Everything Trainerize charges for. Free.
Trainerize starts at $19.80/mo for 5 clients and scales to $225+/mo. FitPros.io gives you the same core coaching tools for $0. Unlimited clients, forever.
Common reasons coaches leave Trainerize
Per-client pricing adds up fast
Trainerize starts at $19.80/mo for 5 clients. Hit 30 clients and you're paying $70/mo. 50 clients? $120/mo. The bill grows with your business. FitPros.io is free at every size.
Add-on costs stack up
Nutrition coaching is $5-45/mo extra. Video coaching is $10/mo. Payment processing is another $10/mo. Custom branding requires Studio Plus at $225+/mo. A trainer using all of these could easily spend $150+/mo before they've earned a dollar.
Complex setup, steep learning curve
Trainerize packs in a lot of features. That comes with a tradeoff: reviewers consistently mention the interface is cluttered and hard to learn. FitPros.io keeps things simple. Most trainers are building programs within minutes.
Built for gym chains, not independent trainers
Trainerize was acquired by ABC Fitness in 2020 and is now part of a 1,000+ employee enterprise fit-tech company. Product direction has shifted toward gym chains and studios. FitPros.io is built by a personal trainer, for personal trainers.

Where Trainerize still wins
This isn't a "we're better at everything" page. Trainerize has features FitPros.io doesn't, and you should know about them before switching.
Trainerize offers nutrition and meal planning with a smart meal planner, barcode scanning, and MyFitnessPal integration. They have video coaching for live 1-on-1 sessions. They have scheduling and booking with Google Calendar sync. And they have native app store apps and wearable integrations. FitPros.io doesn't offer any of these today.
If those features are essential to how you coach, Trainerize might be the right tool for you.
But if you primarily need workout programming, client management, an exercise library, client apps, and a website, and you'd rather not pay $70-225/mo for it, FitPros.io does all of that for free.
What you get with FitPros.io free
