FitSW

Avantages

FitSW is a great software for those who are just getting started in the fitness industry but also is built to meet the needs of an experienced fitness professional. I enjoy the simplicity of the layout and organization of the software.

Inconvénients

On the mobile app, it would be nice to have a hot button for taking before and after pictures of clients. A profile icon picture of each clients would make the software look more professional and modern in my opinion.

Avantages

This platform has it all! The most interesting features is that it offers multitude of health and fitness areas to provide, from client management, exercise library, programs, nutrition, live classes, in-app communication, form analysis using AI ,and more.

Inconvénients

It can take some time to get used to the workflow of creating programs, managing custom client programs and some more details of the platform, but after some time it gets easy. The custom app option for the Android platform could be more affordable comparing to iOS.

Avantages

I like that the app is easy to understand and use for everyone . A lot of clients comment on how helpful the instruction videos are . Great to keep track of everyone’s training and progress.

Inconvénients

The design needs updating - the videos need to be more professional - exercise archive needs to be extended.

Avantages

What I like most about this program is the way to get free from work I can keep my clients in good shape without having to be by their side I recommend it

Inconvénients

Until now, I have not had any kind of problems, I hope I do not have them, it's worth buying this program

Avantages

The most impactable feature is the workout template. I don't have to worry about the list of workouts daily, I use templates instead. They have n number of libraries to make you fit every day.

Inconvénients

I don't have any cons about this product because I am using the free trial version but the online class comes with a premium so please consider one free online class.

Avantages

It was easy to use and post workouts, edit workouts and make notes during the workout

Inconvénients

The edit feature was a little confusing. During the workout I wanted to make a note to my instructor that i used a different weight and it was cumbersome to get to the note section and I actually just did it in the time memo part

Avantages

Videos of exercises, easy to add in my own exercises, easy to add in clients, nice to have the PAR-Q there.

Inconvénients

I would like to, when I pick an exercise I've done for a client before, to have it pull up the previous weight, reps, etc. It makes it tedious to have to go look up the info each time.

Avantages

The videos showing each exercise were very helpful when I was unsure of what was entailed. I lost 12 pounds in 4 weeks using this app for workouts my trainer created for me.

Inconvénients

Videos don't always load and override my workout music. Not all exercises that my trainer assigned me had videos.

Avantages

It is easy to access, I can actually go into each category and personalize it. I also like that there is demo link provided for some exercises if I don't know how to do it.

Inconvénients

I don't personally use the app to tracknowledge my food intake but I found that the options were vague. Instead maybe the food options can be listed in grams or ounces?

Avantages

I am a big fan of the fact that each exercise is paired with an instructional video. Also simple to alter an exercise routine.

Inconvénients

With it having so much integration and options, it can be less than user friendly. I would't call it a strong con, just takes a little time to learn how to alter the workouts.

Avantages

This platform is easy to use on iOS and web! I have only used it a little on an android device, but all the features, functionality and data are actually easy to navigate on all the platforms. I use this to help me personally keep on track with my day to day goals. Being able to check off a workout and getting a "high five" helps me stay motivated and lookin forward to the next workout.

Inconvénients

Having more recipes available will help me not get bored with the healthy day to day meal plans. I would also like to see more HIIT templated added. The ones that are there are great and challenge me, but I want more! Please!

Avantages

I like the fact that I can keep track of all of my clients' important information in one single application. Being able to build comprehensive fitness plans, diet plans and tracking progress in one single app makes my job much easier and seems to keep my clients much more engaged. I also like how responsive the FitSW team is to my feature requests and improvement requests.

Inconvénients

Hard to mention something here as the team usually responds quickly to any improvement requests I have. One thing I guess I could mention is there are a lot of exercises in the exercise database - many of which I don't use. The app lets me search for the ones I want and I can delete the ones I don't use which is nice. But maybe if there was a way when I signed up to only sign up with the basic exercise database so I didn't have to delete the ones I don't use.

Avantages

Easy to use and post workouts. Clients find it quite easy to navigate. Nice layout.

Inconvénients

Everything is good. More professional video tutorials would be great.

Avantages

Navigating the app is incredibly intuitive. Creating or altering an exercise routine is just as simple. The app makes it simple to chart progress in body changes (which can sometimes be difficult to see by the eye alone.)

But perhaps the best part of this app is that each exercise is linked to a demonstration video. This means if a user doesn't have a personal trainer, they can watch how to correctly perform each exercise. This is an incredibly useful and empowering thing to offer, and helps cut down on confusion at the gym.

Inconvénients

Being as robust as it is, the app sometimes has to trade in on user-friendliness. For certain exercises, I want to do several sets of an exercise for a period of time, as opposed to for a series of repetitions. From what I can tell, this is not an option in the app, but can easily be worked-around by writing a note under the exercise.

My trainer has also put in exercises that do not come with a video demonstration. It's likely these were custom exercises that didn't come with the stock app, so the lacking video was understandable. But a feature for me to embed a video with those exercises, myself, would have been handy.

Avantages

I really loved how easy it was to view your workouts and the progress you have made throughout your goal and the ease it is to stay in contact with your personal trainer.

Inconvénients

The only con I would have about the software is that the workouts do not disappear if you fail to do one. I missed a couple days of my workout and it’s still there so when I go to find my other workouts i have to scroll through the ones i missed

Avantages

I like how easy it is to chose the exercises for my clients workout. The tracking progress for each client is easy to follow.

Inconvénients

I feel that the videos that demonstrate the workout are of low quality and form is not always correct. Would love a way to add our own demonstrations for our clients.

Pourquoi passer à FitSW

Avantages

Once I had the web demo it was pretty easy to use. I like how you can pretty much keep all of the client info in one place and the exercise selection is great. The also like that clients can upload their before and after photos directly into the app because it gives them a sense of security over emailing or texting.

Inconvénients

I do not like how when you create a live PT class, all other clients can see them. I wish there was a way for you to directly send your pt clients their live session OR for them to request the live session when they request their appointments.
Food tracking is not great and music stops when the timer starts so integrating music would bring this app up to 5 stars.

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

Easy to use and very user friendly. I also like being able to add my own exercises to the library.

Inconvénients

Sometimes I am not able to "copy" some workouts to some clients and have to upload everything manually at least twice.

Avantages

I like the assessments the most. I like the curves the client and I can see when they make progress

Inconvénients

I would like a section where I writer the workout I did with the client.
Now I use the schedule, and I can use the workout section, but I find that a little complicated.
I would like a small section in the schedule tot put the workout in. Like sets and reps etc

Avantages

It’s easy for not only me to use but my clients as well

Inconvénients

I haven’t found anything I don’t like about this software.

Avantages

The thing I love the most about this app is that there are demos for all the exercises, so in case your client forgets, you can easily send them the demo.

Inconvénients

The only thing I would change, is that, while there is a large bank of exercises, it doesn't have them all, I think they should expand on that. Different variations of exercises and whatnot.

Avantages

The program is easy to use. I like that I also have the options to make programs available to clients, as well as create my own videos to go with the exercises.

Inconvénients

I only have a small number of clients at the moment, so I wish there was an annual cost for under 10 that was less.

Avantages

I’ve tried numerous apps for My Business. I’ve got an online training business. A lot of the apps that I’ve used in the past have had glitches. Then my clients cannot access her homework, what would be on the wrong day, we would just disappear on them. I’ve have had very little glitches with FitSW. It’s easy for both myself and my clients to use.

Inconvénients

The Transition from owner to trainer app is a little confusing

Avantages

Awesome app to keep clients accountable! Create workouts easily and very helpful when you can be with a client.

Inconvénients

The workout cap is tough when I want to track excercise progress with multiple clients. I find myself having to search and delete workouts that aren't too relevant to the client goals and progress.

Avantages

It allows me to have a consistent product for my online training clients. I no longer have to answer questions about certain exercises.

Inconvénients

It can be very slow at times and i wish tracking your weights week to week would Be easier to see.
