The MyGymDesk team has launched Trainaq, a coaching platform for personal trainers, online coaches, freelancers and coaching teams. Coaches run their business in Trainaq Coach, on Android and in the browser, and every client follows their plan in the free Trainaq app on Android. Both apps are live on Google Play today.
MyGymDesk runs gyms: memberships, attendance, billing and the member app. Trainaq is built for a different kind of fitness work: coaching one client at a time, in person or online, with a plan, food targets, weekly check-ins and a direct line to the coach.
Key Takeaways
- Trainaq is a new coaching app from the MyGymDesk team for personal trainers, online coaches, freelancers and coaching teams.
- Coaches use Trainaq Coach on Android and the web; clients use the free Trainaq app on Android.
- Programs, meal plans, check-ins, chat, memberships and payments sit in one place instead of WhatsApp, spreadsheets and PDFs.
- Every Trainaq plan starts with a 7-day free trial, no card needed.
What is Trainaq?
Trainaq is a coaching app for fitness professionals who work with clients one to one. The coach builds workouts and meal plans, reviews weekly check-ins and chats with clients in Trainaq Coach. Each client opens the free Trainaq app to see today's workout, calorie targets and habits, log meals and stay in touch with their coach.
There are three parts:
- Trainaq Coach, the app for the coach, on Google Play.
- The web dashboard at app.trainaq.com, for the same work on a bigger screen.
- Trainaq, the free client app, on Google Play. A client joins with their coach's invite link.
You can see both apps, screen by screen, on our personal trainer app page and our diet and habit tracking app page.
Who is Trainaq for?
Trainaq is for anyone who coaches clients individually rather than running a gym floor:
- Personal trainers who coach clients in a gym, at home or in a park.
- Online coaches who train clients in other cities or countries.
- Freelance trainers and nutrition coaches who look after their own client list.
- Coaching teams, where an owner adds coaches, gives each one a role and assigns clients.
A gym that runs its members, attendance and front desk on MyGymDesk can keep doing exactly that. When trainers at the gym also coach their own private or online clients, Trainaq is built for that work.
What does a coach get in Trainaq Coach?
Trainaq Coach keeps each client's plan, progress and payments together, so a coach stops rebuilding the same information across chats, spreadsheets and PDF plans.
Programs and a 3D exercise library
Build single workouts and multi-week programs from Trainaq's library of 600+ exercises with 1,600+ HD 3D demo videos, made by Trainaq, or add your own exercises with a video or a YouTube link. Assign a program to one client or to many, and each client gets their own copy to adjust.
Nutrition with AI food photos
Set calorie and macro targets and write meal plans with Indian and global foods. Clients can log a meal from a photo: the AI reads the plate, and the client confirms the food and the amount before it is logged.
Check-ins, habits and progress
Weekly check-ins arrive in one review queue, with body weight, photos and answers. Habits such as water, steps and sleep sit on the client's Today screen, and the coach sees adherence and the weight trend over time.
AI drafts that the coach approves
On the web dashboard, AI drafts programs, workouts and 7-day meal plans for the coach to review and edit. Nothing reaches a client until the coach assigns it. AI drafts are on the Pro and Studio plans.
Memberships, dues and payments
Sell memberships and packages, record cash and part payments with dues, and issue an invoice or receipt for every payment. In India, clients pay online by UPI, card or net banking through Razorpay, with GST invoices.
Sessions, classes and teams
Book 1:1 sessions on any plan. On the Pro and Studio plans, run group classes with waitlists, add coaches to your team and assign clients to them.
What do clients get in the Trainaq app?
The Trainaq app is free for clients. It puts the coach's plan in their pocket:
- Today: calories and macros left, today's workout and the day's habits.
- Train: a workout player with each exercise's 3D demo, last time's numbers and personal records.
- Food: meal logging from a photo, checked by the client.
- Progress: the weekly check-in and the weight trend.
- Coach: messages and photos to and from the coach.
- Bookings and membership: classes and 1:1 sessions to book, sessions left and payment links.
Here is how a week can look. An online coach assigns a four-week strength program and a meal plan with daily calorie targets on Monday. The client trains from the Train tab with a 3D demo for every exercise, snaps lunch for the Food tab, and sends the weekly check-in on Sunday with their weight and photos. On Monday the coach sees every check-in in one queue, replies in chat, which the client reads in the Coach tab, and adjusts the next week.
How does Trainaq fit with MyGymDesk?
MyGymDesk is gym software. It handles member management, billing and invoicing, WhatsApp automation, QR and biometric attendance, class scheduling with waitlists, diet and workout plans for members, and a member app for plans, payments, QR passes and progress. Trainaq is coaching software: a program, food targets, check-ins and chat for each client.
So the choice is simple. A gym or fitness studio runs on MyGymDesk. A coach who trains clients one to one, in person or online, runs on Trainaq. Both come from the same team.
