The problem with a packed session
Training runs on detail. In a single session you might cover a warm up, the main lift and how it felt, a form cue that finally clicked, RPE on the top set, a tweak to the program, how someone slept, the protein habit they are building, and the movement they keep avoiding. By the time the hour ends, your client has a lot to carry home and so do you.
Capturing all of that by hand is the part that quietly burns trainers out. You either thumb notes into your phone between sets and lose your attention on the lift, or you write them up later when half the detail has already faded. Either way the follow up gets shorter and later, and your client is left running a week of training from memory.
How Slide writes the session note for you
The core of Slide Practice is simple: it writes your session notes for you. With your client's consent, you record or upload the session. In about a minute, Slide drafts three things for you to review:
- A session note of what you covered, in plain language, so nothing from the session gets lost.
- The action items your client agreed to, pulled out and listed clearly, so the next steps are obvious.
- A follow up email ready to send, so your client has their training goals and their wins in writing before they have even left the parking lot.
You read it, fix anything you want, and send. The ten minutes you used to spend writing becomes a two minute review. That is the whole pitch, and everything else on this page is secondary to it. You can read more about AI session recaps and how they work.
Consent comes first
Recording is consent first. You ask your client before you record, and you decide what is kept, shared, or deleted. Your clients and your data belong to you. Slide is built so the recording serves the client, not the other way around.
A sample session note
Here is the kind of note Slide drafts for you to review after a session. It is an illustration, not a real client. You edit anything you want, then it is ready for the client portal and the follow up email.
Sample session note: week 4 lower body
Summary. We reviewed last week and worked lower body. Squat depth is improving, and hip mobility is still the limiter. Hit a clean set of five on back squat at a new working weight. Recovery looks good, sleep is steady at about seven hours, and daily steps are up.
Training goals for this week.
- Three strength sessions this week, on the full body split we mapped out.
- Ten minutes of hip mobility before each lower body day.
- Hit a daily step target of 8,000.
Action item before next session. Log RPE on the top set of each main lift, so we can manage load and progress without guessing.
Adherence note. Last week you hit two of three planned sessions, up from one, and met the protein target five of seven days. The mobility work is the new focus.
Progress. Back squat working weight is up over the last four weeks, and depth is more consistent on every rep.
Outcomes you can see across sessions
A single session note helps on the day. A trail of them across a training block is where the real value sits. Slide tracks the training goals you set with each client, the commitments they make, and how adherence and progress are trending, so the work over time is something you can both see rather than something you try to hold in your head. That is the outcomes layer of your practice: a clear record of what changed, session by session, that you can open before each workout. Progress is the product, and Slide keeps it in writing.
Built around the work, not just the note
The session note is the reason most trainers come to Slide. A few supporting features make the rest of the week lighter:
- Booking on one shared link. Clients pick a time without the back and forth. One link does it.
- A private client portal. Each client has one calm place to see their session notes, training goals, action items, and history. Learn more about the client portal.
- Sliding scale rates. Set tiered pricing so more people can afford to train with you. The price you set is the price you keep.
- Programs and multi session arcs (coming). Soon you will group a block of sessions into a program so a training cycle holds together.
Your hours and client contact, logged automatically
Every session you run in Slide is logged for you, with the date, the client, and the time on the work. Alongside it, Slide keeps an automatic client contact log, so you have a running record of who you trained and when without keeping a separate spreadsheet.
To be plain about certifications: Slide does not issue or auto-log CEUs. Continuing education credits for trainers are course based and earned through an accredited provider, not generated from a session you ran. Slide is not accredited training and awards no CEU, CEC, or CE credit. What Slide gives you is an honest, automatic record of the session hours and client contact you actually logged, which is yours to keep and use in your own records however you like.
An honest comparison
Slide is the newcomer next to the training apps you already know. It helps to be straight about where it fits for a trainer and where an established app may serve you better today.
| What you need | Slide Practice | Established training and coaching apps |
|---|
| Writing session notes for you | Records or uploads, then drafts the note, action items, and follow up in about a minute | Usually manual notes and templates; writing the note is on you |
| Workout and program builders | Not the focus; Slide writes the note and tracks goals and progress | Often deep exercise libraries and program builders, refined over years |
| Booking and a client portal | Included, kept simple and focused | Often deeper and more configurable |
| Collecting client payments | Not yet a processor; you collect your own way with PayPal or similar | Many handle invoicing and payments natively today |
| Cut of what you earn | No commission, ever | Varies by tool; some take a fee or bundle payment processing |
| Track record | New and live, few public customers yet | Established, with large user bases and longer histories |
If you need a full exercise library, a program builder, invoicing, and payments under one roof today, a mature training app may be the better fit right now. If the thing eating your evenings is writing session notes and follow ups, that is exactly what Slide was built to take off your plate.
Pricing that respects your margins
Slide takes no commission, on any plan. Every dollar a client pays for a session stays yours. Every new trainer starts with a 7-day Pro trial, no card. Plans run Starter at $14.99 a month, Pro at $29.99 a month (the best value), and Max at $49.99 a month. Add ons are pay as you go: Auto Join is $1.99 per session and extra session notes are $0.99 each. Your own Slide subscription is billed through Paddle, our merchant of record. You can see the full breakdown on the pricing page. There is no per seat trap and no commission on the sessions you run.
Where things stand, honestly
Slide Practice is built by a team of three, founder-led from Manila. We come from a business and software background, not a coaching or sports science one, which is why the product sticks to the practical mechanics of running a practice and leaves the training to you. It is live. Founding access is open now. The founding group is capped at 30 practitioners, who get Pro at $19 a month for their first 12 months, then $29.99.
One thing to be clear about: Slide is cash pay, non clinical practice software. It is not a medical or rehab record, it is not a clinical or HIPAA tool, and it makes no diagnosis, treatment, or medical claims. If a client needs clinical or medical care, refer out and keep Slide for the training side: your session notes, follow ups, booking, and client portal.
How does recording work, and is it consent first?
You record or upload a session, and Slide drafts the session note, the action items, and a follow up email in about a minute for you to review and send. Recording is consent first. You ask your client before you record, and you stay in control of what is captured, kept, or deleted. Your clients and your data are yours.
Does Slide issue or log CEUs for my certification?
No. Slide does not issue or auto-log CEUs. Continuing education credits for trainers are course based and come from an accredited provider, not from a session you ran. Slide is not accredited training and awards no CEU, CEC, or CE credit. What Slide does give you is an automatic, honest record of the session hours and client contact you actually logged, which is yours to use in your own records.
Can I offer sliding scale rates to make training more accessible?
Yes. Slide supports sliding scale rates, so you can set tiers that fit different budgets. Slide takes no commission, on any plan, ever, so the price you set is the price you keep.
Does Slide Practice collect client payments for me?
Not yet. Slide is not a payment processor or marketplace, so it does not collect client payments for you. You still collect payments your own way, with PayPal or a similar tool, for now. Your own Slide subscription is billed separately through Paddle, our merchant of record.
How does the 7-day Pro trial work?
Every new trainer starts with a 7-day Pro trial, with no credit card required. You get Pro features while you try it on real sessions, with 5 AI recaps included in the trial. After the trial you can choose Starter at $14.99, Pro at $29.99, or Max at $49.99 a month, and founding trainers lock in Pro at $19 a month for their first 12 months.
