Looking for the best smartphone/ tablet app for trainers

Hey Tony,

The training notebook is pretty good for tracking and training all your clients.

If you want something for running training sessions, and group classes, try the '3 in 1 timer'. It has an interval timer, stopwatch and countdown timer. Its pretty easy to use and is for the iPad.

Hope this helps! :)

I've been using the The Training Notebook, like Chris mentioned.

Its sort of like a trainer's clipboard in that it can record individual training programs and you can set up new clients pretty quickly (Par-Q, Fitness Assessments etc...) without having to deal with the paper.

You can even take before and after photos. I found this very useful when showing my clients how much they've progressed! Also, reminds them how helpful I am. ha ha.

There's an online version that syncs with the app, it see me with an iPad and it shows even more that I take this all seriously, than fumbling around with papers.

I just found GymHero. It takes some time to set up, but it's great for your client to keep your workout on their phone.

I use the nike running app, and recommend it to my clients. I like how it logs your miles and gives you feedback.

The #1 training app for personal trainers, is Trainerize.com

You get a training app that is web friendly, and you also get your own iPhone/iPad app. You can either use the Trainer mode on the Smartphone app, to track stats for your clients as you train them in-person... Or you can have your clients login and access the workouts you setup for them.

WorkoutJournalPro by Haize is an app for iPad. It looks good to me. Has anyone tried it yet?

Have just downloaded AFT App for Personal Trainers, Paid $10, disappointed, CLUNKY and Full of BUGS..

Have just downloaded the AFT APP for Trainers, Disappointed paid $10 CLUNKY and FULL of BUGS... Dont botherQZ

There are loads of apps to choose from and a dozen new ones every day.

I use the buddylift app sometimes.

Id say the best way to get one is to download a few and see what agrees with you. They usually all cover the same things but have minor cosmetic changes.

I am looking at TrainingPeaks.com that has what I need including an option to sell your workouts online. You can monitor client meals by creating their account and they enter info from a smartphone or online. The problem is that it doesn't seem to have a way to add photos to help clients learn the moves.

Fitview.com is another I have been working with to build workouts. It has a current library of exercises with photos along with the option of me uploading my own. It seems more user friendly for workouts but lacks the nutritional planning and monitoring like TrainingPeaks.

I use ptonthenet.com. App is ptonthemove and ptonthenet lite. No nutrition. Quite happy with it as most of my clients will not/do not look at an app while training. They'd rather have a paper, skype or I-pad as prompt if one is necessary. I'm not sure about "selling" my workouts online. PLENTY of online workouts! If someone hires me...the workout design comes along.

I use Lumon Fit. It is incredible!

Hello Terrance,
Great question! I have yet to find a good one as well. If you find one, please let us know!

Sincerely,
Michael

These recommendations are not exactly what you are looking for but they are fitness apps that I have found to be helpful:

Wow, so many thumbs down. It makes me wonder if someone is pulling a fast one on having one with so many ups and everyone else getting downs. Be careful when checking out that high thumbs up post website.

Ok this is interesting. I have never seen so many thumbs down before on a comment. And this seems like such a neutral question.

Anyway, I have been giving an app to my students who are studying to become Fitness Instructors for years. It is called Muscle System Pro. It is a great way to work on muscle anatomy and movement. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty darn good.
