The ability to scale my systems what has set training software apart in my eyes. I have also found the customer support and the online Q & A group to be very helpful- I've gotten new ideas from other pros while reading the solutions provided by the team. I am excited to see here we can take it from here!
Pros: I find the efficiency of program design to be one of the strongest points. Creating workouts, designing Mesocycle blocks for groups of clients and delivering consistent tracking systems was my favorite thing right out of the gate. It has been a great value to my business to construct a Hybrid Training business. I can provide client messaging services and stay in touch while they complete their program, read and complete coaching, and provide support throughout the week.
Cons: To get the most out of PT Distinction, you'll have to start building routines and schedules with some detail. The good news is that as you spend more time, you can scale your business and deliver a full coaching system that can allow you to train as many clients and groups as you'd like.

This app has helped me a lot to work with people I wouldn't have been able to help before. Reasons such as distance, time, or even not having the right online tool. This app solved these problems. Therefore, this app has helped me get more clients and earn more money.
Pros: This app allows me to guide my clients through their physical training easily, quickly, and safely. In a short time, my clients understand how the app works, making their sessions much easier. Most of my clients train at home and use alternative equipment such as sandbags, kettlebells, TRX sliders, mini-bands, resistance bands, and many of these exercises aren't already in the app. However, the app allows me to create and edit them, along with their corresponding videos. This has been very useful for me.

Cons: I'm from Costa Rica, as are my clients, so I'd like the app to be available in Spanish at some point. Just in case a future client doesn't understand English.
Pablo H. · Personal Trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · April 13, 2026
So far i am enjoying it and have no complaint. The most important part for me is being access my programs daily and assist clients to do the same.
Pros: The simplicity of the app and its efficiency. i can navigate through it easily and also explain to clients how to follow all within.
Cons: Perhaps offer a 1year or 2 payment options. i do not necessarily have cons but i would have few suggestions : improve the refresh button as well.
king S. · FOUNDER · Health, Wellness and Fitness · January 28, 2026
My experience has been good with PT Distinction. I have also utilized Trainerize. I do prefer PTD for it's features. Each time I have reached out to Customer Service/Support, I have received a response back within 24 business hours. This is very much appreciated.
Pros: PT Distinction is user friendly from both a trainer & client perspective. As a trainer, it is nice to be able to manage a client's strength & cardio workouts, education, & nutrition in one place. I like the in-app messaging. It allows the opportunity for clients & trainers to build a stronger relationship, the trainers to be able to support their clients, & for the clients to be able to reach out if there are any concerns within their program. All of the messages are maintained under that client's name, which is very helpful if you need to review them later. The video feature is nice for a client to use if they are struggling with form or just how to perform a particular exercise. The trainer can review the video & respond back quickly. The cost of PT Distinction is reasonable and I appreciate being able to personalize my fitness app.
Cons: Currently, the Calorie Counter feature is lacking a barcode scanner. My understanding is that this will be rectified soon. I also wish it integrated with the MyNetDiary app, which is a far better macro tracking app than MyFitnessPal. I do wish the platform allowed for more integrations with 'smart devices' like Garmin, and Renpho and/or Hume products.
Darla D. · Owner Trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · December 9, 2025
Pros: A like the set up and the customer support. I am next looking forward to helping many people improve their health and fitness.
Cons: So far everything has been great. Every time I have had a question it has always been dealt with. I am not really that good with computers but so far so good.
Abdi B. · Personal trainer · Sports · September 19, 2025
As a new personal trainer I’ve looked at many apps. PT Distinction checks more of the view for what I need and want than any of the others.
Pros: There are so many ways to customize the exercises and workouts. Email support has been very helpful.
Cons: No barcode scanner or way for client to see their macro goals within the tracker. This is not ideal for running training.
Lauri S. · Personal Trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · June 16, 2025
First and foremost, I can document my clients' training progress. This is the reason why I got the app. Clients can monitor their training progress individually or together with me. Furthermore, I can digitally optimize training and nutrition plans. Daily feedback is also part of my daily routine.
Pros: What convinces me most is that I can observe how my clients progressively improve... this is particularly motivating for my clients and of course for me as a trainer!
Cons: Honestly, there's nothing I don't like at the moment... maybe a few more exercises, although you can create your own :)
Moemen C. · Personal Trainer · Sports · June 11, 2025
I have used and will continue to use PT distinction for my coaching business. There is zero other software that comes close!
Pros: Love the ease of use as a trainer and especially having my own personalized app!
Cons: N/A - would love more features for nutrition if able
John M. · Personal Trainer and Health Coach · Health, Wellness and Fitness · May 20, 2024
I'm very happy with PT Distinction overall.
Pros: I like that PTD is continually making improvements and updates to their app so it's a better experience for both coaches and clients.
Cons: The help desk can be slow to resolve issues, and they don't notify me when it is resolved. I always need to "pull" for updates rather than simply receiving them.
Christine W. · Owner, Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach · Health, Wellness and Fitness · April 20, 2024
I've reviewed most health and fitness apps and this trumped them all for me. Customer support is always helpful and prompt.
Pros: It's easy to use and has great functionality that allows customisation to create my own programs and schedule it out for my clients. Love that you can customise the brand of the app to your own.
Cons: Not being able for clients to upload photos in the forms.
Andrew J. · Founder · Health, Wellness and Fitness · April 15, 2024
I have no complaints at all and thoroughly enjoying using PTDistinction. Having the addition of the Facebook groups, GDFY & The Academy has made a HUGE difference. I would absolutely recommend to others to use.
Pros: I did so much research on the different App's available and this came out tops for me in usability, price, functions etc. I used the Gold Done for You Service and joined the Ninja Academy - great resource to use to boost my business model. Since using this for past 5 months or so, i have found it easy to get around, add in bespoke parts for my clients. There is probably so much more that i have still to find to use!!!
Cons: Probably lack of exercises that i use for my clients. I have had to create numerous. My avatar is more middle age/older females, so lots more body weight exercises and mobility needed.
Angela M. · Female Health Coach · Health, Wellness and Fitness · April 10, 2024
It’s good for the starting personal trainers, system price wise . Unfortunately didn’t meet my criteria
Pros: Nothing really , maybe it’s good for the people who only started
Cons: It wasn’t what I was looking for.
Monika B. · Personal Trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · December 20, 2023
Buena, es un software competente y muy personalizable lo que lo hace muy idóneo para los clientes.
Pros: Me gusta mucho lo personalizable que es el software al momento de tu tratarlo con un usuario por lo que alcanza a cubrir mas necesidades que tenga el cliente.
Cons: Unas veces la interfaz de el software no es tan buena como podría serlo pero tampoco es muy grave.
Santiago S. · ingenieria sistemas · Computer Hardware · October 12, 2023
It helps me reach my clients easier, check their form, easily set them up with welcome package and automated emails, messages, texts, etc. I can do everything from right here.
Pros: The video submission feature for clients to check form.
Cons: Just a minor thing - when you start a workout and get the overview look, it is hard for clients to understand how to save a set, move to the next one etc. If the first view was the "one-exercise-at-a-time" view, it would be much easier to explain the app.
Viktoria H. · Personal Trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · September 12, 2023
Only have it for the ease of use for clients - would have switched back to Trainerize if Trainerize worked similar to PT Distinction in how they view their workouts.Probably should have switched back. Trainerize is much easier to use, setup programs, and change things on the fly with.
Pros: Ease of use for clients, newer updates on the mobile app are nicer.
Cons: Creating programs and any kind of scheduling on the calendar is not user friendly.They do not like feedback.Simple things that would make life easier on the coach like drag and drop to move workouts around a monthly calendar and add tracking items/ habits to a monthly calendar or atleast having the calendar in the same view as when you're adding workouts, habits, tracking etc to the clients calendar would make life oh so much easier.As it is you have to constantly check go back or refresh the calendar on a separate tab to double check and reference what you're doing.This has made me make many mistake in scheduling for clients.
Josh W. · Online Coach · Health, Wellness and Fitness · September 4, 2023
Great! I enjoy the app or I would've switched!
Pros: How many features it has for all different types of things for me to do in the industry so i can stay with this app. I love the branding feature!!!!!
Cons: It's kind of slow sometimes and it's really confusing on how to write progressions in for clients and update programs which is crucial for me.
Marielle V. · Fitness Trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · August 24, 2023
I was pleasantly surprised by the features and how simple and easy it was to set everything up. Unfortunately, it's only available in English.
Pros: PT Distinction has the potential to save me enormous amounts of time when it comes to programming workouts, its possibel to plan months in advance very quickly and all the scheduling can be automated. The workout editor is one of the best I used and it's very easy to create automated packages to suit different approaches to new clients. This is a huge benefit to scale in the future.
Cons: I really like PT Distinction , it has all te features I need except localization, its only available in English. And the app needs to be optimized.
Anonymous User · Founder · Health, Wellness and Fitness · August 9, 2023
Really good experience. After I’ve tried quite a few platforms, PT distinction was the best one , with a good price but even better when it comes to outlook , library of exercises and just easy to navigate.
Pros: I like that it’s really user friendly. Lots of good advice on how to conduct my business and really good library of exercises. I can easily swap from laptop to mobile use.
Cons: Some of the features are not 100% . I can’t seem to build a circuit on the laptop, but can do on a mobile format.
Flavia K. · Personal trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · July 31, 2023
Very happy with this platform!
Pros: Great customer service, easy to navigate
Cons: I would like to get clearer info on when client's programs are set to expire; not just a "soon" notice, but the date would be helpful.
Sarah S. · coach · Health, Wellness and Fitness · July 30, 2023
allows me to deliver my programs to people all over the country.
Pros: Easy to set up programs and scheudule workouts, also friend recommendation
Cons: Not sure if my updates to app settings (such as font colors) get pushed to clients timely.
David R. · Owner · Health, Wellness and Fitness · July 20, 2023
Overall it was a good experience but I changed apps due to some other options that became available.
Pros: This was a great platform for my first try using a fitness app. It was easy to use and upload videos. Their support team was very helpful. I loved having a new option for my clients to use and got good feedback.
Cons: My clients didnt like that they could not listen to their music while using the app. that may have changed now.
Lisa L. · Owner/Traianer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · June 28, 2023
It is helping me deliver online coaching
Pros: The workouts are easy to program and allow for quick administration
Cons: The diet section is limited, cant see meals
Samuel Z. · OWNER · Health, Wellness and Fitness · June 28, 2023
It’s been very easy to get my programs to clients
Pros: The most helpful thing about PT is the way I am able to store workouts, edit them and use for other times.
Cons: I wish categorizing the workouts were simpler. That way I don’t have to make a whole new workout each time.
Stephanie C. · Personal trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · May 6, 2023
Pros: The features are great and the app is so easy to utilize.
Cons: The workout videos need to be updated and slightly longer. But the fact that i am able to upload my own video removes that issue.
Lawrence M. · Personal Trainer · Health, Wellness and Fitness · April 18, 2023
It was good! I’m sure if you take the time to learn it all it would be a good platform
Pros: It was Very extensive and had a lot of features!
Cons: There was A Lot of upfront work to just learn the system. The back system was hard for me to full grasp
