Traneos

Overview

Traneos is fitness-coach software that brings client management and routine coaching work into one service. It is best suited to independent trainers who want a place to track client progress and keep follow-ups from slipping. Its free tier makes a small roster easy to start, while client and trainer caps make plan choice important as a practice grows.

Key features

The Daily Brief sorts clients by issues such as overdue payments, inactivity, and plans nearing expiration, then suggests next actions. For a coach juggling follow-ups, that creates a practical priority list; it is a prompt for action, not a substitute for deciding what each client needs.

Client profiles can bring together goals, body metrics, progress photos, payments, schedules, and diet information. Workout scheduling, diet-plan creation, and check-in forms cover recurring coaching tasks, while the client portal avoids requiring clients to install an app. Together, these tools make Traneos a stronger fit for coaches who want client administration and coaching materials in the same workflow than for those seeking only a workout planner.

Automated reminders cover plan expirations, payments, and check-ins through email and WhatsApp. WhatsApp messages require each client’s opt-in. Starter’s 100-message monthly allowance may suit occasional reminders, but coaches who depend on frequent messaging will likely need Basic or above, where WhatsApp is unlimited and bulk broadcasts are included.

Pro and Studio add AI-assisted writing and check-in recaps, along with AI body-metrics scanning and diet estimation. Client-specific AI messages stay as drafts until the trainer sends them, keeping the coach in control of what reaches a client. Spreadsheet import includes a review of rows to be imported or skipped, a useful check when moving existing records.

Traneos says client data is controlled by the coaching business and processed on its behalf, and that it is not sent to advertising networks. Its stated safeguards include encryption in transit and at rest, hashed passwords, role-based access controls, and signed file URLs. It says users can export client, payment, log, and photo data, and that it does not store full card numbers. General support aims for a reply within one business day on weekdays in IST; billing or refund reviews aim for three business days.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, with a five-client cap, basic client and progress tracking, in-app reminders, and a 14-day Pro trial. That is a useful starting point for a solo coach testing a small roster, but it lacks the paid tiers’ automated follow-ups and WhatsApp allowance.

Starter costs $6.99 a month and raises the cap to 15 clients, allows 30 open leads, adds automated follow-ups, and includes 100 WhatsApp messages a month. It is the lowest-cost paid option for a small practice, though the client and messaging ceilings may be restrictive. Basic costs $14.99 a month, allows 50 clients, and adds unlimited WhatsApp and bulk broadcasts on top of Starter. It suits a coach whose roster or message volume has outgrown Starter.

Pro costs $24.99 a month and removes the client cap, includes the trainer plus up to five trainers, an analytics dashboard, and AI body-metrics scanning and diet estimation. It is the clearest step up for a larger roster or a small team, but costs more than Basic and is the entry point for AI tools. Studio costs $49.99 a month, includes unlimited clients and the trainer plus up to 15 trainers, and carries everything in Pro. Boutique studios with a larger team are its natural audience; smaller teams may not need its higher seat allowance.

The free plan includes a 14-day Pro trial. Traneos uses Razorpay for subscription billing; full card numbers are not stored by Traneos.

Platforms

Traneos is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The client portal works without an app installation, which is useful when clients prefer browser access.

Who it's for

Independent fitness coaches who need client records, scheduling, progress tracking, payment follow-ups, and client access in one place are the strongest fit. Small studios can consider Studio when they need room for up to 15 trainers. Coaches with more than 50 clients who want to stay below Pro’s price will need to weigh the cost of unlimited clients against the smaller tiers’ caps.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The Daily Brief turns overdue payments, inactivity, and expiring plans into a prioritized follow-up queue.
• Pros: The client portal works without an app install, and spreadsheet import lets coaches review rows before bringing records over.
• Pros: Pro offers unlimited clients and up to five trainers at $24.99 a month, with a larger 15-trainer allowance on Studio.
• Cons: Free, Starter, and Basic cap clients at 5, 15, and 50 respectively, so expanding beyond those limits means moving up a tier.
• Cons: Starter’s 100 WhatsApp messages per month can constrain coaches who use messaging heavily; unlimited messaging starts at Basic.
• Cons: AI tools begin at Pro, making them unavailable to coaches who stay on the lower-cost plans.

Alternatives

Coaching Software is the broader category for comparing options. Choose My PT Hub if you want another freemium option with a free trial; its Starter plan is $22.50 a month billed annual paid monthly and is capped at three clients. ABC Trainerize is worth comparing if you want a free plan on Android or iOS; its Basic plan includes one coaching client, so it is a narrower free starting point than Traneos’s five-client tier.

FitSW is an alternative for trainers seeking fitness program creation and automation with client exercise progress tracking; its Premium for Trainers plan is $16.66 a month, with a selectable client limit from 5 to 1000. Everfit offers a forever-free Starter plan for up to five clients, making it a direct alternative for a coach who wants a similar-sized free roster.

TrainHeroic is another option for readers comparing paid training software. PT Distinction may suit coaches who prefer a paid plan with three clients included at $19.90 a month, with extra clients free for one month and then $6 a month each. Quenza is a paid alternative with a Spark plan at $20 a month, including 10 clients and one professional. upcoach is another paid option to compare.

Verdict

Traneos is a sensible choice for independent coaches who want client records, progress, reminders, and coaching tools together, especially if its five-client free tier or the low-cost Starter plan matches their current roster. The Daily Brief and browser-based client portal give it practical strengths beyond simple record-keeping. Look elsewhere if your practice will quickly exceed the lower tiers’ caps, or if you need AI tools without moving to Pro.
