Platform Comparison

Peaked vs ABC Trainerize

Trainerize is the platform most coaches start on. It works — until you want to charge clients, build meal plans, do video, or look like a real brand. Then the add-on math starts.

Peaked includes all of that on every plan.

Straight talk

Where ABC Trainerize still has the edge

We don't pretend to be everything. If these are non-negotiable for your business, Trainerize is the better fit today:

Wearable integrations

Trainerize integrates natively with Apple Health, Garmin, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, and Withings. Peaked uses Nutritionix for the food database; full wearable integrations are on the roadmap.

AI Workout Builder

Trainerize ships an AI-assisted workout generator. Peaked focuses on coach-built programming with a volume calculator instead.

Existing audience and Trainerize.me listing

Trainerize has a public coach directory that can generate inbound. Peaked is built for coaches who drive their own leads.

Habit gamification

Streaks, badges, and challenge leaderboards are native to Trainerize. Peaked treats habits through check-ins and content rather than gamification.

Coach-branded white-label app

Trainerize ships full app-store white-label (Studio tier). Peaked's native app is live under the Peaked brand; full coach-branded white-label is on the roadmap.

If those five things are critical, Trainerize is the right call. If they're not — Peaked is built for the rest of running the business.

Why coaches move

Why coaches switch from ABC Trainerize to Peaked

  1. 1

    The add-on math gets exhausting

    Once you've paid for nutrition, payments, video, and business features separately, you're paying $200/mo for what Peaked sells at $135. And every time Peaked ships a new feature, you don't get an upsell — you get an update.

  2. 2

    The CRM lives inside the platform, not in a Zapier zap

    Trainerize pushes you to wire your CRM through Zapier. Peaked builds CRM, lead capture, lead status, and waitlist tracking into the same platform as your clients.

  3. 3

    Contracts and onboarding aren't an afterthought

    Generate, send, sign, and store contracts inside Peaked. Build custom onboarding workflows. Trigger welcome emails. None of this requires a second tool.

  4. 4

    Check-ins are structured, not just messages

    Daily forms, weekly forms, photo uploads, training video uploads, and a workload filter so you can batch your check-in time. On Trainerize, check-ins are mostly messaging.

  5. 5

    The team coaching dashboard is included

    On Peaked, multi-coach setups are standard. On Trainerize, that's Studio tier territory ($248+/mo per location).

Make the move

Migrating from ABC Trainerize to Peaked

We've done this. Most coaches make the full switch inside a week — risk-free, while you're still on your existing plan.

  • Client export: We help you pull your client roster, contact info, and history out of Trainerize.

  • Program library: Bring your master programs and workouts. Peaked imports the structure so you're not rebuilding from scratch.

  • Payments: Stripe stays Stripe. We connect your existing Stripe account directly — no need to migrate your payment processor.

  • Communication: Send a one-page client announcement (we provide the template). Most coaches do the full switch in under a week.

  • Risk-free: Run Peaked alongside Trainerize for your first client free, while you're still on your existing plan.
