### "Highly Customizable!"

August 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

WorkoutLabs Train is one of the greatest software I've used as a Personal Trainer! By integrating client capability, it has never been easier to keep my clients on board and achieving results! The many options to customize just about everything there is is an excellent feature as each client is different. The user interface is clean, modern, and user friendly and my clients love the exercise illustrations! Managing my calendar has never been easier as well!

Cons

There are constant updates so nothing I've had an issue with hasn't already been fixed!

### "Needs improvement on trainer side"

August 30, 2024

3.0

Mediocre. User interface speed needs to be improve when pulling an exercise and on the workout calendar when adding or removing workouts

Pros

Go user interface on client side. I like that it customized the client phone app to my company logo. Exercise pictures are also well done.

Cons

On the trainer side I consistently had issues with slow loading times, or workout programs being completely lost after finishing them. This second point was disruptive enough that I will likely not be renewing my membership moving forward.

### "Customizable platform for clients LOVE accountability"

September 1, 2024

5.0

very good, i've used it for a long time, more that 4 years.

Pros

I love that i can customize the workout plan for my client. And that they can check the box or mark as green if they've done it.

Cons

I cant upload a video or customized video o long follow along program to level up the ilustration routine. The only thing that is missing for me is being able to upload a recorded video of the class for my client. I love the ilustration feature

### "Functionality for group planning needed"

September 13, 2024

4.0

Making changes on the calendar is not so easy. A "shift" functionality in order move entire blocks of training would be of great use. Also having the possibility to group athletes an apply the same workout to the whole group would be useful. Having the possibility to schedule more than two "workouts" per day, for example, separate files for pre-run warm up, post run cool down and strength training would be great.

Pros

The plans are clear, customizable and actually work!

Cons

Sometimes the web app doesn't run as fast as one would wish.

### "Awesome platform"

June 4, 2020

5.0

Reaching more clients online and also giving my clients accountability where I can see completed workouts and weight & exercise goals.

Pros

Great platform, easy to use and has meaningful features for both the trainer/coach and the client. Design is great!

Cons

Not having a separate mobile app as this will be key for clients that only use their mobile devices.

### "Ease of programming with WL!"

December 11, 2024

5.0

I've used WL for will over 10 years now and love graphics and ease of programming.

Pros

The ease of use with the calendar. You can easily see your entire schedule.

Cons

No nutritional guide and no way to do eft's on ongoing clients. No app which makes the accountability factor difficult.

Thank you, Danielle! Regarding the lack of an app – Train is set up to work as a full-screen web app on iOS and Android, but few users know about it. We will share a simple How-To shortly.

Pros

WorkoutLabs Train makes creating and customizing workout plans so seamless, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced.

### "Good overall. Enjoyed having a platform that my clients can refer to if not in house."

May 10, 2018

3.0

Able to expand my client reach and have the option to add personal exercises that I have created for my clients.

Pros

Easy access for my out of town clients to follow my designed workout plan. Great motivation for both parties to see if they have followed along and done the workout.

Cons

Flexibility in customization. No where for a notes section for clients to refer to. Not a lot of space/room on the workout calendar to type in a workout/idea for the client.

### "Workout Labs makes it easy for me to create easy-to-follow programs for my remote training clients. "

April 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

For a very reasonable price, I can send professional-looking, cohesive, and actionable programs to my clients. They look and function far better than anything that I could make on my own.

Cons

I sometimes feel limited by the illustrations either because they don't currently have the movement I'm looking for (although I see that you can now add your own which is great!) or because the form is a bit off for a given movement and I need to explain that to my client.

### " WorkoutLabs Train Review"

August 28, 2018

5.0

I've really enjoyed it. I have been using WorkoutLabs for over a year now and it has been worth it for me.

Pros

I enjoyed the drag and drop functionality of the software, as well as the search function!

Cons

There was one section where I have to save it, then exit out before downloading. Would be nice to just be able to download the PDF right in the workout plan.

### "Great no frills programme writer. Just what I was looking for, awesome support. Very user friendly."

June 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

Ease of use, no frills, just able to write my programmes and communicate with my clients. There are tons of apps which are so complicated and overwhelming.

Cons

I can't sort my programmes easily. I'd like to be able to move them around. I'm on an iPad and limited to screen space. I also would love to achieve paused clients.

Response from WorkoutLabs

June 15, 2018

Thank you very much Lynne! Moving plans around is a little easier on a computer and if you don't plan to restore a paused client, you can always delete them.

June 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very easy to use, messaging system included to its easy to chat with clients, clients can move workouts around which is a huge plus.

Cons

Limited exercises in the library however that will continue to increase as the software grows! Also when trying to open a workout it takes a few clicks because the system thinks you are trying to move the workout to a different day.

### "Best program builder so far"

December 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

It’s easy to use and has a variety of exercises. Plus, they are always updating their library. My clients have an easy time accounting for their workouts.

Cons

It would be nice to have a client payment button. Also, it lacks mobility/flexibility/SMR/Corrective moves; there are a few, but it would be nice to see more.

### "Work out Labs Train allows me the freedom to put the focus on my clients!"

September 24, 2018

5.0

Bottom line: The program helps trainers to look more professional and my clients love having their own programs designed for them. Gold's Gym Trainer and Certified Fitness Specialist.

Pros

The diagrams are clear. I can add individual notes to personalize each clients workout session, not to mention the gender icon to change from either male or female. The description of the muscle groups trained and how to perform each exercise is a real time saver.

Cons

I can only create basic work out routines. It would be helpful to have more up to date workouts

### "Workout Labs; AMAZING "

November 8, 2018

5.0

I love using this software. I wanted to be able to provide my clients with programs that contained descriptions and pictures of each exercise. Workout Labs allows me to do so.

Pros

I love the easy to use design and professional layout this software has to offer. My clients loved being to easily track their workouts and progress.

Cons

The only con is that there is not yet an app.

August 18, 2016

5.0

I tried a few services, though nothing stuck out like Workout Labs. Incredible customer support and run by people who genuinely care about my business and myself.

Pros

The customer support once again, followed by the extensive array of options.

Cons

It's a little limited in its exercises, though something I can see being no trouble as it expands.

Good overall, it hasn't been improved much in the 4 years I have been using it. I hope to see more features soon.

Pros

Variety of exercises, explanations of exercises, clarity of use for clients

Cons

Program lags a lot, difficult to search for clients as you can only search by first name, difficulty assigning workout to clients, not able to include AMRAPS

### "Great simple exercise diagrams. A+ for visual guides for hard copy workouts"

August 27, 2024

4.0

Great! I was always taken care of as a customer and I feel like they hear my voice as someone who has 50+ personal training clients.

Pros

The most important thing to me is using the exercise pictures as handouts for clients. This was something no other program did. The value of the pictures is worth it. As an experienced trainer, this is what I need. Workout sheets. Not apps, email systems, check ins etc.

Cons

Least desirable is the amount of clicks I need to take from building a workout to saving it to printing it. Also, finding workouts I've made is a hassle. There needs to be a recent history function, and an auto save as I have crashed and lost the workouts many times.
