Direct communication with my trainer through the app has been a really valuable feature. Being able to receive personalized advice and adjustments in real time has made my training experience great I love this app
Pros
What I liked the most about this platform is the ease and comfort of being able to access my personalized training plan at any time and place. Being able to take my workout with me on my mobile device is really convenient and has helped me stay in shape even when I'm away from home or traveling.
Cons
Being a user I must say that one of the aspects that I liked the least about this platform is that it is a bit complicated to navigate at first. It took me a bit of time to get used to the organization and structure of the app.

I actually really liked the mobile app. Super well done and easy to communicate with clients on the go.
Cons
It’s not super smooth. The interface is a little clunky for users and could be a lot more simple and sleek.

Initially, this was a great tool when I started training in 2020. However, they have gotten progressively worse and have become borderline unusable since another company acquired them.
There are two main issues: client experience/support and lack of useful features.
I now spend a couple hours per week troubleshooting for clients due to issues with their account. This ranges from data being deleted to clients being unable to access their workouts.
In the beginning, Trainerize also emphasized new feature rollouts. However, recently they took months on a useless rebrand that offers no value. Meanwhile, they've failed to offer any meaningful upgrades like e1RM tracking or group workout tracking.
Sad to see a good product nosedive like this.
Pros
Very little at this point, although clients seem to like the modules.
Cons
Very buggy and lack of useful products, and pricing model.

Trainerize is the best there is as of now for online personal trainers
Reviewed on 2022/03/08
Pros
The exercises library is very extensive. It's very rare that we can't find what we need. Even then, we can add whatever exercise we need from an external source.
Cons
The ease of use on the client's side is not optimal. Often, we have to explain to clients certain functionalities. It is not as intuitive as it could be.

My overall experience with ABC Trainerize is that it is a very good app to utilize all our fitness and wellness in one place. You can also have a good communication with your coach. This app really sets both the client and the coach up for success.
Pros
What I like most about Trainerize is that you can have a full relationship with a coach/client all through the app. It is easy to use and has a lot of good features to utilize as a coach and client. It also links with several different tracking apps to track nutrition, weight and its nice to have all your information in one spot.
Cons
I don't really have any complaints about Trainerize or anything that I don't even like about it.

I have a love hate relationship. I enjoy it some of the days, but if I have a large meal with multiple things, it becomes difficult to track and go through all of the food. It would be great to have more basic options, vs only purchased food or meal from particular restaurants. What if someone makes a meal at home? Isn't there a standard size for a chicken parmagiana anywhere?
Pros
I enjoy the communication between myself and my trainer through the app. It helps motivate and make adjustments. I think that as I use this app, I learn to get better with it.
Cons
The standard preloaded messages from my trainer, I can tell it's not the person I typically work with. I don't love how it can be very difficult to change from 1 cup, to 1/2 a cup of whatever the food is that I'm eating.
My trainer has told me to track all of my food, the app doesn't make it easy for this.

Overall, an amazing and complete platform for both the personal trainer and client. Cleanly designed, easy to monitor and track things and a lot of customizability.
Pros
Amazing platform to connect personal trainers with clients. Helped the clients in tracking their workouts with ease while allowing the trainer to customize, manage and monitor the progress. We can track and monitor almost everything required to see the progress.
Cons
Nothing much bad with the platform. It's a premium and effective way to train and manage clients. The only thing that can be better is the pricing.

I overall enjoy ABS trainerize as both a coach and a client. As a client I can track my own progress but as a coach I can deliver customized 1:1 and group coaching which is perfect for an online business.
Pros
I love the addition of group bookings that has allowed me to offer more plans and services overall to increase my revenue.
Cons
You have to pay extra for a lot of basic features which makes the cost a bit higher for newer coaches.

Pros
The support to get everything set up was exceptional! I also like that we can use the app to train our clients rather than helping someone else's clients.
Cons
I think it's is overpriced for having a small amount of clients. The tier that I'm in is like 5-500 clients and it's $250/month. That's not bad if you have 100 clients, but when I have less than 10 on the app, it's expensive.

The customer service people that I have spoken with have all been very polite and respectful and were able to take care of what ever I needed at the time.
Pros
I believe that this is a great way to learn how to use online fitness software because it is very easy to use and they have a lot of great features to use to make the coaching experience easier.
Cons
Trainerize is a bit costly for what you get when you can get 10 - 15 clients for what it cost in the Trainerize basic package. The trainerize me website is so cluttered with multiple profiles which are not from the area your looking for its difficult to figure out what you want and many of these profiles have multiple spots take up on the website. Most of these trainers also don't have any listed certifications or experience in fitness which creates ethical concerns for the platform.

My overall experience has been very positive. It's very easy to program for individuals and groups, communicate, see progress, give nutritional help, and charge/track services. I recommend it to any trainer looking for an online platform.
Pros
I really like how there are video demos of all the exercises - and if there is not an exercise in the list that fits what you are looking for, you can use a YouTube video and create your own. It's user friendly to the clients as well, and they can track their progress in various ways. They can track their weights used for each exercise, refer to weight they have used for that exercise in the past, and then when they finish a workout, the app tells them if they have set a new personal best (and it tells me too!). I was also able to upload nutrition information and set macro goals, and see their progress if they link My Fitness Pal. I also appreciate how I get a push notification when a client completes a workout, sets a personal best, or messages me - eliminating the need to constantly open the app for updates. It sends them reminders to do their workouts as well.
Cons
I feel like it took me about a month to figure out how to create workouts and have them appear to the client how I wanted them to. There are also features for the client that I don't think they are aware of, and would be helpful if there was a mini tutorial they could go through when they get started (tracking weights, substituting an exercise, etc.) I also had one client who said she had to take the app off her phone because it was slowing things down/wasn't working - but that could have been an issue with the phone.

Highly Recommended To Try At Least! Trials not gonna cost you anything- just make sure whenever you’re doing a trial period, plan a few action steps of what you want to explore with the app beforehand. That’s how most trial periods just stay on phones after the download and we should give way more credit to everyone developing these platforms :)
Pros
The relatively easy “plug & play” app that plays a vital role in elevating and improving the standard of health/wellness globally. In comparison with other similar platforms in the market, this would and should be a natural choice for anyone wanting an accountability partner included to however one has designed your life. It manages to eliminate the fear of starting a business from scratch, and has a range of different metrics, features, scheduling , support and even scaling on an existing client if anyone decides to do so.
This is certainly a platform I’d recommend to anyone whether be it a business or personal interest in improving their overall management of this particular area in life. Thank you!
Cons
To be honest, there are tons of areas that can be further improved. However, this has served well enough with its current functionality and like any experience with anything that works, it only works if you do. So far, I’m happy with the limited features of the app and nothing that concerning has become an area of dislike.

great starter software for online personal trainers
Reviewed on 2022/05/05
Pros
Trainerize is probably the most affordable option for new trainers. Programming and PROGRESSING workouts is easy enough, as well as organizing your exercise video library. It has a great messaging system and integrates into a lot of other products like Apple Watch, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, Slack, and they keep adding more. The client gets a daily to-do list with all the things you programmed such as workouts, habits, tracking, cardio, and nutrition.
Cons
Although you can create program templates that include workouts, messages, and measurements.... I wish you could "stack" program templates. For example, give a few clients the same workout program but pick and choose which messages get automatically sent (or reschedule ONLY the messages for example). And although Trainerize offers a lot of integrations, I wish they had a membership portal with forms built in. (like PTDisctinction offers)

-Ability to save a lot of time, as well as store everything in one central place.

Pros

-Programs feature which allows you to store pre-made programs and copy them out, or add subscriber
-groups feature, which is great for increasing social motivation and something special that the app offers
-It's integration with new payments that has incorporated automation aspects that will allow us trainers to create a program and then simply "let it run" and not more work is needed on our end if we set it up properly; just need to collect the $$

Helps me stay organized with programming and client communication. I can stay on top of all my clients without going nuts or spending too much time. Clients are always impressed with the professional structure Trainerize gives my business, and they love keeping track of how many workouts they've completed, receiving messages for their Personal Bests, etc. A simple feature that goes a long way in client retention! I can't say enough good things about Trainerize. In the 2 years I've been a customer, I've seen them listen to customer suggestions and put them into action. The app has grown and developed exponentially in 2 years, which makes me look forward to every update they make. If you're a trainer, and you're not using Trainerize, you're missing out on a system that will make you more efficient and professional with your programming and client connection.
Pros
Beautiful interface. Progress charts. Keeps track of clients' progress on specific lifts in specific workouts. Easy client communication.
Cons
I can't access my workout templates from the APP - I have to open a client's profile for that. I can't change/update training plans of multiple clients at once - having to go one by one is really time consuming.

I mainly use Trainerize for my one-on-one clients. Before starting with Trainerize two years ago I would easily spend 2+ hours per day writing up client's workouts in notebooks. It took away time from my family, and limited time I would be able to use meeting with clients. Now it doesn't take me more than a half-hour per day to program. I use a tablet to track my clients throughout the day, and it has greatly streamlined my business! Trainerize also uses easy ways to schedule and progress entire macro or mezo cycles at once, and copy plans from client to client!
Pros
I love what my clients love. They love being able to track and reference back to their workouts. They love having videos and instructions on how to do exercises when I'm not around. The app gives them a direct connection to me to answer questions. And I can help motivate and keep my clients accountable though check-ins and goal tracking.
Cons
The system doesn't work the greatest with android devices. Also, if I am training more than one person at a time I have to have a separate device for each person.
