Comparison

Hone vs. Trainerize

Trainerize gives personal trainers a way to coach clients remotely. Hone gives Pilates instructors what a personal training app was never designed for — reformer-specific programming, spring settings, and in-session tracking.

Clients exercising on reformer Pilates equipment
Hone

Hone is built around the unique demands of Pilates — equipment variations, spring resistance, class flow, and client health history. It's not a general fitness tool adapted for Pilates; it's designed from the ground up for how Pilates is actually taught.

Trainerize

Trainerize (now ABC Trainerize) is a personal training platform built for gym-based and online coaching. It has a general exercise library, workout builder, habit tracking, and client messaging — but no reformer context, spring settings, or Lagree-specific content.

The verdict

Trainerize is a strong remote coaching tool for personal trainers. If you're a Pilates instructor teaching on a reformer, it's the wrong category of tool — it has no concept of spring resistance, carriage positions, or contraindication-based sequencing. Hone does.
