Compare: ABC Trainerize

Trainerize alternative for selling online programs

A Trainerize alternative makes sense only once you know what ABC Trainerize does well: one to one coaching. Program builder, habits, wearable data and messaging serve a trainer who writes individual plans for every client.

The picture changes when a coach starts selling online programs to hundreds of people: per client pricing climbs with every seat, the branded app and Stripe payments are add-ons, and reported complaints since the ABC acquisition mention bugs, slowness and a confusing program builder. Below, ABC Trainerize compared with FitCoUp for online programs.

What your students get

Trainerize gives a client a coaching app with assigned workouts, habits, wearable sync and messaging. FitCoUp gives a student a branded PWA with the program as a day by day path:

  • Guided workout player with per exercise countdown, rest timer, next move preview and alternatives.
  • Circuits, intervals and rounds, follow along video mode, resume where you stopped.
  • Streaks with two freezes a month, milestones at 1, 7, 14, 21, 50 and 100 sessions.
  • Renewal price shown before a trial ends, cancellation in two taps, pause option.

Selling and retention

Trainerize is built around a coach selling coaching through messaging and the Stripe add-on.

FitCoUp is built around a program that sells itself: the quiz funnel lands each visitor on a plan reveal with the matching offer. One product carries monthly, 3 month, 6 month, annual, lifetime and one-time prices; Pro adds coupons, order bumps and upsells. The retention engine covers the trial with nudges on day 1, 3 and 5 and the monthly plan with streak alerts, inactivity flows, dunning and a win-back at day 30. The cancel flow offers a 30 day pause, 50% off the next month or a switch to annual.

Who should stay on ABC Trainerize

Keep Trainerize when coaching is the business:

  • You write individual programs and adjust them weekly for each client.
  • Wearable data and daily messaging are part of your service; FitCoUp does not sync wearables.
  • You have 1 to 5 clients, where $9 to $25 per month beats a 99 EUR plan.
  • You run a gym with hybrid memberships and need Studio Plus per location.

Moving from Trainerize to FitCoUp

Many coaches keep 1:1 clients on Trainerize and build the program business on FitCoUp. Import a CSV with email, name, program and end date. Rebuild programs in the builder or start from a template such as a 4 week mobility program with 12 sessions. Upload videos to private storage or link them from YouTube, Vimeo or Bunny. A school can be live the same day; a full catalog takes about a week. The 14 day trial needs no card.
