PT Distinction is an online coaching platform built around behavior change and habit tracking. We are studio operations software for in-person trainers. Every plan includes unlimited clients, no per-client tier creep.
PT Distinction is built for online coaches running multi-month behavior-change interventions. Habit tracking, nutrition logging, photo progress check-ins, weekly client review cycles. It is particularly established in the UK and Australia, where the remote-coaching model fits both the market and the geography. For a coach running 10 to 100 clients on structured habit and nutrition programs, PT Distinction's primitives are exactly right.
An in-person studio does not run an intervention. It runs a calendar. The client books, shows up, draws a session from their package, books the next one. That is a different unit of work, and it needs different software. My Training Studio is built around the calendar, the package, and the trainer-client relationship that gets built session by session, not through weekly check-ins.
PT Distinction is strong on programming and habit work. We do not try to compete with that. Here is the honest split.

PT Distinction is built for online and hybrid coaches who design programs, run habit-tracking interventions, and work with clients remotely. It is well-regarded for behavior change and adherence tooling. For in-person studios where the unit of work is a session on the calendar and a package drawn down on attendance, the core primitives are different. My Training Studio is built around in-person training operations: booking, packages, commissions, and payments.
First-class 1-on-1 in-person booking with trainer conflict detection, session-package balance tracking with FIFO drawdown across overlapping packages, contract-to-schedule linking, sessions-remaining alerts, trainer commission tracking and payouts, and unlimited clients on every plan with no per-client fees.
PT Distinction prices in tiers based on the number of active clients, so the cost grows as your roster grows. My Training Studio is a flat fee per studio with unlimited clients on every plan. PT Distinction is cheaper at very low client counts; MTS is cheaper at studio scale and stays flat as you grow.
