Is Phaserr a full replacement for Trainerize?

Not for everything. Trainerize also covers habit coaching, nutrition, video coaching, and payments — Phaserr doesn't try to. If the core of your coaching is periodized strength programming, Phaserr replaces the part that matters and goes deeper on it; if you rely on nutrition or habit features daily, you may want both or neither.

Does Phaserr support percent-based and RPE loading?

Yes — both are first-class. Phaserr keeps a dated 1RM history per athlete and computes percentage-based working weights from it automatically; RPE-based prescriptions are supported alongside.

How much does Phaserr cost compared to Trainerize?

Phaserr is free. Trainerize is free for one client, then tiered by client count on annual billing: Grow at $9/mo, Pro plans from $23/mo scaling with client count up to 200 clients, and Studio Plus at $248/mo per location, with paid add-ons for advanced nutrition ($20–45/mo), video coaching ($10/mo), and integrated payments ($10/mo).

Can I move my Trainerize clients to Phaserr?

There is no automated importer. In practice you rebuild your program structure as blocks (the AI assistant speeds this up), enter each athlete's current maxes, and invite them to log in Phaserr — most coaches migrate a roster over a week of sessions.

Alternatives

A Trainerize alternative built for strength programming

Trainerize is a strong all-round platform for running a personal-training business. But if the core of your work is writing periodized strength programs — blocks, percentages, RPE, rep maxes — you may be paying for breadth you don't use while the programming tools stay shallow.

Phaserr comes at it from the opposite direction: it is a program builder first. You plan the macrocycle, build mesocycles, prescribe loads as %1RM or RPE, and every logged set feeds straight back into tomorrow's working weights.

What Trainerize does well

ABC Trainerize is built for trainers running a full coaching business in one place: polished iOS and Android client apps, habit and lifestyle coaching, nutrition tracking with a paid advanced tier, video coaching, in-app payments, and a large ecosystem of device integrations. For general fitness coaching at scale, it is a mature, well-supported choice.

Phaserr vs Trainerize at a glance

	Phaserr	Trainerize
Built for	Strength and S&C coaches writing periodized programs (powerlifting, weightlifting, combat, team sport).	Personal trainers and fitness businesses coaching training, habits, and nutrition in one app.
Program building	Block periodization is the core object: plan the macrocycle, phase the blocks, build sessions inside them — with an AI assistant that understands periodization.	Workout builder with an AI assist (Grow plan and up) and Phased Programs for scheduling periodization phases; load and intensity across phases are managed by hand.
Loading methods	Percent-based and RPE-based prescriptions built in. A dated 1RM history feeds percentage loads automatically — a new max updates tomorrow's working sets.	Tracks 1RM history per client, but loads are prescribed as absolute target weights — no percentage-of-1RM prescription (a top-voted feature request since 2016). RPE is captured as post-workout feedback, not a prescription target.
Logging & progress	Set-by-set actuals, AMRAPs and test days captured; logging feeds directly into the next session's loads.	Workout tracking, progress photos, body stats, and wide device integrations (Apple Watch, wearables).
Nutrition & habits	Not a focus — Phaserr stays a training-programming tool.	Basic nutrition tracking included; Advanced Nutrition Coaching is a paid add-on ($20–45 USD/mo); habit coaching built in.

Which one is for you

Choose Trainerize if…

You run a general PT or hybrid business and want training, habits, nutrition, and payments in one platform.
Your clients expect a polished branded mobile app today.
Your programming is mostly general fitness, not percentage- or RPE-driven strength work.

Choose Phaserr if…

You write periodized strength blocks and think in macro- and mesocycles, not week-by-week workout calendars.
You prescribe loads as %1RM or RPE and want maxes, percentages, and progressions handled automatically.
You want athletes' logged sets to drive the next session's loads instead of recalculating by hand.

Moving from Trainerize to Phaserr

There is no one-click importer between the two platforms, but a working migration is a few evenings, not a rewrite — and you only move what still earns its place in the program.

Pull up your current program calendar in Trainerize and write down the underlying structure: phases, weekly split, and how you progress loads.
Rebuild that structure in Phaserr as blocks — the AI assistant can draft mesocycles from your split and goals, and you adjust from there.
Enter each athlete's current maxes (or a recent AMRAP result) so percent-based prescriptions compute working weights automatically.
Invite your athletes and start logging — from the first session, actuals feed the loads Phaserr suggests next.
