My PT Hub 4+

I joined PT Hub when it was first released and gave it a go with my PT Clients but I just couldn’t seem to get them to engage with it.

A few years past and then Lockdown happened! All of a sudden I needed to adapt my business to become an Online Coach and so I decided to re-visit PT Hub.

I used the app to create and sell Online Training Programs and would then become a Coach for my Clients using this app to send them all their workouts and nutrition etc

I have found the app is quite useful for this and although there are other alternatives out there I feel this one is more client friendly

I also use the app with my Skype Clients,I send them workouts and keep track of their body measurements etc

There are definitely some features that need improving, and a few things they could change to save me and my clients time,but overall the app works for what I need it for

The biggest drawback to the app is the calorie tracking/nutrition logging. The barcode scanner doesn’t work and lots of foods can’t be found. It also features lots of bodybuilding exercises but not that many functional/body weight/dynamic exercises which would be better for your average client that isn’t looking to get muscular at the gym

I have been using my pt hub for 3 years already. I updated to the new version about a month ago. In general the app works well, but in contrast with the old version per example it doesn’t allow me to get a workout done ✅ and deduct the session from the laptop. I have to go on my phone start the workout and deduct the session from there. Another thing is the calendar, sometimes if u want to delete a session or edit it, it doesn’t work and i have to delete all sessions from that person and book a new activity. It gets really annoying because every time u do a change the client receive an email. With each cancellation and each new booking. Also when u looking for a workout, you have to be really specific with the name of the exercise you looking for, example, if you looking for press ups from knees, unless you write “ Press ups from the knees” if u don’t write it like that even if is the to or three first words, the app won’t show u the exercise. It sounds like a minor issue but makes u struggle to create workouts more efficiently.
Beside that the app is great and has a lot of potential and is really good for online or face to face clients.

So the app is great to communicate and see the plans and exercises set by my PT. I like that the exercises come with demo videos which is defo useful. However the app is slow, sometimes data does not sync due to the performance of the app being poor or you have to wait up to a minute which isn't great response time. The poor performance also applies when navigating through screens. Also the calories don't always update in real-time so you save your log and either need to view macros or navigate away from the page and come back or check the actual input via another screen. Also if you catch up on a missed workout it still classes it as missed which is annoying. Also you can't delete or edit messages they are there forever - which is an interesting "feature"! The worst thing is that the options of food is limited and an awful lot of the food data and calories associated is incorrect so I have to double check everything - fitness pal is defo better for logging food. Hence room for allot of improvement with this app! Would I recommend probably not as I'm sure PTs will have better alternatives to use!
