Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Change Fitness has grown thanks to FitBudd!" 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.

Personal Training Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Worth every penny!" March 25, 2026 5.0 So far excellent, will continue to use this platform for a long time going forward. Looking forward to getting more clients to upgrade my plan to see what other features are available. Pros The personalization is my favorite part. Being able to customize the website, and app is awesome. Plans are easy to set up. Pre loaded meal plans, exercises, and routines help drastically. Really gave me the confidence to launch my own online fitness business. A++ Cons Only thing is it doesn't sync to Google fit. Apple and Fitbit a plus but Google fit would edge it out. Review Source Response from FitBudd March 27, 2026 Thank you so much for the kind words. We are really glad the customization and setup helped you launch your business with confidence. We have noted your feedback on Google Fit and it is definitely something we are looking into. Excited to support your growth ahead. SP Sarah P. Wellness Coach Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Game Changer" September 9, 2025 5.0 I love FitBudd. they changed my entire business and gave me freedom in many ways. it is financially the best option not only for a training app but for a CUSTOM app. for those who aren't happy with the cookie cutter apps, this is what you need. I love how the app looks to my clients and how i can truly control every aspect of the clients plan. Pros the client support is amazing and they are great at making changes and updates to their hard system. The app is incredibly customizable and makes supporting and communicating with my clients and making changes to their programs so much easier. I love that i can adjust nutrition without uploading a new pdf. Cons i wish i had more ability to edit from the coaching app. generally, if there is something that i don't like or would like changed, they say they will send it up the ladder and they really do. I can't think of anything ive asked for that hasn't been added at some point. Review Source Response from FitBudd September 11, 2025 Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad FitBudd has helped your business grow and given you the freedom to customize for your clients. TL Tiffany L. Personal Trainer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love Fitbudd!" September 21, 2025 5.0 I've been with Fitbudd since 2021 and absolutely love it. Everyone on the developer team is quick to reply and is efficient with their help. When I see my trainer friends' platforms like TrueCoach or Trainerize I'm so happy that I stuck with Fitbudd because the interface just makes a lot more sense to me than the others. Fitbudd has helped me scale my clients and provide more value with being able to give my clients a well rounded program including cardio, recovery (stretching videos etc) and some habit tracking all in one app. I love that I can see their steps, food log, water intake and information from their watch during their workout. I'm also able to see clients from all over the world with my online programming too which wouldn't be possible without a platform to keep everything organized. So thankfull for Fitbudd and the whole team! Pros It's a very simple platform that helps me deliver top tier service to my clients! It helps me streamline everything and keep my clients on track. Cons There's nothing that I don't really like. Whenever there is an issue (like a bug within the platform), they are quick to respond and provide app updates to fix them. Review Source Response from FitBudd September 29, 2025 Wow, thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review! We’re thrilled to hear that FitBudd has made managing your clients easier and helped you scale your business globally. CG Chris G. Lifestyle Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I love this app !" August 9, 2025 5.0 Overall, I really love the app, and it’s working great for my training and coaching stuff. It makes managing clients and organizing everything way easier. Super easy to use, and it’s been a big help in keeping things smooth. I’m really happy with how it fits into my workflow! Pros I love how this app meets all my coaching needs! It's simple, easy to use, and the customer service team responds quickly to any questions I have. I appreciate how customizable the app is, allowing me to make it truly my own. My clients love it as well, which is the most important part! Thank you for providing such a great app! Cons Sometimes I need to refresh the page if it's lagging, but that might be due to internet connection issues. Aside from that, I love everything about the app! One feature I would love to see added is a way to automate happy birthday messages to my clients. It would also be great to have options for group challenges and the ability to send group messages to my team Review Source Response from FitBudd August 11, 2025 Thanks so much for the lovely feedback! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear FitBudd is making a difference for you and your clients. Group chat is available on all plans, and group challenges are part of the Elite plan. KB Kat B. Athletic Trainer Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love the app and features; could be better with some things! " September 9, 2025 4.0 Pros I love the functions that they offer for me and my clients. My clients tell me that it is easy to use. The support team is very good at making sure the apps for apple and goggle are up to date and assist with any issues with your developer agreements. Cons The app has glitches a lot making it difficult for me at times to do what I need to do for my clients. I do wish their support team had more availability for EST. Review Source Response from FitBudd September 11, 2025 Thanks for your feedback! We truly appreciate your patience and will keep working to make the app smoother and support more accessible for you. Your trust means a lot to us. LS Liam S. 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. Review Source Response from FitBudd September 29, 2025 Thanks for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you love the customization and security. KD Kate D. Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach and Long Term Condition Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend " September 18, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Fitbudd as my app developer has been excellent. 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. I was on a wheel with trainerize. Didn’t care at all. Review Source Response from FitBudd September 29, 2025 Thank you for the wonderful feedback — we’re thrilled to know FitBudd makes things smoother for you and your clients. TC Torrance C. Self employed personal trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing polished app" December 14, 2025 4.0 Been great. Love all the features. Clients love the app aswell. Happy with the app. Super easy to use Pros Easy, polished meal plans, client nutrition plans. Coaching clients interactions. Affordable, client support with they love. Customer support when needed. Security is great. Cons Client extra fees per month. Should be a fixed fee. Example 20-50 clients shouldn't do per 1 new client Review Source Response from FitBudd December 31, 2025 Thank you for the feedback, Torrance! We’re happy to hear you and your clients love the polished experience, nutrition tools, and ease of use. We also appreciate your pricing feedback—it’s valuable as we continue refining FitBudd to better support growing coaches. Todd E. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FitBudd...Changing The PT Landscape" February 24, 2026 5.0 I have been using FitBudd for over 2 years now and they offer the most well rounded and innovated software. Pros Ease of use and top not support. FitBudd offers members all they need to become a successful online fitness coach. They leave nothing for chance. Cons Not enough body weight exercises in the system. Although they offer exercises with video demonstrations, they could expand on there non gym equipment exercise library. Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Reason for choosing FitBudd Price, features and the 30 day trial subscription Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) It was not that user-friendly. That is on of my biggest pet peeve. Review Source AD Angel D. 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.

CEO and Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "5 years and its been great!" September 8, 2025 5.0 Pros it has been great for my business! easy to use and support is always there. I have used them for about 5 years now and i love working with the whole team. Cons nothing its been great so far and they continue to make it better each year. They strive to improve and make updates to help us coaches continue to scale our businesses. Switched from [My PT Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/146651/My-PT-Hub/) it was not a pretty app and too "cartoon" style. Review Source Response from FitBudd September 22, 2025 We truly appreciate your trust over the years and are excited to keep supporting your growth with even better updates ahead! :) GY Gale Y. GM Consumer Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Not business-friendly" July 9, 2025 1.0 Rigid Billing & Slow Support — Not Built for Real Businesses We were testing Fitbudd for potential rollout—but hit a technical issue early on. For nearly a full week, basic features weren’t working due to a bug on their end. That wasted valuable testing time. Once the bug was finally addressed, I asked if we could extend the trial or get a refund so we could properly evaluate the platform. Their response? “Billing is non-refundable.” No flexibility. No grace. Just copy-pasted policy. What made it worse was the slow overseas support—every reply took 24–48 hours. Even simple conversations stretched over days. That kind of support pace is unacceptable for any real business trying to make timely decisions. Despite it being clear that we were testing, and despite the platform not functioning correctly for a chunk of the trial, Fitbudd still processed a charge—and refused any consideration for a refund. This experience shows a complete lack of customer-first thinking. If you're a business that values responsiveness, transparency, or fairness—look elsewhere. You won't find it here. I'm sharing this to help others avoid the same mistake.Long delays in answers and support! Pros It was easy to sign up and get the trial activated, but that is the extent. They could be so much more with better focus on the customer. Cons Have to contact to cancel. Illegal! Not business-friendly. We tried Fitbudd but lost a week because level 1 support couldn’t explain why a key feature wasn’t available during the trial. Support was slow due to overseas delays, and when we asked for a refund or more test time, they flatly refused. Rigid billing, poor customer-first thinking. Not recommended for serious businesses. Review Source Response from FitBudd July 14, 2025 We’re sorry to hear about your experience. While we always strive to support our customers to the best of our ability, we do have clear refund and service policies in place, which we communicated transparently. Unfortunately, in this case, we could not accommodate unrealistic demands that went beyond what was agreed. We’re still happy to assist if there’s a constructive way forward.

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! We’re glad the onboarding and app setup process was smooth and that the dashboard has made client management easier. We appreciate your input on macro calculations and have shared it with our product team as we continue refining FitBudd. DK DECEE K.

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. Alternatives considered [Everfit](https://www.capterra.com/p/202837/Everfit/) Reason for choosing FitBudd Better user design for clients. Better price point for features.

Fitness Consultant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sign - up and don't think twice." August 15, 2025 5.0 Overall I would recommend FitBudd to literally every fitness professional looking to work with clients remotely Pros I like the option to have it branded with my logo. It adds an element that potential customers love. I really also enjoy the ease of use and customer service. Cons My least favorite thing about FitBudd also ties into my favorite thing about it. The customization. You get to (but also have to) customize every detail about it. It's a lot of work on the front end, but super worth it on the back end. Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) This app had way more ability to customize. Which is super important to me.

Pros Choosing FitBudd for my fitness platform was an easy decision. They streamlined the process of setting up my own app and provided outstanding tools to build client programs. They also provide great marketing advice on building your own fitness platform. Cons There have been no issues dealing with the professional staff and working with the product.

Certified Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love the app and the improvements and your commitment to growth" May 21, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been great and very empowering. I'm thankful for for this app and the growth the company is constantly focused on. I hope that these points I've made in this review served to improve in areas that will contribute to the apps continued excellence. Pros I love the open architecture and how complete the program is currently. I also love that it's constantly being improved as it has been for the last 2 years that I've been utilizing the program. Opening up new opportunities allow me to scale on the way that is productive for our Legacy Cons Not easy to access client information from anywhere other than messages or client list. I feel that if I have an appointment with a client, by clicking on the actual appointment I should be able to have more options than rescheduled and cancel. I should be able to also access the profile of the client. Anywhere that I could find the client's name should give me an option to access information. Also doing side by side comparisons especially for producing before and after documents is not a feature that you all excelled in. I'd recommend also partnering with a company like macro stacks. As it is there is no AI or any built-in mechanism to help automate nutrition in a way that will allow the client to be accountable if they're paying for the service Alternatives considered [CoachRx](https://www.capterra.com/p/253158/CoachRx/) Reason for choosing FitBudd Price and simplicity and scalability.

Customer service has always resolved my issues but not necessarily in a timely manner Pros Easy to use. Interface is friendly. Workout features have improved making I easier to create workouts.

They also have a great research and implementation team and some exciting releases upcoming. Pros I like how easy it is to navigate. Everything you need is right in front of you, making doing tasks like creating workouts or conducting check ins seamless. Cons Lack of AI integrations and experiences for the trainer and end user. Ideally I would like to see a little more on the client side - better and more seamless transitions and Ai assisting workouts like progress recommendations, total amount lifted etc. Switched from [Everfit](https://www.capterra.com/p/202837/Everfit/) I felt that Everfit was too difficult to use on the client management side and it wasn't intuitive enough to make things easier for the trainer.

It does the work and the Client's interface is very nice and smooth. Pros The ability to fully customize the clients nutrition plans is a winner, and the food database is pretty exhaustive.

I recently attended a webinar that they host regularly and I was inspired to be more proactive in getting the most out of the app. Pros Fitbudd has excellent customer support and they even recently implemented AI into the app that I suggested last year. I prefer Fitbudd over the other client training app on the market. Clients are always impressed when they use my app. Cons I wish I could see and do more from the coaching app but I can review check-ins and message my clients so those are the most important things.
