Functional fitness coaches

What style of fitness/sport do you coach?

1-2-1 Training. Functional Fitness, Strength & Conditioning, Weightlifting.

How do you deliver your programming?

All my programming is online. FITR gives me the ability to deliver a higher level of services to my clients online.

What program types do you use to deliver your training?

I use the Custom program type on FITR to deliver 1-2-1 training and bespoke schedules for each of my clients. I love how I can make weekly adjustments by just copying and pasting each week and editing sets/reps/intensity. It makes my life easier but also ensures my clients continue progressing and get the best results.

Which features are helping you the most and why?

Benchmarks are key for me as a coach, particularly with my strength athletes. I can program them a percentage of their 1RM and it will come up for them with their personal load - game changing!

One of the reasons I switched to FITR was the Schedule Builder, it allows me to write in detail within session sections. My old app would only let me insert exercises and no comments, with FITR I can write as much as I like which is really handy for explaining exercises, leaving tips or comments that my clients need when they look at the session.

There’s loads more great features within the Schedule Builder, it’s extremely efficient. I can copy and paste structures easily, whilst changing exercises/volume/intensity. I also love how I can add my own training videos for clients to see, all loaded and managed via a central Media Library.

Are you using Benchmarks in your training?

Yes, they work so well. I use 1RM benchmarks for squat, bench, deadlift, clean + jerk and snatch.

Since using FITR how has it changed your coaching business?

I’ve been able to bring new clients in through marketing my clients performances on social media. The Performance Tracking data in FITR looks great and is very shareable on Instagram.

The FITR Client App has had a LOT of positive feedback from my clients (in comparison to my old app - Trainerize). Clients love the Benchmark feature and also the fact they can add a lot of comments when logging their performance. All this allows me to get to know more about how the session went rather then just seeing a number on the screen, which in turn allows me to continually improve the service I offer.

I have saved A LOT of time in programming, the fact benchmarks are calculated automatically and you can save exercises/days/weeks as a template is a life saver when working with very similar clients.

I love it, it’s allowed me to grow my business to a stage where online coaching is my full time job, I couldn’t be more happy.

How do you deliver your programming?

All our programs are 100% online.

What program types do you use to deliver your training?

Mainly Group Rolling Calendar (GRC), but I also deliver 1-2-1 programs and have used Fixed Length programs as well. I like the GRC program type because it helps generate an online community within the program and allows me to keep the programming content relevant to the time of season.

Which features are helping you the most and why?

I love the benchmark feature to be able to personalise the athletes training content. That and the ability to review athletes results in the same view that I use to build out a program.

Are you using Benchmarks in your training?

Yes! I use all the main weightlifting benchmarks so percentages are calculated into exact weights and also like to use 5km Row and 20 minute Bike to give guidance for conditioning pieces.

Are you using our White Label feature?

Yes, I like the personalised feel and also being able to see our athletes post our branding colours on their social media.

Much more streamlined admin with the integrated payments. Easy to use for the client and reliable tech too.

What style of fitness/sport do you coach?

Functional Fitness and Motorsport.

How do you deliver your programming?

I offer a hybrid mix of both online and in-person coaching. FITR allows me to program for my online clients, see video reviews, send feedback and upload YouTube videos as needed to help communicate with my remote athletes.

What program types do you use to deliver your training?

I mostly use 1-2-1 programming to work with my 1-2-1 clients on a personal level, but I’ve explored all the different types as they offer something unique. For my generic clients I use Group Rolling calendar that really encourages that community feel. They’re all easy to use and straightforward.

Which features are helping you the most and why?

Linking in Benchmarks into my programming makes things so much easier and less time consuming. It also means my clients get a more personlised training experience as the Benchmark adjusts to their individual ability, meaning anyone can scale my programming to match their needs.

Are you using Benchmarks in your training?

Yes, mainly watts for bike and weight percentage.

Are you using our White Label feature?

Yes, it gives a really personal touch for my clients. I like how my branding ties in across all my platforms. It’s a seamless experience across social media and the app clients use to follow my training,

Having the FITR platform looking after all payments allows me to just coach and not worry about any client subscriptions getting missed. This saves me so much time each month so I can focus on my training and supporting my clients.

For Clients having the app that’s one the best features FITR have updated and very positive feedback.

What style of fitness/sport do you coach?

1-2-1 Training and Functional Fitness.

How do you deliver your programming?

I offer 100% online coaching for my clients, so I'm never restricted by location and can reach a larger audience.

What program types do you use to deliver your training?

I use both 1-2-1 and Group Rolling Calendar program types. 1-2-1 is excellent for my higher value training where a more bespoke approach is needed. I only need to promote a single program at one price point, which keeps everyone under one roof, but as clients subscribe, I can tailor their training schedules to suit them.

Group Rolling Calendar programs are perfect for creating a community. New clients join existing ones on the same training day and can get started immediately. I use benchmarks to personalise the training to each individual's ability. Group Rolling Calendar allows me to reach a much wider audience whilst only having to manage a single training schedule. 

Which features are helping you the most and why?

Integrated Payments make it so smooth for clients to sign up, but it also helps me as a coach see MMR and taxes and generally helps automate the admin side of running my business. Tracking client performance is also a great feature; demonstrating progression helps retain clients as they can see their improvements from my training over time.

Are you using Benchmarks in your training?

Yes, I always use weightlifting benchmarks, heart rate, and conditioning markers too.

Are you using our White Label feature?

Yes, I love knowing I'm offering a premium service with a superior product without developing my own app and paying thousands for it. It's all done for you; all you need to do is add your branding!

Since using FITR how has it changed your coaching business?

When I started, I didn't have any clients. Adopting online coaching via FITR was an early move in my career, and I have no regrets. I now have over 100 clients onboard, and FITR saves me so much time, making the online coaching process so much more efficient.

My online coaching business has grown from 0 to 100+ clients since using FITR. It’s the best!

What program types do you use to deliver your training?

We love using FITR as it has all that we need in order to deliver effective programming, build an online worldwide community, and easily communicate with our team.

Which features are helping you the most and why?

Automated Payments have saved us a lot of time and headaches.

Being able to communicate with each individual as well as the whole community at the same time has really helped our team to save time, but also improve communications.

The Storefront is great, it’s simple and easy for clients to access, learn about No Shortcuts and our services, and subscribe to our programs. It also means I don’t have to worry about building a website as the Storefont on FITR handles everything we need.

White Label is a game changer for us as we’re big on branding, now we can offer a seamless brand experience across all client touch points.

Are you using Benchmarks in your training?

Yes. The benchmark system is great as it allowed us to design our own testing system. This improves client retention as we can provide them with visual progress and data from their hard work.

Are you using our White Label feature?

Yes. It’s a fantastic addition to FITR as we can express our brand the way it was designed. Branding is key when it comes to building more than a training program.

What style of fitness/sport do you coach?

Functional Fitness.

How do you deliver your programming?

We offer a hybrid mix of both in-person gym training and remote coaching. 

By having FITR it enables us as a gym to coach our clients even when they cannot attend our facility. This ensures that those who go away on holiday, away for work/college reasons etc to still feel part of our community and means that the member can still follow our in gym programmes.

It means that the client/member can still make those all important health and fitness gains irrespective of where they are on any given day. Plus the added accountability of having a coach checking in gives real value and allows us to provide a real premium service to our consumer.

Furthermore, our in gym members have the added value of being able to track their lifts, interact with the gym community, see videos from Urban Gym coaches of how to perform each exercise on the programme that day. Additionally, members have the ability to take part in leaderboards and challenges if they wish to do so. It’s a fantastic way to build the gym community and can be a fantastic retention tool also.

What program types do you use to deliver your training?

As a group based gym we use the Group Rolling Calendar program type. This is so that our in gym LIFT programme is easily accessible to those that join on any given day in the year and can link straight in with everyone else on the program.

Which features are helping you the most and why?

We love the ability to link in videos from the Media Library because so many learn not just by doing but by visual too. This enables members to see what they will be doing prior to the session but also gives members the opportunity to review any exercises that they may be struggling with.

Are you using Benchmarks in your training?

Yes. We love Benchmarks as it gives members the opportunity to see their improvements that they make as a result of following a fun, challenging but progressive training model. It helps us as a business to build real social proof too as the data is there in black and white.

Are you using our White Label feature?

Yes we are. We chose White Label as it really enables us to get our brand out there. It’s a really classy look, especially when looking to attract new members. We specialise in coaching whereas FITR specialises in fitness app development. You guys are the best in the business when it comes to providing a premium user friendly fitness app. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Since using FITR how has it changed your coaching business?

Our key reason for using FITR was to be able to provide added value to our current in gym members. And it has done exactly that.

It has enabled us to grow so much more. The app itself is so easy to use and the people behind FITR are fantastic and always on hand to help if you aren’t exactly great with tech (like me!).

The value add piece especially to gyms similar to ourselves, who care for each member and love seeing not solely body composition change but performance growth, is the data. FITR gives clear performance and tracking data so each member and coach can see client progression in black and white. Members see themselves every day in the mirror and it can be hard to see change, however, what gets measured gets managed and being able to show a client clear results is a fantastic tool to have in both yours and your members pocket.

It’s a 5 star premium service, especially white label. FITR can help you and your business to stand out in what can be a very noisy and crowded market. You don’t have to be a tech wizard to use the service, it’s really easy to use and looks slick too. Plus, the people behind it are fantastic and always on hand to help ensure you, your business and community are getting the most out of the app. While you help your clients get fitter, you and your business will be FITR as a result due to having a quality system in place that saves time and allows you to operate better on all fronts.

Gymnastics & Functional Fitness

How do you deliver your programming?

I offer 100% remote training. The majority of the business side of Jacked Gymnastics is run entirely through FITR.

What program types do you use to deliver your training?

I primarily use Fixed Length and Session 1, Day 1 program types, but we use the whole range. Gymnastics is all about gradual and consistent progression. These program types allow me to cater for different levels of ability and ensure that everyone starts and builds through the same progressive cycles which is important.

Which features are helping you the most and why?

We often use Benchmarks so that we can easily and quickly tailor workouts for a large group of clients and track progress over time. Not so much a specific feature, but it’s also generally very easy and efficient to program in FITR. It’s quick and easy to upload/add YouTube videos to workouts. The dashboard and business reporting also provides useful insights and makes year-end much easier!

Are you using Benchmarks in your training?

Yes - many of them and in almost every program. I’ve also seen FITR regularly adding new Benchmarks to help different types of coaches which is great to see.

Since using FITR how has it changed your coaching business?

We are effectively running the majority of our business through FITR. It saves us time with programming, payments are completely automated, it’s cost effective, and our clients like the functionality and front-end look.

Customer experience has always been great. It has been wonderful to be a very small part of the FITR journey and it’s great to see the platform continue to evolve and grow quickly.

FITR saves us time creating programming, automating payments, it’s cost effective, and our clients like the functionality and front-end look.

How do you deliver your programming?

I offer programming in-person and online. FITR has created an easy platform for me to deliver online training in addition to in-person, allowing me to reach clients across the country.

What program types do you use to deliver your training?

I use the Session 1, Day 1 program type. I’m able to create a single training schedule that I update over time. As new clients join, they start on the first day and progress through the historic training I’ve already created. It’s great for individual bespoke training programs customised to my clients needs and goals, both in and out of the health and fitness world.

Which features are helping you the most and why?

The movement demo videos available in the FITR Media Library are paramount. Adding them into my training is easy and it really helps clients who are potentially new to the movements.

Since using FITR how has it changed your coaching business?

I really love the integration with Stripe in automating the logistics of payments and memberships. It takes this element of running my business out of my hands, giving me more headspace and time to concentrate on effective and efficient programming.

It’s great for individual bespoke training programs, customised to my clients needs and goals.
