Superhuman Code vs Trainerize · updated July 2026

The Trainerize alternative where the branded app isn't an add-on.

Both platforms handle training, nutrition, check-ins and client messaging. The difference is what your clients see: a generic portal with your logo squeezed in — or your own premium app, included from your first paid plan.

An honest comparison. Trainerize is a strong product — if you run a multi-location gym with a large team, it may genuinely fit you better. We say so below. This page is for coaches deciding where their brand lives.

The honest verdict

Pick by what your business actually is

Choose Superhuman Code if…

  • You want clients opening your app, not a platform's
  • Design quality is part of what you charge for
  • You're a solo coach or studio building a premium brand
  • You want branding included, not priced as an extra
  • You'd rather start free and grow into $39/mo

Everything your clients touch carries your brand — from the app icon to the splash screen.

Trainerize may fit better if…

  • You run a multi-location gym with a large team
  • You need class scheduling & calendar sync today
  • Zapier automations are central to your stack
  • You want group chat communities now

Credit where due: Trainerize's operational depth for gyms is real. If that's you, it's a fair choice — and we're building in that direction.

Pricing

What the branded app actually costs you

Superhuman Code

Free → $39/mo

Start free, no card. Paid plans $39 / $119 / $189 per month — your branded app is included on all of them. Cancel and export anytime; your brand and data are yours.

Trainerize

$9 → $248/mo

Free, Grow ($9), Pro 5 ($23), Studio Plus ($248 per location) — but the Custom Branded App is a separate paid add-on, and it isn't offered at all on the Free or Grow tiers. Prices from trainerize.com, July 2026.

Questions coaches ask

Switching, honestly answered

Can I move my clients over from Trainerize?

Yes. You invite clients with a link; they install your branded app and complete a guided onboarding. Your training and nutrition libraries are rebuilt in Superhuman Code's builders — most coaches migrate their core programs in an afternoon.

Is the branded app really included — what's the catch?

No catch: every paid plan ships your app with your name, icon, colors and one of four designed themes. The free plan lets you build and test everything before you pay.

What am I giving up by leaving Trainerize?

Today: class scheduling with calendar sync, Zapier integrations, group communities, and multi-location team tooling. If any of those is core to your business right now, weigh it seriously — that's why this page lists them.

Do my clients pay through the app?

Clients purchase packages on the web (Stripe), keeping the iOS app clean of forced in-app purchase fees. You keep your margins.

Your clients. Your app.
