How these high-tech gyms can level up your fitness routine in Vancouver

Vancouverites know the importance of keeping up with a fitness plan. Whether counting those steps on your Apple Watch or manually updating your trainer’s convoluted spreadsheet, keeping track of your progress can be daunting, especially when your workout goals are on the line.

But, thanks to a revolutionary tech platform, Vancouver gyms are making it easier for the fitness-focused to work towards being their best selves, both within and outside the studio.

Introducing ABC Trainerize, a fitness coaching app that’s helping gyms around the world deliver an engaging and motivating workout experience. Part of ABC Fitness, this app is a global leader in fitness software — with an office located right here in Yaletown!

Through a variety of features and offerings, the ABC Trainerize platform offers gyms a hybrid approach that combines in-person training with an online community, delivering programming, tracking progress and biometrics, and enabling direct messaging with coaches. As a client, this means you’ll have access to workouts and coaching right at your fingertips.

Helping you keep your fitness goals on track

For Senior Coach Nathan Farrish at Vancouver’s Kin Culture, the most important thing about ABC Trainerize is helping his clients stay on track with their fitness goals and maintain participation in their fitness journey.

“Since we prioritize giving members an exceptional training experience in person, and our community is what sets us apart, the app acts as a second home, a way to extend that community,” Farrish tells Daily Hive. “We also frame it as a way of making their efforts tangible. Once they see all their progress [tracked in the app] week over week, it makes their fitness journey more rewarding.”

It’s especially handy for Farrish’s new clients, who don’t often know the fundamentals of working out. The app helps them stay connected to answer any questions they may have, and also empowers Farrish with a fuller sense of their fitness routine, not just their gym schedule.

“With the app, we can give them a customized program that includes the activities they love outside of the gym. Hikers, runners, cyclists, volleyball players, or just fitness enthusiasts — they love knowing how to take care of their bodies so they can stay active without injury.”

Make the most out of your gym membership

Giving clients a holistic approach to personal training is vital to Chris Smith, President and CEO of Vancouver’s Fitness World — motivating clients to make healthier choices both in and out of the gym to help reach their fitness goals.

“Fitness World offers our communities a high-value, low-cost fitness solution. ABC Trainerize is another way of ensuring that our community and members are getting the most out of their membership,” says Smith.

At Fitness World, all personal-training clients gain access to a branded version of the ABC Trainerize app. When you train at Fitness World, you’ll receive direct access to workout programs, habit tracking, and one-to-one communication with your trainer, right in the app.

“ABC Trainerize provides a platform through your local gym, such as Fitness World, that takes your in-person training program beyond the gym and into your everyday life, giving you ultimate support on your fitness journey,” notes Smith.

Over at Kojo Gyasi’s Total PKG, fitness goes beyond workouts and training to extend into an overall lifestyle change — he uses ABC Trainerize to help his clients do just that.

Not only are clients able to use the app to connect with their personal stats and progress trends, but Total PKG members also receive access to ABC Trainerize’s nutrition coaching features like the Smart Meal Planner. This helps them learn more about healthy food options to optimize their nutrition and keep them on track to crush their fitness goals

“A larger number of clients have been able to progress since they began using the ABC Trainerize app,” says Gyasi. “I’ve used the Smart Meal Planner feature with the app as well and clients have loved the variation they get with the meals. This helps adherence and ultimately helps them reach their goals!”

On the benefits of the app for fitness entrepreneurs, Gyasi didn’t mince words:

“ABC Trainerize has been an absolute GAME CHANGER for our business! It has helped clients be more accountable and trainers be able to help their clients more efficiently. [Using] the personalized app has been one of the best things I’ve ever done.”
