FitSW

Avantages

The ease of setting up programs for my clients and the ability to keep in contact with them directly from the app.

Inconvénients

Wish it was easier to host one on one fitness classes with my clients.

Avantages

Very easy to use and clear to read for clients! I love that you can add any exercise with a demonstration link. And the progress tracker is a big benefit for clients.

Inconvénients

The occasional glitch that makes the text stacked and unable to read. It does t happen all the time but can be annoying when clients have to ask me what it says. Also being unable to view messages on the app is a minor negative.

Avantages

Simplicity at its finest! Good list of workouts! Enjoy how easy it is to use! Can complete tasks quickly and effectively!

Avantages

I love the exercise database and the demo videos available

Inconvénients

It didn't have the functionality to schedule a Crossfit type workout or WOD for a day

Avantages

The mobile app it is very easy to use and you can add exercises, workouts and your before and after photos

Inconvénients

I would like to see more language options. I dont know if this is only in my phone, but I can not change the languaje to Spanish

Avantages

This software is very easy to navigate. I really like the client options of emailing them when their workout is ready

Inconvénients

The software is pretty plain looking. it's a very basic website. the curb appeal could be improved a little.

Avantages

Love that there are videos for all the excercises and easy to add on.

Inconvénients

Would be great to add progress bars for each excercises. So it shows the clients how far along they have come. Also same for weight and measurements.

Avantages

What I enjoy most about FitSW is the ease of use. Everything on the app makes perfect sense. It's very easy to get to your various workouts, it keeps completed workouts on file so you can still reference them. The timer function is great, as is the option to include demo videos for workouts. I also enjoy the progress input graphs!

Inconvénients

I can't figure out how to duplicate workouts on my own. If for example my trainer misses a day, or forgets to input a workout, I don't know how to duplicate an already existing workout!

Avantages

I cannot usually remember poses, I have terrible spatial memory. I'm so happy to have an app that allows me to quickly see a quick demonstration of a move to jog my memory.

Inconvénients

I do most workouts more than once. But if I do a workout once, it moves over into the "Complete" section. It'd be great if I could have it pop back into the "Open" section every Tuesday/Thursday at 7am, or whenever I want, as an ongoing exercise.

Avantages

Easy tools and the exercise editing is very helpful

Inconvénients

When programming routines the lack of multi add exercise it makes it slow to work with

Avantages

Easy to use, and gives me live up to date emails when clients finish their workouts. They are able to message me about a workout through the program freeing my phone up from messages.

Inconvénients

The diet part of the program could use major work but its nice for something basic. More exercises should be programed in there.

Avantages

I actually love everything about it. When they made changes it made the software even more appealing, useful, and easier to use.

Inconvénients

The only con I have is not about the software. I wish it was in an application for my clients. So they do not have to save it to their desktop

Avantages

It's a good value for your dollar for the most part.

- minimal ui
- easy to add custom exercises

Inconvénients

- Android app is very buggy in general
- Passwords often time need to be reset for no reason.
- supersets get deleted when I go to the edit workout page

Avantages

Recent updates! And new look to the app make the app much better to use and it's functionality is way better

Inconvénients

No longer free, I loved a free app for personal trainers since finding a good one for free is impossible.

Avantages

This is great if you are looking for a simple way to manage your workout and meal plans.

Inconvénients

The developers can up the quality of their videos to take the app to the next level

Avantages

It's very easy to navigate and keep track of the workouts that have been assigned to me by my trainer.

Inconvénients

I have no real complaints! Without any formal training it's been very easy to figure out with no guidance.

Avantages

I can see the workouts before I meet with the trainer. I am able to see what we will be doing and when I meet with him I can discuss any modifications

Inconvénients

Cant think of anything other than there are not videos for everything. It would be helpful to be able to view some of the exercises that I am not familiar with

Avantages

This software provides quick access to my workout plans designed by my trainer on a weekly basis. It has a clear layout and is easy to use .

Inconvénients

I hope it would allow the client to edit the workout details entered by the trainer such as weight and video links.

Avantages

That has almost all the features we need as personal trainers, with tools for nutrition plans and workouts; foods database is very complete and also is the exercises database, which include videos

Inconvénients

It should include a BMR/TDEE calculator for clients, using data provided (weight, height, age, gender, physical activity per week); also it would be good to have an IMC calculator

Avantages

Very user friendly and reliable. Many options to keep up with clients

Inconvénients

I don't like how much of a charge I get for my clients paying through the app

Avantages

Easy to set Workout plan and fast service.

Inconvénients

Some Workout are not there specially streching exercise should be more there.

Avantages

It’s very Easy to use. The exercise library.

Inconvénients

I’d like to insert more pictures of My clients

Avantages

Extensive (and expanding) database. Linked demos of exercises. Ability of clients to see their workouts.

Inconvénients

Inability to "add exercise" from app. Inability to see "shared clients" in app. Inability to search via muscle group when creating workouts, rather needing specific word combo/orders in website.

Avantages

I LOVE that they have demos available. I also really like the progress feature and how it comes in chart and graph form.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a way to record client PR's so I could refer back to them when creating a new routine.

Avantages

I like that you can specify a different work out for each day, have it mapped out and ready to go. I also like that you can add demos.

Inconvénients

I do not really have any dislikes. If I were to change anything, I would add a place where you can put how much weight you lifted on that exercise so that you can reference the next time.

Avantages

easy to write programs for clients and keep track of progress

Inconvénients

has to be connected to internet so when I'm out of office I have to connect to hotspot

Avantages

I like how user friendly it is! I didn't have to spend hours learning how to use the app. I can easily open it during a workout to see a demo.

Inconvénients

When I do need a demo it opens in safari and I sometimes forget to close out so I have a ton of tabs open. It would be nice if the demo could play in app.

Avantages

Fairly simple to use. I could get started without having to go to support

Inconvénients

Mainly I was looking for something to track sessions to alleviate accounting headaches. Also would be good if a coaching feature was implemented with goal setting and follow ups.

Avantages

I like that I’m able to see my clients progress and logs

Inconvénients

Not everything is on the app and that it sometimes glitches/crashes when using the software.

Avantages

I like that I can go on it and be able to adapt and change my workout based on how well or poorly i am doing. I can also check the box as complete.

Inconvénients

I would say the food tracker. I wish it was easier to write down and track the information better. This would have helped me with my nutrition and my overall physical health goals.

Avantages

I appreciate the variety of exercises to choose from when designing a training program. It is very nice to receive an email when a client completes their work out and the YouTube demos attached are very helpful.

Inconvénients

It would be nice to have more tracking options available for progress photos or graphing weight for example

Avantages

Cost. It's very low priced compared to the competition
Reasonably easy to use
feature works well for almost all clients

Inconvénients

It's missing some features that would be beneficial in planning a clients program

That's my main issue

I would prefer being able automatically track PRs and estimate a 1RM

Which saves me time

Avantages

The feature of sending exercises and getting feedback on the metrics

Inconvénients

you cannot upload a lot of pictures , on the app

Avantages

I like how easy it is to use the software

Inconvénients

Nothing I like least, it seems to be a good software

Avantages

How it becomes much more efficient with each update

Inconvénients

When I first used this software it was glitchy

Avantages

The ability to share content with my clients

Inconvénients

that I cannot download my content to my computer easily

Avantages

I love that i can connect with my trainer virtually from anywhere in the world.

Inconvénients

I wish their was a nutritional guide tied to my workout plan for the month.

Avantages

Lots of good features, seems to be based more at the American market but does work reasonably well for UK

Inconvénients

Diary not linked to Mac diaries, Mac not as well supported as windows platforms

Avantages

I liked how it was easy to communicate with your trainer.

Inconvénients

It was very jumbled and structured poorly.

Avantages

I can copy workoits to clients with similar abilitues to save me time. Also, the fact that I am alerted,when they have completed workout is great.

Inconvénients

I would like for clients to be able to make comments on completed workout through the app, not just the website.

Avantages

That I can have workouts reoccur weekly and allows my clients automatic feedback. The messaging is a great way to help motivate my clients.

Inconvénients

That I am not able to click on more then one client when adding workouts. Also that I cannot use a weight percentage chart.

Avantages

Easy to use and easy to change so you can use it before or change it during the workout. The layout is also super simple.

Inconvénients

While you can add your own exercises I feel like there are plenty of common exercises not listed. Very minor criticism.

Avantages

Love the exercise database and ability to add new exercises. The new superset ("complex") feature is great.

Inconvénients

Would like to see the superset feature have a way to write notes for the superset, not just reps. Also perhaps a time block. Say I want the client to complete as many supersets as possible in 5 minutes, or do the superset EMOM.
Would love to see the capability to quickly create a tabata block. Need to be able to select exercises, time per tabata round, and rest period. Super bonus would be including a tabata timer built into the app.

Avantages

Links to videos are so helpful for my clients. Also that it emails them directly and they can login at anytime

Inconvénients

the user interface needs a face lift to look current. It looks too dated and techy. It should look modern with some color

Avantages

I like making custom routines for my clients. It doesn't take long to do it. Even if a demo of a workout isn't on there, I can search it and add it on my own.

Inconvénients

The only issue that I have had with this software is a few times when I have designed a workout, it shows a duplicate and my clients have said that it has emailed it twice to them when I only sent it once. Not a big deal though.

Avantages

The ease of managing multiple clients is absolutely incredible of this extremely user-friendly format!

Inconvénients

There is significant lag when copying and pasting workouts from one client to the other, but other than that we have no complaints

Avantages

Simply put, the app is very intuitive. Building a workout is fast and easy. I haven't gone to the pay plan yet but am excited about using the online forms to simplify documentation for my clients.

Inconvénients

The only negative was one of my questions took a bit of time to get the answer. Had I looked closer I would have seen the answer was at the bottom of the page in question. I'd suggest a better tutorial for people like me that overlook these things.

Avantages

Easy to get homework from my trainer, easy to mark complete, easy to view video demos

Inconvénients

A bit clunky to move around from one thing to another (exercise to timer and back, etc.), no ability to customize, would like ability to save exercises and put together my own work out plans as well as ones assigned by trainer.

Avantages

The diet tracking! And the measurement feature!

Inconvénients

I forget to hit update a lot! That’s more user error 😉

Avantages

The ability to add links to exercise videos of my choice and to add exercises that are not featured.

Inconvénients

So far so good. I have not encountered any problems and the interface seems to be easy to use from a client standpoint.
