Your clients, your relationship
Clients contact you directly. You handle scheduling and payment your way.
Verified means something
Every trainer is credential-checked, so you're listed alongside professionals, not hobbyists.

Clients pick you. They don't blast a request to every trainer in town.
Clients browse verified profiles, narrow things down to the trainers who fit their goals, and reach out to those. Most clients contact just one trainer.
When a request lands in your inbox, you're on a short list, and often the only name on it.
