A platform that lets personal trainers bid for clients has launched in Manchester.
Fit3r says it ‘flips the way people hire a personal trainer’.
Clients post their goal and budget, and coaches bid with a price and a plan written for that person.
The client then swipes through the offers to pick one.
Coaches do not pay for leads, according to Fit3r, and bidding is free.
Fit3r takes a 10% fee only when a coach is hired. Clients pay once and the coach is paid weekly.
Fit3r holds the money and releases it week by week as the coach delivers. If a client stops early, every week that has not started is refunded.
Fit3r said clients choose with everything in front of them, including reviews from other clients, why each coach thinks they are the right fit, and exactly what they would do and charge.
Alfonso Martinez del Rio, founder of Fit3r, said he built it because he wanted “to help coaches find clients, and to make choosing a coach transparent for clients”.
He said it is “an interactive space where coaches and clients both get a better experience, and clients get the right training”.
