If you’re using Trainerize or another personal training platform to manage your coaching business, you may have started exploring alternatives like FitFocus.
While the benefits of switching coaching platforms are clear, the actual process of moving can feel overwhelming.
Here’s the good news: transitioning from Trainerize to FitFocus doesn’t have to be complicated. The simplest approach, and the one that works best, is to move clients gradually as they finish their current programs.
Why gradual migration works better than a full transfer
When most coaches think about switching platforms, their first instinct is to transfer everything from Trainerize in one big push. However, this “all-at-once” method often creates additional problems, including duplicated work, unfinished programs, and unnecessary confusion for clients.
A much smoother way is to migrate clients gradually:
Allow clients to finish their current block in Trainerize - no disruptions mid-program.
Onboard them to FitFocus for their next plan - giving them a natural reset and fresh experience.
Rebuild only the content you need - FitFocus’s spreadsheet-style program builder makes this fast and flexible.
Repeat until all your clients are onboard - within a couple of cycles, everyone will be fully transitioned.
Key benefits of gradual migration
Gradual migration offers several advantages over a one-time transfer:
Seamless client experience - no interruptions or confusing platform switches mid-program.
A fresh start for programs - avoid dragging over outdated templates you’ll never use.
Less admin needed - no messy exports, imports, or manual data cleanup.
Smooth adoption: you and your clients can adapt to FitFocus’s features at a comfortable pace.
By migrating step by step, you avoid stress, downtime, and unnecessary complications.
Why bulk transfers aren’t the solution
Every personal training platform is unique and built differently. Because of this, there’s no way to bulk import programs, workout history, or client data from Trainerize into FitFocus.
That’s why the gradual onboarding method is the most practical approach. It keeps your account clean, relevant, and tailored to your coaching style without the clutter of unused templates or old client records.
