Striive

Next Level Fitness (UK)

Comments: Great decision to move from PT minder and great to be working with a company that is local that will take Striive places. Exited to be a part of the journey. If you're not on striive and reading this, make the change. Transition wasnt hard i moved over 100 members across its easily do able.

Pros:

The Software is simple to use, its simply presented and very user friendly. I have many clients who are not tech specialist and can easily book classes and set up there striive portals. It allows me to run my business without stress as its all just done through the software automated. Love that you can brand everything your colours, so it almost feels and looks like yours. Easy sign up and sign in links that can easily be added to websites. Great Software.

Cons:

Would be great if striive can offer an app for users as the number one question i get is what app do i download? Its currently a portal which once explained people do understand but having everything run through an app is just what people expect these days. The app is coming though. Be great to have a shop implemented too so you can sell merchandise etc.

Fantastic software couldn’t be without it now.

Comments: Strive has made my admin work so much easier saving me a lot of time from day to day scheduling to completing self employment work expenses.
It’s easy to use and does everything i need it to.
Couldn’t be without this software now. Thank you strive for making my work life easier!

Pros:

I am a free lance personal trainer and fitness instructor so I work at different venues for numerous clients and classes. Strive makes it easier to keep track of where I need to be and who owes me money! I like that it’s easy to use. It does pretty much everything I need it to!

Cons:

Not able to remove classes once they have been added. When I add classes to my schedule it can be quite hard to find the correct class quickly as I have so many classes which no longer exist so it would be good to delete them To ‘clean’ the schedule up a bit!

Striive is pretty awesome

Comments: Convenient as hell. Amazing customer support.

Pros:

The easy set up and idiot proof administrator side of things. It’s not intimidating to set up or alter. The support service is literally the best I have every had off any company.

Cons:

You can’t have 1 email to purchase multiple packages that are the same. For example: if 2 siblings want to join the club they both need a different email from each other. If someone could purchase multiple packages that are the same for this situation it would be perfect.

A fully rounded booking system

Comments: Great, it has made client sign ups a lot easier, as well as scheduling. Would definitely recommend.

Pros:

The calendar is such a great feature, it is clear to see which client is booked in when, how many sessions they have used up in the session packs and if you need to rearrange their session this can easily be done.

Cons:

Sometimes it feels as there needs to be a lot of clicks to get to where you want to be. Or sometimes it doesn't always take you back to where you just were.

Fantastic software for you admin.

Comments: Fantastic piece of software all round and very easy to use. Has made me much more efficient and much less forgetful.

Pros:

Striive gives you the chance to allocate packages with schedulable hours. This way you always know how many sessions a client has left without have to look through previous bookings. Allows you to send reminders through test and email without the need to physically send a reminder. Clients always know when their next session is. Calendar function is very versatile and allows you to book different types of appointments. Takes the effort out of admin.

Cons:

There is currently no program feature to deliver client programs but it's on their radar.

InGym replaced all my paper!

Comments: On the whole a good experience. Support responded to a couple of early questions I had when setting up my account. It was also great that I could use it free while I built up my client base. I tried a couple of other systems before InGym and my trial always ended before I felt comfortable paying. I didn't have that pressure with InGym.

Pros:

I originally gave InGym a try for the on-screen PAR-Qs and agreements as I wanted to find a way of avoiding carrying my folder around. It worked really well for that, and now I put all my client notes into it too. Prob the best thing about InGym is how simple it is to use.

Cons:

Couldn't use it on my phone at first, but recently they've been updating the system to add mobile support.

Ideal if you are looking for a business system

Comments: Simple to use and takes away a lot of monotonous jobs (paperwork, reminders, etc.). It doesn't do training programs or nutrition, just business/bookings/paperwork/money. The support is great!

Pros:

I've tried a lot of the PT software on the market and InGym is probably the nicest one from a visual/design standpoint. It's nice to use and makes daily jobs easy to complete. The schedule is very good, prob the best I've seen and managing bookings is simple and it can handle all the different training packages I do. The PAR-Q and training agreements features are also the best I've used.

Cons:

It does the things it does well, but I do think it's missing a couple of features. Some improved reporting on client progress would be nice, and taking payments online via dd. Having spoken with support a couple of times, I know these are coming at some point.

Easy to use and yet powerful

Comments: I was looking for a tool which is easy to use, looks great, is responsive and has a fair price model. With InGym I found the solution that matched all my needs.

Pros:

The system is easy to use and the GUI very intuitive. The feature set is rich and the design modern and responsive. The support is excellent and fast. It is a pleasure to work with InGym as you don't lose time searching for settings or fields. Everything is streamlined and optimized to keep the focus on the essential things, the clients.

Cons:

There is nothing I don't like. Some features were missing in the past but as InGym was and still is a new player on the field they are extremely fast in adding new features and fixing issues.

Surprisingly easy to use

Comments: Striiive has streamlined all my business admin. It means I now have everything in one place that is easy to use, follow and keep updated. I have so much more time now. Striive have always been quick to support me with any technical questions or issues I experience whilst implementing or using.

Pros:

The software from striive was surprisingly easy to implement. I was able to customise all the functions making it simple for my clients to follow and use. I can access it from any device which is really important for me as I am often outside and away from the gym.

Cons:

It would be really great to have extra features such as ability to store recordings or workout programmes.

Bar none

Pros:

InGym is the single best piece of software that exists for Personal Trainers... and being a bit of a geek - I've tried them all. InGym takes care of my business, so that I can take care of my clients.

Cons:

What did I least like about InGym? That it didn't exist sooner!

Changed my life!!!

Comments: Striive is so easy to use for both myself and my clients. It has saved so much time in terms of admin e.g. with my daily scheduling and keeping on top of finances. I couldn't function without it now and would recommend it to any self employed fitness professional.

Pros:

It's simplicity. It now runs my business, which means I can spend more time doing what I am best at which is training my clients!

Cons:

I can't think of any cons and Striive are continually adding new functionality. They also have a dedicated support chat function.

Used regularly to book in clients

Comments: When up and running, very easy to use. Has had its occasional bugs, but very quick to be fixed once notified.

Fast, effective, just genius! A must for any personal trainer

Comments: I have been using this web-based software for over a year now during its development stages and now as a finished product. It's fast and effective, it takes moments to use and saves me hours of administration. More time
More clients
More money. I love it!

Easy communication with my PT

Pros:

The ability to log in and see my transaction history and request new sessions with a couple of clicks.

Cons:

I’ve not come across anything I don’t like at present.
