Workout Titan Coaching vs Trainerize

The headline prices hide the shape of the two ladders. Trainerize prices by client count in steps, so a coach with 26 clients buys Pro 30, and most coaches add at least one add-on; Trainerize’s own pricing page lists payments, nutrition coaching and video as separate monthly charges. Workout Titan Coaching has four plans, everything is included in each, and the only decision is how many clients you need room for. A paid plan adds clients, check-in forms (Performance and above) and video uploads past the first five; the coaching tools themselves are the same on Foundation. Trainerize’s trial is more generous than the free plan for the first month, because it lifts every limit; after 30 days it becomes a one-client plan. Foundation is three clients for as long as you like.

This is a real difference in philosophy rather than a missing feature. Workout Titan Coaching assumes the coach writes the programme and films the demonstrations, and makes that quick: exercises are created once and copied between clients, and videos uploaded through Basecamp are captioned for you when you speak over them. Trainerize assumes a coach may want to start from someone else’s work, and supplies the library and the AI to do it. If you already have your own system and your own footage, the library matters less than the speed of the builder. If you are starting out, or coaching a lot of general-population clients, the library saves a great deal of time.

Basecamp is the same account and the same data as the phone app, in a browser, for coaches only. It is where the longer work happens: building a block, reading a month of check-ins, comparing clients. It shows things the phone does not, such as an estimated one-rep max from each client’s sets, caption status on every video and a filterable client grid. Trainerize’s web app covers the same coaching ground and adds the business tools, which is why this is a tie: Basecamp goes deeper on client data, Trainerize goes wider.

If you write meal plans, Trainerize does something Workout Titan does not: it will generate and deliver them. Workout Titan deliberately stops at targets and logging, on the view that most coaches set the numbers and most clients eat their own food. What it does with logging is more thorough: a client sees the source and confidence of every estimate, and can switch sharing off at any time, which is never retroactive. Clients who log every day will want unlimited scanning, which is £8.99 a month on their own or included through a coach on Performance or Infinity.

If you want one app to run the business as well as the coaching, this section decides it: Trainerize wins outright. Workout Titan’s position is that invoicing, booking and video calls are already handled well by tools coaches have, and that the coaching app should be free of them. The cost of that position is a second tool for payments. The benefit is that nothing in Workout Titan Coaching or Basecamp is behind an add-on.

Gyms have poor signal, and a client who cannot log a set is a client who does not log it. Workout Titan Coaching tells you when you are offline, keeps what you have opened, and queues what you log. Anything that changes a programme rather than logs against it still needs a connection. On languages, the point is the client’s app, not yours: a German-speaking client of an English-speaking coach gets Workout Titan Coaching in German. Trainerize’s advantage here is hardware: a watch app and direct Garmin, Fitbit and Withings connections.

Two small things Workout Titan Coaching does that are worth knowing. Sign-in is passwordless, by Apple, Google or an emailed link, and clients can delete their account from inside the app, with a 14-day cooling-off period. Neither is a coaching feature, but both are the kind of thing clients notice. Trainerize’s equivalents were not stated on the pages we checked.
