Trainerize is the default choice for a lot of PTs — it's been around the longest, has the most integrations, and comes up first on most "personal trainer software" searches. But Australian trainers increasingly hit three problems: it prices in USD, has no card-on-file no-show charging, and it's built around online coaching delivery rather than the in-person gym-floor workflow.

If you're looking for a Trainerize alternative, here's an honest breakdown of the five main options. We're PT Pro — which makes us an interested party on our own entry — so read all five and decide for yourself.

1. TrueCoach

TrueCoach From ~$19 USD/mo

Clean, simple interface. Built around workout delivery and coach-client messaging. Popular with online coaches who want something less complex than Trainerize.

Pros

  • Genuinely simple to use
  • Clean client experience
  • Good program templating
  • Straightforward pricing tiers

Cons

  • No card-on-file no-show fees
  • No built-in online booking
  • USD pricing, no AUD-native support
  • Online-coaching-first — in-person workflow is secondary

Best for: Online-only coaches who want a cleaner, simpler alternative to Trainerize and don't need in-person booking or no-show protection. See the full PT Pro vs TrueCoach comparison for the detail.

2. Hevy Coach

Hevy Coach Free–$15 USD/mo per trainer

Hevy started as a free personal workout tracker with a large user base. Hevy Coach is the paid coaching layer built on top. Strong on strength training tracking and exercise logging.

Pros

  • Excellent exercise and strength tracking
  • Large existing user base (network effect)
  • Low entry price
  • Personal bests and progress charts

Cons

  • No booking or scheduling
  • No payment or no-show protection
  • USD pricing, no AUD support
  • Coaching layer is newer and less mature

Best for: PTs whose clients are already Hevy users, or strength-focused coaches who want best-in-class exercise tracking and handle booking and payments separately.

3. My PT Hub

My PT Hub ~$20–30 USD/mo

UK-origin all-in-one PT platform. Programs, nutrition, goal tracking, and an app for clients. Long-running product with broad feature set.

Pros

  • Broad feature set including nutrition tracking
  • Native app (iOS and Android)
  • Reasonable pricing for solo PTs
  • Goal and body measurement tracking

Cons

  • No card-on-file no-show auto-charging
  • USD/GBP pricing — not AUD-native
  • Booking is limited vs a dedicated booking tool
  • UI reported as dated by recent reviewers

Best for: PTs who want nutrition tracking built in and are comfortable with USD/GBP billing. See the full PT Pro vs My PT Hub comparison.

4. Everfit

Everfit ~$19–35 USD/mo

Newer entrant with a modern interface and growing feature set. Strong on program creation and client-facing app experience. Growing following among online coaches.

Pros

  • Modern, clean interface
  • Good program and template builder
  • Client-facing app is polished
  • Improving payment features

Cons

  • No card-on-file no-show protection
  • USD pricing, no AUD-native support
  • In-person booking workflow is limited
  • Smaller ecosystem and fewer integrations than Trainerize

Best for: Online coaches who want a more modern alternative to Trainerize and prioritise the program delivery and client app experience over AU-native billing or no-show protection.

5. PT Pro

PT Pro $29 AUD/mo — AU-native

Built for in-person and hybrid AU trainers. Booking, card-on-file no-show fees, programs, and progress tracking. AUD pricing, GST-ready, flat rate unlimited clients.

Pros

  • Card-on-file no-show auto-charging built in
  • AUD-native — no currency conversion
  • Flat $29/mo for unlimited clients
  • Booking + programs + progress in one tool
  • Free client portal (installable PWA)
  • GST invoices and Xero export shipping next

Cons

  • Newer product — smaller feature set than Trainerize
  • No nutrition tracking (intentional — not a feature we build)
  • Native iOS/Android app is coming soon (PWA today)
  • No 3,000-video exercise library

Best for: In-person and hybrid Australian PTs who want AUD pricing, card-on-file no-show protection, and a flat rate that doesn't scale with client count. More on what PT Pro does for AU trainers.

Which One Is Right for You?

Decision tree — pick based on your situation

  • You're in Australia and losing money to no-shows → PT Pro. It's the only tool with card-on-file auto-charge built in.
  • You train clients mostly in person and hate USD billing → PT Pro. Every other option on this list bills in USD or GBP.
  • You're primarily an online coach with clients on Hevy → Hevy Coach. The network effect is real.
  • You want nutrition tracking built in → My PT Hub or Trainerize (with the nutrition add-on). PT Pro doesn't do nutrition coaching and isn't trying to.
  • You want the simplest possible program delivery with no-frills → TrueCoach.
  • You want a polished modern app and don't mind USD pricing → Everfit.
  • You have 50+ clients and need a large exercise library → Trainerize. It wins on scale and ecosystem, but at ~$175 USD/mo for 50 clients vs PT Pro's $29 AUD/mo flat.

The Bottom Line

No single tool is best for every PT. But if you're an Australian trainer seeing clients in person, the shortlist is shorter than most comparison articles suggest: card-on-file no-shows, AUD pricing, and flat pricing regardless of client count are hard requirements that eliminate most options immediately.

If nutrition coaching and a video library are non-negotiable, Trainerize or My PT Hub are the realistic choices. If you're AU-based, in-person, and losing revenue to no-shows — PT Pro is the only tool currently built around that problem.
