The My PT Hub alternative with courses and membership tiers built in
My PT Hub runs your training — and since 2026, a community feed too. What it still can't do is teach and tier: no client courses, no classroom, no free-vs-paid membership levels. Perform gives you the training essentials, the feed, and the classroom and membership tiers that turn a feed into a business.
From $29/mo, flat. No client caps to outgrow.
My PT Hub vs Perform, in one paragraph
My PT Hub (sometimes just "PT Hub") is an established all-in-one training platform: programming, client logging, nutrition with barcode scanning, automated check-ins, habits, payments, and — since early 2026 — Communities, a genuinely good branded feed with posts, polls, and threaded replies. Credit where due: that's more community than any other training platform has built. What it still doesn't have is the structure around the feed: no courses or classroom for clients, and no membership tiers, so you can't run structured education or gate free members from paying clients. And its pricing has a cliff — a small entry plan capped at a handful of clients, then a jump straight to the unlimited tier. Perform covers the training essentials, the feed, and builds in the courses, tiers, and flat pricing.
My PT Hub earned real credit here
Credit first, because it's deserved — and in one case, overdue from the whole category.
Communities is the real thing
In 2026 My PT Hub shipped a fully branded community feed: multiple communities, posts with images and video, comments, reactions, polls, @mentions, threaded replies, pinned announcements. No other training-first platform has built anything this complete. If you've read comparison pages claiming training apps "have no community" — this one now does.
The all-in-one scope is broad and battle-tested
Programming, nutrition with a barcode scanner and MyFitnessPal sync, automated check-ins with AI-assisted feedback, habit tracking, scheduling, and in-app client payments, with thousands of reviews behind it. For a coach who wants everything in one subscription, the scope is genuinely wide.
Where it stops: a feed without a classroom or tiers
Communities solved the "where do my clients hang out" problem. What it didn't solve is the structure a coaching business runs on:
No courses, no classroom
There are no client-facing courses or lessons — your onboarding, technique library, and education still live in PDFs, email attachments, and unlisted YouTube links. A feed scrolls; a classroom teaches. Clients need both.
No membership tiers
Communities has privacy controls, but there's no way to say "free members see this, paying clients get that" across your content. A free community that warms people up and upsells into paid coaching isn't something you can structure inside the app.
The feed doesn't carry your training
There's no bridge from community content to programming — no way for a client to open a lesson and start the training block that goes with it. The feed, the education, and the training stay three separate things.
The pricing cliff punishes growth
The entry plan caps you at a small handful of clients (and a workout limit), and the only step up is the unlimited tier at more than double the price. Their own reviewers describe being forced into the higher tier just to add more clients. Growth shouldn't feel like a penalty.
A feed alone doesn't retain — structure does
A community feed is the start of retention, not the whole of it. Here's what the feed-only version of community can't do:
Onboarding stays manual
Every new client gets the same welcome DM, the same PDF, the same "start here" post that scrolled away last week. A classroom gives them a course: lesson one, lesson two, progress tracked, nothing lost to the scroll.
There's no ladder to climb
With membership tiers, a free member can see the community, hit a locked course, and upgrade to reach it. Without tiers, everyone sees the same thing — so the feed can't sell your coaching for you.
Engagement without direction
Posts and polls keep people talking, but talking isn't progressing. Courses with progress tracking — and training programs attached to them — turn engagement into results, and results into renewals.
The bill has a cliff in it
My PT Hub's entry plan caps how many clients you can take — a genuinely small number — and the next step is the unlimited tier at more than double the price, with nothing in between. Several headline features (the white-label app, AI check-in feedback, Zapier) are monthly add-ons on top. There's nothing dishonest in that model, but it means the moment your roster grows past a handful, your software bill more than doubles in one step. Growing your roster shouldn't come with a cliff.
What Perform is: the training essentials, plus the structure that retains
Perform isn't a community platform hoping you won't ask about workouts, and it isn't a training app with a chat tab bolted on. It's both halves of a coaching business in one place, on web and a native mobile app.
The training half, at parity
- Workout programming with an exercise library and demo videos
- Client-side logging of sets, reps, and load, visible to you
- Nutrition: 1M-food barcode database, recipe builder, food diary
- Custom check-ins with progress photos and response history
- Health metrics and habit tracking
- Strava, Apple Health, Health Connect, and Garmin integrations
The half My PT Hub only started
- Community feed with posts, comments, and reactions
- Classroom with structured courses and lessons
- Calendar with events and live calls
- Group chat and direct messages
- Broadcasts to reach every member at once
- Membership tiers that gate content across every surface
Bridge #1: courses that carry programs
Attach a training program to a course, and clients assign it to themselves as they work through the lessons. Your education and your programming stop being two products in two apps. The classroom delivers the training.
Bridge #2: tiers that gate everything
One membership tier gates courses, chat, events, and training programs together, so "free community member" vs "paying client" is a single switch across every surface, not a rule you re-build per app.
The feed your clients post in, the classroom that keeps them

My PT Hub vs Perform, for a coaching business
An honest read, including the rows My PT Hub wins — and a community-feed row that, unusually for this category, both platforms genuinely have. The short version: training and the feed are parity, the structure (courses, tiers, bridges) is ours, and the extras (payments, white-label, integrations) are theirs today.

Where My PT Hub still wins
No tool wins everything, and pretending otherwise would make the rest of this page worthless. If these are what matter most to you, pick My PT Hub:
In-app client payments
One-off and recurring payments built in, so clients can pay you where they train. Perform doesn't process client payments — you keep charging clients however you already do.
A white-label app of your own
A custom-branded or fully white-label app is available as an add-on. Perform gives you a custom URL on Pro, not your own app-store listing. If your brand needs its own icon on your clients' home screens, My PT Hub is the stronger pick.
Ecosystem and track record
Thousands of directory reviews, years in market, MyFitnessPal sync, and a Zapier add-on connecting to thousands of apps. Perform is early-access by comparison: fewer miles on it, and in exchange you get direct input on the roadmap and a founder who answers your messages.
Pricing, plainly
Perform is $29/month on Starter (up to 10 members) or $99/month on Pro (unlimited members and coaches, custom URL). Everything on this page is included on every plan — the feed, the courses, the tiers, the training — with no add-ons and no client-count cliff between you and growth. Your clients don't pay Perform anything (they don't pay My PT Hub either; that's normal, not a selling point).
A note from the founder
I build Perform, and I answer the messages myself. When a coach asks for something, the reply comes from the person who writes the code, which is why a request like nutrition tracking shipped in five days instead of landing on a roadmap slide.
This page tries to be fair to My PT Hub — fairer than most comparison pages will be, because Communities genuinely deserves the credit. If what you need most is in-app payments or a white-label app, pick it and be happy. But if you've felt the gap between a feed and a business — no courses, no tiers, a pricing cliff waiting a few clients in — that gap is exactly why Perform exists. Message me and I'll give you a straight answer either way.
— Tom, founder of Perform
Switching from My PT Hub, honestly
Migration pages usually promise everything comes across in one click. Here's what actually happens:
No one-click importer
Moving means re-creating your programs, content, and courses in Perform. We do that with you personally: early-stage means your migration gets founder attention, not a ticket queue.
What can't move
Workouts and check-ins your clients logged in My PT Hub stay in My PT Hub; their logging in Perform starts fresh. Anything you build in Perform stays yours, and if you ever leave, we'll help you take your data with you.
What your clients experience
They tap an invite link, create a free account, and download the app. Their program, the community, and your courses are waiting on the other side. No payment details, ever.
Comparing My PT Hub and Trainerize? Read this first.
A lot of coaches land here mid-way through comparing My PT Hub and Trainerize, so here's the honest version of that comparison too. Both are mature, training-first platforms with programming, nutrition, check-ins, habits, and messaging. Trainerize leans into scale and granularity — a huge ecosystem, broad wearable integrations, challenges with leaderboards, an AI workout builder, and pricing that steps by client count, with several features as paid add-ons. My PT Hub leans into simplicity and — since 2026 — community: unlimited clients on its main tier, in-app payments included, and Communities, the best community feed in the training category. Its trade-off is the entry-plan client cap with nothing between it and the unlimited tier.
Here's what neither has: a client-facing classroom with courses and lessons, or membership tiers that gate content — so structured education and a free-to-paid funnel live outside the app on both. If that's the gap that brought you to a comparison page in the first place, the real answer might not be either of them. That's the slot Perform is built for: the training essentials at parity, a community feed, and the courses and tier-gated memberships in the same product.
