Default Online personal training software

Good evening everyone i am looking for a sensibly priced program that i can offer my clients so that they can login via internet to enter there workouts and diet in return i can view what they did and comment on it.

I have heard great news about crosstrainer has anyone used it before or using it now?

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks Keith.

I was just looking at Trainerforce has anyone used ut before? Basically i am looking for something that the client and i can interact back and forth with.

I work mostly online and stuck between should i create client meal and workout plans off line and just create a private for all my clients they would login forum to get routines etc. or get online software.

what do most of you guys do? create offline and email/print or do you do it online through software?

Thanks in advance

I create offline and email it to clients. I also have a private forum for my clients, but that's more for discussion and information sharing.

I only do a handful of online clients at the moment, though. Some trainers I know run 60+ clients online, so that might be a different logistical story.

As another question, if someone were trying to break into the online training business in a bigger way, what are some tips that you guys have? I haven't decided if I want to make that angle any bigger than it is now, but I do appreciate the option.

Thoughts?

I too have a private forum for discussion works pretty well for educational reasons and support among my private clients.

I have registered at itrainharder as it looks basic to understand and work with and is reasonably priced for both me and my clients.

Right now i got 3 clients who i by choice am not charging due to there circumstances but have 2 clients who are already paid. I will only work with a few clients at a time 60 clients is way too much LOL.

Thanks for feedback Isaac i think i will do a combination of both email and itrainharder i think it will work well.

Create a poster for your online portion of the business i have actually started doing that and it will be up in a mall soon.

Thanks again guys.

While not in the business myself, I have seen one approach that seems to work very well. I know of one personal trainer who has "sponsored" a forum that caters to beginners to diet and exercise, and he is always around offering his services and helping make their transition to the new life easier. I believe he is actually pretty successful with this approach, but it could be more time consuming than you need at the moment.

Let me know if this helped =).
