WeStrive

Overview

WeStrive is a coaching-business platform for personal trainers and gyms that brings workout programming, client communication, progress tracking and nutrition planning together. It suits coaches who want those jobs in one service, especially when their active roster fits its client-count tiers. Its broad programming and nutrition tools are a strong draw; the main compromise is that paid costs rise as the client roster grows.

Key features

The program builder covers timed circuits, AMRAP and Tabata workouts as well as habits, surveys and daily tasks. More than 1,500 exercise videos give coaches a substantial library to draw on, while the nutrition planner includes over one million foods and 10,000 recipes. That makes WeStrive a better fit for coaches who combine workout programming with food guidance than for those seeking only a basic exercise-plan tool.

Coaches can schedule messages, surveys, habits, chained programs and monthly recurring payments. Automating those recurring tasks can reduce routine follow-up and billing work, but it does not remove the subscription cost attached to client capacity. Progress graphs and habit tracking give coaches and clients ways to follow changes over time.

The mobile app supports clients and coaches following programs, tracking habits, viewing progress graphs and training on the go, in more than 14 languages. Clients can also use the service through westrive.com and train.westrive.com. The integrations directory names Stripe, YouTube, Zapier, Club Automation, Vimeo, Apple Health, Google Fit, nutrition software and Fit3D, covering payment, media, activity and other tools. A directory of integrations does not by itself establish how deeply each connection works.

WeStrive says it uses Microsoft Azure and MongoDB and follows modern security practices. It says it does not store payment-card details and that its payment processors adhere to PCI-DSS standards. For Google Fit, it says users choose which data to import, that data is not used or sold for advertising, and it can be deleted on request. Coaches can contact live support or email [email protected].

Pricing

WeStrive offers a free plan and a 14-day trial. The free First Client plan costs nothing and covers up to one active client, payment processing, a free custom website and group messaging. That is a practical way for a solo coach to start, but the one-client cap makes it unsuitable for a growing roster. Archived clients do not count toward billing, which helps avoid paying for clients no longer active.

Paid plans are billed monthly by client capacity: $10 a month for two clients; $19 a month for up to five; $39 a month for up to 15; $60 a month for up to 30; $85 a month for up to 50; $110 a month for up to 75; $130 a month for up to 100; $200 a month for up to 200; and $250 a month for 200+ clients. The two-client tier is the lowest-cost paid option, while higher tiers let a coach keep more clients within one account at a progressively higher monthly bill. Since the tiers are defined by client capacity, coaches should match the plan to their active roster rather than assume a flat fee.

Platforms

WeStrive is available on the web, iOS and Android. Clients can download the iOS or Android app or use the service through its two web addresses, while coaches can use the mobile app to follow programs and track progress alongside clients.

Who it's for

WeStrive is best suited to independent trainers and gyms that want workout and nutrition planning, client communication, progress tracking and recurring billing in one place. Its free tier can serve a coach with one active client; paid tiers offer a clear path for larger rosters. Coaches who need to manage many clients on a fixed, non-scaling fee may find the per-client structure less appealing.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A varied program builder, large exercise-video library and extensive food and recipe database support coaches who need both training and nutrition tools.
• Pros: Scheduling for messages, habits, surveys, chained programs and recurring payments can cut down on repeated administrative tasks.
• Pros: The free plan includes payment processing, a custom website and group messaging, and archived clients do not count toward billing.
• Cons: The free plan is capped at one active client, limiting its usefulness for coaches building a roster.
• Cons: Paid pricing scales by client capacity, so coaches with growing businesses must budget for higher monthly tiers.

Alternatives

For other options, browse Personal Trainer Software. ABC Trainerize is another freemium choice with a free plan capped at one client and a $9 a month Grow plan for two seats. FitPros.io may suit coaches who prioritize a free plan with unlimited clients, a workout builder, client apps, website builder, forms and habit tracking. FitSW is an option for coaches who want a paid trainer plan with a selectable client limit from 5 to 1,000, at $16.66 a month.

My PT Hub is another freemium platform, with a Starter plan at $22.50 a month billed annually and paid monthly for three clients, 50 workouts and 50 nutrition plans. Everfit offers a free Starter tier for up to five clients and a Pro tier at $16 a month, with pricing varying by client count. Trainerfu is worth comparing if branded iOS and Android apps are a priority; its Branded App plan is $75 a month. FitConnect Pro and FitSync are other freemium alternatives.

Verdict

Choose WeStrive if you are a trainer or gym looking to combine structured programming, nutrition planning, client progress and routine communication in one platform, with client capacity that fits its monthly tiers. Its strongest case is breadth: training, food planning and business workflows sit together. Look elsewhere if you need more than one client on a free plan or want costs that do not rise with client capacity.
