Personal Trainer CRM
Read full descriptionHide full description
The app built only for personal trainers. Your clients, your schedule, and the money you're owed in one place, instead of four apps. WHO IT'S FOR Independent personal trainers, online coaches, and small studio owners running 15 to 80 clients from a phone. If your business lives in Notes, WhatsApp, a calendar, and Venmo, RosterOS pulls it into one place. Something always falls through those cracks. Usually it's revenue. SEE WHO OWES YOU Every session is a paid or unpaid line. Outstanding balances sit on your home screen, so you stop guessing who's behind. Collect in one tap, and watch a 12-month revenue trend build for your business and for each client. Most coaching apps bury payments or take a cut. Here, the money is the first thing you see, and we never touch it. ONE SCREEN PER CLIENT Goals, injuries, intake (PAR-Q and waiver), measurements, and payment history on a single screen. See 30-day consistency, total sessions, and lifetime revenue at a glance, plus a fitness level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Athlete, or your own tag). Import your whole roster from Contacts. BOOK YOUR WEEK Book training, assessment, consultation, or online sessions. Today, Upcoming, and Past tabs keep the week straight. Set recurring blocks (weekly, x4 through x26) and mirror sessions one way into your iOS Calendar. Reschedule or cancel in seconds. LOG A SESSION IN UNDER 10 SECONDS The moment a session ends, Quick Log opens: a quick note, the client's energy level, a pain flag, then the payment. Done before they reach the door, so nothing gets rebuilt from memory later. NEVER DROP A FOLLOW-UP The people you owe a message show up as due today on your dashboard. Every text and email is timestamped per client, and anyone who goes quiet for 7 or more days gets flagged, so you can pull them back before they cancel. SAVE AND ASSIGN PROGRAMS Save program shapes like Full Body Circuit or Lower Body Power, filter by Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance, or Mobility, and assign them to a client with per-client edits. It's your programming tool, not a workout app your clients log into. GROW WITH PRO Pro unlocks unlimited clients, the Workout Builder, Revenue Insights, measurement charts over time, before-and-after progress photo timelines, and a clean, branded PDF progress report your client keeps. NO CLIENT APP. EVER. RosterOS is built for you, not your clients. They never download anything, never get a login, never get a notification from it. It works offline between sessions, on the gym floor, and syncs across your iPhone and iPad. Your client data stays in your account. We never sell it, and never share it with advertisers. Sign in with Apple, and delete your account from inside the app whenever you want. FREE, THEN PRO WHEN YOU GROW Start free with up to 15 active clients and the full workflow, no card required. RosterOS Pro is $19.99 per month or $149.99 per year (about $12 a month). The annual plan includes a 14-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Prices may vary by region. Terms: https://rosteros.app/terms Privacy: https://rosteros.app/privacy Stop running your book out of a spreadsheet. Put your clients, your schedule, and your money in one app built for the way you actually work.

EXERCISE TEMPLATES Build a workout once, reuse it across every client who needs it. Stop retyping the same sets and reps for every session. DASHBOARD Open the app and know exactly what your day looks like: today's sessions, which clients are overdue for a check-in, and how the month's shaping up. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Your next appointment and check-ins due, right on your home screen: no need to open the app to know what's next. PRIVATE BY DESIGN PlankNote runs entirely on your device, synced securely through your own iCloud account. No accounts, no company servers holding your clients' data, no ads.
