Looking for a Hevy Coach alternative?
Hevy Coach is a clean way to program workouts, and clients love the Hevy app. It stops at training: no nutrition plans, payments or branding.
Hevy Coach costs $25/month for 1–10 clients, $50 for 11–25 and $90 for 26–50, and your clients train in the Hevy app with free Hevy Pro. It focuses on workout programming, logging and progress. Nutrition plans, payment collection and your own branding aren't part of it. Trainzilla Coach Pro is $19/month ($190/year; ₹499/month in India) with unlimited clients, workout and nutrition plans, payments, branding and an AI agent that adjusts both from check-ins. Hevy Coach wins on its workout-logging app; Trainzilla wins on covering the whole coaching business at a lower price.
