ABC Trainerize vs TrainHeroic

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

• ABC Trainerize does appointment booking, client food logging, nutrition plans and your own app in the stores, and TrainHeroic does not. We checked both against their pricing pages.
• ABC Trainerize lists automations, client check-ins, intake forms, habit tracking, body metrics, video form checks and wearable syncing where TrainHeroic does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.
• TrainHeroic lists a programme marketplace and progress photos where ABC Trainerize 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.

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

TrainHeroic

A clean, focused programming app that nails workout building and analytics without overwhelming bells and whistles, suited to coaches who want simplicity done well.

• The notification centre is really good, showing client readiness, intensity, completed workouts and what needs programming today. 3:16
• Really easy to program and add sessions from your library straight into a client's calendar. 5:43
• Teams feature lets you create shared training calendars and mini challenges, building community and stickiness. 6:32
• It is just for programming, so if you want nutrition or other features you will not find them here. 9:36
