Traneos

Traneos is software for fitness coaches who want to manage client records and routine coaching work in one service. It is strongest for independent trainers and small studios that need follow-ups as well as plans and progress tracking. Its free tier is a low-risk starting point, but client and trainer caps make plan choice important as a business grows.

Overview

Traneos brings client goals, progress, payments, schedules, diet information, and coaching tasks together. The Daily Brief sorts clients by issues such as overdue payments, inactivity, or plans nearing expiration, then suggests next actions. That gives a coach a prioritized follow-up queue, though deciding how to respond remains part of the job.

Key features

Client profiles can hold body metrics and progress photos alongside goals, payments, schedules, and diet information. Workout scheduling, diet-plan creation, and check-in forms support the recurring work of coaching, while the client portal does not require an app installation. That is useful for trainers who want clients to access plans without adding another app to their routine.

Automated reminders cover plan expirations, payments, and check-ins by email and WhatsApp. WhatsApp messages require each client’s opt-in. Starter includes 100 WhatsApp messages a month; Basic and higher remove that quota and add bulk broadcasts. Coaches who depend on frequent WhatsApp outreach may find Starter restrictive.

Pro and Studio include AI-assisted writing and check-in recaps, as well as AI body-metrics scanning and diet estimation. Client-specific AI messages stay drafts until a trainer sends them, keeping the final communication under the coach’s control. Spreadsheet import provides a review of rows to import or skip, which helps coaches check a migration before bringing records into the service.

Traneos says client information remains under the coaching business’s control, with the service processing it on the business’s behalf, and that client data is not sent to advertising networks. Its privacy policy describes TLS in transit, encryption at rest, hashed passwords, role-based access controls, and signed file URLs. Subscriptions use Razorpay; Traneos says it does not retain full card numbers and supports export of client, payment, log, and photo data. Support aims to answer general email within one business day on weekdays in IST, and billing or refund reviews within three business days.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and supports up to five clients, basic client and progress tracking, in-app reminders, and a 14-day Pro trial. It is a useful entry point for a coach with a small roster, but the five-client ceiling limits how long it can serve an expanding practice.

Starter costs $6.99 a month and raises the limits to 15 clients and 30 open leads. It adds automated follow-ups and 100 WhatsApp messages per month. It suits a solo coach who needs more than the free roster and moderate messaging, but it does not offer the unlimited WhatsApp included in the next tier.

Basic costs $14.99 a month, covers up to 50 clients, and includes unlimited WhatsApp, bulk broadcasts, and everything in Starter. It is the more practical fit for a busier solo practice that communicates with clients regularly, though it remains capped at 50 clients.

Pro costs $24.99 a month and removes the client cap. It includes the coach plus up to five trainers, an analytics dashboard, and AI body-metrics scanning and diet estimation. This is the first tier suited to a larger client roster or a small coaching team, and the point at which Traneos’s AI tools become available.

Studio costs $49.99 a month and includes unlimited clients, the coach plus up to 15 trainers, and everything in Pro. Its expanded seat allowance makes it the natural fit for boutique studios; a solo coach is unlikely to need that added team capacity. The free tier and paid client caps give smaller practices a graduated path, but coaches should compare the per-month cost with the roster and trainer capacity they actually need.

Platforms

Traneos is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its client portal works without an app installation.

Who it's for

Independent fitness coaches can use Traneos to keep progress, plans, payments, and follow-ups together, while the 14-day Pro trial offers a brief way to explore the higher tier before deciding. Boutique studios have a higher-capacity option in Studio. It is less compelling for a coach whose roster outgrows 50 clients but who does not need Pro’s team allowance or AI features, since Basic still has a fixed client limit.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The Daily Brief surfaces payment, inactivity, and plan-expiry issues in one prioritized queue, helping coaches direct follow-up attention.
• Pros: The client portal works without an app install, and profiles combine progress and practical coaching records.
• Pros: Coaches can export client, payment, log, and photo data, and Traneos says client data is not sent to advertising networks.
• Cons: The free tier stops at five clients, Starter at 15, and Basic at 50, so a growing roster can require a move to Pro.
• Cons: WhatsApp requires client opt-in, and Starter’s 100-message monthly quota may constrain coaches who rely on frequent outreach.
• Cons: AI tools are reserved for Pro and Studio, so lower-cost plans do not include them.

Alternatives

Coaching Software is the broader category to browse if Traneos’s combination of client records and messaging is not the right fit.

Choose My PT Hub if a free plan is not essential and you want to compare its 3-client Starter plan at $22.50 a month, billed annual paid monthly, with 50 workouts and 50 nutrition plans. ABC Trainerize is worth considering if you want a free option limited to one coaching client, or a service available on Android and iOS without web being among its listed platforms.

FitSW may suit coaches looking for a selectable client limit from 5 to 1,000 and fitness program creation and automation; its Premium for Trainers plan is $16.66 a month. Everfit offers a forever-free plan for up to five clients, so it is another option for a small roster; its Pro plan is $16 a month, with pricing varying by client count.

Coach.me is a more relevant alternative for habit tracking and community support, with habit coaching at $25 a month. Exercise.com Websites is another paid alternative. Helms has a free plan for up to seven clients that includes training, nutrition, check-ins, and progress, but excludes social scheduling, its AI suite, and funnels. Coachable is another free-plan alternative.

Verdict

Traneos is a strong fit for independent fitness coaches who want records, planning, reminders, and payment follow-up in one workflow, with a free tier for a five-client practice and paid tiers that scale to studios. Its clearest reason to choose it is the combination of a prioritized Daily Brief and a client portal that needs no app install. Look elsewhere if your roster will exceed the lower-tier caps but you do not need Pro’s extra trainers and AI tools, or if you need more than Starter’s WhatsApp allowance without paying for Basic.
