Being in lockdown doesn’t mean that you can’t train your clients. The fitness industry has adapted to the digital world and provided personal trainers with the software to continue to coach their clients even when they are not in the gym.The use of mobile phones has increased since the beginning of the lockdown, meaning that a personal trainer can leverage this fact to keep communication with their clients going outside their gyms and continue to assist them during the lockdown.At GetApp, we have an unrivalled level of expertise when it comes to recommending personal training apps of all kinds. This includes apps for trainers who will want to use software for a wide range of different purposes. Of course, some are focused on the specific needs of coaches who will be used to putting their clients through a variety of exercise regimes to help them lose weight or keep fit in a safe and effective way. Others help with the organisational side of being a personal trainer and deal with matters like scheduling. Whatever you might need from an app that has been designed for the personal training market, you will be able to find it with GetApp. We have selected four based on the following criteria:Rated 4+ stars by users on GetApp UKMost number of reviews on GetApp UKHigh search volume in the UK1. Mindbody This app does a lot of the administration that inevitably comes with a career of a personal trainer. You can use it to book appointments with clients, to confirm them and even to reach out to new clients who are looking for coaches and personal trainers, too. Mindbody allows you to set up one-off or recurring billing to suit a wide range of different business models.   Mindbody’s main dashboard demonstrated ( Source )This app is designed to grow a business from a few clients into something altogether more sustainable. If you are the sort of personal trainer who wants software that will take care of business for you, to help you keep on top of a busy schedule without taking too much time away from training, then it is certainly worth a look at.Pricing – From £119 per monthDevices – Suits Android, iOS and browser-based usersRated – UK users rate it 4 out of 5Worth knowing – No trial version is available with Mindbody2. Acuity Scheduling As the name of this app suggests, it is all about making appointments quickly and easily. Essentially, it allows personal trainers to book their time in front of their customers in the most efficient manner. Need to move something you already have booked in to accommodate a potential new client? With Acuity Scheduling, it all becomes much easier to reorganise your schedule and to notify your clients accordingly.   Acuity Scheduling main dashboard demonstrated ( Source )This app is particularly good at helping you to weed out those clients who book and then either cancel or postpone at short notice, leaving you idle. It will even email or send an SMS message to your clients in the run-up to their appointment with you to remind them that their session is coming up. What’s more, it will do so automatically so you won’t need to break off from your current client to do so. Because a lot of daily tasks are automated for you, there will be fewer emails and calls to respond to.That said, it is very customisable so you can still organise some things in a more hands-on way if you want.Pricing – From £12 (around $15) per monthDevices – Suits Android, iOS and browser-based usersRated – UK users rate it 4.8 out of 5Worth knowing – 98 per cent of users recommend Acuity Scheduling3. My PT Hub This is an app for personal trainers that does not take up a lot of storage space on your device because it is cloud based. It does a lot of the scheduling tasks that other personal trainer apps do but it also helps you to manage things like nutritional programmes for your clients, too. This is a good app for personal trainers who act more as life coaches and who take a holistic approach to their clients’ needs.PT Hub’s display demonstrated ( Source ) My PT Hub has lots of workout templates for you to make use of, as well. This makes it useful for running sessions remotely when you cannot meet your clients face-to-face. The user interface relies on a drag and drop functionality which means that it is ideal for all kinds of users, even technophobes.Pricing – From £17 (around $20) per monthDevices – Suits Android, iOS and browser-based usersRated – UK users rate it 4.6 out of 5Worth knowing – A free version of My PT Hub is available, albeit with limited functions4.
