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.
Quick answer
Trainerize costs $0 for 1 client (Basic) or $9/month for 2 (Grow, annual). Most coaches use the Pro slider, which runs from $23/month for 5 clients up to $225/month for 200 clients on annual billing. Studio Plus is $248/month per location. Add-ons stack separately.
How it compares to QuickCoach
Trainerize's price climbs with every client you add, and features like nutrition, payments, and a branded app are paid add-ons. QuickCoach stays flat: free for up to 20 clients, then $30/month for unlimited. The trade-off is that QuickCoach has no native payment processing, so you bill clients through Stripe or a similar tool.

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, then annual per month)
- Pro 5: $25/month, or $23/month on annual billing. Up to 5 clients.
- Pro 15: $50/month, or $45/month annual. Up to 15 clients.
- Pro 30: $79/month, or $71/month annual. Up to 30 clients.
- Pro 50: $135/month, or $122/month annual. Up to 50 clients.
- Pro 75: $180/month, or $162/month annual. Up to 75 clients.
- Pro 100: $225/month, or $203/month annual. Up to 100 clients.
- Pro 200: $250/month, or $225/month annual. Up to 200 clients.
Trainerize displays Pro pricing as a slider, so you pick a client count and the price updates on the live pricing page. The breakpoints above are the standard tiers. If you land between two of them, verify the exact figure on the slider before you commit, since mid-tier values move.
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 and Studio Max Plans
Studio Plus is built for fitness studios, multi-location businesses, and larger operations.
- Cost: $275/month per location (monthly billing), $248/month (annual billing)
- Client capacity: up to 500 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
Studio Max is the higher-capacity version of the same plan. It costs $380/month per location (monthly billing) or $342/month (annual billing) and lifts the cap to 1,000 clients per location, with the same all-inclusive add-on bundle.
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, and Studio Max suits the same studios once they pass 500 clients per location.
What Coaches Actually Pay (Realistic Cost Scenarios)
The headline pricing on Trainerize's site is the floor, not the ceiling. Most working coaches stack at least one or two add-ons. Here is what coaches at typical roster sizes actually end up paying once they have layered up the features they need.
New coach, under 5 clients
- Pro 5 base subscription: $25/month, no add-ons yet
- Total: $25/month, or $23/month on annual billing
Growing coach, 15 clients, wants nutrition coaching
- Pro 15 base subscription: $50/month
- Advanced Nutrition Coaching: $20/month
- Total: $70/month monthly, or $65/month annual ($45 + $20)
Established coach, 50 clients, with payments and nutrition
- Pro 50 base subscription: $135/month
- Advanced Nutrition Coaching: $45/month
- Stripe Integrated Payments: $10/month
- Total: $190/month monthly, or $177/month annual ($122 + $45 + $10)
The Business add-on at $25/month is the cleaner route here. It folds in payments and video coaching together, so the stack becomes $135 + $45 + $25 = $205/month monthly, or $122 + $45 + $25 = $192/month annual, with more features along for the ride than the standalone payments add-on alone.
Studio, 300 clients at one location
- Studio Plus per location: $275/month, all add-ons included
- Total: $275/month, or $248/month on annual billing
Add-On Details
| Add-on | Cost | Available on |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Branded App | $169 one-time setup, plus $99/year Apple Developer fee | Pro tiers (Studio Plus and Studio Max include their own) |
| Advanced Nutrition Coaching | $20/mo (Grow, Pro 5, Pro 15) or $45/mo (Pro 30 to Pro 200) | Grow and Pro tiers |
| Business | $25/mo | Grow and Pro tiers |
| Stripe Integrated Payments | $10/mo | Grow and Pro tiers |
| Video Coaching | $10/mo | Grow and Pro tiers |
The $99/year Apple Developer fee is paid to Apple and sits separate from the $169 one-time branded-app setup charge. All of the add-ons above come bundled into the Studio Plus and Studio Max plans at no extra cost.

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 $225/month for 200 clients (annual billing), and Studio Plus at $248/month per location ($275/month monthly), with Studio Max at $342/month per location ($380/month monthly) for up to 1,000 clients. 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 ($25/month) through Pro 200 ($250/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.
