FitSW is a coaching platform for building fitness programs, tracking clients, communicating, and taking payments. It is best suited to independent trainers and gyms that want these functions in one service. Its value depends on matching the client-count plan to the size of the business.

Overview

Trainers can build programs, assign them to clients, and track exercise progress, with automation for results tracking, profile creation, and multi-day programs. Custom metrics and compliance tracking make it useful for coaches who need to follow both progress and adherence. It also covers scheduling, client portals, goals, forms, group coaching, and member communication, so it reaches beyond workout programming alone.

Payment tools let users sell packages, subscriptions, and individual sessions. Livestreaming, interval timers, and public class listings add options for group instruction. That breadth is useful for practices combining coaching and classes, though a trainer who only needs basic workout logging may not need the full set.

Key features

• Programs and progress: Create and assign fitness programs, track client exercise progress, and use custom metrics and compliance tracking. This supports structured coaching rather than leaving clients to record workouts without follow-up.
• Client communication: In-app messaging and push notifications keep communication within the service, alongside client portals and forms.
• Business operations: Package, subscription, and session sales sit alongside payment processing and scheduling. This is a practical combination for trainers who manage both coaching and billing.
• Classes and teams: Livestreaming, interval timers, and public class listings support group sessions. Gym plans add multiple trainer accounts, shared client profiles and exercise lists, and an admin account.
• Mobile access: iOS and Android apps are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew.

Pricing

FitSW has a free trainer plan and paid monthly plans. Premium features are available free for 30 days. The Free For Trainers plan includes fitness programs, exercise progress tracking, compliance tracking, a fitness blog, and custom metrics, but the free client limit is 2. That cap makes it suitable for a very small practice or a limited start, not a growing client roster.

Premium for Trainers costs $16.66 a month, billed monthly. Client counts are selectable from 5 to 1000. It includes program creation and automation, progress tracking, custom metrics, compliance tracking, packages, sessions and subscriptions, plus digital PAR-Q forms and document management. It is the more natural paid option for an individual coach; the selected client limit matters as the practice grows.

Premium for Gyms costs $49.99 a month, billed monthly. Gym client counts are selectable from 60 to 2000. The plan adds multiple trainer accounts, shared profiles and exercise lists, and an admin account alongside program creation and progress tracking. Its higher starting cost is justified for a team needing shared administration, but it is a poor fit for a solo trainer who does not need those team tools.

Enterprise has custom pricing. It is aimed at businesses managing locations and includes a corporate account, multiple trainer accounts, shared client profiles and exercise lists, an admin account, and enterprise fitness-business management. It is relevant when a single gym plan does not match a multi-location operation.

Platforms

FitSW offers iOS and Android apps. It says the service is available across 100 countries and is trusted by more than 20,000 fitness and nutrition professionals.

Who it's for

FitSW is a strong fit for independent trainers who want programming, progress and compliance tracking, client communication, and payment tools together. Gyms can benefit from shared profiles and trainer accounts, while businesses managing locations have an Enterprise option. The two-client free ceiling is restrictive for established coaches, and the gym plan's $49.99 monthly price makes less sense for a solo business without team needs.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Program creation, automated tracking, custom metrics, and compliance tools support structured client follow-up.
• Pro: Packages, subscriptions, sessions, and payment processing cover several common coaching sales models.
• Pro: Shared profiles, exercise lists, and admin access give gym teams a coordinated workspace.
• Con: The free plan's two-client limit is too small for most active coaching practices.
• Con: The $49.99 monthly gym plan costs substantially more than the trainer plan, so solo coaches pay for team-oriented capacity they may not use.

Alternatives

Consider ABC Trainerize if a free plan with one client seat or a $9.00 monthly Grow plan with two client seats better matches a very small practice. My PT Hub is another option for trainers who want a web platform as well as mobile apps; its Starter plan is $22.50 per month, billed annually and paid monthly, with 3 clients, 50 workouts, and 50 nutrition plans.

Coach.me is an alternative for habit coaching, with a free self-coaching and community-support option and Habit Coaching at $87.00 per month. Helms offers a free plan for up to 7 clients with training, nutrition, check-ins, and progress tracking. Satori has a free Scholar plan for people studying for a coaching certification, with unlimited pro-bono clients.

Traneos is worth considering for a smaller practice: its free plan supports up to 5 clients, basic tracking, in-app reminders, and a 14-day Pro trial. Everfit offers a forever-free Starter plan for up to 5 clients. Exercise.com Websites is a custom-package option for businesses prepared to request a quote.

Verdict

FitSW is a sound choice for trainers and gyms that want programming, client tracking, communication, and payment workflows under one roof. Independent coaches should weigh the two-client free cap against the $16.66 monthly trainer plan; teams get the most from the gym plan's shared administration. Look elsewhere if your needs are limited to a small free roster or if a gym does not need multi-trainer tools.
