Trainerize vs My PT Hub vs CoachDesk: Which Is Right for You?
Quick answer: CoachDesk wins for most self-employed UK PTs — £19/month flat, billed in pounds, everything behind one login. My PT Hub wins if you coach 100+ clients online — unlimited clients from about £49/month. Trainerize wins for the deepest workout programming, but it bills per client in dollars, and a 50-client coach pays $150–$200/month. Pick by your roster size and where you train. Here's the full breakdown.
All three are good tools. They're built for different trainers. Let's find yours.

Price (the honest version)
- CoachDesk: £19 or £29/month, flat. No per-client charge. 14-day free trial, no card.
- My PT Hub: about £20 (Standard) or £49 (Premium). Premium = unlimited clients. White-label app costs extra.
- Trainerize: from $10/month, but per client and in dollars. With nutrition, payments and branding switched on, a 50-client coach often pays $150–$200/month.
Winner on price for a UK solo PT: CoachDesk — £19 flat, no add-on surprises.
Features
All three give you the core kit: client management, workout building, messaging and a client app or portal. The differences:
- Trainerize has the biggest exercise library, wearable sync, and a native App Store app. It's the most capable — and the most menus to learn.
- My PT Hub has thousands of ready-made workout and nutrition plans and unlimited clients — useful when you're running an 8-week group programme for 40 people at once.
- CoachDesk puts an AI workout generator, nutrition and habit tracking, invoicing and a client portal on the £19–£29 flat plan. It's the fewest steps to run your actual day.
Honest gaps in CoachDesk: no native App Store app yet (it runs as a web app you add to your home screen), and no white-label branding. If those are deal-breakers, Trainerize or My PT Hub's paid branding wins.
Who each one is for
- Choose Trainerize if: you're an online coach who lives in the programming, wants every advanced feature, and isn't put off by dollar, per-client pricing.
- Choose My PT Hub if: you run a big roster, want unlimited clients on a flat fee, and you'll use that giant template library.
- Choose CoachDesk if: you're a self-employed UK PT who wants one tool, in pounds, that handles clients, workouts, invoicing and an AI builder — without stitching together add-ons.
