About Us
TrainDojo was born from real-world frustration: seeing talented coaches and trainers waste precious hours with Excel sheets, PDFs, and scattered chats instead of focusing on what they do best — coaching.
How the idea was born
It all started by observing how coaches and personal trainers truly work in their everyday lives. Not in polished studio promos — in real daily gym grind: spreadsheets named workout_luke_v4_final_ok.xlsx, WhatsApp screenshots of sessions, and lost scribbles on paper notes.
The paradox was obvious: professionals with years of education and certifications using 1990s office software to handle one of the most technical and interpersonal jobs in existence. Not because they wanted to, but because there was no real alternative tailored to the way they work.
The real problem
- Excel files multiplying uncontrollably
- Feedback lost in chats with hundreds of messages
- No clear overview of athlete progress
- Time wasted on admin tasks instead of coaching
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: give coaches their time back. We don't want to replace the Coach's craft — we want to free them from all administrative overhead that shouldn't exist, so they can focus on what truly matters: athlete relationships and coaching excellence.
TrainDojo is not a generic CRM, nor a fitness social network, nor a DIY workout app. It is a technical tool crafted specifically for the real-world workflow between coaches (whom we call Maestro) and athletes (whom we call Athletes) within a training space (the Dojo): from routine creation to execution, feedback, and progression updates.
Who TrainDojo is for
The Coach & Assistant
Personal trainers, strength coaches, and dojo instructors (judo, BJJ, CrossFit, gymnastics) managing multiple athletes simultaneously who need a clean, structured system to handle routines, sessions, and feedback without losing track.
The Athlete
Anyone training under a coach who wants to ditch printed paper on the gym floor or stop hunting for today's routine in a PDF emailed three weeks ago. With TrainDojo, plans are always up-to-date and accessible from smartphones.
The Independent Athlete
Anyone training on their own who wants to design routines and log performance in a structured manner. Even without a coach, TrainDojo provides every tool needed to plan and track progress independently.
Our technological approach
TrainDojo is built on modern, dependable technologies: Next.js for a fast, accessible interface on any device, Firebase for secure real-time data handling, and an architecture engineered to work seamlessly even in low-connectivity conditions — because gyms don't always have flawless Wi-Fi.
Privacy and data security are top priorities. Each Dojo is an isolated environment: a Coach only sees their athletes, and an athlete only sees their own data. We never sell data to third parties, nor do we use training logs for advertising.
Artificial Intelligence is available yet optional, powered by a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model that keeps you in complete control: no hidden markups, and no artificial limits imposed on your AI usage.
Our values
Simplicity without compromise
A tool that is easy to use doesn't have to be limited. TrainDojo is intuitive for athletes and powerful for coaches.
Transparent pricing
Pay only for active athletes who actually train. No hidden charges, and your data is never held hostage if you leave.
Focus on real value
We don't add features just because they look trendy. Everything in TrainDojo exists because it solves a tangible problem for coaches.
Athlete data continuity
Training data belongs to the athlete. If they switch dojos or coaches, their historical log remains theirs forever.
The Team Behind TrainDojo
The TrainDojo Team
Founded by a software engineer with a deep passion for strength training and martial arts. The idea was forged directly on the gym floor, living through the friction of fragmented PDFs, WhatsApp messages, and spreadsheets breaking with every update.
Today, TrainDojo is maintained by professionals who unite engineering rigor with the real needs of athletic conditioning. Every single line of code, every blog article, and every new feature emerges from direct dialogue with coaches and trainers. We test everything in the field: that is our guarantee of quality and expertise (E-E-A-T).
Who uses TrainDojo
We are proud to support dojos, CrossFit boxes, weightlifting centers, and personal trainers across the territory. Hundreds of athletes rely on our platform daily to track their physical development.
What Coaches say
“Before, I used three different tools: one for invoices, one for PDF routines, and WhatsApp for feedback. TrainDojo centralized everything. Now I save at least 10 hours a week of pure data-entry.”
— Marco R., Head Coach Powerlifting
“My athletes love logging their lifted weights directly in the app on the gym floor. Automated 1RM and volume calculations let me adjust routines in real time.”
— Giulia C., Online Personal Trainer
