ABC Trainerize vs TeamUp (2026): which should you pick?

Pick ABC Trainerize if

• Fits if you coach clients on workouts and meals and want them following your plan in an app
• Works for gyms that want programs, booking and a branded app together on a Studio plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if booking is the main job, as it needs the $25-a-month Business add-on on Grow and Pro
• Tight if you're staying free, because the Basic plan covers one client and the trial leaves out add-ons
• Pricey if your client list grows: Pro is $122 a month at 50 clients and $225 at 200, billed yearly
• Watch out: payments ($10), video coaching ($10) and advanced nutrition ($20 to $45) are monthly add-ons on Grow and Pro
• Watch out: unused time isn't refunded, and a downgrade only applies at the end of the billing cycle

Pick TeamUp if

• Fits if you run a group fitness studio or CrossFit box with a few hundred members
• Works for operators with several locations, since locations are unlimited on the one plan

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if your member count grows: anyone who books or buys in a month counts, and above 500 it's $379
• Pricey if you want an app under your own name, at $99 a month on top
• Watch out: Marketing Suite and the Perform add-on cost extra, and their prices aren't on the pricing page
• Tight if you want time to decide, as the trial lasts 7 days and there's no free plan
