Welcome to PT Distinction, the software voted the world leader in training and coaching software for personal trainers and fitness professionals.

PT Distinction is an incredibly simple software to navigate and to use, but it is unbelievably powerful and will help you guide as many clients as you would like to.

With high quality training and coaching. There's three different places you can add content. One is to your library.

This is a template library so will allow you to just pick and choose that content later on for using with your clients or your groups.

The second one is for your clients so directly in their dashboard you can just add content and that will be just for that client.

You can obviously choose from your library when adding for a client. The third place is in a group.

Now a group allows you to share content with as many clients as you like, all at the same time.

For example, if you wanted 100 clients to have a parque to fill out, then you just put it in a group, schedule it for when you'd like it and all your clients will fill it out.

So using my example client, I'm going to quickly show you how to add content for a client.

Navigation is simple. Use the search and type in whatever you would like.

That brings up my example client and I can go into their dashboard to add content.

For this client I just click the green, add an item and then it lets me choose from a program assessment, any coaching items I want, any type of tracking items I want, formal questionnaire or scheduled event.

I can click any of these and choose from my template library or create from scratch.

While everything there is very self explanatory. If you want more details on how to for example create a program, just come up and click on help and there's videos to help you with every detail.

If you wish to adding content for multiple clients at exactly the same time is done in exactly the same way but just using a group.

So go to navigation, type in my group, click on the one I want to go into the dashboard.

You'll see the dashboard looks very very similar and I click the green add an item button.

Once again I can choose from program assessment, coaching, tracking forms and questionnaires and scheduled events.

There is also a message center in the client and group dashboards so I can come over and click this icon to pre schedule any messages I want for individual clients or or for a large number of clients.

If I wish to to add content to my template library, I just click on library and it will give me the option of programs, exercises, assessments, assessment tests, coaching content forms and questionnaires and results tracking.

So very familiar options. I can click any one of these and once again click on the green add button.

As you can see from here, the library is packed already with loads of pre done contents that we have done for you.

So there's programs made by high quality trainers, inside coaching, there's coaching content made by high quality nutritionists and there is also pre made assessment templates, loads of exercises, loads of assessment tests, pre made forms and questionnaires, things like par Q, medical questionnaires, etc.

All done for you and ready to use with your clients straight away if you wish to.

Or. Or of course you can add your own if that's your preferred route. So now you know how to add content for your clients.

The next bit you want to do is check how your clients are doing and check what they've done from the content you've given them.

For that I'll come up to the Dashboard. The main dashboard shows the activity for all of your clients. So everything your clients are doing will come up into this client activity feed. Here you can filter for any specific items.

If you just wanted to check your client's programs, for example, you could click Programs or their habits.

You could click Habits and that would filter the activity for just those items.

Anything you click on gives you the details of what your client has done and you can expand for more information if you wish to.

Clicking this button would give more details over the longer term. The same with every kind of item you'll find in the activity.

Down the side you've got widgets which give great summaries of your client's program health and their adherence.

If you wish to see all of this great detail for just one specific client, then all you have to do is type the client's name into the search.

Clicking will take you into their dashboard and the activity pops up for just this client. So this will just this client's items that you can check and you can see all the details of by clicking just this client's program status and adherence.

Down the side there will also be a MyFitnessPal widget showing your clients MyFitnessPal adherence.

If they've linked that up in the integrations inside the client dashboard.

If you want to see your client schedule, this will show you everything you've scheduled for your client and your client's setup.

You can click those. This is everything that you've set up for your client.

If you wish to see all of the activity for clients in one of your groups, perhaps you've got a group program and you want to see how they're all doing together.

Well, search the group, click on it to go into the dashboard and there is the activity for all of the clients in that group and how they're doing with their activity.

So I'm sure you can see that the navigation of PT Distinction is incredibly easy.

You can click across the top or, or you can just do the search to find anything and anyone to give items to clients or groups or your library, you just click the green, add an item button and to check what your clients have done and how they're doing overall, you just go to the dashboards of either all your clients, a group of clients, or individual clients to see exactly how they've done.

And you can take that down to as much detail as you wish to see. All of this gives you a really good idea of the power of PT Distinction, but I'm sure also shows you how easy it is to use.

If there's anything that you want specific details on, then come up here and click on help and there's videos showing exactly how to do each individual thing.

If you want to really dive into PT Distinction and get the absolute best out of it, use all the automations and really grow your online training and online coaching business. And come down and you'll see our live masterclasses, which are excellent.

They take you through every step from beginning to being an absolute ninja on PT Distinction.

These are live classes so you can ask questions and set up everything as you go. So these are brilliant. Highly recommend doing those and the video guides, which are also in the help section.

So thank you for checking out PT Distinction. I hope you absolutely love it as much as all of the awesome trainers who have voted us as the best training and coaching software for fitness professionals across the world.
