Where each one falls short

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

Kitman Labs

  • It produces no data itself, so a club without wearables, screening protocols or a testing routine buys an empty platform and blames the software.
  • Implementation is a project rather than a purchase, involving historical data migration and staff process change, and it commonly takes a season to reach useful adoption.
  • Pricing is organisational and multi-year, which puts it out of reach of clubs below a certain budget regardless of how much they would benefit.
  • Holding injury and treatment records makes the platform a store of health data about identified athletes, so the club needs role separation, retention rules and a process for responding when a player requests their record.
  • The acquisition of a competing athlete management platform leaves two products with overlapping purpose under one owner, and buyers on either should get a written answer on long-term development before committing.

Peloton

  • Monthly subscription required for access to classes and tracking features
  • Hardware equipment expensive and requires dedicated space in home
  • All-Access membership only works optimally with Peloton hardware, limiting flexibility
  • Price increases made in October 2025 have reduced affordability

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Kitman Labs: Do we need wearables to use it?

Not strictly, but most of the value comes from combining feeds. With only manual questionnaire entry the platform is an expensive form.

Peloton: How much is Peloton membership in 2026?

Peloton offers three membership tiers: All-Access at $49.99 per month, App+ at $28.99 per month, and App One at $15.99 per month (prices as of October 2025).

Kitman Labs: Can coaches see medical notes?

Access is role-based and should be configured so they cannot. Getting that separation right is a governance decision, not a default, and it is worth auditing after go-live.

Peloton: What is included in All-Access vs App+ membership?

All-Access integrates with Peloton hardware with on-screen performance metrics and leaderboard features. App+ provides access to full class library, live classes, tracking, and community features for use with your own equipment.

Kitman Labs: What happened with Smartabase?

Kitman Labs acquired the company behind it, putting two competing athlete management platforms under one owner. Ask which one your contract commits you to and where development is going.

Peloton: Is there a free trial for Peloton?

Yes, Peloton offers a 30-day free trial for new members. You can cancel anytime during the trial without being charged, but payment method is required at signup.
