TrainerSuite is business management software built by an independent personal trainer, for independent personal trainers. The goal is simple: make the business side of personal training easier while giving clients more clarity, confidence, and value throughout the trainer-client relationship. Personal training is a business. Run it like one, and keep clients connected along the way. FOR TRAINERS Bring clients, sessions, calendars, packages, payment requests, and business reporting into one trusted workspace. Know what is booked, paid, delivered, and still needs attention without piecing the business together across spreadsheets, notes, texts, calendars, and payment apps. ORGANIZE YOUR TRAINING CALENDAR • Connect your Google or Apple calendar and see your training sessions alongside your other events. • Put a client's full name in a calendar event and TrainerSuite adds the session for you. • Confirm each session with one tap and it comes off the client's sessions left. • Keep upcoming sessions, client history, and schedule status organized. GET PAID WITH LESS CHASING • Create and send payment requests from the client workspace. • Send payment requests automatically when a client's sessions run low, with reminders you control. • Offer the payment options configured for your business. • Keep requests, payments, packages, and client records connected. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS • See your week at a glance on Home: sessions done, money earned, and money collected. • Use Money and Reports to review payments, clients, and business activity. • Understand what was booked, paid, delivered, and still needs attention. FOR CLIENTS If your trainer sent you an invite code, you can join TrainerSuite to see your next session and recent history, track the sessions you have left, review and pay payment requests using your trainer's payment options, sync your sessions to your own calendar, and follow your progress and goals. TrainerSuite gives you clearer visibility while your trainer remains in control of the training relationship. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Trainers' private notes and client health details are encrypted before they're stored. Clients only ever see their own sessions and payments, never other clients or their trainer's notes. Card payments run through Stripe; TrainerSuite never sees card numbers.
