March 25, 2026 5.0 So far excellent, will continue to use this platform for a long time going forward. Looking forward to getting more clients to upgrade my plan to see what other features are available. Pros The personalization is my favorite part. Being able to customize the website, and app is awesome. Plans are easy to set up. Pre loaded meal plans, exercises, and routines help drastically. Really gave me the confidence to launch my own online fitness business. A++ Cons Only thing is it doesn't sync to Google fit. Apple and Fitbit a plus but Google fit would edge it out. Review Source Response from FitBudd March 27, 2026 Thank you so much for the kind words. We are really glad the customization and setup helped you launch your business with confidence. We have noted your feedback on Google Fit and it is definitely something we are looking into. Excited to support your growth ahead. NR Nicholas R. Partner Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very happy with fitbudd" February 24, 2026 5.0 Pros Prompt customer service and easy to use interface. Great success with client engagement and very minimal sleek app design. Cons Wish the coaching app would have more features for creating workouts and editing the all rather than going into browser. Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) I didnt like the user interface. Nor customer support. Review Source Response from FitBudd March 27, 2026 Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you had a positive experience with our customer service and found the platform easy to use. We also appreciate your suggestions around workout creation within the app and are continuously working to enhance the in-app experience. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. GY Gale Y. GM Consumer Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Not business-friendly" July 9, 2025 1.0 Rigid Billing & Slow Support — Not Built for Real Businesses We were testing Fitbudd for potential rollout—but hit a technical issue early on. For nearly a full week, basic features weren’t working due to a bug on their end. That wasted valuable testing time. Once the bug was finally addressed, I asked if we could extend the trial or get a refund so we could properly evaluate the platform. Their response? “Billing is non-refundable.” No flexibility. No grace. Just copy-pasted policy. What made it worse was the slow overseas support—every reply took 24–48 hours. Even simple conversations stretched over days. That kind of support pace is unacceptable for any real business trying to make timely decisions. Despite it being clear that we were testing, and despite the platform not functioning correctly for a chunk of the trial, Fitbudd still processed a charge—and refused any consideration for a refund. This experience shows a complete lack of customer-first thinking. If you're a business that values responsiveness, transparency, or fairness—look elsewhere. You won't find it here. I'm sharing this to help others avoid the same mistake.Long delays in answers and support! Pros It was easy to sign up and get the trial activated, but that is the extent. They could be so much more with better focus on the customer. Cons Have to contact to cancel. Illegal! Not business-friendly. We tried Fitbudd but lost a week because level 1 support couldn’t explain why a key feature wasn’t available during the trial. Support was slow due to overseas delays, and when we asked for a refund or more test time, they flatly refused. Rigid billing, poor customer-first thinking. Not recommended for serious businesses. Review Source Response from FitBudd July 14, 2025 We’re sorry to hear about your experience. While we always strive to support our customers to the best of our ability, we do have clear refund and service policies in place, which we communicated transparently. Unfortunately, in this case, we could not accommodate unrealistic demands that went beyond what was agreed. We’re still happy to assist if there’s a constructive way forward. CP Coach P. Owner, Personal Trainer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GROW YOUR BRAND!" December 4, 2025 5.0 I've had other business owners use the contact options with FitBudd to reach out to me. I've had nothing but the best experience and business growth! Pros I've been with FitBudd from its beginning. I switched from two other apps that did not have a website option, poor customer service, and limited client support. Cons No client prompts to complete their profile. We have to reach out to the client to remind them most of the time. Switched from [Vagaro](https://www.capterra.com/p/153752/Vagaro/) Functionality, client engagement, and features Review Source Response from FitBudd December 31, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience!

They did a great job of showing me how to use everything now it’s just getting it up and running. Pros The process of getting started has been easy so far. Like all the features. I just started though so I will update as time goes on. Cons Too soon to tell. However, looking forward to learning and coming back to give a more thorough review. Switched from [Bodi](https://www.capterra.com/p/165206/Bodi/) Seems like the better platform to use from the call.

All of the customer service reps are very thorough and help through any questions you may have. Pros Ease of use and customer service is impeccable. The layout of the app and website integration. The ability to customization of both app and web. Cons There’s quite a bit to learn still, although creating new exercises and cardio I feel like it should be a little easier.

And it's easy to add forms and questionnaires. Pros The website portion and tracking leads, the easy to use and navigate UI both for trainers and clients Cons There's not much I don't like about the platform, I do person prefer live video demonstrations. But that it more if a nitpick, the overall experience is actually pretty good. Review Source Response from FitBudd March 27, 2026 Thank you for sharing your experience.

Pros The client and customer support is great. The support is also very friendly and great nutritional information is beneficial for the clients!

Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for business " April 8, 2025 5.0 Happy… It’s nice to have the help from the message centre. They fix things fast Pros User friendly, attractive interface, so many exercises in the exercise library so you can really get creative. Meal plans are easy to put together. My clients love the app! Cons I’m in South Africa so it is extremely expensive for us. I feel like they should have payment plans based on your currency. It takes 8 of my clients payments just to pay for my app monthly, it’s crazy !! Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Reason for choosing FitBudd A friend said it was better but she has now left Fitbudd due to it becoming unaffordable in South Africa and she swapped to Fitify. I’m looking at doing the same as it’s exactly half the price of Fitbudd and it’s as good Switched from [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) A friend said it was better priced but it’s actually as expensive.

Weight loss coach and personal trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Just fantastic. Fitbudd you truly rock! " March 9, 2025 5.0 Excellent! I’d highly recommend to anyone. Pros The care and support from the team. I have asked a lot of questions since coming onboard and you continue to support me and answer them all. The actual app and system. It’s Fantastic! I researched for 4 months and downloaded Everfit, Trainerize, TrueCoach, PT Distinction, Nudge Coach, Coach AI. I also considered Macro Active and Lenus ALL before committing to Fitbudd. They all lacked something or had a lack of personalisation. Bharti was just brilliant on our initial call and so helpful. Cons The extra charge to add a ‘Schedule a call’ tab. So frustrating as it’s available through the app but you make us pay $50 to add a tab. Just doesn’t stack up. Come on FitBudd!! Also some AI support for workout and meal plan building is a basic now. Needs to be in the pipeline.

Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy, simple and seamless " May 26, 2025 5.0 Pros What I love most about Fitbudd is that adding in exercises and programs for clients is pretty seamless and simple. It is also great for setting up specific plans as well in a schedule. Cons What I like least is that clients can't shift the schedule and that there is no real meal guidance/ recipes based on macros that I have seen on other platforms. Alternatives considered [TrueCoach](https://www.capterra.com/p/155784/truecoach/) Reason for choosing FitBudd At the time of the switch, fitbudd had better features and was more seamless for my clients Review Source Response from FitBudd May 29, 2025 Thanks for the great feedback!

The support is great but I dont think they understand more of the trainer mindset more Pros Its able to utilize hybrid coaching for both in person and out Cons theres still a lot of things missing for the coach and its not as user friendly for the client and the coaching app is not very user friendly when I am trying out, its only good for when I am at my computer Alternatives considered [ABC Trainerize](https://www.capterra.com/p/140262/Trainerize/) Reason for choosing FitBudd I need it to do more than glowfox and not break the bank I need it all in one Review Source Response from FitBudd April 7, 2025 Thanks for your honest feedback.

Anytime I have an issue there is a timely response and solution from a live representative. Pros The ease of navigating the program. Great support. Cons Not being able to navigate through a clients profile without saving the workout i'm currently working on. The constant upgraded version message.

I love how the app looks to my clients and how i can truly control every aspect of the clients plan. Pros the client support is amazing and they are great at making changes and updates to their hard system. The app is incredibly customizable and makes supporting and communicating with my clients and making changes to their programs so much easier. I love that i can adjust nutrition without uploading a new pdf. Cons i wish i had more ability to edit from the coaching app. generally, if there is something that i don't like or would like changed, they say they will send it up the ladder and they really do. I can't think of anything ive asked for that hasn't been added at some point. Review Source Response from FitBudd September 11, 2025 Thanks for the wonderful feedback!

Lifestyle Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I love this app !" August 9, 2025 5.0 Overall, I really love the app, and it’s working great for my training and coaching stuff. It makes managing clients and organizing everything way easier. Super easy to use, and it’s been a big help in keeping things smooth. I’m really happy with how it fits into my workflow! Pros I love how this app meets all my coaching needs! It's simple, easy to use, and the customer service team responds quickly to any questions I have. I appreciate how customizable the app is, allowing me to make it truly my own. My clients love it as well, which is the most important part! Thank you for providing such a great app! Cons Sometimes I need to refresh the page if it's lagging, but that might be due to internet connection issues. Aside from that, I love everything about the app! One feature I would love to see added is a way to automate happy birthday messages to my clients. It would also be great to have options for group challenges and the ability to send group messages to my team Review Source Response from FitBudd August 11, 2025 Thanks so much for the lovely feedback! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear FitBudd is making a difference for you and your clients.

Online fitness coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall and excellent experience" May 21, 2025 5.0 Overall experience is excellent. Very easy to use, very responsive with their live chat team and the way you manage clients on the app is very very smooth. It's great how it gives breakdowns on your earning so it's always clear to see what is coming in and when. Pros I love the customisation of the app and how it really feels like it's your own. It's very easy to use, very professional and makes all my work so streamlines I'm able to take on more clients and still provide and excellent service. It comes across as very professional when signing clients up to my own branded app. Cons I guess I'm not a fan of the way it runs on the schedule Mon-Sun, so if someone signs up and wants to start midweek, their schedule runs from that date, so when writing their plan you have to bare in mind that their 'day 1' may actually be a Wednesday for example. Review Source Response from FitBudd May 23, 2025 Thanks a ton for the amazing feedback! We're so glad the app feels truly yours and helps you manage more clients smoothly. JK Jae K.

August 16, 2025 5.0 I enjoy Fitbudd and I have still not even utilized the full functionality of the app because it is so customizable. I recently attended a webinar that they host regularly and I was inspired to be more proactive in getting the most out of the app. Pros Fitbudd has excellent customer support and they even recently implemented AI into the app that I suggested last year. I prefer Fitbudd over the other client training app on the market. Clients are always impressed when they use my app. Cons I wish I could see and do more from the coaching app but I can review check-ins and message my clients so those are the most important things.

Setting up workouts and meal plans are very seamless. Quick client support when assistants is needed.
