### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-31, version 7.0*

I downloaded the app, entered one client profile, but the main Menu button isn’t registering so I’m stuck unable to use the app. While entering a client profile, there were several other buttons that didn’t work too.

### 2/5 — Painful

*2026-02-02, version 7.0*

This app is very unreliable. I’ve used it for a few years now, but it goes down so often and when you try to log onto the website when the app goes down, it says too many requests because everybody’s business relies on being able to pull their clients workouts up. And when you send a msg, they say it’s maintenance but they 
never tell you that it’s going to be down for maintenance

### 5/5 — Easy to use, good value

*2026-01-24, version 7.0*

The app is easy to use, I can design and run training sessions, track my clients progress and mange session packages. Everything I need. 💪💪💪

### 1/5 — Deleting clients

*2025-11-10, version 7.0*

The app deleted all my clients, and didn’t load them back up. I logged out, logged back in and started creating new profiles but now the app is asking me to upgrade to paid subscription which I’m already paying for at $16 monthly. I’m upset at the lack of response, the issues and setback it has caused me. I have emailed a few times with zero response from your team.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-08-18, version 7.0*

Just got it and tried using it: loading a booking for a client.  I couldn’t input workout name and program goal which is ok as I don’t care about these but it is compulsory to load it otherwise it won’t save the booking. So I tried, however the app was not responding in these fields so I can’t even do this basic thing! I’m way to busy to waste time like this

### 5/5 — Best Personal Training app

*2025-05-16, version 7.0*

I’ve been using this app for over 10 years, and it has been absolutely amazing. I honestly don’t know how I’d run my business without it. It’s an essential part of my daily workflow. The ability to calculate assessments, track health evaluations, and manage client workouts—all in one place—makes it incredibly valuable. It’s 100% worth the investment.

### 5/5 — The app is clean, straightforward, and actually designed for how I as a trainers work day-to-day.

*2025-04-04, version 7.0*

I’ve been using The Training Notebook for a while now, and it’s become a key part of how I manage my clients. 

I like that I can quickly copy past workouts into new programs—it saves me a ton of time. I also really appreciate the built-in calendar view. 

It helps me keep track of who’s training when, and makes it easier to stay ahead with programming. 

The app is clean, straightforward, and actually designed for how I as a trainers work day-to-day.

### 5/5 — Less busywork, more time on growing my business

*2025-03-27*

I’ve been a trainer for over a decade, mostly working with busy professionals here in Chicago. I’ve been using The Training Notebook for the last three years, and honestly, it’s the only system I’ve stuck with. It just works. I train most of my clients in person at a private gym, but I also coach a few online across the countryand this app keeps everything organized on both ends. 

Programming is fast, tracking is simple, and I don’t waste time digging through spreadsheets or clunky software. I really like the workout templates too it makes it easy to save my go to programs and copy them into a new client’s plan in seconds. 

It helps me stay focused on my clients instead of getting lost in admin work.

### 5/5 — Excellent app+ time saver!

*2025-03-27, version 7.0*

I’ve been a personal trainer for five years, and I work mostly online with clients around the country. I usually do my programming from a local coffee shop here in Texas, so having something that’s easy to use on my laptop and phone is key. I’ve tried other apps, but they were either way too complicated or just overpriced. I’ve been using The Training Notebook for six months now, and it’s honestly been a game changer. The calendar helps me stay on top of everyone’s workouts and check-ins, and the in-app messaging makes it easy to keep in touch with clients without jumping between platforms. It’s affordable, clean, and actually built for how real trainers work.

### 5/5 — Been using it for years

*2025-03-23, version 7.0*

I’ve been using The Training Notebook for a few years now, and it’s been super helpful. 

I can build full workouts in under a minute, duplicate them for other clients, and track everything without digging through old notes. 

My favorite part? I can send workouts straight to the client app, and all the progress pics, notes, and assessments are right there in the app. 

It’s clean, simple, and saves me time. If you’re a trainer working with a solid roster, this app’s for you.
