Why Trainers Join The Training Grounds

Built for trainers who want to focus on training.

TTG is the first platform of its kind in New Zealand, and it is designed to give independent trainers everything they need in one spot.

🎯

Get qualified leads

Clients come to TTG already searching for a trainer. They find your profile, see your style and pricing, and book. No chasing, no cold outreach.

⚡

Skip the admin

Bookings, payments, cancellations, reminders: all handled. Payment and Calendar management is built right in, so you stop chasing money and juggling availability.

📱

A profile that works for you

A clean, professional page showcasing your specialties, qualifications, and reviews without needing to build (or pay for) your own website.

Common Questions

Everything you might be wondering.

The application form takes about 5 minutes. We typically review applications within 24 hours. Once approved, getting your profile live takes another 3-5 days while we collect your photos, bio, and set up Stripe and Calendly with you.
No. You set your own prices and you keep what you earn. We charge a flat monthly subscription plus a small transaction fee that covers Stripe payment processing... and that's it. We don't believe in taking a slice of every session you run.
Absolutely. Your existing clients are yours. TTG is here to help you grow, not lock you in or restrict who you train. You can use TTG to manage all your bookings and payments, even for clients you bring to the platform yourself.
REPs registration, insurance, and a recognised qualification are non-negotiable, they protect you, your clients, and as a result, us. If you're missing one (e.g. your first aid has expired), still apply and let us know. We can often work with you while you renew.
Clients browse our trainer directory and filter by location, specialty, gym, and price. Your profile shows your photo, bio, qualifications, specialties, pricing, and reviews. When they find you, they book directly through your profile.
Yes of course. There's no lock-in. Cancel any time and we'll keep your profile live until the end of your billing period. If you want to come back one day, we'd love to have you.
Reach out to us at info@thetraininggrounds.co.nz and we'll get back to you within a business day. We're also able to call and help with anything else!
