What the pricing really means
At first glance, ABC Trainerize looks cheaper at $0/month vs $0/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.

Who is each product built for?
PushPress
Target: 1-5 locations
PushPress is the best option for new and small gym owners because of the free tier and simple scaling. Community love shows in review scores. Processing fees on free plan are a hidden cost. Ideal for CrossFit boxes with 50-500 members.
ABC Trainerize
Target: 1-10 trainers
Trainerize is the go-to platform for personal trainers who coach clients remotely or in a hybrid model. The AI workout builder and automated program delivery save real time. It is not a full gym management system though. If you need class scheduling, front desk check-in, or POS, look at Mindbody or PushPress. For pure 1-on-1 and small group coaching, Trainerize is hard to beat.
