Exercise program And data storage
It was very easy to create my business profile. I can be confident that my clients can easily access their nutrition and workout plan on the go, track everything and stay connected with me all in one place.
I don't have any paying clients at the moment, so paying monthly without revenue, kinda sucks.
I needed a platform to be able to train clients remotely, and this is the answer.
I love that they are continuously adding new features and making improvements to various aspects of the app. My clients are always commenting on how well the app looks and how simple it is to use too.
There hasn't really been anything I've disliked, possibly the only downside is the fact that the price is based on how many client accounts you can have, but it hasn't bothered me that much.
It's enabling me to better communicate with my clients and deliver training programs easily whether in person or online. This has meant that the service I deliver is the best it can be
Easily organize & manage routines and workouts, and very efficient at tracking efforts. Even saves partially saved workouts until you reload the app, which is very time saving for anyone who accidentally forgets to save their workout at the end or accidentally closes the app
having to enter every set seperately, wishing it could pre-populate or have a way to enter repeat data like reps or weights used each set.
Personal and client results are much faster, more accountability and ease of tracking programs and weights makes that almost automatic
I really can't say enough good things about trainerize. It's allowed me to build and scale a successful coaching and training business in a really manageable way. The client communication is seamless and the habit adding and nutrition components are an invaluable resource.
Just need more exercise options in the workout builders and can have glitches with the custom app branding
The ability to scale my business and still reach each client with the same level of attention
Being able to customize the app with our own branding has been incredible! Also the ease of customizing workouts, writing programs ahead of time, and importing them into client's programs is unmatched. Love the client chat feature and the ability to add in habits and macros are so great. I cant recommend this app enough for trainers and coaches!
Glitches are the only thing I could complain about with Trainerize. The features themselves are incredible but I suppose with all the features comes bugs and issues.
The ability to take on more clients around the world and coach them all seamlessly through one app, and the ability to integrate Zoom sessions, calls, and bootcamps!
I have been using Trainerize since 2019 and I am beyond proud of the growth that they put into their company year-over-year. It doesn't matter what the feedback is, Trainerize takes it back to the table and finds a way to integrate it into a more convenient user experience. They are quick in their responses to contact, they have reasonable package prices, they have packages for everyone, and overall, a seamless service to use for any tech level.
I don't have any large dislikes. When you're using a platform service like this, you will only be able to have so much leniency in setup/features. Trainerize is kind enough to utilize all of its client feedback to continually grow its service.
Trainerize allows me to provide a professional, personalized, and seamless coaching experience for my clients. Allowing clients to have access to a trainer at their fingertips allows for a higher client success rate. Between my success as a business and my clients amazing results, I have a lot to thank Trainerize for!
I like how flexible it is and that it is easy to use, navigate and download.
I don't think I have something I don't like about this app.
Trainerize helps me manage my clients, their calendars and exercises
Trainerize has made my life as a trainer so much easier! Program design for my online and in person clients has never been so simple! If I'm away, my clients are able to access their workouts and the app will respond for me if I can't. Also, with the online group training I can now train multiple people at one time!
The group online training sometimes doesn't work. The workout will be scheduled on the app but won't allow me to open the session. I would love for this to be fixed!
The app has solved multiple problems for me. The ability to to talk to my clients all at once, adding group training via live video (instead of using zoom), &adding a fitness tracker!
I can manage my business whether online or in person clients and easily keep track of their data and progress. I have been using Trainerize over 2 years and I appreciate that they have continued to progress and make improvements.
There seems to be a lot of beneficial add ons but can become pricey.
Trainerize helps me manage all my clients whether in person or online very easily. Helps save me a lot of time when creating programs and nutrition for multiple clients.
User-friendly for both ends, PTs and client. Great Add-ons including customised app service, nutrition meal recommendations, payment links. Affordable offers.
There isn't a negative thing I can think of except the choice to coaches to specify the calorie for each meal prescribed to clients
It helps me automate the workout plans for ny clients, design workout plans, upload my own private exercise videos
Easy way to setup clients programs, macro split easy to deliver in advance and automation is the best thing to work smart!
Cannot customize exactly the macros when u use smart meal plan
In person appoitments and online coaching business delivery
Programming workouts!!! It is super easy.
I honestly don't dislike anything about trainerize.
Scheduling & organization. I can do everything straight from the software. No separate sheets or calendars.
I love that Trainerize reminds my clients of what their key goals are, and what habits they're working on. Aside from having all the features I could want, with meal tracking, goals, workouts, messaging... it's great that the app is there for my clients, working for me, encouraging them and helping them stay on track during the week.
I find it a bit odd that the app messages my clients as though it is me messaging them. The messages are pretty good - my clients seem to think that it's me, but it's not the same as if it were really me.
Trainerize brings everything together into one place in a way that motivates my clients to stay engaged. Everything is there, their schedule, documents, workouts. It makes it much easier for me.
It's great for clients and user friendly!
There are some growing pains as they add features but it's to be expected!
It solves a huge admin problem of keeping client information in one spot accessible from anywhere. Let's me stay organized.
The member-facing dashboard and customer support have been two areas of strength for Trainerize. The ability to have the application store data from wearables and other integrated apps has been a strength as well. Keeping the member experience as simple as possible has been apparent.
Working with a cohesive team of trainers and professionals and not having the ability to "share" clients between staff members has been a point of frustration, along with the calendar functionality - would like to have an opportunity for shared calendars and easier booking functions for staff members.
Trainerize allows for our gym to provide training programs in a variety of ways, both in 1-on-1 and group settings along with virtually. It allows for our staff to be creative with program delivery and logging health/fitness data to allow for a simple member experience in one place.
It's very user friendly, efficient and enjoyable to use. Even my tech-illiterate mum can navigate it with easy.
Would love to have the ability to send clients a link of different product options to choose from.
The ability to send my clients training programs from anywhere in the world knowing that they will be able to navigate it with ease.
I love how I can add all of my favorite recipes and share them with my clients. I also, love that I can provide the macronutrients in every meal. That way if my clients follow the recipe they don't have to track it.
The only dislike I have is not having Samsung capability. I love that there is Apple and FitBit, but some of us are Android users! I was pleased when Google Fit was available for a few days.
I no longer have to make google documents or notes for workouts and recipes. I love having everything virtually. Also, it helps with scheduling and staying organized.
I love how easy it was to get set up and learn to start supporting clients right away - from creating an on demand membership to creating challenges to supporting clients 1 x 1. Habit tracking is probably one of my favourite parts of the app (my clients too)
There are some tiny features that would be nice to have and some further customization but they are very open to feedback and helping to find work arounds.
I previously had a web-based membership and moved over to Trainerize which allowed me to automate so much more- saving me hours, if not days of time every month.
Clean, slick, and professional. The customer user experience is so smooth and my clients love it.
Lack of control for branding options. I just would like to make certain adjustments with colors and verbiage being used based on my business model.
Customer experience and how I deliver my services. Trainerize provides such a phenomenal platform for us to use and the features are amazing.
My favorite thing about this software is the speed at which it evolves. When I first checked out Trainerize a while ago, I wasn't impressed, but just 2 years later, I see it has the potential to knock down MBO as the leading software for coaches finally. I love the idea page and how we can vote on it and stay up to date. I love how they're rolling out new things quickly. I just appreciate that they take feedback and then do something with it FAST,
Can't really say much here. I came on thru yalls partnership with gym launch so I didnt take your traditional onboarding. Ive left gym launch and kept trainerize and Im currently going through the original onboarding and I'm happy with it.
I need it to make client tracking for my coaching staff super easy and clear.
The ability to monitor all my clients on my phone or computer. Not only monitor you can create and add workout for your clients.
I can’t think of anything. They have made some huge improvements.
Keeping an eye on all device inputs help me understand what my client is doing in a 24 hour period. Constant communication!!!
- variety of workout types (interval is my favorite) - ability to upload my own exercise videos - auto messages, in programs - integrations with Garmin and apple - customizable habits - stackable programs
- can't edit text of existing auto messages, have to copy, paste, edit and then delete the old message - can't figure out how to copy part of one workout into another workout - can't have loop video playing for my custom exercises - can't do a text search of recipes in the Discover tab - start timer for timed exercise is too small on the app, easy to miss it. - can't schedule group messages or schedule group WODs. - app login screen doesn't remember my username and password. Can't even pick it up from apple keychain or other password apps. - reps and weights in workouts on the app should be prefilled with last reps and weight so you can just adjust up or down from there (like on the Apple Watch app)
Allowing me to offer training plans as well as nutrition and habit coaching all in one place.
The best of Trainerize APP is the convenience and simply to use in all things. It's so intuitive and everyone can use with efficacy since the first moment to sign in.
In my personal situation, the language. Not for me, but yes for my clients. I'm from Spain and most of my clients are spanish too, so for someone it's difficult to understand because their english level is so bad... But at the same time, with some education they can use the app very well.
For me it's to have only one place where I can do everything that I need for my training business. The organization of everything it's the principal benefit for me, I have all in the same place and it's very easy to use all of them
We like that we have complete control of workouts, programs and we can easely comunicate with our clients. The app is developing all the time and new features come from time to time. The customer service is very helpful.
Some clients have problem with the speed of the app and sometimes the app freeze when they send messages or post in the group. Another great thing would be a posibility to connect the app with our google ads account to measure the conversions.
It has an automated payment method and that is very helpful. Another great thing is that you have tags in the app and tht helps you a lot when you have a lot of clients with different needs.
Our trainers love how easy it is to write programs and track their client's progress. As a club, Trainerize opened up new revenue streams beyond in-person personal training.
There are very few downsides, to be honest. There is the occasional hiccup in the app, but those are rare. We are looking forward to additional nutrition coaching features.
Trainerize has helped our trainers deliver a better training experience. As a trainer, having all your client's programs and workouts at your fingertips is incredible. We can also offer things like workout subscriptions and member challenges that would be difficult to do without Trainerize.
This app has it all: demo videos; custom branding; communication automation; API integrations; data-tracking; new feature suggestions; customer payments; habit tracking; etc.
My clients and I use MyFitnessPal to track diet and weight control. Although Trainerize integrates with MyFitnessPal, we still need to input daily weight in both.
This app is great for virtual/remote personal training, nutrition planning/coaching, or in-person training. After setting everything up for my personal trainer to coach me, he brought on other clients and we started a business!
Easy to use software for the coach to put together training programs and manage lifestyle factors. The group coaching is also very easy with this software. I liked this product more so than some of the other competitors- it had everything I was needing
Some things that I would like to see improved is the ability to make exercise progressions within a program standard. Daily readiness questionnaires for the clients. And just continually improvement on making the backend website easier for coaches
Delivering training virtually to clients. Has helped me out so much in creating a good product that I can give to clients.
I love the fact I can use this on my Apple Watch and not need to carry a phone!
There's nothing I can find that I don't like about this app!
It allows me to work independently and communicate with a trainer!
