TrainingPeaks handles training plans.
Training Tilt builds your business.
More than a plan delivery tool - a complete platform for growing a coaching business.
The core difference
TrainingPeaks is built around athlete data. It does training plans and performance analytics well. But running a coaching business takes more than that: a website, an online store, athlete communities, content delivery, email marketing, and payments — none of which TrainingPeaks provides.
Training Tilt is built for the business side of coaching. Training plans are one part of it. The rest is everything you need to attract clients, keep them engaged, and grow revenue.
Why coaches switch to Training Tilt
No athlete fees
TrainingPeaks charges athletes to use their platform if they want premium features. Training Tilt does not have basic vs premium athlete accounts. You control the features and benefits your give your athletes, not the platform.
Training Tilt is coach-first
TrainingPeaks sells premium subscriptions directly to athletes. That means athletes can switch coaches and carry their TrainingPeaks account with them, taking your planning data along. Training Tilt exists only to serve coaching businesses. Athletes access your platform, not a TrainingPeaks account they own.
Keep more of what you earn
TrainingPeaks takes around 30% of every training plan sold through their marketplace, far above the 3–10% typical of other digital marketplaces. Training Tilt takes 0.5–3% depending on your plan.
Your brand, not TrainingPeaks'
On TrainingPeaks, athletes see the TrainingPeaks brand everywhere, on the website, in the app, in emails. On Training Tilt, your athletes see your logo, your colours, your coaching brand, across the web platform, mobile apps, and athlete portal.

Training Tilt was built differently - it’s designed to let coaches grow businesses independently, rather than within another company’s ecosystem.
