Best Personal Training Software for Gyms
Every "best personal training software" list ranks the same handful of tools. The real question is whether you need a standalone PT app or if your membership platform already covers it.
Trainerize costs $200/mo — but your membership platform may already cover PT
Pricing based on published Trainerize plan vs. built-in platform features.
Trainerize — $200/mo
Trainerize is a personal-training client app for delivering workout programs, tracking progress, and messaging clients between sessions. It integrates with Mindbody. At $200/mo it's built for clubs with dedicated personal trainers delivering structured programs, typically 2-60 employees in the training department. The value proposition is client retention: structured programming and messaging keep PT clients engaged between sessions.
Evaluating whether Trainerize is right for your club.
When you don't need Trainerize
If your club's personal training is mostly informal — trainers designing workouts on the spot without structured programs — Trainerize is overkill. Your membership platform (Mindbody, Glofox, or Zen Planner) already handles class scheduling, member check-in, and basic communication. Adding Trainerize for trainers who won't use the programming features is a common source of software sprawl.
The actual decision
- Dedicated PT department, structured programs, remote client check-ins: Trainerize justifies its cost.
- Informal PT, on-the-spot workouts, no structured programming: skip Trainerize and use your membership platform's built-in communication.
- Already running Mindbody: Trainerize integrates cleanly; running Zen Planner or Glofox without Mindbody: check whether your platform's PT features are sufficient before adding another tool.
Your trainer count and programming needs determine the right decision — not which PT app has the biggest marketing budget.
