TrainStead vs CoachRx
CoachRx prices by client tiers. TrainStead prices per trainer.
CoachRx brings a strong methodology bent, with its prescriptive approach to program design and a coaching workflow that trainers doing both 1-on-1 and group work, gym owners included, find genuinely thoughtful. Like most coaching software, though, its plans are tiered by how many clients you're training, so adding clients pushes you toward a higher tier, whether or not you've grown your team.
TrainStead runs the other way. Every plan includes unlimited clients, and you pay per trainer. Your software cost tracks your team, not how full your books are.
Here's the honest breakdown:
Pricing model
CoachRx: priced in client-count tiers, so costs climb as your roster grows. TrainStead: priced per trainer, unlimited clients on every plan. (Compare current prices for your numbers, but the models don't change.) See exactly what you'd pay on our pricing page.
Who it's built for
CoachRx serves coaches who follow a defined methodology, from 1-on-1 to group and gym settings. TrainStead is built specifically for the in-person studio you run: scheduling, programming, client tracking, messaging, and studio-level analytics in one place, made by a trainer.
When to pick which
If CoachRx's methodology is the draw and your client list is small and steady, it can be a fine fit. If you run an in-person studio, add clients often, or plan to bring on another trainer, climbing client tiers become a tax on growth, and per-trainer pricing wins the moment you scale.
