A Better Alternative to Trainerize
Trainerize is built around workout delivery — exercise libraries, habit tracking, and in-app messaging. Nextro is built around the thing that actually pays your bills: getting sessions booked and paid upfront.
Nextro is personal trainer booking software built for the UK — clients book and pay upfront, so you never have to chase.
Why coaches switch from Trainerize to Nextro
Trainerize pricing scales with your client count — around £28/month for 5 clients, rising to £56/month or more as your roster grows. Nextro is a flat £9.99/month regardless of how many clients you have.
If you charge £50 per session and train 15 clients a week, the difference between a per-client platform fee and Nextro's flat rate adds up to hundreds of pounds a year — money that stays in your pocket.
Trainerize is built around features like exercise libraries and habit trackers. If you primarily book sessions and collect payment, you're paying for a large platform to do a small job.
Nextro's credit pack system lets clients pre-purchase session bundles — a standard PT model that Trainerize doesn't natively support. Clients pay upfront, no-shows drop, and your income becomes predictable.
Nextro's automatic scheduling keeps your booking page populated — set your availability once and it rolls forward up to 12 weeks ahead. No manual slot management, no empty future calendar.
