FitSW for Personal Trainers Reviews

by Jem192736

Waste of time and money. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Between the constant glitching, terrible workout videos in FitSW , and the amount of times it’s crashed on me I have no patience left for FitSW. I wish I didn’t have 20+ clients already in FitSW or I’d be done with it already. I have no clue how it has the reviews it does, DO NOT WASTE TOUR TIME FIND A DIFFERENT APP!!!!

Was setting up a clients schedule and noticed none of the excercises were populating. Closed FitSW still not showing up. Deleted and reinstalled and still did not fix the issue.
App looks like it could fundamentally be greasy for starter trainers but can’t really rate it based upon not being able to even set up a single workout for my client. Will delete and wait for updates.

If you are in FitSW , it tends to at times not remember where u are, even though it has not been closest. The pain here is u need to navigate back to where u were.

Also sometimes the work outs just disappear. You need to close FitSW and wait for them to reload.

I have been using FitSW for a while and it has been great until the last couple months. I keep trying to input the current day for the workout date but it inputs a random date from last year. I try to manually change the date and it won’t let me. It seems like there are some bug issues with it. I would appreciate the assistance thank you.

FitSW deleted all of my clients and I logged out to see if it was a glitch and it wouldn’t let me log back in. When I type in my login info it doesn’t open. It just freezes on the login screen. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling FitSW and it still didn’t work. This is my first day having FitSW and I was very excited about it but now it’s just frustrating and kind of embarrassing as I have signed up new clients to FitSW

I can’t even make a program and log the amount of reps for them to do as typing it in as them going to failure. It has to be an exact number or it won’t log. Shouldn’t be so hard to fix that. Also my clients can’t update their progress or update the amount of reps they did without it changing back to the number of reps I typed in for them to do to begin with since I can’t type in FitSW for them to go to failure on the amount of reps or seconds done on exercises. Didn’t have that problem with Trainerize app.

I love FitSW and it is very easy to use. However, I have been having issues with FitSW deleting or changing the weights I put in for each exercise (like I’ll put in 10 for the weight and FitSW will change it to 60, or completely delete it), and when Results are added by myself (the trainer) or the client FitSW deletes them so the data is then gone making the tables and graphs unusable. I would really like to be able to use FitSW but these are glaring issues.

FitSW is fairly easy to navigate. Pricing is great. Copying workouts can be a pain. If you need to change set numbers on a superset, you have to completely delete it, re-add it with correct amount of sets, and then re-order it into the correct order which doesn’t always save correctly. Many times when I’ve “added” a workout, the video doesn’t show up even though it’s been linked. With a few adjustments FitSW could be perfect!

It is a great app to use along with training my clients and the ability to make them accountable and to provide that constant source of motivation. But sometimes FitSW crashes during a session or the screen turns black on FitSW or it crashes and I lose the progress for that session. It has occurred a couple of times now to the point where it is becoming a hassle. The web version is a better option to use as it does not occur from there, please fix this issue.

I have found FitSW to be very helpful and intuitive. The only problem I have with it is that clients have complained that the messaging option is a little confusing. It would be helpful if they could just touch the notification and have it take them to the message. Also, it automatically takes them to the top of the workout every time their screen closes. It would be great if it could stay where they were at instead of resetting to the top. Other than that, I am loving it. It’s very simple to write plans and I love the demo feature. It is easy to add an exercise they do not feature in their library and link a video.

This was the only app that could get me close to what I needed when building multiple workouts for multiple clients.

Some thoughts:
- Cardio movements should be allowed to be part of a superset. Some of us work in active rest, like mountain climbers, in between strength training.
- I can see Draft status via the browser, but not FitSW . It would be great if I had more control over what my client saw or didn’t see. This goes for comments & notes as well.
- Even when disabling all editing options on client’s actions, they’re still able to edit past workouts.

Love the concept of this app. However, it’s quite unreliable and therefore extremely frustrating. It frequently crashes, for example, when you are in the middle of planning a workout for a client, leaving you having to start over again. Please address these issues ASAP.

I’ve been using this app to design and track my clients’ workouts for the past year. FitSW is so easy to set up and use, and FitSW developers are fantastic - they’re responsive and continually integrating new features and improvements into the software. It’s an integral part of my program.

If you’re a trainer, definitely give this app a try; you’ll be glad you did! Keep up the great work this app team! 👍👍

Much improved interface. I am loving it and it's very easy to use. Thank you for adding super sets to the workout builder!

by Jeannie Fitness1

The workout builder is great! It lets me create workouts quickly on the go. Finally I found an app that makes it easy to create supersets and have demo videos for my online clients. Thank you for your excellent customer support also.

by Daniel Cabrera Strength

FitSW is extremely well done. Makes managing complex workouts easy. I like that I can create workouts for multiple clients at once and tailor as needed. Thank you for being so helpful with my questions as well.

by Larry Fit

Thank you guys for making this so simple to use given all the features it has. It’s so much easier to use than the other fitness trainer softwares I have tried to use for my coaching business. Very helpful at helping me to keep my training clients on track

I’ve been using this app for a few months and it’s been a great addition for my clients. It’s easy to use and customize. One thing I hope gets added is the ability to create folders in order to better organize programs/workouts.

Keep it up this app team, I really appreciate all of your effort!

by JM Co

All the new features that are being added are so helpful! They even updated FitSW with a feature I requested. Very responsive team!
