NForge vs My PT Hub
LOOKING FOR A MY PT HUB
ALTERNATIVE?
My PT Hub now runs three tiers from £20 to £199/month — and the £20 Starter caps you at 3 clients. Live video still means Zoom or Facebook Live, and its only AI writes check-in feedback. NForge is free with native video, safety-reviewed AI programme generation, and a public marketplace.

The gap
WHAT YOU GET ON NFORGE THAT MY PT HUB DOESN'T OFFER
AI that writes the programme, not just the check-in reply
My PT Hub's Check-Ins AI (£9/mo add-on) summarises client progress and drafts feedback. It does not write programmes. Forge AI generates the complete workout and nutrition plan — safety-screened, independently reviewed, and approved by you — included free.
Native live video, no Zoom dependency
My PT Hub schedules live streams through Zoom or Facebook Live — another subscription, another set of links, clients leaving the platform. NForge's HD video for up to 50 is built in, with booking and payment on the same link.
A directory where new clients actually find you
My PT Hub's "marketplace" is a template library for trainers, and its shopfront only works if you send people to it. NForge lists you in a public, searchable coach directory alongside your storefront — discovery without ad spend.
Free instead of £20-199 a month
The £20 Starter caps you at 3 clients and 50 plans; unlimited starts at £59; the full stack is £199. NForge is free with unlimited everything — 7.9% only when a client pays you.
To be fair: My PT Hub remains the breadth-for-a-flat-price leader: built-in nutrition with a huge food database, session and class bookings with packages, and a branded shopfront (MySite) where coaches can sell packages online. At £59 for unlimited clients it's fair value — the gaps are native video, real AI generation, and public discovery.
Why trainers switch
MY PT HUB VS NFORGE — THE REAL DIFFERENCES
Monthly fees before you earn anything
The problem
My PT Hub's pricing now runs three tiers: Starter at £20/month capped at 3 clients and 50 plans, Premium at £59/month for unlimited, and Ultimate at £199/month with the add-ons bundled. Extra trainers cost £10/month each, the white-label app £125/month. For trainers starting out or in a quiet period, that's fixed cost with zero flexibility.
NForge's approach
NForge is completely free. No monthly fees, no upfront costs, no annual commitment. You only pay 7.9% when clients pay you. Quiet month? You pay nothing.
Live video requires third-party tools
The problem
My PT Hub supports live streaming, but only through third-party integrations like Zoom or Facebook Live. You need a separate Zoom subscription, manage links across platforms, and your clients leave the My PT Hub experience to join a call.
NForge's approach
NForge has native HD video built directly into the app for up to 50 participants. Schedule a class, share the link, collect payment, and host, all in one place. Clients join via a browser link with no third-party app needed.
The AI answers check-ins; it doesn't coach
The problem
My PT Hub's AI story is Check-Ins AI, a £9/month add-on that analyses client check-ins and drafts personalised feedback. Useful — but it doesn't write workouts, doesn't build meal plans, and My PT Hub's own blog points trainers at third-party tools for programme generation.
NForge's approach
Forge AI turns a short intake into a complete programme: up to 12 weeks of progressive training plus nutrition with daily targets and portioned meals, screened for allergies, injuries and conditions, and re-checked by an independent AI review before you approve it. Included free.
Your clients need to download an app
The problem
My PT Hub requires clients to install the My PT Hub app to access their workouts, nutrition plans, and training content. Every new client means another "download this app" conversation, adding friction to the onboarding process.
NForge's approach
NForge delivers programmes as professional PDFs and clients join live classes via a browser link. No downloads, no setup, no friction. Clients just click and go.
