PT Client Handoff.
An app idea for gyms and fitness studios.
A shared client record that lets the next trainer pick up exactly where the last one stopped, including injuries, notes and progress.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Independent gyms with several trainers who share or reassign clients.
- The problem
- Trainers keep notes in their own notebooks or Apple Notes, so when a client moves to another trainer the history walks out the door. Owners have no way to hand over injury history or programming intent in a form the next trainer will actually read.
- The gap
- Existing tools like TrueCoach and Gymkee are built for one trainer running their own book of clients. None of the results show a handoff view where a second trainer inherits the full note and injury history mid-relationship.
- Already out there
- TrueCoach truecoach.co

- The big assumption
- That gym owners care enough about handoff quality to pay, rather than letting each trainer keep their own notes.
- Test it this week
- Ask five gym owners with multiple trainers whether a client has ever changed trainers and what happened to the notes. Offer to set up a shared handoff sheet for one client and see if they use it.
