Sometimes, a client’s relationship with their trainer can be a love-hate one. They love how they look and feel, but they might slightly hate the early morning wakeup calls you’ve mandated. While these emotions are natural when it comes to working out, at Trainerize, we’re looking for that can’t-eat, can’t-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over- the-fence, World Series kind of love.

That’s right, we want our clients to be crazy about us! And not to toot our own horn, but why wouldn’t you be? We’re constantly improving ourselves, we’re open to trying new things, and like you, we’re committed to fitness. If you’ve swiped right on us by signing up for a free 30-day trial of Trainerize, we want to make sure we’re putting our best foot forward.

Like any great relationship, you get out what you put in. Here’s how you can maximize your time with your free trial, and use Trainerize to best suit your needs.

Take advantage of Trainerize’s onboarding and education materials

Think of this as a first date. We want you to get to know us, and to be honest, we’re a completely open book. Throughout your free trial, we’ll be sending you helpful emails linking to tutorial videos, articles, guides, and more.

In the first days of your trial, be sure to run through our getting started guide, subscribe to our blog, and sign up for a webinar (or two!). Testing out a new software can be overwhelming, but it’s important to make sure you understand the numerous features and integrations that Trainerize offers, and how they can help you achieve your business goals, whether that be tapping into new revenue streams, increasing client engagement, or finding better work-life balance.

Add clients to the app

Consider this a group date—we want to get to know your clients too! Plus, if you train clients with the app while it’s still free for you…that’s pure profit.

Adding clients to the app also provides a clear picture of how Trainerize works; what the client experience is like; and lets you test a whole bunch of features to their fullest. If your friends are as honest as ours are, they can also provide valuable feedback that can help you learn how to optimize training them through the app, and you can use their experience for future testimonials to attract new clients.

We get that this relationship is still new, so If you’re hesitant about adding lots of clients to the app right away, start with a handful of your most loyal clients, and ask them to be part of your trial group. Most people are happy to share their opinions, and your clients will love the opportunity to provide feedback on your form (for a change).

Import a program from the Trainerize Master Programs Library

As a fitness professional, you understand the importance of getting moving. To get up and running as quickly as possible, and make your 30-day trial COUNT, you should take advantage of the Trainerize Master Programs Library. There, you’ll find program templates that can be used as they are or easily updated and customized.

This approach is way faster than building from scratch, and will help you get the hang of how to create digital programs in Trainerize. Online programming is also a great way to increase revenue and provide flexible options for clients.

Set up your Trainerize.me profile

Finding new clients can be even trickier than online dating. It’s time-consuming, and when it doesn’t pan out, you may feel like giving up entirely. We’re here to help!

Your Trainerize.me profile is a free online listing that can help you bring in new business. Let the world know you’ve gone digital, and help potential clients find you by sharing your training experience, certifications, services offered and more.

Connect add-ons

Improving the customer experience is one of the primary reasons many trainers turn to us. With Trainerize, add-ons are used to complement, enhance, or combine with your other services, and might include nutrition coaching or meal plans, online or at-the-gym challenges, video calls or coaching sessions and more.

Make sure to get all your ducks in a row by ensuring that your systems are synced together from day one. This will make everything run smoothly as you add more and more clients to the app and help streamline your business operations. With add-ons, you can enhance clients’ basic memberships, and create custom-tailored experiences, all while increasing your income—it’s a win-win!

Customize your app

Just because we’re not official, doesn’t mean you can’t get a feel for the app! 😉
We want you to be able to visualize our future together, so check out what your app could look like with your custom branding applied. You’ll be able to add your logo, choose between a light and dark color theme, shoot a welcome video with your gorgeous mug—whatever your heart desires.

Make it your own, so that your business looks as professional as possible, and you get a true sense of what your clients would be experiencing with the app. Our custom-branded apps are designed to drive client engagement, and are a great way to set yourself apart in a crowded marketplace.
