If you are considering Trainerize (now ABC Trainerize, after the acquisition by ABC Fitness) for your coaching business, the headline pricing on the official site does not tell the whole story. The platform has a tiered structure that scales with client count, plus a stack of add-ons that drive the real monthly cost up significantly. Understanding what you actually pay at each tier is essential before committing.

This article breaks down Trainerize pricing for 2026 in detail. Every plan, every tier, every add-on, with real numbers. We also walk through what coaches at different roster sizes actually end up paying once they have stacked the features most working coaches need.

Pricing reflects publicly listed rates on the Trainerize pricing page as of May 2026 and is subject to change. Annual billing typically saves 10%. All prices are USD.

Trainerize Plans at a Glance

  • Basic (Free): up to 1 coaching client
  • Grow: $9/month for up to 2 clients
  • Pro 5: $23/month for up to 5 clients, scaling through Pro 15, 30, 50, 75, 100, and 200 client tiers
  • Studio Plus: $248/month per location, for up to 1,000 clients per location
  • Enterprise: custom pricing for larger businesses

Each plan supports a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.

The Basic (Free) Plan

Trainerize's free plan is positioned as a starting point but functions more as a trial than a working free tier.

  • Cost: $0/month, free forever
  • Client capacity: 1 coaching client
  • Includes: mobile app for iOS and Android, workout programs and tracking, basic in-app nutrition tracking, PDF meal plans, in-app messaging and groups, digital member profiles with progress tools

Best for: testing the platform with a single client before committing to a paid plan. Not viable for running an actual coaching practice because of the 1-client limit.

The Grow Plan

Grow is the entry-level paid plan and the cheapest way to access Trainerize's key features.

  • Cost: $9/month
  • Client capacity: up to 2 clients
  • Includes everything in Free plus: AI Workout Builder, Trainerize.me profile and product storefront, wearable integrations (Apple Health, Garmin, MyFitnessPal, Fitbit, Withings), automated program delivery, Zapier integrations, master workouts and programs
  • Available add-ons: Business ($25/month), Advanced Nutrition Coaching ($20/month), Stripe Integrated Payments ($10/month), Video Coaching ($10/month)

Best for: coaches with one or two clients who want access to the AI workout builder and integrations. The 2-client cap means coaches outgrow this tier within their first few weeks of accepting new clients.

The Pro Plans (Pro 5 through Pro 200)

The Pro tier is where most active Trainerize coaches sit. Pro pricing scales by client count, with seven sub-tiers based on roster size.

Pro pricing by tier (monthly billing, USD)

  • Pro 5: $23/month, up to 5 clients
  • Pro 15: pricing scales (Trainerize's comparison table shows entry-level Pro at $10/month for up to 15 clients on a different breakdown. Check the current pricing page for your exact tier)
  • Pro 30: scales further
  • Pro 50: scales further
  • Pro 75: scales further
  • Pro 100: $79/month (per Trainerize's small business comparison tier covering 30-100 clients)
  • Pro 200: $275/month (per Trainerize's medium-to-enterprise comparison tier covering 200-1,000 clients)

Note: Trainerize displays its Pro pricing as a slider that lets you select client count, and the exact price for each tier is shown when you adjust the slider on the live pricing page. The numbers above reflect the tier breakpoints visible at time of writing.

Pro plan inclusions

  • Everything in Free and Grow
  • Mobile app for iOS and Android, AI Workout Builder, full programming and workout tracking
  • In-app messaging and groups, voice messages, auto messages, video calls (with add-on)
  • Digital member profiles, client tags, appointments, classes, calendar sync, consultation forms
  • Product sales and automation, session packs, payment processing (with add-on)
  • Trainerize.me profile and storefront
  • Integrations: Garmin, Withings, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, YouTube, Zapier
  • Live customer support, email and live chat support, live masterclass calls

Pro plan add-on costs

  • Custom-branded app: $169 one-time setup fee plus $99/year Apple developer fee
  • Advanced Nutrition Coaching: $20/month (Pro 5 and Pro 15) or $45/month (Pro 30 to Pro 200)
  • Business add-on: $25/month
  • Stripe Integrated Payments: $10/month
  • Video Coaching: $10/month

Best for: active coaches with established clienteles. Pro is where Trainerize's feature set unlocks meaningfully and where most working coaches end up. The trade-off is the per-client pricing structure: your software bill rises every time you cross into a higher Pro tier.

The Studio Plus Plan

Studio Plus is built for fitness studios, multi-location businesses, and larger operations.

  • Cost: $248/month per location
  • Client capacity: up to 500 or 1,000 clients per location
  • Includes everything in Pro plus: Studio-level custom-branded iOS, Android, and Apple Watch app (no separate setup fee), API access, multi-location programming content control, business partner add-ons (ABC Glofox, Mindbody), personalized onboarding support
  • All paid add-ons (Custom Branded App, Business, Advanced Nutrition Coaching, Stripe Integrated Payments, Video Coaching) included at no extra cost

Best for: single and multi-location fitness studios with established membership bases who want to extend in-person training into online and hybrid models. The all-inclusive pricing makes Studio Plus competitive once you would otherwise be paying for three or more Pro add-ons.

Trainerize Pricing vs Alternatives

How Trainerize compares on price to the other major coaching platforms in 2026.

QuickCoach

Free for up to 20 active clients. Pro is a flat monthly subscription with unlimited clients, branded client app, branded emails and printed plans all included. No per-client scaling, no add-on stack. Get started free at quickcoach.fit.

TrueCoach

No free tier. Starter $26.34/month for 5 clients (annual billing), Standard $57.99/month for 20 clients, Pro $136.99/month for 50 clients. Per-client pricing model similar to Trainerize Pro. Transaction fees apply on payments processed.

Everfit

Free Starter for 5 clients. Pro starts at $19/month for 5 clients and scales to $290/month for 300 clients. Studio from $105/month for 50 clients. Add-ons stack separately (Autoflow $29/month, Meal Plans $39/month, Payments $9/month, On-Demand $25/month).

No free tier. Starter $25/month for 3 clients. Premium $59/month flexible (or $29.50/month annual) for unlimited clients. Ultimate $215/month with all add-ons. Custom-branded app $95 one-time, full white-label app $145/month.

Is Trainerize Worth It?

Trainerize is worth the cost if you need its specific strengths: deep integration ecosystem, broad wearables coverage, long platform history, and a mature feature set built up over more than a decade. Coaches whose clients heavily rely on wearables, or who want to integrate with a wider fitness ecosystem (ABC Glofox, Mindbody), get genuine value from staying on the platform.

Trainerize is not worth it if your priorities are different. Coaches who want a real free tier (Basic's 1-client limit is restrictive), a flat-rate pricing model that does not scale with roster size, or a single bundled subscription instead of a base plan plus stacked add-ons, will find alternatives that fit better.

The coaching platform category in 2026 has matured significantly. Multiple platforms now offer free tiers that are genuinely useful for running an early practice. Multiple platforms offer flat-rate unlimited-clients pricing. Multiple platforms bundle the features Trainerize charges separately for. If those things matter to your business, it is worth comparing alternatives before committing.

The Honest Bottom Line

Trainerize is a feature-rich, mature platform with strong integrations and a long track record. The pricing reflects that: it is not the cheapest, and the real monthly cost is meaningfully higher than the headline numbers suggest once add-ons are included.

For coaches just starting out or building an early practice, the 1-client free tier and the scaling Pro pricing make it a hard sell against alternatives like QuickCoach (20-client free tier, flat-rate Pro) or Everfit (5-client free tier, lower entry pricing).

For established coaches with specific needs around integrations, wearables, or studio-level operations, Trainerize is genuinely strong and the pricing is defensible. For everyone else, the platform category has alternatives worth evaluating first.

If you are weighing Trainerize against QuickCoach specifically, the simplest test is the free tier. QuickCoach supports 20 active clients on the free plan; Trainerize supports 1. For most coaches at the start of their journey, that difference alone resolves the decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Trainerize cost in 2026?

Trainerize pricing in 2026 starts with a free plan for 1 client, Grow at $9/month for 2 clients, Pro from $23/month for 5 clients scaling up to $275/month for 200 clients, and Studio Plus at $248/month per location. Add-ons for nutrition ($20-$45/month), payments ($10/month), video coaching ($10/month), and a custom-branded app ($169 one-time plus $99/year) are charged separately on most plans.

Does Trainerize have a free plan?

Yes, Trainerize has a free Basic plan, but it only supports 1 coaching client. It includes the mobile app, workout programs, basic nutrition tracking, and in-app messaging. The 1-client limit makes it useful for testing the platform but not viable for running an actual coaching practice.

What does Trainerize Pro include?

Trainerize Pro includes the AI Workout Builder, full programming and tracking, in-app messaging and groups, digital member profiles, client tags, appointments, calendar sync, consultation forms, product sales and automation, wearable integrations, and live customer support. Pro pricing scales by client count from Pro 5 ($23/month) through Pro 200 ($275/month). Add-ons for nutrition, payments, video, and branded apps are extra.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Trainerize?

Yes. QuickCoach offers a free tier supporting 20 active clients (versus Trainerize's 1-client free plan) and a Pro tier with unlimited clients at a fixed monthly rate. QuickCoach Pro includes branded client app, branded emails, and branded printouts with no add-on stacking. For most solo coaches, QuickCoach is significantly cheaper than Trainerize at equivalent roster sizes.
