Train App vs Mindbody

The enterprise platform built for studios and gyms

Mindbody: From $129/mo·Train App: from £19.99/mo

Our Honest Take

Mindbody is built for yoga studios, gyms, and wellness centres — not individual personal trainers. It's expensive, complex, and overkill for a PT business. Train App is purpose-built for coaches who work with individual clients.
