Power your personal training business with the best software that (No) money can buy
Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of any wildly successful personal training business, is the software.
Why?
Because, you can never scale or sustain a business with poor processes, client management systems, or financial inconsistency.
The problem here is that, although this is exactly why personal training software was made, you can’t always expect something for nothing.
Companies invest millions every year to develop software and in return, they expect your money. Typically in the form of a monthly software usage fee.
Is this worth it?
For most people, the answer would be an astounding yes. Though that’s not the point.
The point is – Is there a way that you could find a Free PT Software that can:
A.) Provide the same level of essential functionality that their costly counterparts can
B.) Help you reduce (Or eliminate) software fees for your business to maximise profitability
Well, our team dove head-first into the market with some good and bad news…
The bad news: At the time of researching, there were no real notable software solutions available for free… Only paid services that are listed as ‘Free’ on many websites as they offer a trial (Or limit the amount of clients you can have).
The good news: We just partnered with a corporate partner to make one. A free software for personal trainers. A feature packed PT software solution for you.
Here’s how it stacks up against the big players.

VIGYR PT Software
Let’s start with our top pick of the bunch! The new (actually free) personal training software from your friends here at VIGYR.
Sound a little biased? Good!
We are, and rightfully so. After all, this is the only software that you can get our hands on that won’t restrict features, clientele, or support.
This means we onboard the cost of support, maintenance, and software development. In fact, the only thing you will ever be charged for is if you decide to direct debit or process payments (This is a standard fee charged by debit companies and banks).
It’s also why we aren’t worried about writing an article that lists our competitors. This software is all about you.
What VIGYR Does Do:
- Offer a feature-rich personal training software that’s perfect for businesses new and old.
- Support your business as it grows with a world-leading team dedicated to our personal training partners.
- Completely eliminate the risk of signing-up with a software company.
What VIGYR Doesn’t Do:
- Complicate things with ‘fancy’ sounding features that you don’t actually need (And that others will charge you more for).
- Provide a feature when someone else does it better, for free.. Your members can use MyFitnessPal or Strava to log nutrition/workouts with you instead.
- Restrict how many clients you can have
- Make you pay software fee’s… (This is kind of an important one).

- Integrated Payment and Billing Solutions

Trainerize is a software company founded in 2012, operating under parent company ABC Financial Services.
They’re also the only other company on this list that truly offers a free personal training software alternative.
The catch?
Well, you can only have one client. So, unless you’re looking to be a one-client band – you’ll be looking to upgrade to one of their paid tiers. The price here will rise as you get more clients.
Trainerize offers a range of good features including online-client sign-on and automated messaging, also throwing in some miscellaneous add-ons such as nutrition tracking.
Should you be looking for a piece of PT Software that’s used by many others – Trainerize could be a good alternative for your business if you’re willing to front the monthly fees.

PTMinder
PTMinder is a software company that offers a range of solutions for the fitness industry. More specifically, personal trainers.

Like most companies operating in this space, PTMinder offers a range of essential features such as payment processing and client management while also offering some extras such as a branded app.
PTMinder takes a similar pricing strategy to Trainerize – charging for the total quantity of clients you have in your database so you’ll have to be mindful when taking on new customers.

As you would expect by now, MyPTHub adapts a client-based pricing strategy and charges for the quantity of people in your database.
In terms of features, you will find a similar feature-set to the other software alternatives on this list, offering the essentials plus a little bit extra (Such as apple watch integration).
