You pay for a system that doesn't work
VirtuaGym is built for large chains. Not for you. And you feel it — in every feature that almost does what you need.
VirtuaGym is built for large gym chains.Gainz is built for you.
PT studios and small gyms deserve software that fits their scale — not a system designed for hundreds of locations and thousands of members.
No hidden costs. No fine print.
Eindelijk kan ik klanten coachen zoals ik zelf wil, zonder beperkingen opgelegd door gebrekkige software. Wekelijks programmeren bespaart me veel tijd door het handige design.

Sound familiar?
Support? Good luck.
Submit a ticket. Wait. Day two. Still nothing. Or a copy-paste answer that doesn't address your question. That's not how it should work.
The schedule falls short
You want more than a simple roster with session types and products. You want options to fine-tune time slots in your schedule, you want to program and periodize group classes that automatically link to time slots. Simply what you need to deliver quality — but VirtuaGym won't allow it.
Features are missing — and your feedback goes unheard
Nutrition. Progress tracking. Automations. Things that belong in the software. You give feedback. Nothing changes. The software doesn't grow with you as a coach.
“Bij virtuagym had ik vaak frustraties dat functies niet klopte. Je ziet duidelijk welke bedrijven het puur voor het geld doen; bij Gainz coach werken de juiste mensen eraan met verstand van zaken.”

“Ik ben bij Gainz terechtgekomen door de opleiding van menno henselmans. Daarvoor gebruikte ik de foodapp en virtuagym. Voor mij is Gainz nu super handig omdat je nu alles in 1 app vindt, het biedt zoveel mogelijkheden, wat het als coach zijnde gemakkelijker maakt en tijd bespaard. Super fijn om mee te werken. In de vorige apps waar ik mee werkte was het allemaal veel simplistischer, miste ik dingen wat ik nu bij gainz coach wel vindt, veel uitgebreider, echt een compleet plaatje”

Four core differences between Gainz and VirtuaGym
No tickets. No queues. Just WhatsApp.
With Gainz you have direct contact — via WhatsApp, with a response within 24 hours. Not a support department. Not a ticket system. A direct line to the people who built the software.
VirtuaGym users describe their support experience as: slow, frustrating, and "passed from pillar to post."
We believe that when your business is running, we need to be available. Period.
Your session types. Your prices. Your structure.
With VirtuaGym you're locked into their schedule structure. With Gainz you build the booking system the way you run your studio: custom session types (PT, group class, consult, intake), custom pricing per type, group programs that automatically link to bookable time slots.
Coaches switching from VirtuaGym consistently name scheduling flexibility as one of the biggest improvements. Not what the system allows — but what you need.
Switch without hassle — we handle it with you.
The biggest barrier to switching software isn't price. It's the fear of lost data, a difficult migration, and the risk that it still won't fit.
Gainz offers a migration service with guarantee: we actively help you move from VirtuaGym to Gainz — via WhatsApp, at your pace. And if it's not for you after the trial, there's no hassle. No fine print. No hard questions.
15 years on the floor. Every feature comes from somewhere.
Gainz was built by a coach with more than 15 years of experience. No feature exists because a product manager thought it up. Every choice was made from the question: what does a coach really need?
You notice it. In the workflows. In the flexibility. In the way the software works with you instead of against you.

What coaches say
“Ik gebruikte hiervoor Virtuagym. Gainz Coach geeft overzicht en het is gemakkelijk in gebruik. Het biedt eigenlijk alles wat je nodig hebt. Het combineert training, voeding en gedragscoaching in één platform, wat het erg geschikt maakt voor coaches die hun klanten op afstand begeleiden en overzicht willen houden over het volledige traject.”

From the founder
Why Gainz?
Gainz was born out of frustration; frustration that the coaching software available in the fitness industry is simply not good enough.
So inadequate, that across my 15+ years as a fitness coach, I never stopped relying on spreadsheets.
Not because spreadsheets are great, but because there simply was no software that did exactly what I and my clients needed.
Over the years I've tested almost every product on the international market, and every time I ran into the same problem. Software is built by developers, not by coaches. And you can tell.
Sure, there's software that does some things well. But 'good' isn't good enough — I need software that does EVERYTHING well. Not just nutrition, not just training, and not just admin and billing.
One system that handles EVERYTHING, without compromise.
Training, nutrition, recovery, progress tracking, and all your data should live in one system. One system that gives you the valuable insights you need to maximise your clients' progress.
That system is Gainz Coach — the all-in-one tool for fitness professionals. Whether you're a personal trainer, an online coach, or a gym owner: this is the tool for you.
I can say that with confidence because I built Gainz from the ground up myself. As a coach, for coaches. For my own clients, for your clients.
The bar is high: everything has to work fast and effortlessly, without headaches. I want to focus on coaching, without worrying about whether the admin is running correctly or whether payments are going through smoothly.
This is software for the professional who wants to deliver great coaching — without limitations, without hassle.
And that applies not just to the software, but to the entire development process. As a coach you stay closely involved in shaping the platform, with the opportunity to share feedback and ideas for new features at any time. Direct lines to me as the developer and genuine involvement — the way you'd expect from coaches working together.
No fluff, no nonsense — just direct contact with me, for the best possible results for your clients.
This is Gainz Coach: by coaches, for coaches.
And honestly? This is only the beginning.
