Trainerize coaches a roster. Trybe sells to everyone else.
Built to sell programs at scale
1:1 coaching has two limits: how many people will buy it, and how many hours you have. Trybe lets you sell to an unlimited number of members from your audience and saves you valuable time.
Members pick a program and follow it on their own. Nothing about the model asks for more of your hours as it grows.
Built to coach a roster
Trainerize is personal training software: client seats, assigned programs, messaging and habit tracking. Plans are sold by the seat, from 5 to 200 clients on Pro, with selling and payments as add-ons.
Every person who follows one of your programs takes a coaching seat. The business grows the way a coaching roster grows.
Four reasons coaches choose Trybe over Trainerize
1. Personalized training that runs without you
A short quiz puts each member on the right program, they swap exercises to their level using the progressions you set, and streaks and progress tracking keep them engaged. None of it needs your input, so ten thousand members take no more of your time than ten.
Trainerize is built around a coach assigning programs to each client, so more clients means more of your time.
2. Your brand, not a personal training app
Your space carries your brand: your colors, your layout and your content, front and center. When you're established, grow into your own white-label app in the App Store and Google Play at no additional charge.
On Trainerize, clients download the ABC Trainerize app, a general personal training app, and your own App Store listing means moving up to a Studio plan.

Organize your programs, workouts and videos into Netflix-style rows. Members filter to find exactly what they want, and discover more of your catalog as it grows.
On Trainerize, clients work through the programs you assign them.

Questions coaches ask about switching.
Can I sell subscriptions and one-time programs?
Yes. Sell monthly, six-month, yearly and lifetime plans alongside one-time programs and challenges.
Does Trybe do 1:1 coaching?
No. Trybe is for self-guided programs, memberships and one-time products that people follow without live coaching. If your business is 1:1 coaching, Trybe can be layered in as a low-ticket offer for the people in your audience who aren't a fit for 1:1, and serve as a funnel to your high-ticket offer.
Do my members download a separate app?
They download the Trybe app and land in your space. Established coaches can apply for their own app in the App Store and Google Play.
Can I move my clients from Trainerize?
Yes, for clients who follow programs on their own. Keep your 1:1 clients where they are, and we'll help you plan the move for everyone else.
Who handles billing and support?
We do. Payments go to your Stripe account, and our team handles member billing questions and support.
Do I need to apply?
Yes. Trybe is by application today. It takes two minutes: tell us about your audience, your content and how you sell today. We read every application and reply either way.
What does it cost?
Free to start. We take 20% of revenue when you earn, before payment processing. No monthly fee and no setup cost.
Is Trybe a marketplace?
No. Every coach gets a private, branded space. Your members see only you.
Your whole audience, not just the few who book 1:1.
