What's New

The latest features, improvements, and fixes in PowerTrainer.

1.18.0

Rate your trainer, and read what others said

  • AddedAthletes can now review a trainer — one to five stars, and as much or as little text as you like with it. The button is on the trainer's page in the catalog, beside their name. You do not have to have trained with them, and each trainer can be reviewed once. Your review is published under your full name, and the form says so before you send it. Afterwards you can change the stars, change the text, or take the review down again: it is yours, and nobody else can touch it. The trainer is told when a review arrives and when a rating changes.
  • AddedEvery trainer in the catalog now shows their rating and how many reviews it is made of — on their card and on their page, and nothing at all rather than a zero until somebody has reviewed them. Rating joins the Sort by menu, and it counts the reviews as well as the average: 4.6 from forty athletes places above 5.0 from one, so a single review cannot lift anybody to the top. Trainers nobody has reviewed yet come last.
  • ImprovedMy trainers now shows each of your trainers as the card you found them on — photo, rating and prices — and the card opens their page, which is where a review is written. A trainer who has not published a profile keeps their place in the list, with your contact details for them as before.
1.17.0

See the catalog your profile is in

  • AddedAs a trainer you can now open the trainer catalog and read it the way athletes do. It is a second tab beside My profile, so writing your profile and seeing how it reads among everyone else's happens in one place. Your own listing is in there too, marked as yours and in the position it really landed in — the clearest way to see what finishing your profile actually changes.
1.16.0

Show how many athletes you coach

  • AddedYou can now show how many athletes you coach on your trainer profile. It stays off until you turn it on — the switch is at the end of your profile form, under your website. Only the athletes you are actively coaching are counted, the number keeps itself up to date as your client list changes, and nothing appears at all while you have no active clients. If you leave it off you lose nothing: it has no effect on where you appear in the trainer catalog.
1.15.1

Your WhatsApp number is a contact detail

  • ImprovedWhatsApp has moved out of Where to find you and into your contact details, where it belongs — a phone number is not something to publish to everyone browsing the catalog. It now behaves like your email address and phone: only athletes whose coaching request you have accepted can see it, and they reach you in one tap. If you added it earlier today, please enter it again under your contact details.
1.15.0

Now on WhatsApp

  • AddedTrainers can add WhatsApp to where athletes find them, alongside Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. Type in your phone number and we build the link — include the country code, or it will only work for athletes in your own country. Your profile shows it as WhatsApp rather than writing the number out, and one tap opens a chat with you.
1.14.0

Say what you charge, find what fits

  • AddedTrainers can price each kind of offer separately instead of quoting one monthly rate — Online coaching, Single training session, Training plan only and Consultation. Switch on the ones you actually sell, give each a single price or a range, and choose one currency for all of them. Anything left switched off is simply not shown. If you had a monthly rate before, it is already in place as your Online coaching price.
  • AddedA trainer's card and their profile now list every price they quote, each one named, so online coaching reads right next to the cost of a single session. Trainers who have not priced anything still say Price on request — which has always meant ask them, not that the coaching is free.
  • AddedThree new filters in the catalog: the kind of offer you are after, the most you want to pay, and the currency. Filtering by a kind of offer shows only the trainers who sell it. Pick a kind of offer first and the price box opens up — a maximum on its own could not say which of a trainer's prices it was about.
  • ImprovedSorting by price now follows what you filtered for. Ask for consultations and it ranks their consultation prices rather than their monthly ones, so the cheapest trainer for what you actually want is the one at the top. With no kind of offer picked it ranks online coaching, and there the trainers who have not priced it come last rather than first — no price means ask, not free. The order is no longer called Monthly rate — catalog links you already shared still open the same list.
1.13.1

Coaching, back to one press

  • ImprovedThe Coaching section is gone and its pages are back in the main navigation, where they take one press instead of two: for trainers, Clients sits at the top again with Requests as a tab beside it, and My profile has an entry of its own. For athletes there is one Trainer catalog entry, with My trainers as its second tab. No page went away — every one keeps the address you may have bookmarked, and the dot still marks whatever is waiting for your answer.
  • FixedOpening a client's training now keeps you with that client. The trail above the page reads Clients / their name / Training, so leaving the session takes you back to their page instead of dropping you into your own trainings.
1.13.0

Find a coach, or be found by one

  • AddedEverything to do with coaching now sits in one Coaching section in the navigation instead of being scattered through Settings — Find a trainer and My trainers for athletes, Clients, Requests and My profile for trainers. A dot marks whatever is waiting for your answer.
  • AddedAthletes can browse the trainer catalog under Coaching → Find a trainer — open a trainer to read what they specialise in, the languages they coach in, where they work, what they charge and the certificates they state. Filter by focus area, language and location, show only trainers taking new clients, and sort by price or by name.
  • AddedAsk a trainer to coach you straight from their profile, with a message about what you train and what you want to work on — they see your name and your message, never your email or phone number. Requests waiting for an answer are listed above the catalog, and you can withdraw one at any time.
  • AddedTrainers get a public profile to fill in — profile and cover photo, a gallery, a description of your coaching, focus areas, languages, pricing, certificates, links to your public work and the places you coach. A completeness meter shows what is still missing, more complete profiles appear higher in the catalog, and nothing is visible to anybody until you publish it.
  • AddedAnswer requests under Coaching → Requests: accept and the athlete joins your clients and the two of you see each other's contact details, or decline and they can ask you again later. If somebody has approached you before, the request says so and how it ended.
  • AddedOne switch closes the door without hiding you: turn Accepting new clients off and the request button goes, but your profile stays in the catalog, so athletes can still find you and come back later. Requests already waiting are unaffected.
1.10.0

Track your own progress, no trainer required

  • AddedAthletes can now log their own competitions, personal bests, and video on their own trainings — all the things that used to require a trainer to set up for you.
  • AddedAdd your own custom exercises and tutorials to the exercise database — write your own instructions, or link a video, for movements the public database doesn't cover.
  • AddedNew Solo plan for athletes — one subscription unlocks unlimited self-tracked competitions and personal bests, unlimited custom exercises and tutorials, and unlimited video on your own trainings.
  • AddedA new usage panel under Settings → Subscription shows exactly how much of your free allowance you've used for each feature, with a link to upgrade when you're close to a limit.
1.9.0

Upgrade your plan in a couple of taps

  • AddedNew Studio plan — coach up to 50 athletes on a single subscription, for growing teams that have outgrown Pro.
  • AddedYou can now upgrade to a higher plan directly from Settings → Subscription. Before you confirm, you'll see exactly what you'll pay today — the unused time on your current plan is credited automatically and only the difference is charged.
  • ImprovedPlan upgrades take effect immediately — your new athlete limit is available the moment your payment goes through, with no waiting for the next billing cycle.
1.8.1

Complete your training without scrolling

  • ImprovedThe “Complete training” button now stays pinned to the bottom of the screen as you scroll through a training's detail, so it's always within reach instead of hidden at the very end.
  • ImprovedOn phones, tapping into a text field no longer zooms the page in, so forms stay put and are easier to fill out.
  • FixedThe complete and feedback controls now appear only on trainings you created or that are assigned to you, so they no longer show up when viewing someone else's training.
1.8.0

Never start from scratch with a new client

  • AddedWhen an athlete joins your group, you can now see their previous trainings, performances, and competitions from any trainer who has coached them — no more starting from a blank slate with a new client.
  • ImprovedTrainings, performances, and competitions created by another trainer are now clearly labeled with their author's name and shown read-only, so you can always tell your own entries apart from a client's history with someone else.
  • AddedAthletes can now see all the trainer groups they belong to under Settings, and leave any group at any time — leaving immediately removes that trainer's access to their history.
  • AddedBefore accepting a new trainer's invitation, athletes now see exactly what that trainer will be able to see, so they know what they're agreeing to.
1.7.1

Log your own metrics and safer published trainings

  • AddedAthletes can now add their own columns to the set log — track extra metrics beyond what the trainer prescribed, such as weight or RPE, when logging your results (up to 3 columns in total).
  • ImprovedPublished trainings are now protected from accidental edits — the editor opens them read-only with a notice, and making changes requires unpublishing first.
  • ImprovedPast trainings can no longer be published or unpublished — like editing, these actions are only available for upcoming trainings.
1.7.0

Autosave and draft trainings

  • ImprovedTrainings now save automatically as you build them — every change is stored as you go, so you no longer need to save manually and won't lose your work if you leave the page or close the tab.
  • AddedTrainers can now build a training as a private draft — take your time putting it together, and your athlete won't see it until it's ready.
  • AddedPublish a training when it's ready to share with your athlete, and unpublish it anytime to hide it again — both right from the calendar.
1.6.0

Explore the exercise database

  • AddedAthletes now have a new Exercises section — browse the public exercise database and open any exercise to see its details and demonstration video.
  • AddedFind exercises quickly: search by name and filter by muscle group, movement pattern, exercise type, or plane of motion.
  • AddedStar exercises as favorites — they are offered first when you pick exercises while creating your own training.
1.5.0

Plan your own trainings

  • AddedYou can now create your own trainings directly on your calendar — plan a workout for any day yourself, without waiting for a trainer to assign one.
  • AddedManage your own trainings freely: edit them, duplicate them, drag them to another day, or delete them anytime.
  • ImprovedTrainings assigned by your trainer appear on the same calendar, labelled with their author and kept view-only, so your own plans and your trainer's never get mixed up.
1.4.0

Your trainings on a calendar

  • ImprovedYour trainings now live on a calendar instead of a plain list — browse any month on desktop or any week on mobile.
  • ImprovedOpening a training now takes you to its full detail page, and going back returns you to the exact month or week you were viewing.
1.3.0

Trainings 2.0 is now standard

  • ImprovedTrainings 2.0 is out of beta and is now the standard way to train. When you create a training it's always built set by set — the separate Classic option is gone.
  • ImprovedAll your existing trainings have been automatically upgraded to the new set-based format — there's nothing you need to do, and your uploaded videos stay attached.
  • ImprovedEvery training now opens in the same editor and the same view, so the experience is consistent everywhere.
1.2.0

Trainings 2.0 (beta)

  • AddedIntroducing Trainings 2.0 (beta): build workouts set by set, giving each set its own reps, weight, and difficulty target instead of a single prescription for the whole exercise.
  • AddedAthletes can log what they actually performed for each individual set, making progress tracking far more precise.
  • ImprovedTrainings 2.0 is in beta and works as a new training type. When creating a training you can choose between Classic training and Training 2.0. Each has its own editor and its own view. Everything will gradually be unified into Training 2.0.
1.1.0

A calendar of our own

  • ImprovedThe training calendar has been rebuilt from the ground up — faster and lighter, with a dedicated month view on desktop and a streamlined week view on mobile.
  • AddedDrag and drop a training onto another day to reschedule it instantly.
  • ImprovedSmoother drag-and-drop animations make moving trainings around feel effortless.
1.0.1

Trainings & calendar redesign

  • ImprovedThe trainings and calendar screens got a UX/UI rework — cleaner layout, clearer training events, and much better behavior on mobile, including a redesigned week view.
  • ImprovedSmoother exercise detail view and a tidier trainings overview.
1.0.0

Subscriptions & plans

  • AddedSubscriptions are here — upgrade to the Pro plan with secure Stripe checkout and manage your billing anytime from the customer portal.
  • AddedFree and Pro plans for trainers: Pro raises the number of active athletes you can coach.
  • AddedA new Subscription page shows your current plan, its status, and your payment details at a glance.
  • AddedIf a payment fails, you get an in-app notification with a one-click link to update your payment method.
  • ImprovedA grace period keeps your access running while a failed payment is retried, so your coaching never stops abruptly.
