Trainerize Software

Easy to get my clents their workout plans and to track their progress and send check in messages all in one place :)

Pros

I LOVE this app. Makes it so easy to build workouts, keep body stats and progress pics and I LOVE that it saves all info so you can track your progress.

Cons

I wish that there was a notes section next to each exercise for the iphone so you can add in details, like used cables insted of barbell etc.

Pros

Trainerize just keeps improving, updating, and getting better and better. My clients love so many of the features provided to make their workouts easy to access, easy to move around on their calendar, and easy to check in with me as their trainer. I can go on and on of the benefits of using this online training software!

Cons

The one con is that it can be glitchy at time with opening the app and take quite a while to open up for me. I don't know if it's like that for my clients devices. It may just be mine because of all the data and video content I have stored inside that needs to be uploaded. But overall, a great software tool.

Pros

The fact I don't have to carry a lot of papers around and that's i can just use my phone to pretty much do everything for my business.

Cons

sometimes the app will kick me out when I am using it. that's annoying. also, I cannot view my workouts through the soon i have to go online.

Tracking clients' fitness goals, scheduling appointments, tracking my own goals, communication with customer all done from one place!

Pros

My favorite aspect is that Trainerize has a mobile app that is just as easy to use as the website! I can easily schedule and manage my life straight form my phone. I schedule appointments, track clients' fitness goals, and also manage my own schedule and progress. Love this app.

Pros

The user interface is wonderful. Clients like that they can sync Fitbit and myfitness pal to it. The calendar and group capabilities are so easy to use and a great way to deliver workouts.

Cons

I wish you could manually put in workouts into the calendar instead of having to choose from the drop-down menu. I did like to write my own instructions or various manual workouts into the value as without having to use the general option.

Pros

Trainerize has made it much easier to oversee my clients training and nutrition, build programs and assign them to my clients, and has vastly improved my ability to communicate quickly with my clients. I can access everything right from my phone!

Cons

Trainerize can be a bit pricey compared to other similar programs, depending on how many clients you have. I really wish they had higher quantities of clients available at each price point.

Organization - everything I need all in one place.

Pros

I love the ability to track all stats and use my own videos to serve my customers. My customers are wowed by the app and enjoy seeing their personal bests and progress in the app. I can't imagine NOT using this app.

Cons

It can get glitchy once in a while when I'm with a customer. However, customer support is PHENOMENAL and they solve issues very quickly.

Pros

The program builder is extremely easy and fast to use and is the main reason we switched to Trainerize. You can build out a program for as many weeks as you want with weights/reps schemes in an easy to use template.

Cons

The integration with MyFitnessPal is a little lacking. I would be nice if we could view our client's MFP diaries to see exactly what they are eating.

Trainerize allowed me to build my online personal training business and has helped me work from home and not in a gym. It has enabled me to work with more clients, get them better results and with less time and effort!

Pros

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.

Cons

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!

Pros

Custom branded app is a sweet touch, personal video library and all the graphs are ideal. Nice interface clients enjoy it

Cons

A few minor issues which hopefully will get resolved with frequent upgrades, would like an app exeperience as indepth as the desktop

Pros

I like that the Videos are included Along with workout description. I enjoy the possibility to create and schedule workouts to clients calendar.

Cons

I wish there was a better way to write specific descriptions/ notes along and below the assigning exercises instead of writing everything in one box.

I get my own website that I can specialize. I get ease of delivery of programs to online clients.

Pros

How quick it is to add workouts with my own videos. How easy it is to communicate with clients. The layout.

Cons

I think there should be a tab to go directly to a clients plan, the drop down list doesn't always populate for me.

Pros

It makes programming so much easier for me and my clients. The templates feature has saved me so much time!

Cons

Sometimes it runs pretty slow on my iPad. I also wish that my clients could access other templates I've put in their training plan even if I've put them in a program. It's only one or the other.

Pros

It's a great way to deliver programs to my clients. The dashboard feature is packed with plenty of info keeping me informed so I keep my clients engaged.

Cons

I would like a few more features. Heart rate tracking, Apple Watch syncing to give more options for my clients.

Makes my life easier! I look more professional!

Pros

It is EXTREMELY easy to use. Not just for me, but for my clients as well. I rarely have to worry about being tech support for my end users. Trainerize makes my life easier, I love all the features on it. Especially the exercise mode where the clients can see all their exercises. Definitely a must have for a trainer!

Cons

LOVE everything about it! But if there was more thing I could add is to have more exercises. The ones on their will be good for about 3 months, after that you have to reuse some. Other than that, it's great!

Pros

The ability to use and upload video demos is a game changer, so that your clients know exactly what you¿re asking of them!

Cons

What I like least is that I don¿t use the platform to its fullest potentionial. Something very minor about the platform that I may suggest is the ability for users to see their whole workout/ program without the videos first and then be able to click into an exercise if they need a demo. Some exercisers are more advanced than others/ may have been on a program for a little while and are familiar with the exercises already. This May make it easier for the client to see their workout/ program in its entirety and could save them a lot of scroll time on their phone.

Pros

How easy it is from my clients to understand their workouts through the phone app. The custom videos from trainerize that were added a few moths ago are great because they all follow the same structure and look more professional.

Cons

Glitches with the messenger once in a while. It will say that I have a message but when I check it there is nothing there.

Pros

I can manage all my clients on it.lots of exercises in library. I can have a website with it and there are lots of devices for apps that can hook up to it

Cons

Can't copy workouts to start a new client in that app. Gets stuck all the time I've called customer service a few times on issues and they will contact me but they don't follow through on solving the issue

Simplicity and consolidation. Allows me to access all my client info from my phone or tablet. Paperless!

Pros

Function and ability for clients to access their program. Nice customizations of all the exercises.

Cons

The app. It crashes often and is slow to load profiles. I also wish I could upload template workouts from the app.

Professional presence
Ability to coach as well as train clients from a mobile and/or in person aspect.

Pros

I like my company brand on the mobile app. This adds a more personal feel to clients. It also is very professional.

Cons

I do not like that the Android mobile app freezes on a somewhat frequent basis. Updates should be looked into.
