iPT Platform
iPT Platform brings website creation, bookings, payments, email marketing, client management and community tools together for personal trainers. Its drag-and-drop website builder includes personal-training templates, SEO tools and custom-domain support. Clients can book one-to-one or group sessions online, with scheduling that can sync to Google Calendar. Payments can be one-off or recurring through Stripe or PayPal, and the platform lists no transaction fee. Email tools cover campaigns, segmentation, automated sequences and performance tracking. Visual workflows can use email, SMS, WhatsApp and voice messages, with conditional logic and booking, form or purchase triggers. iPT is primarily web-based; its full feature set is available in a browser, and Android and iOS are also listed. The free Encyclopedia plan includes business guides, how-to articles and an AI companion. Academy costs $5 a year. Platform plans start at $29 a month for Starter, with Pro at $79 a month and Unlimited at $149 a month. Website, email, funnel, community and appointment allowances differ by plan.
Trainera
Trainera combines gym memberships, payments, door access, staff, scheduling, and a member app in one system. Gyms can configure package prices, currencies, billing cycles, access hours, and entry limits. Members check in with QR cards, while expired or inactive memberships are blocked automatically. The planner supports classes, small groups, open gym, and personal training, with recurring sessions, capacity limits, and rosters. The member app includes bookings, training and nutrition plans, workout and meal tracking, progress records, and messaging. Gyms may enable AI food scanning and plan drafts by membership package; trainers review and approve plans. Online member card sales run through the gym’s own Stripe account with a 0% platform fee. Trainera says it imports members, packages, expiry dates, trainers, and plans from exports without a migration fee. Gym Core costs $149 a month plus $49 per trainer a month; White Label costs $299 a month plus $35 per trainer a month; Studio costs $339 a month plus $29 per trainer a month. The app supports Android, iOS, web, and API access, and is available in 26 languages.
