My PT Hub 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

• My PT Hub lists selling courses and progress photos where ABC Trainerize does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.
• ABC Trainerize lists intake forms and leaderboards where My PT Hub 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.

My PT Hub

A feature-rich, clean platform that suits established coaches, but the flat-fee pricing is rough if you're just starting out.

• Offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can test it properly before committing. 1:22
• Has its own extensive video library for exercises, so you don't need to spend time shooting your own. 7:03
• The user interface is very simple and clean, not confusing like some competitors. 7:57
• Flat pricing means you pay the full monthly rate even with just one client, unlike apps that scale with your roster. 3:27
• Not ideal for new coaches trying to save costs because you jump straight to the top-tier price after the trial. 3:32
• Does not integrate with Zapier, which limits automation options with other software. 13:36
• The interface felt a bit slow and took time to save, though that may have been due to screen recording. 7:32

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
