The best free PT software

The best free PT software
to run your whole business.

The all-in-one platform for personal trainers and coaches. Bookings, Stripe payments, workouts, messaging and an AI assistant, completely free. No card, no client cap.

Takes about 2 minutes. No card, no client limit, and your Stripe payouts go straight to your own bank account.

Why is it free? We are fed up with big PT apps constantly raising prices and locking essential features behind expensive add-ons. FitDesk is changing the market by giving trainers everything they need to run and grow their business without stacking up monthly software costs.

Why trainers switch

Three things FitDesk changes fastest.

Save admin time

Clients book, reschedule and pay themselves. Reminders, invoices and plan assignment all run in the background.

  • Self-serve booking
  • Automatic reminders
  • Templates you reuse

Get paid faster

Take card, Apple Pay and bank payments up front. Arrears and overdue invoices are flagged before you lose the money.

  • Pay-before-booking packages
  • Overdue alerts
  • Payouts to your own bank

Retain more clients

Workouts, habits, progress photos and messaging keep clients engaged between sessions, and lapsed-client alerts catch drop-off early.

  • Daily habit nudges
  • Progress they can see
  • Lapsed-client alerts

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know.

Is FitDesk really free?

Yes. FitDesk is free because we are fed up with big PT apps constantly raising prices and locking essential features behind expensive add-ons. We want to help trainers keep their costs down and grow their business without needing another paid service.

How do payments work?

Trainers connect their own Stripe account. Clients pay in-app and funds go directly to your bank. FitDesk charges a 1% platform service fee on card payments, on top of Stripe's processing fees.

Do clients pay to use FitDesk?

No. Client accounts are free forever. Clients only pay their trainer for sessions and packages.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no contract and no billing period to wait out. You can stop using FitDesk whenever you like and export your data first.

Is my data secure?

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We support 2FA, role-based access and full GDPR export & deletion.

Online or in-person training?

Both. Schedule in-person sessions, online video calls and group sessions from the same calendar.
