ABC Trainerize Reviews

Tracking capabilities for my clients and myself. Easily accessible from both ends. Very customizable. Constant tweaks and new new features.

A little buggy when I first started using it about 4 years ago but it's been constantly tweaked and fixed.

The ability to schedule messages, workouts, check ins, and progress photos is easy and intuitive.

The built-in exercise options are lacking, and some of them are just unsafe exercises altogether.

Hi Jameson! Thanks for reaching out, We're glad that you have enjoyed Trainerize so far! You can also send us suggestions on how the built-in exercise feature should look like: https://ideas.trainerize.com/forums Stay tuned for more exciting updates! Best,

The programs are easy to build, and the progression builder is very helpful for building out multiple week programs with overload.Client onboarding is simple, and you have the ability to customize intake forms, messages, etc.Easy to add your own exercises with videos. Built in library is extensive.Easy to make supersets and add rest periods.

When it comes to nutrition coaching, I've yet to find ANY app that works as well as the google sheets I created. There's no history of what the previous week's macros were. The app doesn't let you select a calorie level and then autopopulate the macros, you have to input macros until you get to the calories you want. There's no way to select a protein requirement (i.e. 0.8g/lb, 1g/lb, 1.2g/lb etc)...

It was somewhat easy to navigate and had good customer service.

NO group reporting for the challenge groups and no live training features in the app

Hi Karla, Thank you so much for your review and feedback! We are so happy you like the ease of navigating with Trainerize and our Customer Service as well! Good news! We are currently in the process of developing an in-app live-streaming workout feature many more exciting things! (habits, workout of the day, appointments) Stay tuned! :) - Team Trainerize

Easily drop in YouTube videos. Creating master programs is amazing because you can copy and customize templates easily. The mobile app seems to be easy for clients to use. I like the advanced progression capabilities, its easy to change reps and sets, and descriptions on one screen.

I am a climbing coach, so the layout of exercises and drills doesn't work as well in Trainerize since each drill needs more detail and some need extra video support. The customization of this could be better. The calendar feature could be better.

Hey Mercedes! We are thrilled you like using Trainerize to create programs with our Master Programs feature! Thanks for your feedback regarding adding more detail to workouts and improving the calendar feature. Could you email us (help@trainerize.com) with more information on what you would like the features to look like? We would love to learn more! - Team Trainerize

Trainerize made it extremely easy to schedule and manage client programs with built in exercise videos and instruction and plug and play capability. Clients found it intuitive and easy to use the app and get trained this way and it increased compliance as well.

The software was a bit bulky to use with a high amount of clients and otherwise, there was not much nutritional functionality offered besides integration with MyFitnessPal which did help a lot. No major complaints however, the software works really well for use.

Trainerize give your everything you need to run a successful online fitness training business, from programming, to uploading your own content, to payments, to messaging features. Everything you need if in one place!

I would love to see Trainerize add a built-in document signing feature for clients so that they can sign waivers and training agreements in the app as well. This is the only feature missing that I have to use an outside service for.

The app is easy to use for my clients. Workouts are easy to set up. Trainerize is always trying to update the app and make things easier for the trainer.

They did change how to upload your personal YouTube videos. Now you need the URL, where before you could check a box and it would upload. Used to be easier.

Hey Jani! Thanks for your amazing feedback! We are super glad that you are enjoying the ease of navigating with the App! In regards to uploading Youtube videos. We improved this tool, allowing trainers to batch import videos! If you have any questions, reach out to our Trainerize Coaches at help@trainerize.com and they will be happy to assist you. Stay tuned for more exciting updates -Team Trainerize :)

I like that it’s accessible on a cell phone. I like that it manages and delivers everything I need to create great programming for my clients.

It’s a kettle heavy for my phone and takes some time to load.

Hey Ryan! Thanks for submitting your feedback! We love that you find the app easy and able to deliver workouts efficiently. Good News! We've just updated the App! So make sure to update to the latest version of Trainerize! Yes! We are always trying to make our app even better, so stay Tuned for more exciting updates! - Team Trainerize

I most like the ease at which I can personalize the training for my clients. They are all in what is considered special populations. I can use prepared workouts, edit them, create my own and even add my own videos easily with no additional cost. And it's all private.

None of the Trainerize videos are done by women.

Hey Mary, Thanks for submitting your feedback! We're thrilled that Trainerize App has helped you to offer an amazing personalized client experience to your clients! Good news! We are currently working on shooting female workouts videos. If you have any other questions, reach out to our Customer Service at help@trainerize.com Stay tuned for more exciting updates! -Team Trainerize

I have been using Trainerize for over 3 years. It has helped me build my business. Being a personal trainer my wife and I were able to move everything online vs in a gym. Freeing us to train more people and in less time. We can create programs, see the client's activity level, see how often they are working out. Trainerize also has a built-in messenger which is great since it is separated from our personal text messaging. I looked into and tried other programs similar to Trainerize but Trainerize, in my opinion, was so much better than the competition. Not to mention my ideas were heard on improvements to make and things to change. They are always coming out with updates and making things better.

I don't really have many complaints about Trainerize. Typically if I had a problem with the software or needed something to be done that it could not currently do, then the developers would work with me on making those improvements. It has been amazing to see the updates they have come out with since I started with them. They really want the user and client experience to be great and they want you to be successful!

Hey Jorden! Thank you SO much! We are so excited Trainerize has helped you build your online fitness business and that you love our in-app messaging feature! Stay tuned for even more exciting updates! - Team Trainerize

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.

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.

Hey Greg! Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled Trainerize has helped you streamline your fitness business! I wanted to let you know we are getting close to releasing a brand new version of the Trainerize app. This is a project we've invested over a year in (rebuilding the app from the ground up) and will definitely improve the overall performance and stability of the app (on Android phones etc)! - Team Trainerize

Beautiful interface. Progress charts. Keeps track of clients' progress on specific lifts in specific workouts. Easy client communication.

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.

Wow - thank you SO much Ana! We appreciate your review and are so happy you love the Trainerize interface! Regarding having more functionality on the mobile app, I can definitely pass your feedback on to the development team for review! - Team Trainerize

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

I love everything about the App. From my management of the business to what my clients are able to use when training.

My only complaint is to make using the Zappa easier. I've had a difficult time connecting all the systems together and stopped using them all Together.

Hey Stacy! Thank you!! We are so happy Trainerize has helped you manage and run your successful fitness business! Feel free to reach out to help@trainerize.com with any Zapier questions. One of our coaches would be happy to help answer them for you! - Team Trainerize

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!

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.

I’ve been with Trainerize since 2014. They’ve come along ways since the beginning. I have full faith that they will continue to improve their product.

There is no offline tracking. Last time I checked, I cannot make a customized (master) program via app. To use the software properly you HAVE to use BOTH a computer (desktop website) and the app. It’s near impossible to use the desktop website on a tablet or phone.

Hey Natalie! Thank you for taking the time to review us and provide feedback! It's great to see you've been with us all this time and recognize that we always have and will continue to strive to make Trainerize better for our customers. We appreciate your feedback regarding offline tracking, we've brought this up with our Development Team and will let you know if we make any changes in the future. Stay tuned for more exciting releases and updates :) - Team Trainerize

The #1 reason I love this app and training software, they’re ALWAYS looking for improvements. I’ve been using the software to train my clients for 4 years now and the Trainerize team has made HUGE improvements in the software. They’re constantly making it better and more effective. I’ve never been disappointed with their feature add ons or updates.

There are times my app is slow on my phone. This can be extremely frustrating when I’m trying to keep in contact with my clients and communicate with them.

Hey Brittany! Thank you for your review and feedback! We are so happy Trainerize is your online training software of choice. In regards to the speed of the app on your phone, can you email help@trainerize.com? We can fix that for you! Stay tuned for even more exciting updates and new features :) - Team Trainerize

This software is fantastic! I have been a user for the past 7 years and I love it. It makes my life as a coach much easier and way more organized. My clients also enjoy all features such training programs with videos and instructions as well as meal plan with food tracking. Most client connect trainerize with their apple watch and have everything in one place. I noticed my clients and even me are way more accountable to each other and especially those who work online with me.

There’s anything I would sayI don’t like. There’s no app is perfect and sometimes you need to ensure you have the app updated to see changes in your plan. Trainerize is constantly improving and bringing new features.

I like having all clients in one spot vs. worrying about individual files. I use Trainerize for both online and in-home clients. My clients love following the workouts and they are easy on my end to put together. I also like the option of tracking progress through photos, measurements and weight. It really steps up the accountability for clients. I've used the software for three years and they've continued to listen to trainers' ideas and improved it more and more. It is a necessity in my business!

I wish they would incorporate healthy habits into the app. I have worked around it though by making habits as "workouts" to still allow clients to check in on them daily.

Hey Natalie! Wow, thank you so much! We are thrilled Trainerize is a necessity for your business and helps keep your clients accountable! Good news - we are coming out with out a new Habit Tracking Feature in the Fall of 2019! Stay tuned! - Team Trainerize

We experimented with many other products until one late night I was fed up and searched for an application that did all of the things we needed it to do in one place. I some how found Trainerize and have not turned back since. We can effectively manage client programs while keeping engagement and motivation high. The automation features make things a lot easier. Our clients live in the app. Those that engage with it the most have had the best results.

Some of the features on the dash are hard to interpret from the coaching side and the tagging features are a little bulky.

Hey Josylin! WOW - thank you so much for your review and kind words! We're thrilled to know that you like the Trainerize App and that our client-engagement features helped you in your business! Good news, our marketing team is currently working on some great "how-to" and educational videos that will be coming out soon!

This means that you can give us a call or ask your questions on our live chat whenever it is convenient for you! We are available at 9:00-5:00 PST. :) -Team Trainerize - Team Trainerize

Ease of use: very easy to manage clients, programs, copy workouts. Huge selection of workout videos if you don't want to spend time creating your own. YouTube integration is brilliant.

It would be nice to be able to export client's stats both for exercises and body stats. Social media integration would also help advertising ie client x. Checked in for legs published on Facebook or ig

The trainerize app makes communicating with my online and in person clients a breeze. The library of exercises and templates saves me hours. And the constant upgrading and new features are constantly making the experience even better.

There are some features I wish it had, but they are constantly improving and adding more features as users recommend changes.

Hi, Wow - that is amazing! Congrats on growing your fitness business. We are so happy your clients love using Trainerize! Please let us know what features you would like to see on Trainerize!? Feel free to e-mail us at info@trainerize.com. We would love to hear it from you! Stay tuned for even more exciting updates and new features :) - Team Trainerize

This is a low overhead cost for me. I can train clients from anywhere; without renting time/space out at a gym. I find extreme value for my money as I can train multiple people at once. Trainerize keeps client messaging solely on the app. This does not mix in with my personal text messaging.

I need to upload multiple meal plans for a client. A client has a low carbohydrate/high protein day followed by a carbohydrate loaded day.

Hey Jordan, Wow - thank you SO much! We are so happy to hear that Trainerize transformed your fitness business. We are also thrilled that Trainerize has allowed you to offer a more complete and comprehensive fitness solution to your business. In regards to multiple meal plans option, it does sound like a good idea to have in Trainerize's future. We will definitely pass your feedback on to the development team for review. - Team Trainerize

Easy to use, great customer service and an all round great software.
