WeStrive

Overview

WeStrive is a coaching-business platform for personal trainers and gyms who want to manage training, nutrition, client progress and billing together. It is strongest for coaches with a small roster who can work within client-count pricing; the free plan makes it possible to start with one active client before committing to a paid tier.

Key features

The program builder supports timed circuits, AMRAP and Tabata workouts alongside habits, surveys and daily tasks. Its library of more than 1,500 exercise videos gives coaches a broad set of material for building programs. Nutrition planning adds a database of over one million foods and 10,000 recipes, making WeStrive a more complete fit for coaches who include food guidance as well as workouts.

Coaches can schedule messages, surveys, habits, chained programs and monthly recurring payments. That range can take routine follow-up and billing tasks off a coach’s plate, while progress graphs and habit tracking give both coach and client a way to follow changes over time. The trade-off is that client capacity determines the subscription price, so adding clients also raises the monthly bill.

The iOS and Android app lets clients and coaches follow programs, track habits, graph progress and train on the go; it supports more than 14 languages. Clients can also access the service through westrive.com and train.westrive.com. The integration directory includes Stripe, YouTube, Zapier, Club Automation, Vimeo, Apple Health, Google Fit, nutrition software and Fit3D, giving coaches options to connect payment, media and activity tools.

WeStrive says it uses Microsoft Azure and MongoDB and follows modern security practices. It also says it does not store payment card details and that its processors adhere to PCI-DSS standards. Google Fit data is not used or sold for advertising, users choose what to import, and deletion can be requested. Live support is available, with questions directed to [email protected].

Pricing

The free First Client plan covers one active client and includes payment processing, a free custom website and group messaging. Archived clients do not count toward billing, which is useful for coaches who rotate clients, but the one-active-client cap makes this a starting point rather than a workable tier for a growing roster.

Paid plans are monthly and scale by client capacity: Personal Trainer — 2 clients costs $10/month; 3–5 clients costs $19/month; 6–15 costs $39/month; 16–30 costs $60/month; 31–50 costs $85/month; 51–75 costs $110/month; 76–100 costs $130/month; 101–200 costs $200/month; and 200+ costs $250/month. Coaches pay per client capacity, so the tiers offer a predictable ceiling but may mean moving to a higher price as the business grows. A 14-day trial is available.

Platforms

WeStrive is available on the web, iOS and Android. The mobile app supports clients and coaches, and the client app is available for both major mobile platforms.

Who it's for

WeStrive suits independent trainers and small gyms that want programming, nutrition planning, progress tracking and billing in one system, particularly those who value a mobile client experience and automated follow-up. It is less compelling for a coach who needs capacity well beyond a paid tier’s stated client count or who wants a free plan for more than one active client.

Pros and cons

• Pros: One active client can be managed free, with payment processing, a custom website and group messaging included.
• Pros: The workout builder, large exercise-video library and nutrition database support varied coaching beyond basic workout delivery.
• Pros: Scheduled communications, habits, chained programs and recurring payments can reduce repetitive administration.
• Cons: The free plan is capped at one active client, and every paid tier is bounded by a client-count ceiling.
• Cons: Monthly costs rise substantially across the roster tiers, reaching $250/month for 200+ clients.

Alternatives

Personal Trainer Software is a useful starting point for comparing more coaching platforms by category. Choose My PT Hub if a paid option with a 3-client Starter plan priced at $22.50 per month, billed annually but paid monthly, is a better fit; it has no free plan. ABC Trainerize is worth considering for its free one-client Basic tier and $9/month Grow tier with two client seats. FitPros.io may suit coaches seeking a free plan with unlimited clients, workout building, client apps, website builder, forms and habit tracking. FitSW offers a $16.66/month Premium for Trainers plan with selectable capacity from 5 to 1,000 clients. Everfit has a free Starter plan for up to five clients and a $16/month Pro plan. Trainerfu is another freemium option with a $75/month Branded App plan for branded iOS and Android apps. Kahunas may fit coaches who prefer a paid tier: Essentials costs $35/month for up to 25 clients and includes iOS and Android apps and live onboarding. Coach Catalyst is a paid alternative with a Coach plan at $50/year for up to 100 clients, one community and one coach account.

Verdict

Choose WeStrive if you want training, nutrition, client tracking and recurring billing in one platform, and your active roster fits its client-count tiers. Its one-client free plan is a practical way to begin, but coaches expecting to scale should compare the rising monthly fees with alternatives that offer higher free limits or different capacity pricing.
