Trainda review

Trainda is a coaching platform from Espoo, Finland (Trainda Ltd, founded 2017, live since 2019) that says more than 400,000 people have been coached on it. It covers 1:1 coaching, groups and courses in one account, with native iOS and Android client apps, Apple Health and Health Connect sync, a barcode food diary, community threads and AI drafts of workouts and recipes.

Prices are published in euros, ex-VAT, by included client seats: Free for 1 client, Pro10 €29/mo, Pro30 €65 and Growth €139 for 50 clients, with €10, €8 or €6 a month for each extra client. Billed yearly they are about 17% cheaper. That is about $32, $73 and $155 a month at the ECB rate of November 3, 2026, which puts Trainda among the cheaper tools in this catalog up to about 30 clients.

Three things to weigh: taking client payments in Trainda costs €20/mo plus €50 one-time on the Pro plans, your logo and colours only arrive on Growth (€139), and there are almost no independent reviews.

• Coaches with up to about 30 clients

  who want native apps, wearable sync and a food diary without paying for add-ons.

• Group, cohort and course coaches

  Groups can have several training tracks assigned by an intake questionnaire, each coaching has its own community with topics and threads, and self-paced courses start at purchase.

• Nordic and German-speaking markets

  Clients can use the app in Finnish, Swedish, English, German or Estonian, chosen per client.

It is a weaker fit if your brand on the app matters at a small size (Coachplan and Coachway put your logo and colours on every plan), if you want your own store app at a published price (FitBudd), or if you need a deep English-language food database for nutrition coaching (Trainerize, PT Distinction).

Each plan includes a number of client seats; above that you pay a fixed price per extra client, so you can stay on a plan and grow. Extra coaches cost nothing on paid plans. Prices exclude VAT and are only published in euros; the dollar figures below are converted at the ECB reference rate of November 3, 2026 (€1 = $1.1179).

The 1-month free trial of Pro10 or Pro30 rolls into a paid plan automatically, so cancel or move to Free before it ends if you do not want to continue. Trainda says it announces any price rise at least three months ahead.

Trainda takes no commission on what your clients pay you. Payments go to your own Stripe account and you pay Stripe’s fees directly. To run subscriptions, packages and course sales inside Trainda you switch on Stripe payments: €20/mo plus a €50 one-time fee on Pro10 and Pro30, and included on Growth with a €179 one-time fee. You can also skip it and bill clients any way you like.

On 20 clients paying $150 a month, the €20 add-on is about $22 a month, well below a percentage fee: Coachplan’s 1.5% would be $45 and TrueCoach’s 5% would be $150. Our payment fee calculator compares card fees across platforms.

• Programming

  1,000+ exercises with video plus your own, supersets, AMRAPs and EMOMs with in-app timing, training blocks scheduled weeks ahead, templates and per-exercise alternatives. Clients log reps and weight for every set.

• Nutrition

  Calorie and macro targets per client, recipes that scale automatically and suggestions that fit the remaining macros, one-tap shopping lists, and a client food diary with barcode scanning (Open Food Facts) or typed macros.

• Check-ins and habits

  Custom check-ins that branch on answers, several at once, weight and measurements, and recurring habit check-ins.

• Messaging

  One queue with unanswered messages first across DMs, check-ins and community posts, replies by text, voice or video, filters by group, coach and tag, and bulk messages.

• Groups, community and courses

  Groups with several tracks, a community with topics and threads for each coaching, scheduled posts, and self-paced courses.

• Wearables

  Steps and workouts from Apple Health and Android Health Connect, which covers Apple Watch, Garmin, Polar, Oura, WHOOP, Samsung, Pixel Watch and Fitbit.

• AI

  Drafts recipes (with macros) and workouts for you to finish, on a credit allowance that grows with the plan.

What is thinner: about 100 ready-made recipes and a Finnish national food database (Fineli) for meal plans, no lead page, checkout page or web shop outside Enterprise (which adds Shopify and WooCommerce), no Zapier, and a coach dashboard in Finnish and English only.

Independent evidence is scarce. Trustpilot shows a TrustScore of 3.8 from 2 reviews (both five stars, in Finnish, praising ease of use, the Finnish interface, the AI and the price; the low score reflects how few there are). Trainda is not listed on Capterra or G2. The client app has 5.0 from 1 rating on the Finnish App Store, too few to show a score in the US store, and 1,000+ downloads on Google Play with no rating shown.

Trainda’s own case studies describe coaches who moved from platforms that took a 30% commission. Support replies in English and Finnish by the next business day, through chat in the dashboard, and Trainda helps move clients, programs and libraries from another app after a call.
