Opiniones de PT Distinction

PTDistinction is the Only Online Coaching Tool You'll Need

Puntos a favor:

The ability to create and customize entire program for client, while being able to simply track habits and behaviours. Integration of video/PDF/text files, etc are incredibly simple

Puntos en contra:

Lack of Mobile App customization tailoring of the program - Web access is required

Top app for personal trainers

Comentarios: Great experience and top class customer support.

Puntos a favor:

That it does everything I want and is highly customisable..

Puntos en contra:

Would like the ability to swap exercises/ offer alternative exercises during an active workout in case equipment isn’t available.

PT app review

Puntos a favor:

The software is easy to use and easy to manage. I can easily put in workouts and manage my clients

Puntos en contra:

The app doesn’t allow me to se my clients workouts. I have to log in the desk stop site to see their workouts. So if they have questions. I have to pull up their account and find the date. Plus editing workouts can be a hassle. Once you stack workouts. It takes to long to find the right one and edit it

Buyer Beware - There are better options out there

Comentarios: PTD was the first software/app I used with my coaching business and it was just that - fine for a beginner. However, now that my team has grown and the number of clients we serve has grown, it's time to step up my game. PTD is lacking on so many fronts. Yes, PTD offers many great features, but if those features aren't reliably working in the app, then what's the point of having them? I've sent countless emails to PTD's support, none of which are taken seriously. The app looks like it was dated back to the first iPhone, and is SO SLOW. The messenger within the app doesn't automatically refresh and constantly freezes or takes minutes to load. PTD has alot of potential, but until the owners/developers start listening to their customers and improving the functionality of the app, they will lose customers. There are MUCH better options out there at similar price points that far exceed the performance of PTD.

Puntos a favor:

PTD has plenty of solid features. The scheduled messaging function is great, the nutrition and habit coaching is good, the ability to separate and store content like videos, PDFs, etc into groups is nice.

Puntos en contra:

The UI of the app is pretty bad for clients. I've had countless clients complain to me that the app is slow, or continues to freeze, or randomly crashes. Push notifications are spotty at best, even with all settings turned on in appropriate places. I've reached out to PTD's support numerous times and they always blame the client's phone. Customer support itself is lacking with this company.

Gold.

Comentarios: PT Distinction gives me structure. This is not so overwhelming having them on your team. They bring so much value to the value I want to bring - so it's like, mega value for my clients.

Puntos a favor:

I love the visuals the app can provide my clients. They can see their progress, workout history, etc. I also love the communication piece - how I can connect with my clients is pretty awesome. They can upload technique videos and get my feedback. One more thing, I like a lot of things about this - they set you up! It's efficient. The tools are incredible.

Puntos en contra:

Oh man -- hmm. Really, I think it's just that I have to upload some workouts that aren't on there. That's me being lazy though. Maybe how my app doesn't actually show on Apple - that bothers me. I wish it would show up on app and be my icon from the jump.

doing great

Comentarios: love it cant wait to see what changes you make in the furfur

Puntos a favor:

the stream line of it all has been great to use and the courses around this platform are great.

Puntos en contra:

would be good if like trainer eyes our clients can make their own programs that would help a lot. then there can add to their already going program not some much as take away exercise but to add them or change to an easier one also being able to change background color of the app would be cool

How I created my online business with PTD

Comentarios: PTD has allowed me to fully go online with my personal so training business. It has helped me retain the quality of service that my clients expect and help my clients achieve amazing results. It has honestly changed my life.

Puntos a favor:

The customised mobile app really made an impact on my brand. It made my online business look more professional and high end. The automated features are really useful and it’s a fantastic tool to scale my online personal training business.

Puntos en contra:

It is a shame that not all the features are available on the mobile app, clients did find this a little bit of a barrier. The payment set up seems a bit complicated and it takes time to understand all the features.

Time saver!

Puntos a favor:

Easy to use and track client progress. Highly recommend.

Puntos en contra:

Payment integration with stripe would be great and custom forms to make it a one-stop shop

Great product for your personal training business

Comentarios: My overall experience with this software is that I am satisfied with what PT Distinctions provide me as a small and independent business owner and personal trainer to help me manage my clients programs effectively and effectively.

Puntos a favor:

I like that it had many easy to use options to build a client program.

Puntos en contra:

That it doesn’t give you notifications on when or if your app for the AppStore is completed

Review

Comentarios: my short time on PT Distinction has been a learning curve but excited for all the possibilities in the future!

Puntos a favor:

Product is easy to use, simple and strait forward!

Puntos en contra:

The software can perform many task its overwhelming.

Excellent software for online training, best out there

Comentarios: No problems at all, whenever I've had a question the response was fast

Puntos a favor:

I believe this is the best software available today for online personal training (but not for live, in-person training, so if you need that look at PT Enhance or My PT Hub). Includes your own branded app that lets clients do their assigned workouts and lets the trainer view video of clients performing movements, which to me was a must-have feature (there are only 1-2 other software providers that currently have this, and their feature sets are not as good as PTD). PTD also lets all of your clients use the software for free for the first 30 days, a must if you are going to run online challenges. PTD even has tons of free resources about how to be successful as an online trainer. To me they are a no-brainer.

Puntos en contra:

They do not integrate the trainer's calendar with Google calendar, Apple etc which makes it not great for in-person training (but they don't market this software for that anyway, they market it as being great for online training. So I'm not sure if it's fair to call that a Con.) Also as of this writing the Android app is not fully functional compared to the Apple app, which means my clients with Android phones are often better off using the web browser on their phone rather than the app. Other than that I can't think of any negatives, love this software.

Completely Re-Shaped My Life

Comentarios: I was planning on setting up with PT Distinction a long time ago, but never got round to it. Then the CoVID19 pandemic forced my hand, and I can honestly say - it's the greatest business decision I've ever made.
Not only has it allowed my clients to actually thrive during the lockdown, and allowed me to support them mentally and physically throughout - it's given me a balance in my life that I never thought possible with the number of clients I have. Completely life changing.

Puntos a favor:

The ability to educate and empower my athletes, along side programming. It's not just about giving the clients exercises, but being able to actively COACH them throughout the whole process is a game changer.

Puntos en contra:

I would like a little more versatility when it comes to personalising the coaching points for individual exercises. Each exercise has coaching points in text format and video formatting - which is brilliant. But having a section on the prescription of each movement (the same place you have the sets, reps, load, time etc.) where you can personalise and prescribe the unique execution for that individual. For example - "focus more on biasing weight distribution through your heels" during the squat - would be an absolute game changer for me.

The Best Personal Training Software

Comentarios: Overall, PTDistinction is a fantastic platform. I won't name names, but before I found PTDistinction, I tried out 4 other (well-known) platforms and none of the others come close as far as features and ease of use. I spend half the time doing the same work as on any of the platforms and PT Distinction has many more features.

Puntos a favor:

PTDistinction pros? Where do I start? Ease of use: Absolutely. I love that features are easy to find and simple to use. I can tab through fields and add things quickly. I can set out whole programs and launch them for clients easily. Lots of features: I have found that there is almost no limit to the types of things that I can add for clients. Any type of habit tracking, template, coaching resources, assessments and on. And unlike some other platforms I tried, more features does not make this platform any less streamlined. Tons of exercises. And if there is an exercise not already in the database, it's incredibly easy to add. I also used to use a second platform for nutrition coaching, but I can do everything in PTDistinction now.

Puntos en contra:

The only things that I could want for is messaging notifications and app availability. I would prefer if the app would give notifications when my clients message me. However, without having an app available for the coaches side this isn't available. The app be valuable for when I need to use the platform on the go from my phone. I often pull up a client's workouts during in person sessions and I currently have to do that from the web browser, which is less than ideal.

The software that makes life easy

Comentarios: PT Distinction helped me to get off the ground with my online coaching business! But PT Distinction also helped me to scale and level up my business. I'm absolutely confident that I'm giving my clients an awesome experience thanks to my custom branded app and how I have the opportunity to deliver my programs.

Puntos a favor:

As a personal trainer and health coach, this is the software to use. I'm nothing but happy and satisfied. It's easy to use, I can easily set-up everything I need and want to give to my clients. To offer my clients my own branded app is also another amazing feature. I also love their 5-star quick and efficient customer care service.

Puntos en contra:

I'm looking forward to have a female in the exercise library. Other than that, I don't have any cons actually.

The most comprehensive fitness software you will find.

Puntos a favor:

I love that I can do anything I need/want to do for my business. I can design programs in minutes. I can make changes that update across multiple clients at once. I can customize exercises, forms, assessments in addition to adding pdfs and tutorials. I have been able to customize a nearly year-long habit-based nutrition program that offers daily lessons and bi-weekly habits.

Puntos en contra:

The only con is there is a bit of a learning curve with the software. Once you spend some time with it, I find it user-friendly but this can be overwhelming in the beginning.

Fast. Reliable and really cool!

Comentarios: To be able to create memberships has been such a great feature for me! I’ve always wanted to learn more about this. PTD has everything in one space. Allowing me to have everything in one space has been freeing up so much time and decreasing the stress around building my online business.

Puntos a favor:

I love that it is so easy to use. Helping me save time and overthinking. The PTD University is such a great feature and helped me get setup in no time!

Puntos en contra:

I would love to have a app for the trainer. This way I can get instant notifications from clients and track their efforts.

The most valuable tool for my business

Comentarios: This has been the biggest asset to my business. Just when It think I am using all the features I discover another way to utilize it.

Puntos a favor:

The amount of automation you can apply to certain tasks allows me to scale my business. The custom app

Puntos en contra:

I can honestly say there isn't anything I don't like. The only issues I have encountered are asked by my lack of taking the time to learn how I can utilize certain features. There resources are there it just took me some time to fully utilize them to optimize my use of the system.

Probably the best on the market right now

Puntos a favor:

I've only used one other software to coach my online clients and this one beats it by a mile. You can add your own demo videos if you like or use the ones they have in their extensive library. You can easily copy/paste templates onto old and new clients. You can easily assign documents and videos to watch for your client. This is a highly versatile piece of software and I'm glad I picked this following a poor experience using another software. I'm probably not utilising the features to their full extent. Sort of like having a powerful iPhone in your hand and only using Instagram for it.

Puntos en contra:

If like me you tend to use lesser known exercises, many of those won't appear in the library so you'll either have to find someone else's video on Youtube to use or make your own (both can be time consuming). I also found the auto-message feature difficult to use. I'm not super technical but I feel I shouldn't have to dig too far to understand how the software works.

Guaranteed to save you time and improve your client experience

Comentarios: This has helped me establish a group program that will run automatically for each future intake, saving me so much time whilst being able to increase my revenue without extra work. This creates more time to spend on marketing, drawing more clients to your service and improving service to current clients.

Puntos a favor:

Setting up the habit coaching has been so valuable for client experience and accountability, saving much more time for coaching and client care

Puntos en contra:

It can seem a little overwhelming to start with as there are so many features and you do so much with it. There are tonnes of training videos included so if you set some time aside at the start it will save you so much time going forward.

Cutting Edge Coaching Software

Comentarios: I switched over from MyPTHub because I was having a horrible experience with them. PT Distinction has literally restored my faith in coaching software and I see myself using this platform for many years to come.

Puntos a favor:

I like how functional it is and how user-friendly the interface is. As a coach, it allows for seamless program delivery and the technique comparison section is a great USP for cleints, especially in the current climate. I'm loving the software so far and can't wait to see how it looks in the near future.

Puntos en contra:

I think a Stripe integration would be fantastic. It would make sales easier for group packages or challenges. Sometimes check-ins duplicate also, but this is not a major issue and can be overlooked quite easily.

Super helpful app for programming & coaching clients!

Comentarios: Overall, so much time-saving because I can create and use templates. I love that the exercises all have videos, and I can upload and/or link to videos for unique exercises - it's a real plus for my online clients to have the videos to refer to!
This app has allowed me to really grow and flourish in my online training capacity.

Puntos a favor:

I love that I can create my own workout programming and 'template' them - so I am not re-creating the wheel each time. I also appreciate the new Dashboard feature, which allows me to see at a glance all my client activity. And I really love that I have been able to brand this app with my logo, etc - so when my clients use it, it is like they are using my OWN personal training app - so fabulous!

Puntos en contra:

I have had some trouble with exercises disappearing in my templates. I cycle through 10-12 templates and when I go in to review them before assigning to clients/groups - I have often found whole sections and/or exercises to be gone....like they dropped out of the template somehow. This is very frustrating because I then have to go back in and re-program that template...which takes any 'time-saving' feature completely out of the picture! That is my biggest frustration at this point - it should be that the templates are saved completely and not mysteriously deleting exercises.

PT Distinction Review

Comentarios: PT distinction has provided me with a platform to fully move my business online. This has given me so much freedom to be anywhere in the world and still give my clients and amazing service.

Puntos a favor:

Creating programs for our clients is super easy to do. We have been able to upload all our own video demos and coaching content. We have had great feedback from clients worldwide on how easy it is to use and how they love that they can use it at anytime anywhere.

Puntos en contra:

Downfall is when using the app, sometimes it lags or videos take long to load. Also, one is unable to use the app without the internet. Lastly, the app is very limited to how much you can customize it to suit your own business branding.

Hands Down The Best Software For Online PT

Comentarios: I chose PT Distinction having tried all of the top softwares for online trainers. I had heard great things about PTD as trainers recommend them in Facebook groups I'm a pert of almost every day. I was quite excited when joining that it would be the best one. As I looked around I thought this is good, as I looked some more I thought this is great and with every hour I spent on the software I realised it was truly incredible. Some other softwares are good but PT Distinction is far more than just a software, it gives you everything you need to have a successful online training business. You can create any systems you like such as 7 day challenges, membership sites, free trials, flagship programs, 1-1 bespoke online training and more. You can coach your clients nutrition by video which adds that extra touch. I used to use meal plans for nutrition and clients didn't stick around long. Tim (the guy that runs PTD) suggested I try setting nutrition habits and added some video coaching, now my clients stay with me long term. That's another thing that makes PTD stand out, they know how to create online training businesses and they teach you everything you need to know and show you how to do it. If you join up and listen to what they have to tell you, you will do well, no doubt about it.... I started with 1 online client and now have 27 and getting new ones every week.

Puntos a favor:

Amazing software. Help you get clients, grow and deliver a brilliant service.

Puntos en contra:

None

Fantastic all in one coaching app for Personal Trainers

Comentarios: I use this product daily for an ongoing group of personal training clients and couldn't be happier with its usability. It's a simple to use, but incredibly powerful, system that my clients love. It has a huge variety of exercises to construct workouts from and an intuitive "groups" builder that allows you to use the platform for any style of coaching, whether that be for nutrition, habits or simply programming fitness work outs. if you don't have a website it provides you with a simple start up one and comes with it's own in-built university learning feature to make sure you get the most out of it for your business. The support group is phenomenal and fast to help or suggest new ways to make your business thrive and no question is left unanswered. The app can even be personalised with you company colours and logo or can be set up from scratch, for a fee, by the PTD team if you don't have the time or inclination to do it yourself. A fantastic product all round.

Puntos a favor:

Everything - see overall experience below...

Puntos en contra:

If there are any they are usually solved asap as the product is constantly being updated with new suggestions from PT's taken on board swiftly also

Great Features and Easy to use

Comentarios: Really good, they have listened to feedback and updates the android app, they are helpful and the pricing is on point for what it offers.

Puntos a favor:

The ability and ease of putting programmes together and the ability to put clients into groups so programmes go to multiple clients of same ability. It is easy to use and the app is great both for clients (even technophobes) and trainers.

Puntos en contra:

It took a long time to move everyone over from our last app and build the programmes. But once up and running it’s great.
