PROFESSIONAL TRAINING DESERVES A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS. Pulse is the all-in-one coaching platform: clients, AI-generated workouts, automatic payments, and your own branded app. Stop juggling Excel, WhatsApp, Google Forms, Drive, and five different apps. Your entire business, in one focused workspace. — THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE — If you're a personal trainer managing 15 to 50 clients, you know what it's like to: - Lose 8 to 10 hours a week to admin work - Get buried under 150 to 300 mixed messages a day - Spend 2 hours per client building workouts in Excel - Chase payments manually with no automatic renewals - Have client info scattered across chats, old PDFs, and outdated spreadsheets - Look amateur next to coaches with their own branded apps Pulse replaces all of that with a single focused workspace. — WHAT YOU GET FROM DAY ONE — CLIENT MANAGEMENT Every client's full picture in one place: history, measurements, progress photos, active workouts, and payments. Nothing falls through the cracks. AI-POWERED WORKOUT GENERATION Generate a full month of training in 30 seconds, tailored to each client's goals and level. You review and adjust. Goodbye to 2 hours in Excel. NATIVE INTAKE FORMS Build custom questionnaires for new clients directly in Pulse. Get structured responses, no Google Forms or copy-paste needed. RECURRING PAYMENTS, AUTOMATED Card payments, automatic renewals, and clean reports. Set your plans, connect your clients, and let it bill on autopilot. No more chasing. PROGRESS TRACKING Measurements, photos, weights per exercise. Full history, fully accessible, all on one timeline per client. YOUR OWN BRANDED APP Your clients access their workouts through an app that looks like yours. Brand-level professionalism without paying a developer thousands. — WHY PULSE IS DIFFERENT — - All-in-one. No add-ons that double your bill. - Built by working personal trainers - AI that actually saves you hours, not a gimmick - Modern, mobile-first design - Human support, not bots - Branded app included at no extra cost — WHO PULSE IS FOR — Pulse is for the personal trainer who's already billing, already has clients, and is at the breaking point: wants to raise their rates, look more professional, and stop losing hours on admin. If you have 15 to 50 active clients, work a hybrid model (in-person and online), and feel your operation is too small for your professional level, Pulse was built for you. — GET STARTED TODAY — Download Pulse, import your clients in minutes, and start operating like the business your training deserves. ——————————————————————————— SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Pulse Trainer offers the following auto-renewable subscriptions: - Professional Monthly — $19.99 USD / month - Professional Annual — $199.99 USD / year - Premium Monthly — $49.99 USD / month - Premium Annual — $499.99 USD / year Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase.
