For Boston personal trainers
This city squeezes trainers
from every side.
Rent that rivals Manhattan. Floor fees at someone else's gym. A cost of living among the highest in the nation. And on top of all of it, your coaching software wants $250 a month. We can't fix the rent. We can fix that last one.
The Boston squeeze
The rent
$0+
typical one-bedroom
Boston trades places with New York and San Francisco for the most expensive rent in America. Your apartment takes the first — and biggest — bite of every session you coach.
The floor fees
$500–$1,500
per month, to someone else's gym
Train clients out of a facility in Back Bay or Southie and you're paying rent twice — once to live here, once to work here. Every month starts four figures in the hole.
The cost of living
Top 3
highest COL in the nation
Groceries, parking, the T when it runs, insurance — this city is one of the most expensive places in the country to simply exist, before you've earned a dollar.
Then the software
$0/mo
is what the incumbents want
After the city takes its cut, your coaching platform wants a car payment too — plus add-ons. It's the one squeeze you can actually do something about. Today.
Software at $3,700 a year is
37 sessions you trained for free.
Call it $100 a session, Boston rates. The incumbent stack — Studio tier or Pro plus the add-ons — costs you 37 of those every year before you've paid a dollar of rent. TRAIN247 costs $29.76 a year. That's one client, one half-session, done for the year. Keep the other 36 and a half.
Built for how Boston trains
Hybrid coaching, built in
Client stuck on a delayed Red Line train? Traveling for work? Snowed in — it's Boston, it happens. They still get today's workout, log every set, and you still see it all. In-person on Tuesday, remote the rest of the week.
Program on the walk between sessions
Type “squat 3 x 10, RDL 3 x 8, sled push 6 x 20yd” on your phone between clients at the gym — it's a structured, loggable workout before you reach the water fountain. Programming shouldn't be harder than the workout.
Proof for a skeptical town
Boston clients are smart and they ask questions. Show them the answer: weight trends, volume charts, compliance percentages. The line going the right way closes the re-sign conversation for you.
Room to raise your floor
Software at $29.76 a year instead of $3,700 isn't just savings — it's pricing power. Undercut the big-box training packages or keep the margin. Your call, not your vendor's.
The city takes enough.
Your software shouldn't.
