Nishaana
The best free Trainerize alternative.
Trainerize is a paid platform for coaches managing clients — most solo lifters only end up on it because a trainer put them there. If you just want to train yourself, that's overkill. Nishaana is free forever for logging, programs and 1RM/TDEE/macro calculators — with free auto-progression, a daily 0–100 score, and a 30-second data import. All in your browser, no app store, no coach and no client seat required.
Four reasons to look elsewhere.
Built for the solo lifter, not clients
Trainerize (ABC Trainerize) is a business platform for personal trainers managing clients — you usually only end up on it because a coach put you there. Nishaana is built for the individual who wants to train themselves, free.
Free forever, no coach required
Trainerize's real plans are coach-side and cost money — Starter is around $40/mo and add-ons stack on top. If you just want to train yourself, that's overkill. Nishaana keeps logging, programs and calculators free forever.
Free progression + tools
Auto-progression and 1RM/TDEE/macro calculators are free in Nishaana, no coach and no subscription. Trainerize expects a trainer to program you, and its calculators live inside a paid workspace.
A daily score, free
A single 0–100 score blends training, nutrition and recovery into one number that keeps you consistent on your own — no coaching plan, no client seat, nothing to buy.
To be fair to Trainerize: it's a genuinely strong platform for coaches running a training business with many clients — client management, in-app messaging, a branded app. If that's you, it's a great tool. Nishaana is the better fit for the individual lifter who wants to train themselves for free; if you ever want an AI coach, that's on the roadmap too.

Common questions.
Is Trainerize free?
Trainerize has a free/Starter tier, but it is a coach-side business platform, not a consumer self-logging app. Real plans cost money: Starter is roughly $40/mo (3 clients), Premium about $105/mo (unlimited clients) and Ultimate around $329/mo, plus paid add-ons like advanced nutrition (≈$20–$45/mo) and video coaching (≈$10/mo). As a solo lifter you normally only use it because your coach put you on it.
What is the best free Trainerize alternative for training myself?
Nishaana is a strong free Trainerize alternative if you want to self-serve. Logging, built-in programs and free 1RM/TDEE/macro calculators are free forever with no caps, it runs fully in your browser and on desktop, and it adds free auto-progression and a daily 0–100 score — no coach and no client seat required.
Is there a free strength-training app without a coach?
Yes. Nishaana gives you free logging, 1,300+ exercises, built-in programs and free auto-progression that tells you the weight to beat next, so you can train seriously without paying for a coach or being added to a trainer’s roster. Strong and JEFIT also have solid free logging tiers.
Can I import my Trainerize data?
You can export your workout data from Trainerize and bring your history into Nishaana in about 30 seconds, so your exercises, workouts and personal records carry over.
How is Nishaana different from Trainerize?
Trainerize is genuinely strong software for coaches running a training business — client management, in-app messaging, a branded app. Nishaana is the opposite starting point: a web-first training OS built for the individual lifter to train themselves for free, with free calculators, free auto-progression and a daily 0–100 score. Different jobs — pick Trainerize if you coach clients, pick Nishaana if you’re the one training.
