Doesn’t work

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.

Painful

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

Easy to use, good value

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

Deleting clients

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.

Not working

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

Best Personal Training app

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.

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

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.

Less busywork, more time on growing my business

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.

Excellent app+ time saver!

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.

Been using it for years

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.

A Must-Have App for Personal Trainers: Simplify Client Management and Boost Productivity!

The Training Notebook app has been a fantastic asset for managing my personal training business. It's specifically built for trainers, simplifying the often tedious administrative tasks so I can focus more on my clients and less on paperwork.

I appreciate how intuitive the interface is, making it effortless to customize training plans, conduct unlimited body assessments, and track detailed client progress all in one centralized place. The app also provides Physical Readiness Questionnaires (PAR-Q), ensuring I keep my clients safe and ready for their workouts.

One standout feature is the companion "Client Notebook" app that my clients can access for free, allowing them to monitor their own progress, stay motivated, and maintain open communication through built-in messaging. The built-in interval timer is another thoughtful feature, further streamlining training sessions.

Overall, The Training Notebook is ideal for trainers looking to enhance client experience, organize their workload effectively, and grow their business efficiently. I highly recommend this app for fitness professionals aiming for top-notch organization and productivity.

Great for customizing details of the program

I chose The Training Notebook because I love that in the workout program when I write the description of the program there is enough space for me to leave notes on things I want the client to remember like TRX row, keep wrists straight, and get steeper if you want to make it harder. I love that my clients have their own app to see all the programs they have ever done! I like that I can also email the program to the client. I also like how I can have all the clients info in one place like their body composition, etc. I wish they didn't add the link for attaching videos. Since they don't provide the videos yet my new clients will ask where the videos are.

Paid for this app but doesn’t work

Says my trial is over but I paid for this app. It’s ok I just share how to track clients a better way and give out for free to lessen the amount of people getting this app. You pay for an app but then it says you have to subscribe or subscription trial is over.

Quick and easy  ‌ ​   

As a gym owner, I needed a simple, easy-to-use app that works well with all my clients. The training notebook has all the features we need in an App for Gym owners. I recommend it to everyone.      ‌

Great app for those trainers who want to be creative in n programming

I have been using this app for over 9 years now! The best feature for me is the ability to write down exercises vs pull down from selected exercises. I like being able to write detailed names and create exercises that might not show in pre selected choices. I also love the simplicity of the app. I don’t need nutrition software or scheduling software, etc. This app does exactly what I am looking for. It does sometimes malfunction but a simple delete and reload usually does the trick. Also, whenever C I have any problems the customer service gets right back to me.

Overall, I highly recommend The Training Notebook app to any personal trainer looking for an all-in-one solution for managing their clients' fitness goals.

Experience

What a great app, felt this helped me look professional when it came to doing consultations with prospective clients. Didn't use all the functions in the app so can't comment about all but think it would have helped a lot more if I had the the to learn it.

Thanks for building this app

The app makes it simple to track progress, set goals, and communicate with clients.

programing has been so much easier with the training notebook… I program while I’m commuting to the city or while I’m on break and drinking a cup of coffee.

It's been game-changer for my business, and my clients are seeing incredible results too
