Custom personal training app/portal with Notion & Softr

This is a comprehensive Notion and Softr template designed specifically for personal trainers. It streamlines client management while giving you complete control over your workflow. As both a fitness enthusiast and experienced developer, I've created numerous digital solutions for personal trainers using platforms like Notion, Coda, Airtable, and Softr. So, over time I have developed a few templates for Personal Trainers. This post is about a client portal template using Notion and Softr.

This template offers two implementation options:

  1. Use it exclusively within Notion for managing your business internally
  2. Combine it with Softr to create a dedicated client-facing platform

Notion functions as your backend system for data management, while Softr provides an intuitive, customizable interface for your clients. Plus, Softr comes with mobile accessibility through their Progressive web app.

If this sounds too much for your current needs and you are looking for a simpler system, check out the other template versions I have created and refined over the past few years:

Notion + Softr Personal Trainer Operating System#

Notion#

Notion serves as your central hub for managing all client and program data. You can access your information anytime, anywhere with an internet connection through the Notion mobile app or web interface. Key features include:

  • Building customized training programs
  • Instantly duplicating entire programs with one click (via the complementary add-on )
  • Designing individual training sessions within each program
  • Analyzing exercise volume trends weekly and overall
  • Monitoring athlete progress and performance

Softr#

Softr provides a user-friendly web and mobile experience for your clients. It acts as a front-end interface, displaying only relevant information from your Notion database to each client. Your athletes can easily:

  • View their upcoming training sessions
  • Browse through their program details
  • Track their performance metrics
  • Check off completed sessions

Complementary add-on (automation)#

The template includes an optional automation add-on that allows you to duplicate entire programs—including all sessions and exercises—with a single click. Once duplicated, you can modify each program copy independently to tailor it for specificity.
