Everfit

Everfit fits coaches who want client management, workout delivery, communication, scheduling and payment tools in one place. The free Starter tier gives a small practice a way to begin, while Pro and Studio support larger client lists and branding. Add-ons expand payments, automation and nutrition work. The main point to check is device scope: Everfit lists iOS and Android apps, with web access for Smart Response, but does not name smartwatch compatibility. Pricing also changes with client count for its main plans, so a growing practice should estimate that cost before committing.

  • Free Starter plan supports up to five clients.
  • Client app tracks workouts, reminders, progress and nutrition.
  • Coaches get planning, messaging, scheduling and payment tools.

StrongLifts

StrongLifts suits someone who wants a prescribed barbell routine with progression handled inside the app. The beginner and intermediate templates give a clear starting point, while exercise substitutions and custom programs leave room to adjust the plan. Apple Watch users get set logging, rest alerts, and calculation tools on the watch. Budget for a subscription: there is no free plan, and only the yearly option carries a 7-day trial. Check platform needs carefully if you use a watch other than Apple Watch.

  • Automatic progression responds to successful and failed sets.
  • More than 100 exercises include videos and form guidance.
  • Apple Watch logs sets and provides rest notifications.
