PushPress alternative
PushPress runs a gym. TrainStead runs a training studio.
PushPress is strong software for what it's designed for: membership gyms and boxes. Front-desk check-ins, membership billing, class sign-ups, the machinery of a room full of members coming and going. If that's your business, it's a capable tool.
A personal training studio is a different animal, and TrainStead is built for it. Your work isn't check-ins and memberships, it's programming, tracking real client progress, and running sessions. TrainStead puts scheduling, client programming, progress tracking, messaging, and studio analytics in one place, priced per trainer with unlimited clients.
What you get with TrainStead
The trainer's toolkit, not the gym's front desk. Build and assign programs, track each client's progress and nutrition and cardio, message them in the app, and see at a studio level who's drifting before they quit.
Who should still use PushPress
Membership gyms, CrossFit boxes, and class-based facilities that live on check-ins and membership billing. If your business is memberships, use gym software. If your business is training people, use training software.
