0

My coaching clients love the app.

Pros

We needed a program that will provide all of the following: training guidance, video + text materials, and organizational capabilities. PT Distinction checks all these boxes and more. We also appreciate the fact that we can provide a custom App for our clients.

Cons

Slight learning curve at first, but the PTD library offers a lot of support modules to help you get it up and running. Their Facebook support group is also great. Pricing is per client, which can become costly.

### "The best, very user friendly"

April 18, 2021

5.0

Very good. This is an added bonus to my health and wellness business. I'm excited about the potential it brings to my business.

Pros

I like that you can customize the software to integrate with your business look and/ or website. I love that it has an app. This is the most attractive to customers.

Cons

some of the integration processes weren't as smooth, most especially if you have a WordPress website. But it can be done. I love that you can go to the tutorials of the software and learn how to navigate better in the program

Reason for choosing PT Distinction

Because it had some of the key components that we use in our health and wellness programming. I could tell that it was created by exercise physiologists and fitness experts.

### "Great platform, very powerful! "

April 29, 2021

5.0

PTD helps me save so much time in my business. I'm able to send automated messages to my clients to keep them on track.

Pros

The ease of creating workout programs for my clients is very easy and efficient. I'm able to create programs in no time.

Cons

Overall I'm very pleased with the software. The only thing that would be beneficial is a trainer app to easily view messages from clients while I'm not at my computer.

I am thrilled with PT distinction.

I love how much time I have saved once I learned how to use the software. It takes time to learn because there are just so many features but, once mastered, it's a huge game changer.

Cons

### "Great software"

February 16, 2021

5.0

Pros

I have been using this software for a while already, and I'm not really planning on changing it. Very user-friendly on both ends. Some of my clients are over 60 and they can use it with no problem. It has a lot of features in order to keep your clients connected and committed. Overall I'm very happy with it.

Cons

When you are creating programs you have to make sure to save them while you are building it, otherwise, the software will give you a message that it will log off because of inactivity.

### "Best Software I have come across so far! "

January 6, 2021

5.0

Best I have ever used and i was a big fan of Trainerize but PT Distinction literally dumps on any fitness platform out there.

Pros

Integration with other platforms such as MyFitnessPal makes life so much easier as you only need to use this platform for all of your clients nutrition and training programs. Also creating groups and setting up the time released forms and assessments to go out to every client you add into the group saves a coach so much time!!!!

Cons

it is a little bit confusing to navigate at first but once you get the hang of it it becomes fairly easy to use.

### "Great platform"

February 16, 2021

It's exactly what I need. It's made my life so much easier and has helped to streamline my online and in-gym coaching business.

Pros

It's simple for me to use AND for my clients to use. The client facing app is custom to my brand, which helps getting more people to buy in. Its professional looking, performs well, and the technical and customer support is top class.

Cons

I'd love to hace opportunity to adjust my app instantly, or get email notifications when a client fills out a form.

### "The best software around"

March 21, 2017

5.0

I reviewed every online training software available but PT Distinction was head and neck above the rest. There is not much I can't do in PTD and really makes running my business so much easier. It was so good I stared my month free trial and ended the free trial after about a week because I was so impressed I just wanted to start building my custom app and start building my business. The features and the functionality are great but they are accompanied by some of the best customer service I have ever encountered. Tim and the team are unbelievable, if I need an answer to a question the support is in place either through the closed Facebook group or direct message. I even had Ash contact me via hangouts to have a face to face chat to try and help answer any questions I may have and help get me set up quicker. The software and the service are second to none!!!!

Pros

Everything.... the fact that I can automate almost everything means that I am not limited to the amount of clients I can serve with out taking anything away front their experience and give them the best of me really gives me the ability to run a successful business and still have the time to spend with my kids. Not to mention the support Tim and the team provide is crazy!

Cons

A little overwhelming to start whilst trying to learn everything. Has so many features it takes time to familiarise yourself!

### "Joining PTD was the best thing I ever did for my PT business. "

January 18, 2019

5.0

Joining PTD was the best thing I could have done for my PT business. It opened up so many opportunities for me and allows me to provide such a better service for my clients. My business has grown so much over the past couple of years and this is down to PTD. I would highly recommend it, you will not regret signing up.

Pros

Being able to coach more clients in one go. Setting this up is so simple.

Cons

The fact my WIX website is quite slow with the integration, however this will all be solved when the new version of the app is out for PTD which is very soon! PTD offer a mini site anyway so I use this at the moment until the release of the new app!
