What good billing looks like

The non-negotiables for any personal trainer billing setup.

Must-haves:
Recurring billing:  Subscriptions that auto-renew. The single biggest time-saver.
Card payments via a trusted processor: Stripe, PayPal, or both. The processor should also handle the receipts and confirmations.
Mobile access: You're rarely at a desk.
A branded experience: Clients shouldn't pay a stranger app for your services.

Tired of chasing payments?

You're a coach, not a collections agent. But without the right billing software, you spend hours every month on the chase:

● Sending the same "your invoice is ready" message

● Tracking payments across Venmo, PayPal, and screenshots

● Building PDF invoices in Google Docs

● Watching clients ghost because billing felt unprofessional

● Capping client count because admin already eats your week

We looked into several different companies, but FitBudd was just better than everyone else across the board. Thanks to the platform, I was able to reach thousands of clients and I have grown my online business over 5x in just a few months.

I've tried different platforms, I've tried creating my own app from scratch, and through it all, it wasn't until FitBudd reached out that I really got something that was tailored to my actual training and practices!

I love the app. It is very simple and adding pictures allows you to customize the feel of your individual business. The class booking feature is invaluable—I rely on it heavily to manage my sessions, ensuring everything runs smoothly for my clients. Creating an app is INCREDIBLY hard to do yourself but FitBudd takes all the tech away so you can focus on your training!

For me, saving time is everything as someone who owns a studio, and FitBudd has really helped me manage and use my time efficiently. The support at FitBudd has been great. It's all been pretty easy to learn and get used to.

I love that FitBudd can personalize the app with my branding and logo to make it look like my very own app. My clients love the follow-along feature. All they do is press start and the app takes them through the workout move by move.

I chose FitBudd for my multinational personal training company with 100+ clients. Other software options were not nearly as custom, and after I reached 75 clients, they were too slow to handle the bandwidth.

The app's easy-to-use interface and powerful features have made transitioning to online training seamless. Since I started using FitBudd, my client base has grown significantly, and the training experience for my clients has improved tremendously.
