FitSW

Avantages

I received notifications with meetings changes quickly. Emails and notifications always included the link to quickly navigate to the site.

Inconvénients

The graphics on the scheduler were difficult to read. Often, I was confused about when my trainer was available and when she wasn't

Avantages

Easily allows my trainer and I to sync up on workout progress or concerns.

Inconvénients

Somewhat difficult to “push forward” workouts when you increase difficulty

Avantages

Easy to use both on trainer and client platform. Great tools to track clients progress.

Inconvénients

Would like to be able to add cardio into superset exercises. App sometimes glitchy and duplicates exercises after saving workout .

Avantages

I like how easy it is to see my workouts as well as the demonstrations of them. My trainer or even I can edit my workouts fast and record my progress. The mobile platform is definitely better on Android than it is iOS and I've used both. I also like how easy I can record my weight and such.

Inconvénients

I wish inputting my progress was a bit faster? It definitely is a lot more simply laid out on android than iOS. I can get to where I want faster in the android app than the iOS one. This is more a functionality thing than anything else.

Avantages

All of the workouts for several months and pics and be entered. I like that you have the videos and ability to take to he trainer.

Inconvénients

How the workouts load up. Needs to load easier. And the app is not very good at all. Lots of work needed

Avantages

- Clients can easily follow the workout model watching demo videos
- Mobile apps available on android and iOS, with android version more intuitive
- Emails and notifications wherever necessary
- Trainer-client interaction through app is really useful

Inconvénients

- Nothing in particular. The iOS mobile app can be more stable

Avantages

It allowed me to follow a routine set by my personal trainer. Easy to access and view. Great place for everything in one spot.

Inconvénients

It seemed clunky at times and I didn't know if it was the software itself or just my personal computer.

Avantages

Really easy to set up new users. Very useful for designing programs for people and the access for clients is easy for them to follow. The dashboard and achievements are a big pro

Inconvénients

Could be more on the nutrition side of the app

Avantages

The demo video are so great to work with, if I don't know how to do the exercises I just look at the demo and I'm good to go.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the workouts disappear and can't be found. That can be annoying sometimes especially if I have not completed my workout

Avantages

Clients have. Record of what we have done in the training sessions .
Easy to plan sessions
Quick communication through the message box
It’s all in one , programming and parq

Inconvénients

Needs to have a blank space/ page to write extra notes about clients

Avantages

Having the demo videos has really helped assist clients during their training.

Inconvénients

Choppy. Feels like it could flow better

Avantages

My favorite feature is the "task option." It enables me to help my clients focus on behavior change and habit creation which is the golden ticket when it comes to maintaining results over time and client retention.

Inconvénients

There are a few subtle differences between the two platforms but once I recognized those it's smoothe sailing.

Avantages

Very good software for a trainer. Works very well. Occasionally there are a few bugs, but it is addressed fast. I hate the fact that they raised the price from 1.99 to 4.99 a month.

Inconvénients

The price changed and I did not like that at all. Please lower the price for us. Other than that it is a good product.

Avantages

I love all the options in creating workouts. Also love the video demos, makes clients much more at ease seeing the exercises.

Inconvénients

Honestly, the only dislike is the fact when assigning a workout, it triggers you to add a date each time.

Avantages

Easy to use, very good price, great app
To use starting a fitness business

Inconvénients

The app itself does have lots of bugs. It has caused many of my clients to not the use the app entirely.

Avantages

I could easily select exercises from the library for my pt session on the go!

Inconvénients

Client can’t book sessions from mobile app.

Avantages

Simplicity of the product that allows for easy access and intuitive interfaces. The scheduling feature is really easy to use, and is what I use it most for.

Inconvénients

Not really accessible, unless on a desktop computer. Site/program isn't really compatible with the phone and the app, although very new, is even more limiting to use on the Android. This causes clients to not really be interested in using the software at all. The mobile version needs to be able to display the schedule for the trainers.

Avantages

I use this application with my personal training clients and running clients. I love the gif preview for exercises and the ability to add my own exercises/videos.

Inconvénients

I dislike that superset is the only grouping option. I do a lot of compound exercises and circuit training. I have to explain this to my clients outside the app and give the instruction on how to perform the movements . I also wish there was a more simplistic way to incorporate a conditioning segment (metcon) where I can write my own block with EMOM and AMRAP groupings.

Avantages

Ease of use, easy to add own exercises to the workouts

Inconvénients

Not much, perhaps the limitation in number of programs allowed?

Avantages

The tracking of measurements and the ability to create workouts

Inconvénients

Limited ability to store progress pictures or a side by side feature

Avantages

This has been soo helpful in helping me to stay organized and on track. I really like the workout detail view in helping me complete my workouts.

Inconvénients

i wish they advertised more so I would have found this sooner. If they had reached me sooner I would have been more fit.

Avantages

1. Very flexible to add all kinds of details to measure and track
2. Very easy to add any client and have it send to their email
3. Easy to add exercises

Inconvénients

1. Look of the platform looks a bit cheap
2. Not able to add info while being offline
3. Not able to ask the client if he or she can give his / her opinion about the PT

Avantages

The exercise data base is pretty well stocked, and it is easy to add them. Clients can easily access their plans from their phones, it links to nutrition tracking. Also like the ability to upload docs, and the assessment portion.

Inconvénients

Some of the saved videos don't display great form and function, others have ads. The scheduling series portion is a little cumbersome. on the copy function it would be better if the 1st client name didn't default (forget to change it.) if you make a mistake creating an exercise you can't edit or delete it. would be great to have the option of being able to record your own video or insert the link. Could add circuit as an option like the superset button

Avantages

It is very easy for me to communicate with my clients. They like the timer feature as well as being able to see what they are supposed to be doing if they forget the exercise. I enjoy being able to pick and choose which progress graphs I would like the clients to use. It's a good way for them to see how they are doing and what they still need to work on.

Inconvénients

To get to the workout for the day, my clients need to scroll to the bottom of the workout section. It would be nice if the workouts for that day were shown first.

Avantages

I love using this app to plan and track workouts. When I first started, my trainer loaded workouts that she had designed for me. All I had to do was open the app at the gym and follow the program. Now, I can copy and modify those workouts as I progress.

Inconvénients

The only minor dislike I have is that you can't see the entire notes field when viewing a workout.

Avantages

I love the fact that the workouts are fully customizable. The clients also get a professional experience with their log in and password and easy to use formatting.

Inconvénients

I do wish I could save workouts without having to redo them or copy and paste to another client. I wish I would have a file with all my workouts I've added in the software and just select workouts I would like to repeat and send to multiple clients at a time.

Avantages

The graphs and the how easy it is to use. Also the pricing is amazing compare to other similar softwares. I also like the fact that it has an app.
Would be great if I could somehow embed it into my website so clients could see their progress through it.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately the app keeps crashing on my iPhone 7 when I try to view the graphs. This has been a problem for a while and been in fact in touch about the issue but nothing has change.

Avantages

I love the ease in which I can access and see all of my workouts for use at the gym. The demo feature offers valuable insight, in case I am doing a new exercise and want to make sure I'm using the proper form.

Inconvénients

I wish there was an option to notate at each exercise, so that I can better communicate with my trainer what worked and what didn't, what weights I ended up using, and why.

Avantages

Client/trainer interaction is good. I assign workouts then get a confirmation when they are completed.

Inconvénients

I wish I could sort the completed work outs by date or title for easier review.

Avantages

ability to see past workouts. ability to add new exercises when i plan my workouts. adding mulitple clients. value for money for a budget fitness online app

Inconvénients

blank space to create my own cardio circuit. Or something to type up circuit in the cardio section. Option to superset exercises.
not very mobile friendly

Avantages

I love that you can add new exercises and food right in the plan now instead of having to go to the over all list.

Inconvénients

The diets should give you the option of setting up meals instead of time and should break off the meals with some sort of separation, because it's very confusing for clients as it is right now.

Avantages

The software allows me to connect better with my clients. I like that I can build workouts and diets easily. Then share with my clients. They can login and all the plan I created for them are right there organized. Makes it easy for them to see and stay on track.

Inconvénients

I want them to add the ability to connect to apple watch. they said that wont be ready until this winter but it would be really helpful to have as soon as they can. I like the FitSW iPhone app but some of my clients also have watch too.

Avantages

Once you figure it out, it's really easy to use. I like that I can look back on a client history to see where they're trending.

Inconvénients

The scoring system is a little wonky, like on the graphs. If you simply use the arrows the values go by .1 so it took me a few times to figure it out.

The automatic emails to clients also leave something to be desired. Especially when you click on one and it sends immediately. No confirmation or anything.

Avantages

When my trainer assigns me workouts - I enjoy the video demo capability. It helps when performing/correcting a workout.

Inconvénients

I can't see the list of videos UNLESS a particular workout is assigned to me. The software does not have the fitness function of syncing up with my Garmin Watch.

Avantages

What I like most about this system is that it holds me accountable to my activities, and my coach. I do the assigned workouts. I can keep in touch with my coach about my progress and or difficulties and we can adjust the workouts accordingly. So much easier than what we were using before FitSW. I also like the idea of having demos provide directly on the FitSW site ti click on and help me do the workouts correctly.

Inconvénients

There is really nothing that I do not like about this system. As long as both parties use the system the way it was designed to be used it works both workout wise and communication wise.

Avantages

Very straightforward to use during workouts and love the timer! The videos help me understand the workouts, sometimes I am unfamiliar with the terms and this gets me through my workouts much better. All my workout history is kept so I can refer back to them if I need to.

Inconvénients

No complaints! Has been working great, this is definitely one of the better workout softwares out there.

Avantages

I like that my trainer can give me assignments and keep me accountable

Inconvénients

I want to repeat a workout I’ve completed and can’t figure out how to copy. I think my trainer can, but I haven’t figured out how to do so.

Avantages

My trainer can upload a workout and I can watch a video so I know I'm doing the correct thing! Its so easy to use!

Inconvénients

When the videos were not working, that was annoying, but it is fixed! Sometimes my phone kicks me off of it, but I think that is a problem on my end.

Avantages

I enjoy the ability to add additional tasks to client profiles.

Inconvénients

I think there may be too many options that may be on the lower end of the list of needs.

Avantages

The app is pretty straight forward, the features are easy to find and easy to use. The demo videos help tremendously.

Inconvénients

The look and aesthetic of the app looks outdated. The fact that the measurements auto delete when you are still in the process of inputting them can be frustrating. I had to start writing them on paper first and then input the all at once to avoid them disappearing in the middle of me updating them.

Avantages

FitSW is very user friendly and a great tool for posting workouts. Videos for each exercise are already included. I also really like the progress graphs so that my clients and I can see their success. The customer service is top notch!

Inconvénients

At times, I am occasionally limited with exercise options because the layout is not conducive to different training techniques or principles. I also don't like that I cannot view the workout videos until I publish the workout. However, I contacted FitSW with these suggestions and they said they will try to add these features.

Avantages

I love that it has demo videos with the exercises to show how to properly perform them. I also like that I can add my own exercises as well. It's easy for my clients to understand.

Inconvénients

I wish it had some more features so I could put exercises together that are drop sets or supersets.

Avantages

Easily keep track of workouts, upcoming dates and plans, quick navigation, shares w your trainer, can make notes, good library of excercises to select from.

Inconvénients

Have to double click and swipe to quit from time to time and reset app to get moving again. Would also like my notes and changes to pass onto the next same workout, I.e. I make a note about an excercise on leg day, id like it if that note passed onto the next leg day so I can utilize it instead of having to back to the previous workouts to see if I left a note or not.

Avantages

Ability to easily list clients and create workouts. Took literally 2 seconds to figure out how to super-set exercises. Haven't paid for anything yet, but it works just fine for how I've been using it.

Inconvénients

Haven't really found anything I disliked yet. One bug I've found is that, logged in as a client, you cannot add food to a diet (or create a diet). I've emailed the admins about it.

Avantages

I love how easy it is for my clients to navigate and use the app. I love that I can put videos up for my clients to use as visuals.

Inconvénients

I wish that there was an option to shoe the workouts in a month format like a calendar.

Avantages

The workouts, diet, progress records, and before after pics. I enjoy the look of it as well. It's simple and to the point!

Inconvénients

It's still in the works on adding a lot of necessary features but it is a great app. I wish that clients could log their own workouts or what they do. I don't think this is possible right now.

Avantages

Adding own workouts to exercise database. Exercise demo option. Being able to copy and repeat workout plans between client(s). Messaging clients directly through site.

Inconvénients

Limit on # of workouts created. Limit on # of progress pictures. Having to pay for certain functions. Can only mark workouts as complete or delete them. Would like a "not complete" button to monitor consistency. Nutrition logging a little tedious.

Avantages

It defines convenience. Very helpful and most of the work is done for you when it comes to the exercises.

Inconvénients

It would be nice to add a parent/guardian for minor clients. This would help ease communication with the client and give more reassurance to the clients parent/guardian.

Avantages

Its simple to carry and its interesting because it changes every week, I wish my trainer would add more notes on how much weight to use for each exercise and details like that.

Inconvénients

If the internet is slow, then it slows down my training, especially when I need to see the demo, which it is almost all the time, because I am a newbie in weight training. The fact that it goes to a page on you tube makes it even slower!

Avantages

I love the ease of use. And the selection of exercises. It is easy to set up and gave clients login to check on their data too.

Inconvénients

The graphics are not very appealing. I think clients like something a bit more flashy. But other than that it is very good.
