Still programming clients in a spreadsheet?

Plenty of good personal trainers still run their business on Excel, Google Sheets, a paper notebook, the Notes app and a long thread of text messages.

It works. Until you're scrolling for last Tuesday's numbers while your client stands there waiting.

Here's what changes when it all lives in one app.

What you use now, and what changes.

IF YOU USE

Excel or Google Sheets

A tab per client. Copy, paste, fix the formulas, repeat.

WITH TTN ONE

Build a 6-exercise workout in under 15 seconds, and give each client their own copy of a program. On the web you can also bring a client list in from a CSV file, or take yours out as one.

IF YOU USE

Google Docs or Keep

A doc per client, somewhere in your Drive.

WITH TTN ONE

Every client has a profile with three kinds of notes: ones they can see, ones only you can see, and ones they write to you.

IF YOU USE

A paper notebook

Great, until it's in the other bag.

WITH TTN ONE

Your notebook is on your phone, your iPad and your laptop. Last session's numbers show under the set boxes.

IF YOU USE

The Notes app

Quick to write. Hard to find anything a month later.

WITH TTN ONE

Exercise history with progress charts and personal records, for every client.

IF YOU SEND

Workouts by text message

Screenshots, typos, and "which one was today?"

WITH TTN ONE

Clients get their own login, free, and see their workouts in the app. Or send the workout to their email with a PDF attached. Chat lives right next to their workouts.

Switching over.

Add clients by hand, or email them an intake form they fill out online, no app needed.

Build programs ahead of time, or start from one of 20 ready made programs, and give each client their own copy.

Your clients get their own login, free, on their phone, on iPad or in their browser.

Every plan gets the full app. No feature gates. No add ons. The only difference is the number of active clients. From $19.99 a month for up to 10 clients.

Built by a trainer.

PERSONAL TRAINER SINCE 2006. THE TRAINING NOTEBOOK SINCE 2012.

I'm Hector. I've spent enough time on gym floors to know that the training is usually not the hard part. It's everything around it. So I built an app to handle that part.

Close the spreadsheet. Try it for a week.
