HealthyApp compared

One app, not two.

Most online coaches run training in Trainerize and send clients to MyFitnessPal to log food. That's two apps for every client, targets typed in twice, and an upgrade your clients pay for themselves. HealthyApp does both jobs — and the check-ins, video and messaging around them — in one app with your name on it.

200,000+ clients of Trainerize coaches log their food in MyFitnessPal, according to ABC Fitness, Trainerize's parent company.

What your clients get, and what you get.

Capability
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal
HealthyApp
The client's day
One app for everything
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal½Partly. Training lives in Trainerize, food in MyFitnessPal. Two apps, two logins, one-way sync of the food log.
HealthyAppIncluded. Training, food, check-ins, habits and messages in one app, on iPhone, Android and the web.
Your targets reach their food log
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal–Not available. Coach targets don't sync to MyFitnessPal — Trainerize says MyFitnessPal has no API for it, so the client types them in by hand.
HealthyAppIncluded. Set calories, macros and carb cycles once; they land in the client's food log instantly, and High or Low days are named on their screen.
Barcode and photo logging
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal$Costs extra. In MyFitnessPal, barcode scan and Meal Scan are Premium — $19.99/mo or $79.99/yr, paid by each client.
HealthyAppIncluded. Barcode, voice and photo logging for every client, no upgrade. Photo macros are labelled as estimates; a repeat meal can be pinned to exact numbers.
Logging that fits the person
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal–Not available. One food diary for everyone.
HealthyAppIncluded. Four styles per client — photos only, follow the meal plan, quick logs, or every gram.
Hide the numbers
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal–Not available. Calorie and macro counts are the whole interface.
HealthyAppIncluded. One switch turns nutrition into names and photos with no numbers anywhere — for clients with a history of disordered eating.
Phone, watch and health data
Trainerize + MyFitnessPalIncluded. iOS and Android apps, an Apple Watch app, and direct Garmin, Fitbit and Withings sync.
HealthyAppIncluded. iOS and Android apps. Steps, workouts, heart rate, sleep and weigh-ins flow in through Apple Health and Health Connect.
Nutrition coaching
Coach-built meal plans
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal$Costs extra. Meal planning is part of a paid Trainerize nutrition add-on. MyFitnessPal's planner is Premium+ ($24.99/mo) and generates its own plans, not yours.
HealthyAppIncluded. Plan 1–6 meals a day from ingredients and the macros do their own math. Clients can build their own plan to your numbers.
Shopping list and the person who cooks
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal½Partly. Meal plans attach as a PDF; sharing one with a partner or chef is an open request on Trainerize's ideas forum.
HealthyAppIncluded. A shopping list summed across the week, and a no-login link for whoever does the cooking.
Eating out and travel
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal–Not available. A restaurant meal is logged after the fact.
HealthyAppIncluded. Your own restaurant picks with what to order, nearby places ranked for staying on plan, and travel weeks that don't count as falling off.
Check-ins
A real weekly check-in
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal½Partly. Habit compliance and automated messages; no structured coach-written check-in form.
HealthyAppIncluded. Your own check-in form on your own schedule. Clients can answer by talking, and two low scores flag a rough week.
Video check-ins, already read
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal–Not available. Live video calls only.
HealthyAppIncluded. Clients record a short video; you get a written summary of energy, mood and anything that needs you, plus progress photos cut from the video.
A second pair of eyes on photos
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal–Not available. Photos are stored and shown; the comparing is yours to do.
HealthyAppIncluded. Each check-in's photos are compared with the client's earlier ones and you get written observations — never a number put on someone's body.
A weekly video from you, without filming
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal–Not available. The Video Coaching add-on is a class library, not a personal message.
HealthyAppIncluded. A weekly check-in video in your own face and voice, drafted from that client's week. You approve every one before it sends.
Your week as a coach
Starts with who needs you
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal½Partly. Compliance scores flag at-risk clients — a real strength. The follow-up is yours to write.
HealthyAppIncluded. Today sorts your roster by who needs you and why, with the follow-up already drafted for your approval.
An assistant that does the work
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal½Partly. AI drafts workouts.
HealthyAppIncluded. Tell Vera what you want — move a session, adjust macros, update a meal plan, draft a message. Every change is proposed, approved by you, and can be undone.
Texting, not another app
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal–Not available. Push notifications inside the app.
HealthyAppIncluded. Your own text line in your area code. Clients reply by text and it lands in your inbox; your personal number stays private.
Programs, library, groups and habits
Trainerize + MyFitnessPalIncluded. Program builder, a large exercise library, groups, challenges, habits and streaks.
HealthyAppIncluded. The same, plus gym-aware workouts, swaps that keep the prescription, and habits like water and steps that tick themselves off.
Running the business
Taking payment
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal$Costs extra. Stripe payments are a $10/mo add-on.
HealthyAppIncluded. Stripe straight to your own account. Declined payments surface with the reason and a one-tap text.
Your brand
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal$Costs extra. A custom branded app is $169 on the Pro plan.
HealthyAppIncluded. Your name, logo and colours on the app and your own web address.
Bringing your clients over
Trainerize + MyFitnessPal½Partly. A full data export depends on your plan.
HealthyAppIncluded. We export your client records from Trainerize, MyFitnessPal or any system you use and set everyone up for you — messages, weigh-ins, photos and targets included.

An upgrade on the client

The best logging is behind their paywall.

Two places to look

Your brand, then someone else's.

Every meal sends your client into an app with another company's name, ads on the free tier, and its own goals and nudges — not yours.MyFitnessPal free tier

Switching

We move your clients for you — from whatever you use now.

Trainerize, MyFitnessPal, another coaching app, or a stack of spreadsheets: we export every client record from the systems you run today and set each person up in HealthyApp. Profiles, the whole message history, weigh-ins and body stats, progress photos, nutrition targets and food logs come with them. No export plan or upgrade needed on your side, and nobody gets an email until you're ready to invite them.

  • We do the export and the import — you don't touch a spreadsheet
  • Every client lands under the right coach, history intact
  • You check it over before a single client is invited
It was like magic! I logged into HealthyApp and all of my clients were waiting for me.
