Personal trainer app guide
Reviewed and updated
Short answer
Personal trainer apps solve different jobs. izow is the low-cost business-management option for session-based trainers, including coach-approved booking requests; workout programming, online coaching, instant self-service scheduling, and gym administration require different categories.
Training schedule
Give clients a clear request path, approve the time, then manage the session from the same business record used for packages and balances.
izow is best suited to trainers who manage their own clients, sell prepaid packages, and want booking requests, schedules, payments, balances, and finances connected. Import contacts by CSV, offer 15-minute start times, approve every public request, and choose manual records, Stripe online payments, or Square in-person collection.
Choose another platform when your main requirement is building workouts, delivering nutrition plans, tracking client fitness progress, providing a client portal, managing memberships, or administering a multi-trainer gym.

Common questions
The best fit depends on the job. izow is built for independent session-based trainers who need business records, packages, scheduling, payments, balances, income, and expenses rather than workout programming.
No. izow manages the business side of personal training and does not build or deliver workout and nutrition programs.
Yes. A trainer can share public availability with 15-minute start times. A client can request a time without an account, but it remains pending until the trainer approves or declines it.
Free supports up to 3 active clients with CSV import, booking requests, scheduling, packages, manual records, receipts, income, and reminders. Pro costs $7.99 monthly or $79 yearly and adds unlimited clients, Stripe, Square, branding, planning, expenses, tax tools, and exports.
