TrainedBy vs My PT Hub

My PT Hub helps manage coaching. TrainedBy is built to run the online coaching business.

This page is for coaches comparing classic client-management software with a newer operating-system model: coach page, payments, workouts, nutrition, check-ins, progress, lead capture, and retention control in one connected workflow.

Short answer

If you want the business layer and the coaching layer together, TrainedBy is the cleaner comparison.

The other option can fit when:

  • You mainly want a client-management tool for plans, tracking, and communication.
  • You already have a separate website, sales flow, payment system, and lead follow-up process.
  • You do not need growth assets, proof sharing, or coach attribution built into the system.

TrainedBy fits when:

  • You want one operating surface for the public coach page, payments, delivery, check-ins, and progress.
  • You want the client journey to move from lead to paid client to onboarding without manual chasing.
  • You want the weekly roster to show decisions, not just store data.

Comparison

Compare the operating work, not just the feature labels.

Main job
Client management and coaching delivery for personal trainers and coaches.
Online coaching operations from acquisition through delivery, payment, retention, and proof.
Public funnel
The coach may still need an external site, bio link, form, and payment path.
Coach Page handles proof, lead capture, pre-onboarding, payment handoff, and attribution.
Weekly work
The coach reviews client data across the tool and their own operating habits.
Weekly Cockpit turns adherence, workouts, progress, payments, and check-ins into coach priorities.
Scale point
Works best when the coach can still personally hold most operating context.
Designed for coaches moving beyond memory as the operating system.

Where the pain shows up

The client-management category can still leave the business stitched together.

The issue is rarely that a coach cannot send a plan. The issue is that lead capture, payment conversion, check-ins, proof, stalled clients, failed cards, and renewals keep living in separate places.

  • The coach has software, but still sells through DMs and manual follow-up.
  • Payments feel separate from onboarding and retention.
  • The roster grows, and the coach has more data without clearer priority.
  • Progress wins are not automatically turning into marketing assets or referral prompts.

FAQ

Questions coaches ask before switching.

Is TrainedBy a My PT Hub alternative?

Yes, for coaches who want more than client management and plan delivery. TrainedBy is built to connect acquisition, payments, delivery, progress signal, retention, and referrals.

Which coaches should compare these two products?

Independent fitness coaches, online coaches, physique coaches, and small coaching teams that want the operating layer of the business to feel cleaner and more premium.

Does TrainedBy include a public coach link?

Yes. The coach can publish a Coach Page that carries proof, lead capture, payment conversion, and onboarding handoff.

Does TrainedBy replace spreadsheets and WhatsApp too?

It is designed to replace the scattered stack for online coaching operations. Some coaches may still use WhatsApp socially, but the business workflow should not depend on it.

What should I compare first?

Compare the money path, weekly roster visibility, nutrition and workout signal, lead capture, and the way client progress becomes proof for the coach.
