The real difference
Both platforms do the core job. They build programs, log workouts, message clients, track nutrition and progress, schedule sessions, and take payments. The feature list is not where the real decision lives. The real decision is who the company is built to serve, and how it treats you after you have handed over your client roster.
Trainerize is built to serve everybody, from a brand-new coach all the way up to gym chains and enterprise accounts. That is useful if you run a studio, and it is also why a lot of independent coaches feel like an afterthought there. FitCentral is built for the smaller side on purpose: independent trainers, online coaches, and small teams who run their own rosters and just want the software to work and the company to listen.
Where FitCentral wins for independent coaches and small teams
One honest price, with everything in it.
FitCentral is $29/month plus $1 per active client, and that includes programming, scheduling, messaging, nutrition, habits, progress tracking, payments, groups, and the client app. On Trainerize, nutrition, payments, and a branded app are separate paid add-ons, so the price on the pricing page is almost never the price you actually pay.
Pricing that does not creep up on you.
Our pricing is flat and public, and we do not raise it without telling you. We are independent and founder-led, so the incentive is to keep you happy, not to hit a parent company’s revenue target.
A team that answers, and one of us is a coach.
Your feedback lands with the people building the product, and one of them is a trainer who uses this with real clients. We are small, and that is the point. Small enough to actually hear you.
Room to grow without becoming a number.
FitCentral supports assistant coaches you can assign to specific clients, so you can grow into a small team and still run a tight, personal operation.
Reliability we treat as the floor, not a feature.
FitCentral is built on modern infrastructure, not a decade-old codebase that keeps getting patched. Your clients should never know your software had a bad day.
Your client app is included and it makes you look good.
Your clients get a clean, native iOS and Android app in the base price. On Trainerize, a branded client app is a paid add-on with a setup fee.
