Scheduling is a nightmare
Your calendar lives in your head. Clients book by text, call, email. Double bookings happen. You forget cancellations.
Personal trainers spend 15 hours a week on bookings, invoices, reminders, and follow-ups. Vex automates the whole loop — so you focus on coaching, not paperwork.
Booking by text. Reminders by memory. Invoicing by Venmo. There’s a better way.
Your calendar lives in your head. Clients book by text, call, email. Double bookings happen. You forget cancellations.
30–40% no-show rate without reminders. Each missed session is $75–150 walking out the door. You can’t fill the slot last minute.
You invoice monthly. Clients pay by check, Venmo, Zelle. You chase the slow ones. No recurring billing, no automation.
Session ends. You meant to send homework. Tomorrow comes. Client doesn’t practice. Progress stalls. They churn.
Booking, reminders, payments, programs, and progress in one place.
Share a link. Clients pick a slot. You get notified. No back-and-forth texting. Buffer time and breaks built in.
24-hour and 2-hour reminders sent automatically. Reduces no-shows 40–50%. That’s real money back.
Clients see upcoming sessions, past workouts, progress metrics, billing. Increases engagement and retention.
Assign programs post-session. Clients see exercises with form videos. Mark complete. You track compliance.
Charge monthly or weekly retainers automatically. No manual invoicing. Payments hit your account next day.
Weight, body composition, lifts — tracked over time. Clients see results. Motivation goes up. Churn goes down.
Trainerize is for programming. Mindbody is for studios. Vex is for the solo coach who does it all.
