FitSW

FitSW is a coaching platform for trainers and gyms that combines program design, progress monitoring, client communication, and business transactions. It is most compelling for coaches managing structured plans and mixed one-to-one or group services, while very small practices should weigh its client caps carefully.

Its broad workflow coverage is a strength, but the free tier supports only two clients and the paid options are tied to distinct trainer or gym scales.

Overview

Trainers can create and assign fitness programs, monitor exercise progress, and automate results tracking, profile creation, and multi-day programs. Custom metrics and compliance tracking help coaches follow adherence as well as outcomes. Scheduling, client portals, goals, forms, assessments, group coaching, and member communications make it more than a workout log.

Payment tools support packages, subscriptions, and individual sessions. Livestreaming, interval timers, and public class listings add group-class capability. That breadth suits businesses combining coaching, billing, and classes; a coach seeking only simple workout records may find the wider system unnecessary.

Key features

• Programming and progress: Build programs, assign them, track exercise progress, and define custom metrics. Compliance tracking gives coaches a way to monitor whether clients follow plans.
• Communication: In-app messaging and push notifications keep client contact alongside coaching activity.
• Sales and payments: Sell packages, subscriptions, and single sessions with payment-processing and billing tools.
• Classes: Livestreaming, interval timers, and public listings support remote and group instruction.
• Gym administration: Gym plans provide multiple trainer accounts, shared client profiles and exercise lists, plus an admin account. This is more suitable for coordinated teams than a solo trainer account.
• Mobile access: iOS and Android apps support clients and professionals. The apps offer English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew, and FitSW says it serves users in 100 countries.

Pricing

Free and trainer plans

Free For Trainers has no published price and includes fitness programs, exercise progress tracking, compliance tracking, a fitness blog, and custom metrics. The free client limit is two, making it useful for trying the workflow or supporting a very small practice, but restrictive for a growing roster.

Premium for Trainers costs $16.66 a month, billed monthly. The client limit can be selected from 5 to 1,000. It adds program creation and automation, progress tracking, custom metrics, compliance tracking, packages, sessions, subscriptions, digital PAR-Q forms, and document management. It is the natural step for an individual coach who needs paid-business tools and more than two clients.

Premium features are available free for 30 days, giving prospective subscribers a meaningful evaluation period before monthly billing.

Gym plans

Premium for Gyms costs $49.99 a month, billed monthly. It includes multiple trainer accounts, shared profiles and exercise lists, an admin account, and program creation, automation, and progress tracking. The separate For Gyms plan is also $49.99 per month, with a selectable client limit from 60 to 2,000. These scales fit established gyms better than a solo operator; confirm which gym configuration matches the required client capacity.

Enterprise uses custom pricing and adds a corporate account for managing locations, alongside multi-trainer administration and shared data. It is aimed at organizations operating across sites rather than small studios.

Platforms

FitSW provides iOS and Android apps. Mobile language support covers English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew.

Who it's for

Choose FitSW if you are an independent trainer needing programming, adherence records, forms, payments, and client messaging in one workflow, or a gym coordinating several trainers and shared client data. Its group-class and sales tools also suit practices mixing memberships, sessions, and livestreams. It is less suitable when two free clients are insufficient but a paid plan is not justified, or when you need only a minimal tracker.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad coaching-to-business coverage: Programs, progress, compliance, communication, forms, scheduling, and payments sit in one service.
• Scales beyond solo work: Trainer limits reach 1,000 clients, gym options reach 2,000, and team plans include shared administration.
• Useful class support: Livestreaming, timers, and public listings extend the platform to group instruction.
• Accessible mobile delivery: Native iOS and Android apps support six languages.

Cons

• Free tier is tightly capped: Two clients limits its practical use for an active coaching business.
• Gym pricing starts at a business scale: The $49.99 monthly gym options may be excessive for a small studio.
• Plan choice is complicated: Trainer and gym tiers use different client ranges and feature bundles, so capacity must be matched carefully.

Verdict

FitSW is a strong choice for trainers and gyms that want programming, compliance, communication, payments, and class delivery together, with room to scale client counts. Choose it when those integrated workflows justify a paid tier; look elsewhere if you need a larger free allowance, a simpler tracker, or a lower entry point for a small roster.
