Spottr for Personal trainers
Programme your clients in the app they are already using.
Write the plan once, send it to their log, and see what they actually did, not what they said they did.
You wrote a good programme and you have no idea whether Tuesday happened, because the only record of it is in somebody else's head.
Here today
built and workingA roster, and the plan you sent each of them
Build a multi-week routine once, assign it to a client, and it appears in their app as their sessions. Change it and they have the change next time they open it.
What they actually lifted
Every set they log, with the weight, the reps and the date. Not a tick against a plan, the numbers. This is the difference between coaching and hoping.
The exercise library is yours to extend
Add the movements you actually use, with your own names and cues. Your clients see your version, not a stock list you have to work around.
Not yet
does not existNamed rather than hinted at. Four of the thirteen platforms in this market will not tell you what they cost at all; none of them will tell you what they cannot do.
Invoicing and packages
Spottr does not bill your clients or track a ten-session package. You invoice however you do now. This is on the roadmap and it is honest to say it is not close.
Form-check video and messaging
There is no video upload and no in-app messaging. Clients send you a video the way they do now.
Habit and nutrition tracking
Deliberately absent, and likely to stay absent. Nobody in this category does it well and the research says it is where roadmaps go to die.
And what they get
The half of this market nobody bothers with
Your clients do not have to download a coaching app they will resent. They get a training log good enough that people use it with no coach at all, offline in a basement gym, their last set already on screen, four kinds of personal best found for them. Your programme arrives inside something they already open.
What it costs
Your own training
Free
Logging, routines, the calendar, sharing, the directory and classes. Not a trial of these, and no card to start.
Depth, per person
$5.00/mo
Long-term progress charts and coaching a roster. No card to start, and everything else stays free. $50.00 a year if you prefer.
There is no venue plan yet, and no price for one
Everything above is per person. A plan for a business does not exist, because the things a business would be paying for, memberships, recurring billing, waitlists, check-in, are the things listed under “not yet”. When it exists, its price will be a number on the pricing page.
Coming from Trainerize or TrueCoach?
Your own training history imports, a delimited file, with you confirming which column is which before a row is written, free and with no subscription first. A list of other people does not yet, and pretending otherwise would be the first broken promise. What there is either way: nothing to unpick if you change your mind. Everything you put into Spottr comes back out as a spreadsheet, on any plan, including one that has lapsed, with one click and no support ticket.

Bringing a list of people across is the biggest single blocker in this market, and it is being built. In the meantime there is something more useful than a promise: exactly which fields survive an export from your current platform, including the ones that do not, which is the list nobody else publishes.
The fair objection
“My clients never open the app I ask them to install.”
That is the normal outcome, and it is why this one is not a coaching portal. The measured pattern across this category is stark: the member-facing app of the biggest platform in the market rates 4.90 while its own business app rates 4.57 and its check-in app rates 1.85, the apps built for professionals to hand out are the worst software these companies ship. Spottr's client app is the product that came first. It is worth opening on a day you did not send anything.
Start free, decide later.
No card, and a free tier that does not expire. Pay only if the paid part turns out to be worth it.
