Clients can now mark unscheduled workouts as complete

‍Update Launch: August 2026

• A modern left-handed sidebar, with every section one click away.
• Hover menus that open your full toolkit instantly: Assessments, clients, nutrition coaching, programs, groups, my tools, and more

New Feature: Barcode & AI Food Scanner

Update Launch: March 2026

We've just launched Barcode and AI Scanning in the PT Distinction Calorie Counter, so your clients can log meals in seconds instead of minutes.

Here is what is new:
• Barcode scanning: Clients tap the barcode icon in food search, scan the product, and the name and nutrition details are logged instantly.
• AI label identification: Barcode not recognised? No problem. Clients can snap a photo of the packaging and our AI automatically identifies the product and adds accurate nutrition data.

This goes beyond traditional barcode scanning. With AI powered label identification, PT Distinction delivers one of the most advanced nutrition tracking experiences available to personal trainers today.

New Chat Update: Instantly Transcribe Voicenotes

Update Launch: November 2025

We’ve introduced a powerful new update to the PT Distinction chat: trainers and clients can now transcribe voicenotes with a single click.

This gives you the flexibility to listen when it suits you, or simply read the message on the go.

Whether you’re in a noisy gym, on the move, or just prefer to skim through messages, this update makes staying connected even easier.

• Transcription works both ways trainer to client and client to trainer
• Available on all devices
• Fast, accurate, and displayed directly in the chat
  

It’s another way we’re making communication seamless for coaches and clients.
