ABC Trainerize vs PT Distinction Comparison

It’s easy to use. I like the payment process.

They don’t have some features that PT Distinction has. .

I like that it serves well as a nutritional coaching software AND workout programming/ PT software.

I wish the software had some more features on the nutrition side of things (like tracking micronutrients i.e. fiber/ sugar/ sodium). Also wish there was a way to run reports and export data to CSV. Would be very helpful.

The ease of use for me and my clients. I like how you can track the progression of each client. The new pay system within the app is a fantastic addition.

It would be nice if a branded app could be included free with the purchase of the software or at less seriously discounted if you purchase any plan for 15 people and above.

With a background in nutrition and PT, I had limited exposure to this software as a student. It was easy to use.

At ties it was glitchy with messages but that's minor.

As a new PT the software makes it easy to load clients and their programmes. Clients enjoy the ease of the functions too.

The mobile so could have nore features which are available on the main desktop site I.e. importing a Master Programme/workout to clients.

The people that are behind the project. The customer service is phenomenal and you can tell that they really care about producing the best quality app possible.

Still feels a bit 'unfinished', but it is obvious that they are working to add new features every week. Really wished some features were a bit more fleshed out, but over-all, it's still a good product.

With Trainerize we have a wide range of features that allows to manage clients, workout plans. habits, a several other metrics either being a single PT, gym owner or boutique studio. The delivery automations are a plus to alow scaling, and the branded app addon is quite inexpensive.

The pricing can become a bit high in the beginning if you need several paid addons such as integration of payments wich give us a fee on top of the processors fee, on demand video coaching , Advanced nutrition and branded app. Also is only available in English.

I like that you keep updating it and making it better so that it stays in line with your competitors.

I'm struggling to think of something. I think you changed it so that now I have to use the calendar to copy a programme from a current client to a profile which I am currently logged into......... but in the past there was an option to do this in the clients 'training programme' section. I'd like to have that back. (I think you can only add a brand new programme now when in the training section) I'd also like to be able to schedule messages to people so that on day x they'll recieve a message. I know there is an option to do a few of these at the beginning but I'd like to be able to schedule a lot of these running over the course of a 6 month programme. A bit like PT distinction and also another software called coachcatalyst (previously habitcatalyst)

Hey Daniel! Thank you for your review and feedback! We are so happy Trainerize fits your style of programming! Good news, we now have program auto messaging! You can set up auto messages in your clients programs for specific days. Feel free to check out help.trainerize.com for more info! - Team Trainerize

It's easy to use for myself and my clients

Nothing really! All the features of Trainerize suit my needs well.

Easy to use and great tool.

Some small bugs like make it frustrating.

Ease of use for clients, newer updates on the mobile app are nicer.

Creating programs and any kind of scheduling on the calendar is not user friendly.They do not like feedback.Simple things that would make life easier on the coach like drag and drop to move workouts around a monthly calendar and add tracking items/ habits to a monthly calendar or atleast having the calendar in the same view as when you're adding workouts, habits, tracking etc to the clients calendar would make life oh so much easier.As it is you have to constantly check go back or refresh the calendar on a separate tab to double check and reference what you're doing.This has made me make many mistake in scheduling for clients.

Hi Josh, I'm pleased your clients are enjoying the app and find it easy to use. Have you seen our latest updates? Among other things, these include a month view and year view of the calendar. Any item can be dragged and dropped from one day to another. Was there anything else you found difficult?

Integration with other platforms such as MyFitnessPal makes life so much easier as you only need to use this platform for all of your clients nutrition and training programs. Also creating groups and setting up the time released forms and assessments to go out to every client you add into the group saves a coach so much time!!!!

it is a little bit confusing to navigate at first but once you get the hang of it it becomes fairly easy to use.

Hahaha, thank you for the fantastic review Keron. Can't believe Capterra let you say "PT Distinction literally dumps on any fitness platform out there" but I love it!!

The feature that has been a game changer for me is the email automation you are able to set up in PT Distinction as a group and you can time it for when you want it to go and to which clients. This means I can focus more the deliverables for the clients as I only needed to set that up once something I was unable to do using Trainerzie for example.

I think the exercise library could be bigger, the fitness assessments aren't the most user friendly for clients (it would be okay if they were with their coach or PT in the gym as the coach would have all the tech) but they aren't any videos or explanation for clients on how they should do each test that's why I have removed it from my onboarding process which is a shame because one of the problems in my niche (amputees) is posture. So if you could improve that part of the tech that would be awesome. Another problem is the measurements part of the software one of my clients had to input data on say 14 Nov and then change the date for it to be log - probably an easy fix if it were in the same place as progress pictures.

I have used a few platform such as trainerize and truecoach Personally i find this the most functional, easiest to use and it delivers a very pleasant experience It has many great features such as setting up a group allowing you to send new things to all my clients at once, set schedules, upload my own files and many more.

I wish i could pre-set exercises when editing them to add measurements such as kgs and reps I also wish we could create a coaching text for weekly catch up that clients can answer without external source such as google forms.

PTD has a lot of capabilities and integrations.

I wish that I had more good things to say about PTD. We made the switch from Trainerize to create an overall more integrated experience for our clients -- I was drawn to PTD only for the google sheets integration which is big for our client delivery - however PTD has many issues 1.) The UI looks very old and looks as though it hasn't been updated in years. It's slow - to me it looks like something...
