Looking for a TrainHeroic alternative?
TrainHeroic is excellent for strength and team programming. It's priced per athlete and built around training, not nutrition.
TrainHeroic costs $9.99/month for 1 athlete, $17.99 for up to 5, $44.99 for up to 25 and $74.99 for up to 50, with assistant coaches at $9.99/month each. It focuses on strength and conditioning: team programming, video review, leaderboards and a marketplace to sell programs. Nutrition planning isn't part of it. Trainzilla Coach Pro is $19/month ($190/year; ₹499/month in India) with unlimited clients, nutrition plans, payments and an AI agent that adjusts training and diet from check-ins. TrainHeroic wins for teams and performance athletes; Trainzilla wins for one-to-one coaching that includes diet.
