What is the best personal trainer app for online coaching? (I tried 12)

[@TheTDA]

My dude, I cannot overstate how valuable this video was for me. Heading back to the whiteboard before I go any further. THANK YOU

[@PropaneFitness]

Glad it was helpful for you man! Got some great stuff along this line coming up on the channel, stay tuned 👊️

[@PropaneFitness]

Just uploaded a new video to our channel about this that I think you’ll find useful T

[@kinein]

I hit subscribe after 2 minutes because I felt this was authentic and raw. Real. No bs

[@nellsimpson9307]

I have been using google sheets and I can see what clients are doing. U can also link videos so I have linked to my videos …taken a while to put together but easy to follow for me and easy to put reps and weights in for clients

[@tomhutchinsonpt]

Thanks for this. I have been using google sheets for years but have had a few clients recently ask about an app. Having previously worked at a company that forced us to use an certain app for all our programming and going through the hard process of adding all the programs, exercise database etc in that app I am wary about about using one again. I will do a bit more research (client preferences and app usability) before diving in.

[@connorjohnstone9743]

What I noticed was the lack of touch on client retention features like with trainerize I know they have videos for exercises linked with each and if you have more nuanced exercises you can add your own videos and queues they also tell the client everytime they've hit a training milestone which is my whole business model

[@jngfitness2001]

I'm currently making the transition from in person training to online. Would you recommend using Trainerize or at least start with it and then move on to a better performing coaching app, if necessary? I'm really confused as to the best performing and ideal one. This guy is the 4th person who's video I've watched and has been a bit vague on which one stands out from the rest and the one people should strongly consider using. I simply don't want to set my set myself up for failure right off the bat by choosing the wrong app that will perform poorly, making my job harder to deliver to my clients. Any clarity you can shed here would be greatly appreciated.

[@3DOMSPEECHUNITY]

Just starting out as PT THIS IS AMAZING

[@PropaneFitness]

[@dar540]

Hi there is there any chance you could show us your Google sheets setup for programming? I am currently using PDFs with hyperlinks to my KZbin exercise tutorials but for periodized stuff it's kind of lacking. Great video thanks for the content

[@DrMdini]

Thank you for this, great advice! I am a Physical Therapist and all I want to do is upload videos I am performing, with voice-over or text instructions on how to perform, and then send that to my clients with sets/reps. I might look at Medbridge. Any ideas?

[@modphysique]

If you are a PT I have used medbridge and the upload time for your own videos takes like 45 minutes. That was a few years ago last I used it but thought it worth mentioning. Therapeutic Associates uses it and you might chat with one of them if you're a PT.

[@ScienceBasedFitness]

This isn't what I meant to search lol but was super helpful And definitely has me considering one of these programs lol.

[@Tommy.deleybrothers]

How do you get a automatic hold on your memberships? Like for example which client pays for what and how long and when does the membership ends… Notion doesn’t do that I think?

[@bizbuildershawaii1719]

This is a very informative video. Has the polio mobile browser layout been a problem to use since there is no app? Is the my PT Hub app useful?

[@PropaneFitness]

Glad you found it helpful 👌 - you'll love the rest of our channel too. For podia you can add the website to home-screen to create a pseudo-app, which works nicely. I haven't tried the MyPTHub mobile app but from the previews it looks pretty smooth.

Which of these would be best for a dance coach? Some apps have features I simply don’t utilize like meal plans etc.

[@ExerciseElixirPCa]

Hi Yusef, great video. When you say group coaching do you mean running live classes via video call, or more like selling exercise programs as digital products?

[@PropaneFitness]

Thanks Dr G! So here's the full model of how we use group coaching: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ3KZ4WIYtxpopI

[@ExerciseElixirPCa]

@@PropaneFitness Thank you so much! I realized I was also following you on twitter for quite some time now, but I just discovered your channel through this video. Also interested why you chose notion over google docs or sheets for goal setting or client CRM.

[@ettcnt3822]

what would be the best app for group coaching? Somewhere where the clients follow one same routine and can interact daily ...

[@PropaneFitness]

We actually cover the full process for that (with free software) here if you're interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ3KZ4WIYtxpopI

[@bodywarefit]

The diamond in the rough: PTminder, an online fitness management software for all your needs. For a solo trainer, a team of trainers or a gym

[@riffdex]

What’s the difference between PTminder and TrueCoach? I notice they are both by Xplor?

[@riffdex]

@@bodywarefit Does PTminder have an integrated Calendar system and automated reminders sent to clients? I have been asking TrueCoach to add this feature for the last two years and they haven’t. I’m going to leave TrueCoach if they can’t provide this essential feature.

[@bodywarefit]

@@riffdex There is complete calendar integration and reminders via text or emails can be set per client. You can also set up assessments, training and nutrition programs. Try it out and see if it fits your needs.

Great video, watching it a year late😅 . Would love to hear your views on still some other apps: Bridge Athletic; CoachMePlus; and TeamBuildR. Have you checked those out? For disclosure I'm currently trying out Bridge but I personally don't like it. I realize it's geared towards the "institutional S&C coach" (college team, pro team, etc.) - but I don't like the interface, it's not "simple enough" for me as the (would-be) Coach - and I don't think it's very aesthetically pleasing anyway. CoachMePlus looked nice, and I may try it again properly. Would love to year your or anyone else's thoughts on these.

[@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507]

Kahunas is one that looks good too

[@kbet4103]

Great video have learnt so much more about online person training and you have bought up apps I've not heard of. I have been a personal trainer over 10 years and am only now trying something like this. Writing programs has always been one of my biggest strengths (through 18 years of own training experience), and with a very busy lifestyle and 3 children to take care of I'm finding it hard to get extra income to survive while everything is getting so expensive. I can see alot of the apps you are restricted for program writing with their own interface, for someone that writes fairly in-depth and specific programs, what apps are anyone's personal favourites that allow this? I like the idea on Apotheo where it uses Google sheets. Trying to figure out which all to commit too. Any input would be amazing thank you so much

[@PropaneFitness]

Glad it was helpful K 👊️ Totally agree. Most of these apps are too bloated, and slow down both the coach and client experience. Have you seen our overview video of our process? I think it'll be very helpful for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ3KZ4WIYtxpopI
