Trainzo vs Trainerize.

Trainerize is the category incumbent: a huge feature list, nutrition, payments and a branded-app option — with pricing where the features you want are split across tiers and sold as add-ons on top of the headline price.

Trainzo is deliberately smaller: the core coaching loop, priced by roster size, with habits, goals and check-ins from the first paid plan, automations from Pro — and nothing sold as an add-on.

If you need meal tracking or in-app client billing today, Trainerize wins today. If you want the core loop without the add-on arithmetic — and a platform where being a coach and someone’s client does not take two email addresses — that is what Trainzo is for.

A client with several coaches

TrainerizePossible, as a separate account per business — on the phone you log out of one to open the other

• Nutrition coaching. Meal and macro tracking, nutrition goals and MyFitnessPal sync — Trainzo has none of this yet.
• Getting paid by your clients inside the app. Trainerize does it today (as an add-on); Trainzo does not yet.
• A branded app. Your logo and colours on Pro for a one-time fee, or your own store listing on Studio Plus — a real offer Trainzo does not have.
• Track record. More than a decade of edge cases found and fixed, and integrations (Garmin, Fitbit, Withings, MyFitnessPal, Zapier, Mindbody) Trainzo has not built.
• If you need any of these this month, choose Trainerize. Genuinely.

• The price is the price. No add-on arithmetic — the number on the plan is what you pay, and nothing is sold on top.
• One identity. A coach who trains under another coach — or coaches themselves — needs no second email and no second account, and coaching yourself never uses a client slot. Each coaching relationship is sealed from the others.
• A bigger free plan. Three clients, no card, no expiry — a working practice for a coach starting out, not a demo.
• The library ships on every plan: 2,004 movements with instructions and cues, and 25 programmes built from the strength-and-conditioning literature, ready to copy and edit.
• Focus. Trainzo does the coaching loop — build, deliver, log, see — and does not carry a decade of features you will never open.

On Trainzo an account is a person, not a role. The same person can coach a roster, be a client of one coach, be a client of three coaches, or all of it at once: one email, one login, and each coaching relationship kept private from the others.

Here is what that means in practice. Say you coach twenty clients and you also train with a powerlifting coach. On some platforms that means two accounts and a second email address. On Trainzo it is one login with two sides. Your coach never sees your clients, and your clients never see your coach.
