Their name on the icon
Your clients open your app, not someone else’s with your logo inside. Branding is part of every plan, not an upgrade.
Trainerize alternative
Your name. Not theirs.
Athvilo is a Trainerize alternative for coaches who want their own branded app without the setup fee, the App Store paperwork or a bill that jumps with every tier. Your name, colours and photo on your clients’ home screen, from $15 a month.
Founding Partners: $15 a month, 20 active paying clients included.

Athvilo prices are the Founding Partners plan ($15 a month with 20 active paying clients included, then $0.25 each). Trainerize figures are from trainerize.com/pricing (monthly billing), checked 30 October 2026. Trainerize shows yearly billing by default, about 10% lower (for example $23 for Pro 5); the figures here are its monthly prices. Publishing a branded app to the Apple App Store also needs an Apple developer account at $99 a year. Trainerize (ABC Trainerize) is a trademark of its owner; Athvilo isn’t affiliated with it.
Why coaches switch.
No App Store project
No developer account, no review queue, no listing to maintain. Clients add your app to their home screen from your link.
A bill that grows slowly
No tiers to jump between. Each active paying client above 20 adds $0.25. Paused, trial and past clients cost nothing.
Live by tonight
Name it, pick your colours and photo, invite your clients. Minutes, not a setup project.
Coaching, not admin
Weekly plans, session logs with effort and feel, a feedback thread on every session, and one inbox for all of it.

When Trainerize is the better fit.
We’d rather you choose right than switch twice. Trainerize is probably better for you if:
- Wearable sync with Garmin, Fitbit or Withings is a must today.
- You need video calls or payment processing built into the coaching app.
- You want a native app listed in the App Store under your name and are fine with the setup.
- You run a multi-location studio or gym with hundreds of members.
If what you want is your own app on your clients’ phones, coaching that feels personal, and a small, predictable bill, Athvilo is built for you.

Questions coaches ask.
Is Athvilo cheaper than Trainerize?
For most coaches, yes. Founding Partners pay $15 a month with 20 active paying clients included and $0.25 per extra active paying client, with your own branded app included. On monthly billing Trainerize Pro is $25 for 5 clients, $79 for up to 30 and $135 for up to 50, and a custom branded app on Pro has a $169 setup fee.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. Your clients open your invite link and add your app to their home screen in one tap, on iPhone or Android. There’s no App Store listing to set up.
Can I move my clients from Trainerize to Athvilo?
Yes. You invite your clients to your new app with a link and set up their programmes there. We help founding coaches with the move.
Does Athvilo connect to Garmin or Fitbit?
Not yet. Clients log sessions in your app. If wearable sync is essential for you today, Trainerize is the better fit.
