Personal training software allows PTs to create programming for their clients that can be followed from anywhere by anyone. It also allows them to manage clients and track their progress, automate time-consuming business tasks, such as taking payments, and enhance how they deliver their training by utilising powerful features.

What features does personal training software offer?

Every software is different, but with over 69 features and counting, we’ve focused on what our platform offers to help you understand what you’ll be able to benefit from.

Programming features

Programming is a core part of any personal training business. It’s what clients come to you for, and it requires continual updates and tweaking. Having features that allow you to build better programs, make updates with ease, and improve the experience your clients have will help you stand out and offer an all-around better service.

  1. Create different types of programs - The best personal trainer software will offer you different ways to create your program. Examples include one-off downloads with a fixed cost, such as a 30-day challenge, and ongoing programs that you continually update and take regular payments for on a subscription basis.

  2. Schedule directly in your clients’ calendar - Use a calendar view to create training days and schedule workouts. Any updates you make will automatically be reflected when your clients view their training schedule.

  3. Automatically personalise client sessions - Inject Personal Records into your programming, and our software will automatically tailor workouts based on each client's individual records.

  4. Community challenges and leaderboards - Create Challenges for your clients to get involved with and track their performance on real-time Leaderboards.

  5. Supplement programming with media - Store media and files directly in your software solution and attach them to your training and workouts to improve your clients' experience.

Client management features

Client management can be anything from daily communication to adapting your training program to match their progress. It's essential for building relationships and making sure they get value from following your programming. Dedicated client management features aim to save you time and simplify the entire process.

  1. Communicate with clients from anywhere - Send and receive private messages, chat with entire client groups, and leave comments on your client's workout performance.

  2. Track client progress over time - You and your clients can track their progress directly in our personal trainer software. Keep a log of key metrics, such as blood pressure, BMI, Muscle Mass and Personal Records workout performances.

  3. Client analytics - View information that helps you understand how your clients are performing, such as their workout completion rate, mood and energy levels, how much they’ve spent on your programming and more.

  4. Review client training while scheduling new workouts - While scheduling new training, review past client performance to help guide you on what training will benefit them the most.

Marketing features

Marketing will help you attract clients and grow your earnings. Utilising marketing features in the same platform you use to build your programming and manage your clients will make everything more streamlined and less time-intensive.

  1. Create a promotional storefront - Create your own website-like page to promote your coaching business without the hassle of development. Share this with the public to help you find new clients.

  2. Sell your programs instantly - Every program you create will have a dedicated page that prospective clients can visit and purchase your programs instantly. They’ll receive their training as soon as they make the purchase (as long as it has been pre-loaded).

  3. Encourage sign ups - Create coupons, set trials for your programs, pre-sell your training and use other promotional tools to help you attract new clients.

  4. Collect data and integrate with other platforms - Take advantage of integrations to create powerful automation and view advanced analytics.

Automate everything from receiving your payments to assigning program access through a dedicated solution that connects to your personal trainer software.

  1. Automatically take payments - Payments will automatically be taken from your clients and deposited directly into your bank account without you having to take any manual actions.
