Kahunas vs ABC Trainerize

What each one actually costs

The real monthly figure at four roster sizes with the add-ons each platform forces on you included, from the same engine the shortlist quiz uses. The cheaper of the two is marked on every row.

What is actually different

• Kahunas lists selling courses, group chat and progress photos where ABC Trainerize does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.
• ABC Trainerize does appointment booking, and Kahunas does not. We checked both against their pricing pages.
• ABC Trainerize lists intake forms, leaderboards, body metrics, video form checks and wearable syncing where Kahunas does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.

I have used both

Condensed from my own reviews. Every line links to the second I said it, so you can check any of it. Prices in the table above are from this week; the videos are older and the figures in them are not.

Kahunas

A clean, simple coaching platform with comprehensive features including built-in nutrition tracking, workout programs, and automation tools at reasonable pricing.

• Has one of the largest nutrition databases built in, so you don't need separate apps like MyFitnessPal or MacroFactor. 2:13
• Provides ready-made templates, questionnaires and forms so you don't have to build everything from scratch. 5:20
• Uses their own professional exercise videos rather than random YouTube clips with cheesy background music. 9:05
• Zapier and Make integrations are only available on the business tier, not the starter or pro plans. 13:39
• Voice notes are handy but if clients send them back you have to listen rather than read, which takes more time. 13:07

ABC Trainerize

A robust, feature-rich platform that I use personally as a client and my coach has stuck with for five years.

• Having training templates is really good if you're just getting started, plus the workout builder is helpful. 1:38
• It gives you exercise videos so you don't have to record them yourself. 1:45
• I actually really like this in the gym: I open the app, start my session, log my reps and weights, and see how I'm progressing each week. 7:03
• The messaging service is a little bit clunky, not that intuitive, and not like WhatsApp or iMessage. 4:56
• A little noisy when you sign in; I do think a lot of these apps are quite heavy on their data and dashboards. 4:28
• Getting this set up will take time because creating all the template programs is a bit time-consuming to start with. 6:36
