Personal trainer software,
priced in New Zealand dollars.
Most personal trainer software is American or British. It bills in USD or GBP, the price moves with the exchange rate, and GST is your problem. BuildStability is built for New Zealand coaches: NZD billing, 15% GST invoices with your GST number when you are registered, zero commission on client payments, and an AI program builder and nutrition coach connected to your client data. From NZ$7/month, every feature on every plan.

What New Zealand trainers should look for.
Feature lists look the same from Auckland or Austin. The things that actually change your numbers are local. Five to check before you commit.
- 01NZD billing. If the software quotes in USD, the price you pay moves with the exchange rate every month, and your bank can add a foreign transaction fee on top.
- 02GST done properly. If you are GST registered, your invoices need to show 15% and your GST number. Offshore software usually leaves that to you, which means manual invoices or accountant cleanup at return time.
- 03Zero commission on client payments. A percentage clipped from every session or membership sounds small until you multiply it by a year of clients.
- 04Every feature on every plan. If nutrition, booking or the client app costs extra, the advertised price is not the real price.
- 05AI wired into your client data. A program builder that reads training history and suggests the next progression beats a generic workout generator.
Full tier detail is on the pricing page, which shows NZD automatically. Switching from a specific tool? Start with the Trainerize side-by-side.
A local alternative to global PT software.
Trainerize, TrueCoach, Mindbody and My PT Hub are US or UK companies. Good products, but none was built for NZD, for 15% GST, or for a coach running a Tuesday 6am slot in Pacific/Auckland time. BuildStability was built in Australia for Australian and New Zealand coaches: same core feature set, priced and taxed for this side of the world.
The one New Zealand-built option, GymMaster, is aimed at gyms and clubs with door-access hardware. BuildStability is built for coaches: solo PTs, online coaches and small studios.
One subscription. The whole business.
Programs, nutrition, booking, billing and retention in one place, instead of a booking widget here, a spreadsheet there and an app that does not talk to either.
- 01AI program builder that writes a periodised plan in about 60 seconds, then suggests progressions from logged training.
- 02AI nutrition logging by barcode, label photo, meal photo, chat or voice, on Australasian food data far closer to what is on New Zealand shelves than the American databases global apps use.
- 03Self-serve booking: clients book their own 1:1 sessions and classes through your link and pay in NZD, with capacity, waitlists and QR check-in for studios.
- 04Stripe billing direct to your own account: clients pay you, GST invoices are generated automatically, and we take no commission.
- 05A 90-day client journey and churn prediction that flags at-risk clients about 30 days before they quit.

New Zealand GST, handled from day one.
The rules are simpler than they feel. Three facts cover most trainers.
- 01GST registration is mandatory once your turnover passes NZ$60,000 in any 12-month period. Under that, registration is optional, and plenty of part-time PTs skip it.
- 02Once registered, your invoices need to show 15% GST and your GST number. BuildStability issues GST invoices on client payments through your own Stripe account.
- 03Payment records export as CSV your accountant can use for GST returns, however often you file.
Not tax advice: the thresholds are IRD's, the paperwork is ours to automate. Check your own position with your accountant.

Personal trainer software in New Zealand: FAQs
What is the best personal trainer software in New Zealand?
It depends on your setup. Most NZ trainers end up on US or UK platforms (Trainerize, TrueCoach, My PT Hub, Mindbody) that bill in USD or GBP. BuildStability is the trans-Tasman option: built in Australia for AU and NZ coaches, NZD billing, 15% GST invoices, zero commission on client payments. GymMaster is NZ-built but designed for gyms and clubs with door-access hardware rather than coaches.
How much does personal trainer software cost in New Zealand?
BuildStability is NZ$7/mo (Essential, 6 clients), NZ$33/mo (Starter, 25), NZ$99/mo (Pro, 100) and NZ$259/mo (Pro+, 250), with every feature included at every tier and no commission on client payments. Global platforms usually quote USD, so the NZD you actually pay moves with the exchange rate.
Does personal trainer software handle New Zealand GST?
BuildStability does. Client payments generate invoices showing 15% GST and your GST number once you are registered, and payment records export as CSV for GST returns. Registration is only mandatory once turnover passes NZ$60,000 in a 12-month period, so many part-time trainers do not need it yet.
Can my clients book and pay in New Zealand dollars?
Yes. Clients book 1:1 sessions and classes through your own booking link and pay in NZD straight into your Stripe account. BuildStability takes no commission on client payments.
Is there New Zealand-made personal trainer software?
GymMaster is built in Christchurch and focuses on gyms and clubs, including 24/7 door-access hardware. For coaches, BuildStability is built in Australia for the AU and NZ market: NZD billing, New Zealand timezones including the Chathams, GST invoices and an AI program builder.
Can I run a studio on it, not just one-to-one PT?
Yes. Class scheduling with capacity, automatic waitlist promotion, class packs, memberships, QR check-in and branded booking links are all included. For a boutique pilates or group studio under 500 clients it replaces studio software at a fraction of the cost.
