App to connect fitness trainers with clients

London: In the crowded fitness apps market, here comes one that connects personal trainers to their clients. The app, developed by Finnish company Motivade, compiles clients' training data and helps personal trainers find clients and monitor their progress, Good News from Finland online reported.

The app is both a tool for communication between the trainee and trainer. Through the app, which comes with a fee, personal trainers can create workout programmes themselves and invoice their clients for their services. The price is not affected by the number of clients. The personal trainer pays a monthly fee for the app.

For example, Tuukka Linjala, who started as a personal trainer in 2008, used to draw up training programmes only on paper and in traditional computer files. He had a lot of clients and he had to find time to discuss their progress with each of them. At the same time, he had to remember who had osteoarthritis and who had undergone a knee operation. Clients benefit from the free service, as they can see their progress in Motivade.
