Trainerize
An all-in-one online coaching platform — build workouts, publish them to a branded client app, track progress and message clients in one place.

What it is
Fitbod
A consumer training app that builds each workout on the fly, adjusting exercise choice, sets and load based on logged history and which muscles are recovered.
Trainerize
The category's default answer. You build programmes from an exercise library with video, assign them to clients, and they follow along in a phone app that also handles check-ins, photos, body stats and messaging.
Best for
Fitbod
Understanding the competition. Many clients have tried an app like this — know what it does well so you can explain what coaching adds: context, technique and accountability.
Trainerize
Coaches running a book of online clients who want one system rather than a spreadsheet, a video folder and a WhatsApp thread.
Watch out for
Fitbod
It is built for self-coached users, not for coaches to deliver programmes. For client delivery, use a coaching platform; for your own awareness, the trial is enough.
Trainerize
Pricing steps up with active clients, so the maths only works once you are charging properly. The workout builder is powerful but fiddly — budget a weekend to build your template library before your first client sees it.
Editorial comparison — nothing here is paid placement. Pricing changes often; treat the vendor’s own page as the truth. How we review
