For a simple way to send clients questionnaires, assign workouts, follow their nutrition and chat, StableFit PRO.

For a full coaching business with nutrition, habits and classes, ABC Trainerize, and for a workout builder with your own exercise videos, TrueCoach or Everfit. Full breakdown below.
How we picked: a trainer’s app has to replace the spreadsheet and the scattered messenger threads. We read each developer’s own App Store description for how you build and assign workouts, what you can track for each client and how you talk to them.
An app to manage fitness clients
StableFit PRO is a tool for trainers who work with clients online and in person: you create and send personal questionnaires, read the answers in a clear format, create and assign workouts and see whether they were done, and follow each client’s measurements, progress photos and nutrition, including calories, protein, fat and carbs. A built-in chat and push notifications keep the conversation out of other messengers.
A coaching app for the gym floor
CoachPulse brings your clients, training plans, schedule, progress and chat into one app. Plans can be reused as templates or built by voice, one-off and recurring sessions sit in a day-by-day schedule, and strength, tonnage, body metrics and personal records are tracked automatically. During a session a live view follows the workout set by set with big controls, and an AI assistant flags plateaus, fatigue and clients who are drifting.
Online coaching platforms
ABC Trainerize covers a whole coaching business for trainers, online coaches, gyms and studios: workout programs and classes, nutrition coaching with meal plans, messaging, habits and progress tracking. TrueCoach centres on a workout builder where you can use its exercise video library or upload your own videos, with messaging to keep clients accountable; clients need a TrueCoach account. Everfit for Coach lets you manage clients on the go, message them, customise exercises, assign training and log workouts, and track body metrics, progress photos and notes.
