ptEnhance personal training software has more features and more comprehensive functionality than any other personal training software we have come across. Whilst others may do one or two things well ptEnhance personal training software offers a complete business solution in one product.
At ptEnhance we are not only industry leaders with years of experience, we also listen to our customers. The feedback of our users is incorporated in the updates we make to our personal training software so you can be sure of getting the best and staying on the cutting edge.
Who can use the ptEnhance personal training software?
The ptEnhance personal training software is just that 'software for personal trainers'. That of course means software for personal trainers to use with their clients.

What is the BMA rating I have heard about?
BMA stands for biomotor ability. All exercises in the ptEnhance library are rated using our patent pending BMA rating.
Exercises are given a rating from 0 to 5 stars on each of the biomotor abilities of flexibility, strength, speed and skill. The total of these is also given as an indicator of the overall conditioning demand for that exercise.
Using this rating system, a trainer can more accurately search the library and match exercises to the demands of the client.
Can clients use ptEnhance without a trainer?
No, the ptEnhance system is designed to enhance the relationship between a trainer and client, not replace it.
A professional is needed to prescribe exercise programs that are appropriate, provide instruction and monitor the progress of clients as they go.
