Pros Fitbud is honestly one of the easiest to learn systems out there. But just because it's easy it doesn't mean that it lacks behind other apps. Let me get amazing value for your money, you get high nutrition workout Creation with the AI and the user interface is amazing. They have great clients support.

April 21, 2026 5.0 FitBudd has been instrumental in building and scaling Change Fitness into a streamlined, client-centered coaching experience. The platform combines training, nutrition, messaging, and progress tracking into one intuitive system, allowing me to deliver high-touch, personalized coaching at scale. Its strongest advantages are ease of use, client engagement, and overall value. While there are opportunities for deeper customization and expanded content libraries, FitBudd remains a powerful, all-in-one solution for modern fitness businesses. Pros Ease of use, client engagement, and overall value. In this order: Value for money. Client experience & support. Coach & customer support. Messaging & communication. Business & brand growth. Security & data handling. Cons Opportunities for deeper customization and expanded content libraries. 1. Customization Limitations: While branding is strong, deeper customization (advanced workflows, niche needs) can be limited. Some users report wanting more flexibility in features and templates. 2. Exercise & Content Library Gaps: Exercise library may not be as extensive as some competitors. Some content relies on GIFs vs. high-production video (unless customized). 3. Platform Nuances / Workflow Constraints: Scheduling structure (e.g., weekly flow) can require manual adjustment for client start dates. Occasional syncing or mobile vs. desktop functionality differences reported. 4. Advanced Feature Depth: For highly advanced coaching models (clinical-level nutrition, deep analytics), additional tools may still be needed. Some features are evolving rather than fully mature.

December 4, 2025 5.0 I've had other business owners use the contact options with FitBudd to reach out to me. I've had nothing but the best experience and business growth! Pros I've been with FitBudd from its beginning. I switched from two other apps that did not have a website option, poor customer service, and limited client support. Cons No client prompts to complete their profile. We have to reach out to the client to remind them most of the time.

Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BEST COACHING APP FOR COACHES 5 STAR" September 19, 2025 5.0 Fantastic, staff are helpful and friendly and always willing to help. Never had a problem which wasn't fixed easily or quickly with the help from the team at Fit Budd. Also great value for money and reasonable pricing for what you get with the app AND website. Pros The ability to customize your own colour scheme and style to your own liking for the app & have every feature needed to help your clients goals. The apps security when it comes to keeping your clients data and privacy safe is also unmatched. Cons No ability to move areas of the app around to make it even more customizable. Such as getting rid of nutrition area all together if needed for a certain plan or putting the nutrition area above the workout section. Sometimes glitches can occur in certain areas of the app which can be a nuisance to clients and myself, but this is always fixed properly when it does happen and is a learning curve. Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Fit Budd had better value for money and more features.

Communication has always been clear and responsive, they’ve been proactive in understanding my needs, and any requests or adjustments have been handled quickly and professionally. The process felt smooth from start to finish, and I’m really happy with the outcome. Pros What I like most about the platform is how smooth it makes both my work and my clients’ experience. The dashboard and scheduling tools save me time, the nutrition and workout tracking is simple and clear for clients to follow, and overall they find the app easy to use. The feedback has been incredible. Having happy, engaged clients who feel supported makes my job so much easier, and Fitbudd delivers that really well. The support from the team is also faultless. They are amazing, attentive and responsive. Cons The food database can be a little unreliable at times. Not actually Fitbudds ‘fault’ but it needs some intervention. Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Reason for choosing FitBudd The quality of the sales service - they actually cared.

My clients like the app. I don't have to worry about the developer end, makes my job a lot easier. Pros Easy to use interface. Customer service is very responsible when issues rise. The new Ai generative workouts is a game changer. Cons Inability to export client data. The analysis system is very simple and does not go in depth. Customer service can take days to response.

It's user friendly and easy to set up, add workouts and nutrition plans. My clients love the app. Pros How easy the app is. After researching many, this is the best! I like that I have a resource section for videos and an on demand section for follow along workouts. I can make it customized to me and my brand. Cons That I can't have more than 1 subscription going at a time for clients, like if they want to upgrade.

The support is great but I dont think they understand more of the trainer mindset more Pros Its able to utilize hybrid coaching for both in person and out Cons theres still a lot of things missing for the coach and its not as user friendly for the client and the coaching app is not very user friendly when I am trying out, its only good for when I am at my computer Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Reason for choosing FitBudd I need it to do more than glowfox and not break the bank I need it all in one Review Source Response from FitBudd April 7, 2025 Thanks for your honest feedback.

VR Verified Reviewer Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Streamlined Coaching and Happy Clients" August 13, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with FitBudd has been excellent. It has made running my training business so much smoother by keeping client programs, communication, and tracking all in one place. My clients love how simple it is to use and how organized their workouts and progress updates are. It has helped me save time, stay consistent with my coaching, and deliver a more professional experience from start to finish Pros I love how easy it is to set up programs, track client progress, and customize workouts to match each client’s needs. The app makes communication simple and keeps everything in one place so my clients stay on track and engaged. It has helped me deliver a more professional and streamlined coaching experience without spending extra time on admin work Cons Sometimes the app can feel a little limited when it comes to adding certain advanced features, like more detailed nutrition tracking or expanded progress photo comparison tools. These would make it even easier to give clients a complete all-in-one experience. Review Source Response from FitBudd August 21, 2025 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful review!

Athlete Development-Personal Trainer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great app but need more updates." May 21, 2025 5.0 My overall experience using the app has been great. I find it user-friendly, efficient, and full of helpful features that support my work with clients. The design is intuitive, which makes navigating through exercises and planning sessions easy and time-saving. I especially appreciate how the app continues to improve with regular updates and new features that reflect user feedback. This shows a strong commitment to quality and growth. While there are a few areas that could be refined—such as reducing time lost to ads when using YouTube videos and adding an assessment section—the app as a whole has been a valuable tool in my daily workflow. Pros I really appreciate the way you continuously work on improving the app by adding new features. It shows that you're listening to user feedback and committed to making the experience better for professionals like me. However, one thing I find frustrating is the time I waste whenever I try to show an exercise video on my tablet, especially if the video is hosted on YouTube. The ads that play before the actual content slow me down and interrupt the flow of my sessions. It would also be very helpful to have a built-in assessment section to streamline evaluations and track client progress more effectively. Cons Every time I demonstrate an exercise using my tablet, I waste a lot of time dealing with ads—especially if the video is from YouTube. This disrupts the flow and wastes valuable session time. I’d also really appreciate having a dedicated assessment section integrated into the system and making it more sports performance.

Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use" November 2, 2025 4.0 Overall, I have been able to help a great number of people through FitBudd. The team is very responsive and offer help at all times. Pros Easy to use. Love how easy it is to upload videos. I also enjoy the ease of use when it comes to building workouts. The exercise library is huge. The library has everything you need to lead any client at every level of their journey. Cons It does not allow clients to talk to each other. Does not give me a notification when a client completes a workout. I would love for this to evolve into a social media style platform where each client gets a notification when other clients complete workouts and load food to motivate them to do the same. Review Source Response from FitBudd November 3, 2025 Thank you so much for sharing your experience and kind words. Clients can connect with each other through group chats when set up. Notifications for completed workouts or food logs aren’t available at the moment, as they could get overwhelming for trainers managing multiple clients. We’ve taken note of your feedback and really appreciate you being part of the FitBudd community.

December 3, 2025 5.0 Fantastic experience thus far! The dashboard for client management is intuitive & simplifies the process for my clients and myself as the trainer. Pros The Fitbudd team made the onboarding, app creation, and publication process incredibly simple! They are professional and helpful every step of the way. Cons The one thing I would change is the macro to calorie conversion. I am not sure what formula is used - but would like to be able to calculate and input myself based on 4 calories/gram of protein, 4 calories/gram of carb, and 9 calories/gram of fat. Review Source Response from FitBudd December 31, 2025 Thank you for the great feedback!
