Community app for coaches and gyms
Posts, polls, challenges and weekly leaderboards next to the workouts, check-ins and memberships they come from. One app for coaches, gyms and the people they train.
Trainera Community is a private, members-only feed built into Trainera, the coaching and gym platform. Coaches and gyms post updates, photos, videos, polls and announcements, and members react, comment and mention each other on the web and in the Trainera app for iOS and Android.
Automatic posts come from real training data, such as personal records, workout milestones and streaks, so the feed stays active without extra work.
Text posts with up to 10 photos or one video. Members can post too, or you limit posting to staff and trainers.
Up to 10 options, multiple choice and a closing time.
Staff-only announcements and up to 5 pinned posts at the top of the feed.
Seven reactions, comments with replies, and @mentions that notify the member.
Boards for workouts, training volume and habits, plus visits for gyms. Members opt in, and every Monday the top three are posted.
Ranked challenges or a target to reach, on the same metrics. Gyms can limit a challenge to chosen membership packages.
Personal records, workout milestones, streaks, birthdays, anniversaries and a weekly welcome for new members. Gyms add visit milestones and a daily activity count.
One-off and weekly recurring posts, with ready templates such as Monday goal and Weekend reminder.
A moderation queue and log, AI moderation, blocked words and links, approval of new members' posts for their first 7 days, suspensions with appeals, and block and mute.
Posts, comments, reactions and views over 7 or 30 days, your most active members, the best hours to post and posts nobody answered.
A client coached by a trainer who also trains at a gym sees both communities. A switcher at the top of the feed moves between them.
Nothing is created for you. Each coach or gym switches their community on, pauses it or turns it off from the dashboard.
Members join and accept your rules first. Surnames show as an initial by default, and gyms can open the community only to chosen membership packages.
Push notifications for replies, mentions, announcements and a daily digest. Each member picks all, mentions only or off.
The full feed and every owner tool: moderation, schedule, challenges, automatic posts and insights.
The Trainera app, with push notifications and live updates as posts and comments arrive.
The same app language your clients already use for training and nutrition.

A private, members-only feed inside Trainera. Coaches and gyms post updates, photos, videos, polls and announcements, and members react, comment and mention each other. Automatic posts celebrate personal records, milestones and streaks, and weekly leaderboards and challenges use real training data.
For trainers, the Community feed is included on Pro, Business, and Enterprise, and challenges, leaderboards, automatic posts and scheduled posts on Business and Enterprise. For gyms, the feed is included on Core, White Label, Studio, and Enterprise, and the full set on Studio and Enterprise. The pricing page lists every plan and price per country.
Yes. A client who trains at a gym and is coached by a trainer on Trainera sees both communities in the same app, with a switcher at the top of the feed.
Yes. A community is private by default: members join, accept the rules and see only the community of their own coach or gym. Owners decide who can post, and gyms can open it only to chosen membership packages.
Owners get a moderation queue and log, AI moderation, a blocked word list, link and contact blocking, approval of new members' posts for their first 7 days, and suspensions with appeals. A post is hidden automatically after 3 reports, and members can block or mute each other.
On the web and in the Trainera app for iOS and Android, with push notifications. Members use the same account they train with.
Yes, when automatic posts are included in your plan. Trainera posts personal records, workout milestones, streaks, a weekly welcome for new members and Monday winners. Birthdays and anniversaries are posted only for members who opt in, and gyms can add visit milestones and a daily activity count.
Not for your clients or members. Trainera Community sits next to the workouts, check-ins and memberships it draws from, so leaderboards and automatic posts use real training data. A separate community platform can still make sense for a paid course business open to the public.
