About Trainerize

Trainerize is a web and mobile personal training solution (Web + Mobile App + Apple Watch App) for health clubs, fitness professionals and their members (clients). Trainerize helps fitness clubs increase their revenue by streamlining member management and engagement functions as well as automating online program delivery.

The Trainerize mobile app helps fitness businesses build and offer workout schedules and meal plans, and set nutrition levels to help members reach their target weight or fitness goals. Fitness clubs or fitness professionals can build, save and print training plan templates, workout details and fitness targets in PDF format, then copy and further tailor these from client to client. An in-app messaging feature connects trainers directly with clients and helps fitness clubs to improve member retention rates and stimulate engagement.

Gamification features such as badges - awarded upon the achievement of personal bests - or in-app chat-like messaging help to increase client motivation, as well as engagement with the software. Clients are encouraged to share their achievements on social media which provides advertisement for the fitness club. Trainers can also group clients into groups and offer group training mixed with workout activity which is auto-published into groups.

Trainerize can be branded with a fitness club or trainer's logo and a personalized video can be included on the desktop login page and mobile app.

With in-app payments for automated subscription collection and a trainer marketplace, Trainerize also assists fitness professionals with new client acquisition by matching clients with trainers based on their profile, services, location and specialty. Trainers can add their certifications, qualifications, etc. to further enhance their Trainerize.me profile.

Trainerize offers a free 30-day, full feature trial.

A solid platform for virtual coaching and OPT

Overall Trainerize has been a positive experience - it has allowed me to create, build, and grow my virtual coaching business and greatly increase my earning potential.

Pros

I appreciate that they continue to add features and innovate. I also like the ability to create workout and program templates and copy it over to individual clients, with the ability to modify the workouts from there. The ability to add my own custom exercises is also pretty crucial.

Cons

I wish the payment system was easier to navigate, and I wish there was a way to add a one-time billed product while a client has an existing package running - currently I need to cancel the existing package, do the one-time billing item, then re-subscribe them to a recurring billing package. This is wildly inefficient and disruptive, but not an often-enough-needed feature that it causes major problems for me. I also wish I could modify program templates once assigned to a client.

Response from Trainerize

Hey Darrell!

Thanks for the review! We are so happy Trainerize has allowed you to increase your earning potential as a online personal trainer!

We definitely understand where you are coming from regarding Trainerize Pay. Our payments team is currently working on the best way to allow clients to purchase multiple products at at once. We will let you know as soon as we have a solution!

Overall good, Had many issues over last 12 months with program constantly crashing.

Reviewed on 2018/04/30

Pros

The functionality of the program.
The ease of use.
Ability to create full training programs including the ability to schedule up weeks in advance.

Cons

Doesn't work as well on Android compared to iPhone.
The older the phone to worse the program performs. I've tried two Android phones now both of the same age and Trainerize performance is decreasing.
- Samsung S5- App constanly crashes
-Motorolla - App is slow
I'm not in a position at the moment to get a new phone so I just have to persevere with it.

Can't record 'Drop Sets'

Need to include a complete nutrition section not out source it to another company that then has it's own fees. Check out what Virtuagym have done.

When I substitute an exercise for one that I've done before it will only show 3 sets option even if I know I've done 4 sets before and it won't display the previous weights recorded. I always have to add the extra set and check the history to see what was recorded. This doesn't happen on the iPhone.

-Ability to save a lot of time, as well as store everything in one central place.
-can now take on a much larger clientele base and train solely online - much better than old school excel spreadsheets and just simple email communication

Pros

Too many to type, but for sake of simplicity I'll pick the top three
-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 $$

Response from Trainerize

Hey Michael!

Wow - thank you SO much! We are so happy you love the app! The Master Programs feature and Trainerize Pay feature are some of our favourites too.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and features coming soon!

Overall extremely satisfied. We are very reliant on the Trainerize platform for our future coaching services.

Pros

It addresses most of the fitness programming and online coaching needs while allowing integration with other best in class platforms for an overall comprehensive system. (Still further to go, but the development team seems open to addressing these needs)

Cons

Well, it isn't perfect, and it isn't all things (but nothing is, so to be nit picky)
The big items are:
- the integrated pay system only allows one package or product, no add-on upsells to a pre-existing service
- there is not an integrated scheduling system (yet)
- we cannot assign Master program and a Custom program to a client

Response from Trainerize

Hey Rob!

Thank you for your review and feedback!

We are thrilled you think Trainerize is the best overall general fitness platform (we do too)!

Having two products at the same time is something we are looking into adding to Trainerize Pay. We will let you know as soon as we do!
