Objective

Create a scalable, customizable mobile experience that could empower trainers to offer fully branded apps to their clients—without sacrificing performance or backend reliability.

Beyond basic workout tracking, the goal was to deliver a platform that gave trainers the freedom to design unique experiences for their clients, from branding and messaging to personalized coaching journeys. Trainerize needed a system that could support rapid growth, global expansion, and trainer-level customization, all while keeping the user experience seamless and intuitive.

Process

We started by analyzing the trainer and client user journeys, identifying friction points where technology could enhance engagement. Working closely with Trainerize’s product team, we defined key use cases: high-performance cross-platform app delivery, secure data separation for each trainer’s clients, and a powerful backend architecture to support custom branding and dynamic content delivery.

Collaboration was key. Our team developed a multi-tenant architecture that allowed each trainer to brand and customize their own app instance. We leveraged React Native to deliver a consistent experience across devices, and implemented AWS Lambda and CockroachDB for backend scalability. Simultaneously, we built a drag-and-drop customization engine so trainers could personalize the app’s onboarding, messaging, and coaching flows.

Our challenge was to blend powerful functionality with a user-friendly, personalized interface that felt unique to each trainers brand.

Outcome

The result was a white-labeled, scalable mobile app that empowers thousands of trainers globally. Trainers can now fully customize their app—brand colors, logos, onboarding, and personalized workouts—giving clients a seamless experience that drives engagement and loyalty.

Since rollout, Trainerize has seen a significant reduction in deployment time and a measurable increase in trainer satisfaction and client retention. By merging robust backend architecture with intuitive customization, we helped Trainerize scale its platform while giving every trainer the power to deliver their unique brand experience.
