Just when you are getting the hang of how easy it is to use the Trainerize app to train clients online, they went ahead and stepped their game up! The guys in charge of Trainerize wanted to give us an early Christmas gift – the gift of ease!

The Reason I am Excited About These Updates?

The easier it is for your clients to go through the workouts you prescribe to them, the more likely the (aka more $$$$). Not only, will these new features make it easier for your clients, but they have made it much easier for you to contact clients, schedule workouts, recall past communication with clients, and so much more.

As a trainer myself who trains many clients from all over the world, I got the inside scoop and wanted to share with you a few of the updates I am excited most about:

Timer built into the app for clients who are doing Hiit interval training in your workouts. This will save clients a lot of time from either having to go into another interval timing app on their phone, or using a different interval timer.
We will now be able to add the same exercise into the same workout! Sometimes I found it difficult when prescribing some treadmill sprints between circuits or doing pyramid type workouts to failure in strength sets, because once you have added the exercise once you couldn’t add it again. NOT ANYMORE 🙂

Speaking of cardio, we will now be able to prescribe our clients cardio targets (distance, time, heart rate zone etc.) and this will work right alongside the new built in timer. Now clients will just be able to hit “start timer now” within their workout and the app will automatically track the time. This is a great idea, well done Trainerize!
When it comes to client/trainer communication, now our clients will have the joy of seeing our “floating head” in the corner of their workout screen. This is great for two reasons: 1. they will have to see your face through their entire workout, so when they want to skip that last rep or quit early they will feel extra guilty and probably wont do it. 2. they can just click on that “floating head” to shoot you a quick message while within their workout screen.

New calendar view that makes it easier to schedule, move, and delete workouts. This going to save me lot’s of time personally, as now we will be able to quickly switch up a clients workouts in their calendar without changing all their other workouts.

Now remember, this is just a few of the features Trainerize is going to introduce to us trainers, but you should be just as excited as I am because if you are a busy trainer like me, anything that makes my life easier is welcomed with open arms! Tracking clients and making them all feel individually loved and taken care of is a huge part of a successful trainer-client relationship, so have fun with these new features and let’s expand our businesses in 2016!
