PT Distinction Erfahrungen

The best online training software!

Kommentare: PT Distinction has saved me enormous amounts of time when it comes to programming workouts for my online clients. I can programme months in advance very quickly. This is a huge benefit to me.

Vorteile:

The workout builder is by far the best and easiest to use of all the softwares I have tried. The app is so simple to use and provides everything I need for my online coaching business.

Nachteile:

No- I love it all! However, the only thing I would suggest is perhaps creating a meal plan within the app itself.

Highly recommended

Vorteile:

Pt Distinction has checked off all boxes for me and my business. My clients love the ease of use within my own branded app that they provided me. They use the system for all their workouts, and I fully believe that their progress has been impacted by the fact that they have an easy to use program that I can adjust, and vary because there are hundreds of different workouts that I can add.

Nachteile:

My clients haven't had any issues with the software at all, so since they are happy, I am very happy with everything provided.

Buyer Beware - There are better options out there

Kommentare: PTD was the first software/app I used with my coaching business and it was just that - fine for a beginner. However, now that my team has grown and the number of clients we serve has grown, it's time to step up my game. PTD is lacking on so many fronts. Yes, PTD offers many great features, but if those features aren't reliably working in the app, then what's the point of having them? I've sent countless emails to PTD's support, none of which are taken seriously. The app looks like it was dated back to the first iPhone, and is SO SLOW. The messenger within the app doesn't automatically refresh and constantly freezes or takes minutes to load. PTD has alot of potential, but until the owners/developers start listening to their customers and improving the functionality of the app, they will lose customers. There are MUCH better options out there at similar price points that far exceed the performance of PTD.

Vorteile:

PTD has plenty of solid features. The scheduled messaging function is great, the nutrition and habit coaching is good, the ability to separate and store content like videos, PDFs, etc into groups is nice.

Nachteile:

The UI of the app is pretty bad for clients. I've had countless clients complain to me that the app is slow, or continues to freeze, or randomly crashes. Push notifications are spotty at best, even with all settings turned on in appropriate places. I've reached out to PTD's support numerous times and they always blame the client's phone. Customer support itself is lacking with this company.

Global expansion

Kommentare: The software and the company has grown since I started over 3 years ago. Everyone was very helpful and the support and education they have in place now is the best. They have a great community with users that are always willing to help each other. This software made it very easy to expand my business globally.

Vorteile:

PTDistinction is a robust application that enables the personal trainer to services many clients at the same time. The ability to have multiple groups with different programs, schedules, videos, and run automatically is one of the best features. I also love that I can create my own exercise videos so my clients get to see me demonstrating the exercise for them. I can also use the library of exercises for variety for my clients.

Nachteile:

Getting everything set up on your own the first time was challenging. Now they have the Online University that steps you through how to set everything up and guides you on how to be successful with the software.

I can say YES to every question now

Kommentare: I have basically everything i would tell my client to do as home work in the palm of their hands. A video series to should proper form when ever they need. Typically trainers are just trainers not video gurus so having the reference is perfect. My benefit from the program is using it to train multiple people at once and get more results. BES THING IS I DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF TO MY CLIENTS OVER AND OVER. I let the app do it.

Vorteile:

I can give anyone I meet an automated program and still work with other clients. I can create custom routines to give my clients as homework and reference so if they forget anything its there all in one place. and the ORGANIZATION is amazing, easy to track everything and to see progress.

Nachteile:

The android app features are still catching up and not as user friendly as the IOS app. Such as seeing pictures or uploading pictures.

An Absolute Must For Any Online Personal Trainer

Kommentare: PT Distinction is far the best online personal training / coaching programme I have used, in my experience. I have used others in the past, which were good, but for the price you pay, PTD is far more advanced, user friendly (for client and trainer) and the support you get is second-to-none. The PTD University is great too, as it shows you exactly how to do things. And in a few clicks you're on your way.

Vorteile:

The ease of use for both trainer and client, especially V.3. The software is very clear, useable and easy to learn, even if you're not a technical wizz. All the sections are logical - "Coaching" is where you would find things that you would use to coach your client. "Tracking" is where you would expect things to be tracked. The scheduling of emails and messages are a really useful tool and really easy to use.

Nachteile:

Although the messaging and email service is excellent, I do find that I have to resync my email server with it - Really don't know why and may just be a glitch. But apart from that, it's great!

PTD is a life saver

Kommentare: My overall experience is that I absolutely love this app and am thankful for being part of the team and a member as well.. This software has saved me so much time while also assisting me in giving my members the best service. The alerts, messaging, workouts, scheduling, calendar and all the features in this app is why I will continue using this application and why I fell in love with PTD and why the monthly fee does not matter to me because PTD deserves every penny.

Vorteile:

I like that this software is easy to work with and set up especially for those who are just starting out and do not have a back end system built in order to assist members. This is such a time saver and the fact that this app allows for group messaging, alerts, and simple but super necessary features, is why I have been using PTD for 3 years+.

Nachteile:

Could have complete customization rather than having members download the base form app and then having to manually change icon. This is present in all similar software in the market place though and is not an issue that PTD has alone. This is because Apple the company, made new app store rules which does not allow for third party hosting like it used to.

The game changer I needed for my business

Kommentare: Time is important to me and initially, it took time to set up but now I concentrate on other things whilst the business runs itself giving me many hours back each week.

Vorteile:

The system is an amazing asset to my business. I have an automated button on my website which leads the client to the PT distinction software allowing them to join and download their very own app which is branded to my business. Once they have gained access they enter a 12-week fat loss course which automates emails with all learning tools, educational videos, and much more straight to the client when I want them to receive it. They also complete consultation forms which allow me to design fitness programs based on their goals which my library now has an abundance of programs covering all areas. The clients are learning and achieving whilst I concentrate on the support. Such an easy software to use and integrates to PayPal for payment ease. Saves me so much time and allows my business to run smoothly.

Nachteile:

I would like to see at the end of a program the client being congratulated and letting them know if they have achieved any personal bests, this was a good area my old software gave.

Best fitness software!

Kommentare: I have used and will continue to use PT distinction for my coaching business. There is zero other software that comes close!

Vorteile:

Love the ease of use as a trainer and especially having my own personalized app!

Nachteile:

N/A - would love more features for nutrition if able

PTDistinction is the Only Online Coaching Tool You'll Need

Vorteile:

The ability to create and customize entire program for client, while being able to simply track habits and behaviours. Integration of video/PDF/text files, etc are incredibly simple

Nachteile:

Lack of Mobile App customization tailoring of the program - Web access is required

Love this app!

Kommentare: The new app interface is so functional and easy to use for clients. It helps you to easily stay in touch without having to repeat tasks that can be automated. It's genius! And they are very receptive to feedback and suggestions.

Vorteile:

I love the customer service!! [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is the best hands down. The app is meant to help you save time and scale by using group stacking to quickly automate and customize your coaching services.

Nachteile:

There is a learning curve! Other software may be easier to understand at first but there is a whole university for training, amazing customer service, live trainings, and a fair pricing strategy to help you grow.

Great Application!

Kommentare: Overall very happy with the quality of this product. It makes running my business so much easier!

Vorteile:

I like the ease this program allows when training larger groups of people. Makes everything very easy and organized. Highly Recommended.

Nachteile:

I feel like there should be more video options for the exercises. Also, I wish there was a way to group the exercises together differently.

Cutting Edge Coaching Software

Kommentare: I switched over from MyPTHub because I was having a horrible experience with them. PT Distinction has literally restored my faith in coaching software and I see myself using this platform for many years to come.

Vorteile:

I like how functional it is and how user-friendly the interface is. As a coach, it allows for seamless program delivery and the technique comparison section is a great USP for cleints, especially in the current climate. I'm loving the software so far and can't wait to see how it looks in the near future.

Nachteile:

I think a Stripe integration would be fantastic. It would make sales easier for group packages or challenges. Sometimes check-ins duplicate also, but this is not a major issue and can be overlooked quite easily.

Easy of Use

Kommentare: I am incredibly happy with this service and how customizable it is while keeping a clean and simple user face.

Vorteile:

Most apps make me feel like they are a chore to use, but PTDistinction is SO USER FRIENDLY. It's the only app I feel comfortable having my clients use. I'll be a lifelong user. Their customer support is very friendly, fast and thorough.

Nachteile:

Sometimes the app glitches and doesn't let users save results. I think this is very affected by internet connection.

PT Distinction Walks the Talk

Kommentare: The software has allowed me to continue with my business through the pandemic. I am able to move in-person training clients to the app and also use it as part of remote/video training service.

Vorteile:

PT Distinction is easy to use and fits into my business concept of building relationships. It is incredibly easy to provide services to my clients. But where PT Distinction truly excels far and above is their customer support. They provide several avenues for support including email, Facebook support groups, and YouTube video instruction. They are clearly interested in building relationships with their customers.

Nachteile:

From my client's perspective, there are some minor annoyances mainly in using the software mostly related to timer / workout integration. But as they see how flexible the app is, they are enjoying it. From my perspective as a trainer, it would be nice to be able to do more client management from the smartphone app (though if there is, I have not found how to do it yet). Also, it is not set up well to run a group "class" workout easily. This would be a nice option.

The BEST personal training software, hands down

Vorteile:

Almost every time I ask “I wonder if PT distinction can do this” the answer is yes. There are SO many features that I love that make this software so much more superior than anything else on the market. Here are a few of my favorites: -automation capabilities: PTD makes it super easy to automate your business with all of the options offered inside of the software. It’s super easy to just set it up once and then focus on coaching and connecting with clients rather than fiddling with software all the time. -The workout builder: this is by far the best workout builder of any personal trainer software that exists (& I’ve trialed several). It’s so simple and quick and EASY to create entire workout plans. Prior to PTD it would literally take me hours to create workouts for clients but this workout builder is amazing. -support: the support of the team at PTD is fantastic. They are receptive and also really listen when users request features. There are plenty of tutorials that are actually in depth and extremely helpful, not just a basic text FAQ like some other software offers - there are never any glitches. This is the smoothest software I’ve used in a long time. It just WORKS and I never have to message about something not working correctly

Nachteile:

The only things I don’t love about PTD are: -the fact that the timer doesn’t vibrate the phone or appear larger for clients using the app (however many apps don’t even have a timer feature so I digress) - the group chat feature does not allow users to appear with their names, only initials which can quickly get confusing. I opt to use another form of communication for my group programs. -there is no simple way to quickly view client compliance. The software makes you review the activity one by one (think each individual exercise) as opposed to a quick view of how many workouts a client has completed or how many days in a row they have stuck to their habits. (Although word on the street is that this will be improved in a major update coming soon)

An effective platform for online coaching

Kommentare: The support from of PT distinction has been great. Efficient and fast with their replies. Having the Facebook support group helps the development of my own knowledge.

Vorteile:

There are lots of features on this platform that have helped deliver online coaching to my clients in a professional and effective way. I really like all the communication tools. The way you can set up groups of clients and contact them as a cohort to help deliver instruction and motivational cues are beneficial to help grow a support network. The client view is very clean and easy to use. The feedback I've received has been very positive and my clients love having a platform to store all their fitness data, as well as track it! It's great to have the app service, as it means I'm easy to contact and also, my coaching tools are portable. And the video workout library is so helpful!

Nachteile:

In the main, this platform is doing everything I need it to for now. The only thing I'd personally like to have is integration with Garmin and Strava, as I'm a run coach. But the integrations with MFP and Fitbit and Myzone are great.

Long Term Lover of PTD!

Kommentare: amazing 100%

Vorteile:

easibility, customization, everything is great!

Nachteile:

Wish I could do a little bit more as far as programming for clients

Great program for pre set fitness/nutrition coaching

Kommentare: Once I learned how to build programs and integrate communication with in each program it was great to run and coach pre set programs. Doing customized programming was a challenge because there is so many steps to get to each part of a program to simply adjust a exercise within a clients program. Customer support was timely and helpful dealing with common problems. Any glitches found or re occurring crashing or non functioning features were not fixed within the time I was using the app

Vorteile:

The automations from programming, messaging, emails, habit tracking is very well integrated.

Nachteile:

The DIY of setting up integrations with payment, website unless you pay extra for help to have it set up. Adjusting programs and schedulinf

Easy to build, but does take time

Kommentare: So far, it has been a good experience. I think there is definitely, A LOT of potential for this to be a kick butt program for clients and trainers. I love a lot of the features and am excited to see how my business will take off, once I input all the rest of my programs together. It does take sometime to really fully customize it so it feels more like YOUR brand, but overall, this is a fantastic software. Keep it up!

Vorteile:

I loved that I had control of who has access to the app. I also like that I can create programs easily. But my favorite part is how simple it was to upload videos and exercises that I can implement into my programs. It does take time to upload a ton of material, but each piece of new information added to my programs. I like how many of my clients were able to easily understand the app without too much confusion. There were minor details that I needed to share, but was able to do easily without issues.

Nachteile:

Two things: 1) the stopwatch/timer did not work for many of my clients who tried to use it, including myself. 2) I, as a trainer, do not receive notifications of when a client completes a workout, and there is not way for me to give them an immediate feedback on their progress, other than through the messaging system, but it can be confusing, if a client does not know which workout session I am referring too. 3) There is not an easy way for a client to see my schedule and my availabilities. I had to go through a 3rd party to get a calendar. However, I do LOVE the feature that we can schedule my client's at home workout sessions into their schedule, so it notifies them.

Fantastic all in one coaching app for Personal Trainers

Kommentare: I use this product daily for an ongoing group of personal training clients and couldn't be happier with its usability. It's a simple to use, but incredibly powerful, system that my clients love. It has a huge variety of exercises to construct workouts from and an intuitive "groups" builder that allows you to use the platform for any style of coaching, whether that be for nutrition, habits or simply programming fitness work outs. if you don't have a website it provides you with a simple start up one and comes with it's own in-built university learning feature to make sure you get the most out of it for your business. The support group is phenomenal and fast to help or suggest new ways to make your business thrive and no question is left unanswered. The app can even be personalised with you company colours and logo or can be set up from scratch, for a fee, by the PTD team if you don't have the time or inclination to do it yourself. A fantastic product all round.

Vorteile:

Everything - see overall experience below...

Nachteile:

If there are any they are usually solved asap as the product is constantly being updated with new suggestions from PT's taken on board swiftly also

Really good software

Kommentare: PT Distinction made my work much easier and time efficient. All the workouts, diets, files, videos, measurements and more can be uploaded straight to the app and it is available for my clients on their phones. They like it very much due to easy access to everything and it is the best feedback for myself. The look of the platform is nice and clean and it is a pleasure to work on programs etc. Highly recommend to everyone who is thinking of choosing the online platform. It is very professional and easy to use and you can also use free workshops.

Vorteile:

This software does what it is supposed to do. It is straight to the point and it has endless possibilities. You can do whatever you want and need in your business. The app has got everything your clients need and myself as a trainer got access to the tools I need to use with my clients. I can upload my own videos for exercises which makes the whole process of working with your client very professional. The customer service is great and respond to you very quick. You get the access to free workshops. Facebook community is just great

Nachteile:

Well there is nothing really I haven't liked in PTD. So far so good !!!

Absolutely Recommended

Kommentare: Phenomenal. I've used other online softwares and none compare to this. Has given me back time and the ability to take on more clients and provide 100x the value to them!

Vorteile:

The ease of uploading templates and distribution to clients and ability to edit them after assigning it to a client. The ability to auto release content to a client's schedule when you want it to. Saves MASSIVE time for me.

Nachteile:

The lack of exercises provided for resistance bands and some for body weight alone.

Almost Perfect

Kommentare: I don't think the above con is a huge issue unless lots more people complain about it. I can see it possibly being an issue though. Worth keeping an eye on.

Vorteile:

I love how many exercises there are to choose from and that it makes it look like I have my own app. Very customizable.

Nachteile:

It was frustrating when everything got switched around a week before a very important business opportunity came up for me, possibly one that I won't receive again in my lifetime. It wasn't anyone in particulars fault but they must have thought it looked more strealined having the details of each exercise on a while new page that you can only find by pushing a little (i) button. Now it's just a big page that says notes with nothing on it. I understand that it could be useful in the future when clients right notes for themselves, but so far I have just had complaints about that.

User for 3+ Years

Kommentare: This review is LONG overdue. I've been a user of PTD for over 3-years and I gotta say it truly is a GAME-CHANGER. Not only is it super easy to use and flow through but it's helped me save so much time and opened up room for me to do the other day-to-day tasks. I use it to program and send Habit Reminders, the exercise library is STACKED and don't get me started with the Backend Support, Thank you [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for helping me become a PTD Ninja!. If you're a Personal Trainer, Health & Wellness Coach and want to get online to better serve your clients PTD is the platform for you! -Serge
[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

Vorteile:

Easy to use. App looks great. Exercise Library. Able to schedule habits, emails, messages easily.

Nachteile:

Some of my clients were not getting notifications even when they allowed notifications and even when they deleted and re-uploaded app. Also when they accidently check-in there's no way for them to "un-Check-In"
