I also find it very easy to set up workout programs or swap a single exercise inside a clients program. > > **Cons**: The message function needs to be improved. I have to go out and back in again to read new messages sometimes. > > I like the App since it give me control over my clients progression. There are several tools that my clients use daily to keep focus on their own progression. ----- ### "Best fitness software\!" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *20 May 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love the ease of use as a trainer and especially having my own personalized app\! > > **Cons**: N/A - would love more features for nutrition if able > > I have used and will continue to use PT distinction for my coaching business. There is zero other software that comes close\! ----- ### "Lots of Integrations - Overall Poor UI - Slow Development and Lots of Bugs & Unattractive Features" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 October 2020* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: PTD has a lot of capabilities and integrations. > > **Cons**: I wish that I had more good things to say about PTD. We made the switch from Trainerize to create an overall more integrated experience for our clients -- I was drawn to PTD only for the google sheets integration which is big for our client delivery - however PTD has many issues 1.) The UI looks very old and looks as though it hasn't been updated in years. It's slow - to me it looks like something that has been built using cheaper means - i am trying to say this in the nicest possible way - but I worked in silicon valley for years. 2.) Clients often do not get notifications and the PTD team has no better response other than blaming the phone of the user. If this were the case - my clients would have had the same issue with Trainerize and they didnt. I have spoken to other PTD users as well and everyone has the same issue. The lack of responsibility that they seem to take in tackling this very clear BUG does not sit well with me. 3.) The search feature in the mobile app does not work period. 4.) There software updates take FOREVER. Literally they always say "this will be taken care of in the next update" -- which seems to take months if ever. 5.) there is no way to make messages unread - this to me is such a SIMPLE request yet they fight it tooth and nail. Sometimes our team has to come back to a client question and we have no way of remembering what we need to follow up with (they claim this will be taken care of in the "next update" which is still yet to happen. > > I am continuing the things I don't like here because I have been cut off above .... 6.) The client can automatically see once a message has been read- sometimes we have to dig deeper to get our clients the best possible response and this means we cannot respond right away. This makes for terrible customer service optics because it looks like we have "read" the message without responding. 7.) The app freezes and clients lose their workout tracking when their phone locks - PTD blames user error but this never happened with trainerize. Lastly - I hope that they start taking client feedback into consideration and take responsibility to look into the bugs mentioned above vs continuing to blame user error. Unfortunately I feel stuck with PTD because of the google sheets integration - but i MUCH prefer the look, ease of use and UI of Trainerize. ----- ### "PT Distinction has been a GAME CHANGER" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *14 November 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The feature that has been a game changer for me is the email automation you are able to set up in PT Distinction as a group and you can time it for when you want it to go and to which clients. This means I can focus more the deliverables for the clients as I only needed to set that up once something I was unable to do using Trainerzie for example. > > **Cons**: I think the exercise library could be bigger, the fitness assessments aren't the most user friendly for clients (it would be okay if they were with their coach or PT in the gym as the coach would have all the tech) but they aren't any videos or explanation for clients on how they should do each test that's why I have removed it from my onboarding process which is a shame because one of the problems in my niche (amputees) is posture. So if you could improve that part of the tech that would be awesome. Another problem is the measurements part of the software one of my clients had to input data on say 14 Nov and then change the date for it to be log - probably an easy fix if it were in the same place as progress pictures. > > I need to check the software far less than I did with Trainerize, it's a lot easier to get them to do progress pictures. ----- ### "Finally found MY training software, worth the monthly price." — 5.0/5 > **Tina** | *26 August 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked the most was the combination of business features AND back-end programming features that help save time. The programming features such as the habit tracker, workout builder and pre-made programs are all very helpful to make day to tay tasks for client programs efficient and effective. > > **Cons**: The business features did take a little more time to set up than some others I have had in the past but it was worth it to incorporate the WordPress divi builder website integration. The instructions and online support also helped mitigate any confusion but there was some. > > Overall very positive, I have been looking for a software that combines both the holistic programming features I wanted with strong business features with a great user interface with no glitches or bugs. I definitely found my software ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/324318/pt-distinction?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/324318/pt-distinction) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
