You can switch from Trainerize to BrixFit in about a week. Export your client list as a CSV and save your key programs as PDFs, then on eligible plans the BrixFit team rebuilds your clients and programs for free. Invite clients in two batches, record a fresh baseline on their first BrixFit check-in, and retire Trainerize after one check-in cycle.
What Trainerize lets you export
According to Trainerize's help centre (checked on 30 September 2026):
- Client list as CSV. From the Clients tab you can export pending, active or deactivated clients. The CSV includes first name, last name, email, phone number and the assigned trainer.
- Workouts and programs as PDF. Programs cannot be exported as data or transferred, but you can open a workout or program and use the print option to save it as a PDF.
- Client history stays behind. Workout history, progress statistics, body measurements and adherence data cannot be exported.
That tells you how to plan the move: the client list and your program PDFs come across, and progress tracking restarts from a clean baseline.
What the BrixFit team migrates for you
| What you have in Trainerize | What you send us | Where it lands in BrixFit |
|---|---|---|
| Clients | Client CSV (active, and pending if you want them) | Client profiles, ready to invite |
| Programs and workouts | Program PDFs | Workout builder templates (1,500+ exercise library) |
| Meal plans and nutrition goals | Your plan PDFs or notes | Nutrition plans with meal options and substitutes (10M+ foods) |
| Check-in or consultation questions | A copy of your form questions | Custom check-in and onboarding forms |
| Measurements and history | Cannot be exported | Fresh baseline on the first BrixFit check-in |
The 7-day Trainerize to BrixFit checklist
- Day 1 - Walkthrough and exports. Book a BrixFit walkthrough, export your client CSV and save your most-used programs as PDFs.
- Day 2 - We build your account. Client profiles, workout templates, nutrition plans and your check-in form, set up by our team on eligible plans.
- Day 3 - Review. Open a few clients, adjust anything that does not feel like you, and use "View Portal" to see what clients see.
- Day 4 - Invite your most engaged clients. Ask them to include weight, measurements and photos on their first check-in.
- Day 5 - Invite everyone else. One short message, one download link.
- Day 6 - One check-in cycle. Activity alerts show who checked in and who has not opened the app yet.
- Day 7 - Retire Trainerize once every active client has logged in and checked in.
A message you can send clients:
From this week, your training, meals and check-ins move to the BrixFit app. Download it on iOS or Android and log in with the details I just emailed you. Your plan is already set up. On your first check-in, add your weight, measurements and a set of photos so we have a clean starting point.
Protect your clients' progress story
Because history cannot be exported from Trainerize, do two things before you cancel:
- Save a summary for each client: starting weight, current weight and one or two key numbers you track. Keep it as a note on their BrixFit profile.
- Take a new baseline: measurements and photos on the first BrixFit check-in. From there, BrixFit tracks it for you with graphs, and on paid plans, before/after photos with side-by-side and slider views.
What changes for your business
- Leads get a home. Lead forms with conditional questions, board, list and grid pipeline views, follow-ups and reminders. For a limited time, the BrixFit lead CRM is free with unlimited leads.
- Sales calls get easier. Lead Intel briefs you on each lead before the call, and AI health reports give prospects personalised free value.
- Payments stay yours. BrixFit never processes your client payments, so it takes no cut. You record payments to track revenue and renewals.
- Your brand leads. Clients see your branding after login, and your portal can run on your own domain, on eligible plans.
The full side-by-side is on our Trainerize alternative page. For the first week with each client in BrixFit, use our client onboarding template.
