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.

Pros

The tracking feature is great, I love being able to easily show my clients their progress.
FitSW as been very attentive to my request for help as well as always wanting and using my input. They have also been great in showing me ways to use the software more effectively.
Overall, I have been very pleased. My clients love it and have commented it is easy to use and works great for them.

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.

Cons

Only happens sometimes with some exercises. But it is annoying to have to go back and find a video and relink it.
Also sometimes when removing a superset it will keep one of the exercises existed as a superset which is then stuck there and cannot been removed causing me too having too make a whole new programme.
We really need to insert client videos of our own to the library. And the names of the workouts are very hard to find/navigate.

Great app for personal Trainers

Reviewed 6 years ago

Been amazing. I used to write fitness program from my desk top on excel and email to my clients. But now I can just update the workout I like my clients to perform. This increases adherence and compliance. Keeps my clients motivated when I drop them a message from the app after they completed the workout. They know that I am always keeping tab of their.

Pros

I could easily select exercises from the library for my pt session on the go!

Cons

Client can’t book sessions from mobile app.

Great for Trainers

Reviewed 3 years ago

Great. Love it as a self-employed PT. Makes it really easy to manage clients and track their progress

Pros

Really easy to set up new users. Very useful for designing programs for people and the access for clients is easy for them to follow. The dashboard and achievements are a big pro

Cons

Could be more on the nutrition side of the app

Vendor response

Thank you for the feedback! We will be adding more features to nutrition next month. Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to see.

Pretty Good!

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

Once I had the web demo it was pretty easy to use. I like how you can pretty much keep all of the client info in one place and the exercise selection is great. The also like that clients can upload their before and after photos directly into the app because it gives them a sense of security over emailing or texting.

Cons

I do not like how when you create a live PT class, all other clients can see them. I wish there was a way for you to directly send your pt clients their live session OR for them to request the live session when they request their appointments. Food tracking is not great and music stops when the timer starts so integrating music would bring this app up to 5 stars.

Vendor response

Thank you for the feedback! We are adding a way for you to directly send your pt client a live session by the end of the month.

Complete and Affordable PT Software.

Reviewed 3 years ago

Has been a very useful tool to have whilst growing my business. To be able to adjust workouts and create custom templates that can be transferred between clients and tweaked has been very helpful. Would like to see some more slightly lesser known exercises added to the video demos, without having to film and add my own. Any issue that I've had so far have been responded to via support and addressed very swiftly. Have been recommending to anyone that had been asking about PT Software.

Pros

The software is very user friendly. Creating workout plans and daily tasks is very easy and efficient. My clients love that every exercise comes with a video demonstration, and I am able to attach detailed notes and descriptions to each exercise. Everything can be updated immediately. I offer my clients anytime adjustments so this is a very helpful feature to have. I like that I can see when a client has completed their workouts.

Cons

The nutrition side can be a bit overwhelming for clients. There are so many options for food items and sometimes the portion sizes are not in UK standard measurements, it would be nice to be able to select what measurement system to use. E. G. Metric/imperial. Have not really had a use for the tracking feature as it does feel slightly redundant as a PT who offers weekly feedback with the client.

Vendor response

Thank you for the feedback! We will be adding new nutrition features next month and plan to include unit options. Thank you for the feedback. Let us know if you have any other feedback.
