Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Future

  • High monthly cost: $199/month is significantly more expensive than app-only alternatives and self-directed programs
  • No real-time coaching: lacks in-workout guidance from coaches during actual training sessions
  • Limited customer support: email-only support model without phone or chat options for immediate assistance
  • Requires wearable for full tracking: relies on Apple Watch or smartwatch for comprehensive activity and heart rate data
  • Binding coach relationship: switching coaches or ending relationships may impact workout continuity

Treatwell

  • Treatwell charges 35 percent commission on the first booking from a client introduced through its marketplace, and the rate is subject to location
  • Online prepayments carry an additional 2.5 percent processing fee plus VAT
  • All commissions and fees are subject to VAT on top of the quoted percentages
  • The commercial model depends on marketplace introductions: there is no commission on direct or social media bookings, so the software is free only where the salon brings its own clients
