Software Recommendation - Personal Trainer Community - Forum

[ITSTrainer]

I am starting a personal training business. I have a contract to run all of the personal training for a facility that will be opening up. I am looking for a piece of software that will allow me to 1) schedule clients with trainers, 2) track client payments and have it count down as sessions are used, 3) create a payroll report (sessions complete, value of sessions, and amount to pay each trainer) 4) hopefully be compatible with Quickbooks, and 5) be able to schedule recurring transactions. All that I have found so far seem to be geared towards clubs with training as an add on. I don't need all of the member services and frankly don't want to pay for something I won't use.

Any suggestions?

Hi ITSTrainer,
I would refer you to my reply, in the following thread about setting up a PT Website.

As I explain there, theres a company called PocketPT have set up their online trainer as a system to work with, not against, PT's... it's a neat solution to organise all your sessions and stay in touch with clients etc. I won't repeat everything I've said about it in the other post, but I'm using it and I imagine it fits a lot of your requirements - with the exception of payroll.

Hope it helps, Steve

Hi,

I've used ezfacility.com, its very easy and PT friendly. You can acutally check out which other gyms are using their software.

There's a free trial and they do a phone run through with you.
