FROM THE VAULT

Hear what trainers already on the platform have to say about building their business with TrainVault.

"Before TrainVault, I was spending more time marketing myself on Instagram than actually training. Now I get 4-5 qualified leads per week delivered straight to my profile. My income has tripled in eight months and I actually enjoy my work again."

KR
KEISHA R.

NASM-CPT, Pro Tier

"The platform tools are genuinely best-in-class. The workout builder, progress tracking, and video quality blow away anything I've used before. My clients notice the difference. And keeping 80% of my rate? That's unheard of in this industry."

DJ
DEVON J.

CSCS, Elite Tier

"I was skeptical about another 'trainer platform' but TrainVault is completely different. The community alone is worth it. Monthly workshops, a Slack channel with 500+ trainers sharing programming ideas and referrals. It genuinely feels like a team."

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Everything you need to know before applying. Still have questions? Reach out to our trainer support team.

TrainVault takes a flat 20% platform fee on all session revenue. This covers payment processing, client acquisition, scheduling infrastructure, video hosting, and platform maintenance. You keep 80% of every dollar you earn. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no tiered commission structures. What you see is what you get.
Payouts are processed every two weeks via direct deposit (ACH) to your linked bank account. You can also opt for weekly payouts on Pro and Elite tiers. Earnings are tracked in real-time on your dashboard. Clients are charged at the time of booking, so there is no chasing payments or dealing with no-shows.
When a client signs up on Unlocked, they fill out a detailed profile including goals, experience level, schedule preferences, budget, and personality style. Our algorithm matches them with trainers whose specialties, availability, and coaching style are the best fit. Higher-tier trainers get priority placement in matching results, which means more visibility and more bookings.
Absolutely. You can invite existing clients to your TrainVault profile at no additional cost. They will create an Unlocked account and book directly through you. Sessions with your existing clients are subject to the same 20% platform fee, but you gain access to all of the platform tools including scheduling, video sessions, progress tracking, and payment processing.
At minimum, you need a reliable internet connection (25+ Mbps recommended), a device with a camera (laptop, tablet, or phone), and a well-lit space where you can demonstrate exercises. We recommend an external webcam or phone mount for better angles, a ring light, and a Bluetooth microphone or headset. Our onboarding guide covers the full recommended setup.
Most applications are reviewed within 5-7 business days. The background check typically takes an additional 3-5 business days. From application to your first client booking, most trainers are up and running within 2-3 weeks. Elite tier applicants receive expedited review and white-glove onboarding support.
TrainVault is designed primarily for virtual training. However, if you and a client mutually agree to in-person sessions, we do not restrict that. In-person sessions booked through the platform are still subject to the 20% platform fee and require your liability insurance to cover in-person training. We recommend documenting any in-person arrangements clearly.
We accept certifications from NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, ACSM, and other nationally accredited certification bodies recognized by the NCCA (National Commission for Certifying Agencies). If your certification is from a body not listed, you can still apply and our team will evaluate it on a case-by-case basis. Specialty certifications (e.g., pre/postnatal, corrective exercise, nutrition coaching) are a plus but not required.
No. TrainVault does not require exclusivity. You are free to train clients independently, work with other platforms, or maintain your own private training business outside of TrainVault. We believe the best way to retain great trainers is by building a great platform, not by locking you in with restrictive contracts.
All trainers get access to our support team via email and in-app chat. Pro and Elite trainers get priority support with faster response times. Beyond technical support, we offer monthly continuing education workshops, quarterly trainer roundtables, an annual TrainVault Summit, a private community for peer networking, and an extensive resource library covering business development, programming, and client retention.
