Leenen vs Trainerize
Trainerize did programming first. We do the rest as well.
Trainerize is mature for strength programming and has decent in-app messaging. Where we differ: your colour and logo included on every paid tier with no add-on, integrated Stripe payments, depth in nutrition + endurance, and modern coach-facing UI.
What Trainerize does well
Mature online-coaching platform with broad reach and a long history.
- Mature programming + exercise library
- In-app coach ↔ client messaging
- Big install base — clients may already have the app
- Integrations with most popular wearables
We mention what they're good at because pretending otherwise insults your intelligence. The rest of this page covers where we're different.
Where we're different
Your brand, included on every paid tier
Clients see your logo, your colours and your voice, set with a live preview. It's included on every paid tier with no add-on, and the Powered-by Leenen footer can be hidden on any paid plan.
Built-in payments via Stripe Connect
Charge clients (subscriptions, packages, one-offs) without leaving Leenen. Stripe handles KYC, daily payouts, refunds, disputes. Trainerize sends you to Stripe-the-product separately.
Nutrition + endurance treated as first-class
Macros, recipe library, the meal-pick UI, MFP import, ACWR, Riegel pace prediction, structured endurance workouts — all native, not third-party plugins.

When you should NOT switch
Trainerize is the right choice if your clients are heavily invested in the Trainerize app already, you don't need built-in payments / funnels / mass email, and you don't need depth in nutrition or endurance. We're built for coaches who want to consolidate 5–8 separate subscriptions into one branded platform — that's not everybody.
