Pros
I really like all the features of it and the flexibility is awesome. Especially all the automation possibilities are perfect for building and scaling your (online) fitness business.
How easy it is to use for myself which saves me lots of time. My clients find it very easy to use as well so it's a win win.
Everyone was very helpful and the support and education they have in place now is the best. They have a great community with users that are always willing to help each other.
Cons
I switched over from MyPTHub because I was having a horrible experience with them.
The app freezes and clients lose their workout tracking when their phone locks - PTD blames user error but this never happened with trainerize.
The lack of responsibility that they seem to take in tackling this very clear BUG does not sit well with me. The search feature in the mobile app does not work period.

Progress for your clients health and your business

Reviewed 2 years ago

I like the App since it give me control over my clients progression. There are several tools that my clients use daily to keep focus on their own progression.

Pros

The ability to use statistics and charts to review client results and the ability to give immediate feedback to a single client or to a group of clients. I also find it very easy to set up workout programs or swap a single exercise inside a clients program.

Cons

The message function needs to be improved. I have to go out and back in again to read new messages sometimes.

Game-Changer, Life-saver, The core of my business

Reviewed 2 years ago

Phenomenal. I love the responsiveness of the team. within 24h they get back to me, every single time. The software definitely has a learning curve, but they have shortened it dramatically with their PTD ninja courses, and it has made my quality of work so much better.

Pros

I can't begin to count the number of hours this software saves me, and allows me to free up an incredible amount of time, so that I'm able to spend more time working with my clients, and less time on menial administrative functions. It makes the entire process so easy, to the extent I can (and have) clients sign up from my website, submit payment, and start into my programs before I ever have personal contact with them. I never have to worry about my clients being taken care of, because of how this software allows me to create multiple touchpoints for my clients over the course of a week, without me having to always be connected to it.

Cons

Well, since the upgraded, updated Android app, I'm pretty much over the moon. If I was to have 1 feature that I wish could exist, I would like it to have a more robust CRM, in particular, email tracking of opens and link clicks. But really, that would just be the icing on top.

Vendor response

Thank you for the incredible review Jonathan. We're happy PT Distinction saves you so much time and helps you ensure your clients are always taken care of.

Dissapointed

Reviewed a year ago

I have use PtD for years and have never felt 100% comfortable with it. From my end (as a coach) it was great , very very good as it is so powerful but but for my clients the app is too "clinical" and it's not very user friendly, I had to make a video for absolutely everything I wanted to get my clients to do as it wasn't very intuitive. In the past 6 months the software has become even more unusable...

Pros

The software is super powerful, it can literally do anything but you need a degree to be able to use it

Cons

Client side the software is clunky and too "busy" too much going on and not enough customisation

Best PT software out there

Reviewed 2 years ago

Customer service has always been top notch, very glad that android has finally caught up. Keep it up!

Pros

The customization of the software is great, you can make it your own and on the client side its come a long way. Putting your own custom workouts in is great, and any PDFs, coaching videos etc is really handy.

Cons

Certain features I feel could be worked on. The schedule was always a little buggy for me so I stopped using it a while back - would be good if clients could use it to put in non-scheduled workouts. The adherence chart is a good idea but IMO needs to look more like a calendar than a daily tick sheet. Food diary is OK but would be better if MFP could work through it (So I just use it separately) Also the ability to take these out of view, rather than just have an empty section.

Vendor response

Thank you Luke. Lots of good news for you... - You can integrate MFP, in fact we have the most complete integration of My Fitness Pal of any software! - Clients can also add items to their schedule by going to the schedule and clicking Add. - The schedule should be perfect so if you've had an issue there please let us know and we'll check out your set up for you. - The adherence chart...

Completely Re-Shaped My Life

Reviewed 2 years ago

I was planning on setting up with PT Distinction a long time ago, but never got round to it. Then the CoVID19 pandemic forced my hand, and I can honestly say - it's the greatest business decision I've ever made. Not only has it allowed my clients to actually thrive during the lockdown, and allowed me to support them mentally and physically throughout - it's given me a balance in my life that I never thought possible with the number of clients I have. Completely life changing.

Pros

The ability to educate and empower my athletes, along side programming. It's not just about giving the clients exercises, but being able to actively COACH them throughout the whole process is a game changer.

Cons

I would like a little more versatility when it comes to personalising the coaching points for individual exercises. Each exercise has coaching points in text format and video formatting - which is brilliant. But having a section on the prescription of each movement (the same place you have the sets, reps, load, time etc.) where you can personalise and prescribe the unique execution for that individual. For example - "focus more on biasing weight distribution through your heels" during the squat - would be an absolute game changer for me.

Vendor response

Thank you for the amazing review Jonathon, I'm so happy PT Distinction has had such a big impact on your clients coaching and on your life. Regarding individualising exercise descriptions for specific clients you can do this in the program builder by clicking the 3 dot menu on an exercise and selecting exercise settings, any edits to the description here will only show in the program you are currently building and not across all clients.
