Assessment Software to Improve Client Engagement and Retention
Kinetisense assessment software is primarily geared toward injury prevention and pain management. Exercise.com software is much more versatile than that. You can take clients through personalized assessments to deliver custom workouts for their individual needs – providing massive growth potential and saved time.
Stand Out With Your Own Custom-branded Apps
Kinetisense does not offer any commercial apps for fitness professionals. On the other hand, Exercise.com offers fully-customized apps built to make your life easier by providing your clients with a unified scheduling and workout experience with your brand displayed front-and-center.

What is Kinetisense?
Kinetisense is based in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, and was founded in 2013. Dr. Ryan Comeau is CEO and Co-Founder and David Schnare is Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Kinetisense Inc. For Kinetisense, Dallas is the location of the company’s next venture, the Kinetic Centre.
There is no further information online about the business structure, revenue, or organizational details. The Kinetisense website says the company has sold 650 licenses for the Kinetisense system worldwide.
Kinetisense’s motion-capture tool and software system is capable of assessing biomechanics in active individuals, as well as posture, joint range-of-motion, balance, and functional movements. You will need a Windows 10 computer and tripod to use this hardware, which are not sold by Kinetisense.
As an assessment tool, Kinetisense’s features hit the mark. However, as a business management software tool, Exercise.com software features prove to be superior.
Compared to the limited offerings provided by Kinetisense, Exercise.com software features include performance health assessments as well as the features that are necessary for running a fitness business smoothly, like:
- Workout creation, management, and delivery
- Automated emails, texts, messages
- Automated payments
- Fully customizable web and smartphone applications
- Ecommerce capabilities
- Nutrition tracking
- Endless integrations
- Staff roles, permissions, and schedules
- And more…
Needless to say, it’s no surprise that some of the top brands in the industry have turned to Exercise.com for their business management software needs.
Unless otherwise stated, all images and reviews below are of/about the Exercise.com All-In-One Fitness Business Management software platform.
Fitness Business Management Software
Kinetisense does not have fitness business management capabilities as it is primarily an assessment tool.
In comparison, Exercise.com has full fitness business management software capabilities and helps fitness businesses thrive with the following FBM features.
Client/Class Scheduling
Exercise.com FBM empowers you to track visits, book classes and sessions, engage your clients with recurring appointment reminders via email and text, and provide calendar integration with google and apple for easy management.
With FBM’s calendar, you can also sort by:
- Trainer
- Location
- Service
- Recurring
- Time
- Availability
Gym/Facility Management
Kinetisense does not have any capability for gym/facility management. With Exercise.com software, you can generate reports for many areas such as total purchases or gross revenue. You are also able to manage staff roles and availability. You can ensure that you will be equipped with the necessary tools to make sure your business is on the right track.
Client Automation
The only automated option within the Kinetisense system is that reports are developed based on the results of the biomechanical assessment. Those are created by the system based on the results of the assessments and list dysfunctions in mobility or stability, or asymmetries to improve movement or lower risk for injuries.
There are no automated options for automating payments, reminders, notifications, scheduling, or workout delivery. However, Exercise.com offers all of those features and more. Health club professionals and personal trainers can set up the automation options they prefer and let the Exercise.com software make their life easier. With our automation options, users can:
- Automatic Emails and Texts/Other Automatic Features
- Automate Workout Delivery
- Automate Resource Delivery
- Automate Assessment Delivery
- Automate Reminders/Alerts via app, text, and email
Dedicated Zapier Support
Exercise.com packs as many integrations into its software as possible. We recognize, however, that there are some cases that require some extra help. For this reason, we have partnered with Zapier. By using this platform, you can:
- Link your web apps with a few clicks so they can share data
- Pass information between your apps with workflows called Zaps
- Build processes faster so that you can get more done
With this partnership, you get dedicated support every step of the way. Zapier has over 2,000 apps to choose from, so you can be sure that your company’s website is easy to use and friendly for your members.
Dedicated Account Manager
At Exercise.com, we take pride in the customer service we provide. In order to ensure the high quality we’re after, we provide our clients with a dedicated account manager to guide them through each and every step of the process. This individual isn’t just with you at the beginning, they are with you for your entire relationship with our company.
If your business model changes and you need to redesign your website, your account manager will help get it done. If you are getting requests for products and want to set up an ecommerce store, your account manager will get it done. We are here for everything you need from simplistic to sophisticated.
Customized Software
This is the part of our comparison in which Exercise.com shines especially bright. The entirety of our software can be customized to create exactly what your business needs in order to run most efficiently. You are able to show off your brand through a custom app and website, integrate with other marketing tools, and gain peace of mind knowing that your information and that of your members is safe and secure.
Custom-Branded
Kinetisense does not offer any custom-branded content. With Exercise.com, you can fully customize your websites and apps. The customization is not just a logo and colors; you can include integrations, verbiage, and other custom dev options. Technology is an important part of our daily lives, so Exercise.com makes the mobile app and online app simple, adaptable, and useful.
An added bonus is that our world-class development team will work with you until you are satisfied with the end product. You don’t speak to bots but to human experts, and you don’t need to be an HTML pro in order to have applications that match your level of expertise. We build with your brand, and only your brand, in mind so that you can focus on building your business.
iOs & Android Apps
With Kinetisense, there is no mobile app available for Apple or Android devices.
In comparison, Exercise.com offers fully customizable mobile apps for iOS and Android, which allow scheduling, check-ins, billing, point of sale, workout delivery, calendars, and workout logs, which are useful for personal trainers, health club owners, and active individuals.
Websites
Kinetisense also does not offer you a website. With Exercise.com, you are able to have a custom-branded, responsive website that is built to convert visitors to leads.
Security Features
It is unclear the type of security programs and measures that Kinetisense features. With Exercise.com you can ensure your security needs are met as we provide the necessary security measures for Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. Exercise.com also has SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certification and utilizes Google Cloud.
Marketing Integrations
Kinetisense does not offer marketing integration features.
For your business’ marketing, Exercise.com provides a number of useful marketing integrations, including:
- MailChimp
- ConstantContact
- ConvertKit
- Zapier
- Google Analytics
- Facebook Pixel

Exercise.com is the best Kinetisense alternative.
Workout Software
Being able to create, update, send, and track workouts and client progression can be a defining factor for your fitness business. Kinetisense has limited workout management features available with its system. The only workout features are suggested exercises and strategies that may lessen the risk for injury.
There are no options to custom build workouts or fitness programs for clients outside of the suggestions built into the system based on the assessment results. Their software also has no capability for client/class scheduling.
In comparison, Exercise.com Fitness Business Management Software (FBM) has robust workout management features. Features such as a workout plan creation tool, a customizable exercise library, workout logging, progress tracking, automation options, and more. Personal trainers can create and deliver custom workouts for their clients and send reminders. updates, or workout summaries automatically or as they prefer.
Workout Creator/Logger
Kinetisense does not have workout creation or delivery options. There are no features available in Kinetisense to develop exercise programs or deliver workouts.
Kinetisense only shows where the dysfunction or asymmetry is occurring and whether they are related to stability or mobility, but recommended strategies based on the assessment information are not available. There is no option to create or deliver exercises, stretches, or workout plans to clients.
If a professional wishes to create or deliver workouts after using the Kinetisense program to assess movement, they must have a separate system or software to do this.
Exercise.com has numerous features available for workout creation and delivery. You are able to customize workout content for any scenario, including:
1-1 Training
When a trainer or coach is able to work with someone individually, there is more attention given to that person which means greater potential for growth. With our software, you can add a personal touch to your workouts and help your client or athlete reach his or her fullest potential.
Group Training
Group settings can be very motivated both on the field and in the gym. Our software allows you to create group workouts so that the participants can motivate each other and help guide each other through. The community feel of these workouts can also promote friendly competition which leads to better results.
Online Training
The future is here in the fitness industry and it comes to us in the form of online training. That does not mean that face-to-face training will ever go away, only that virtual options are here and there are people who want to take advantage of them. Exercise.com software gives you the opportunity to create workouts, track your client’s progress, and communicate with them.
This portion of our platform could also be very useful for coaches. Sports teams can consist of dozens of different players, so giving individual attention can be difficult and time-consuming. By providing online workouts, coaches can make sure that the athletes get individualized training without having to commit to spending as much time in person.
Exercise Library
Exercise.com provides its users with a pre-built library of exercises and videos that can be used to create workouts for your clients. While this can be a great tool to save time and is certainly worth having as an option, there is something to be said for a more personal touch.
As an added value to your business, Exercise.com provides the opportunity to create custom videos and exercises to add to your library.
Custom Exercises
Clients and athletes feel more of a connection when they see a familiar face in a video or picture of an exercise. It is more motivating because it is still their coach or trainer giving them instructions and it adds a certain level of believability to the training method.
By uploading your own videos, you are keeping the connection strong between you and your client or player. Motivating them, in this way, will help them to reach their goals faster.
TV Workouts
Exercise demos can be cast onto television screens. Whether you are showing demos in an office or in the exercise area, you can deliver customized experiences for any scenario.
Ecommerce Software
Kinetisense does not offer any ecommerce or point of sale features within its hardware or software system. As a fitness business owner, this can be troubling as ecommerce can be an important stream of revenue for your fitness business.
In comparison, Exercise.com clearly has the advantage because it offers capabilities to sell training packages to gym members or online clients, memberships, or single workout plans. All of these ecommerce features are included with Exercise.com, so it is not necessary to have an extra system for billing, payments, or purchases.
Payment Processing
It is unclear the type of payment processing software Kinetisense utilizes. With Exercise.com, we utilize Stripe and created our dedicated Fitness Business Management Software in which you can access all of your payment tools in the same custom-branded web and mobile app. Whether clients need to pay a one-time or recurring price with cash, check, or credit card or accept direct deposits, you have flexible payment options that clients will appreciate.
Sell Products
With Exercise.com you have the ability to sell products online or in-store. This is a great way to increase revenue and allows for free advertising because people can wear your gym merch in public.
Sell Workout Plans
With Exercise.com, you have the ability to sell fully customizable workout plans to your clients and these workouts can be done from anywhere. Let’s say you have a client that travels for work a lot and cannot meet with you in person to train weekly. A customized workout plan allows you to retain a client even though said client may not be able to meet with you in person.
Offer Online Workout Memberships
Exercise.com has the capability to offer online workout memberships but you also have the ability to automate those memberships as well. Workouts can be sent automatically at the designated time/situation in which clients can perform these exercises at any location and at any time.
Sell Workout Challenges
With Exercise.com you can create and sell customized challenges such as an eight-week weight-loss challenge. Challenges are great for getting people in the door. If they love your workout challenges, they may want to purchase a membership!
Assessment Software
Exercise.com Assessment Software allows you to manage many key areas of your business such as assessments, reports, and nutrition. Read on to see how Kinetisense and Exercise.com stack up.
Assessments
The entire focus of Kinetisense is the biomechanical analysis of movement. Examples of this feature can be found on the Kinetisense YouTube page.
Their 3D modules include:
- Joint range of motion analysis
- Posture data in the three cardinal planes of movement (frontal, sagittal, and transverse)
- Functional movement of an exercise or activity
- Balance, which can also be used for concussion baselines or elderly risk of falls
This system comes with functions to track performance over time and includes charts and graphs to show changes or improvements when re-testing; but here’s the caveat:
If a business or health club owner was using Kinetisense to screen clients or for assessment purposes, they would still need another system for business and management functions, workout delivery, and ecommerce. Two or more systems add more to one’s plate and add unnecessary business expenses.
This is where Exercise.com all-in-one software can combine all the features that a fitness facility or health club would need, including health assessments, ecommerce, workout creation and delivery, customization options, and automation options while reducing costs and simplifying many processes into one system.
Performance & Measurement Reports
Shapewatch and Kinetisense formed a partnership and launched ShapeKAMS. This program combines the capabilities of both systems and includes biometric screening, a view of an individual’s body shape, and completion of the KAMS functional movement assessment.
That’s where Kinetisense’s client engagement offerings end.
In order to ensure that you retain clients, it is important to engage with them regularly. Performing a movement assessment is not enough to fully engage your customers.
With Exercise.com, you are able to create custom assessments for your clients. Assessments can provide history, measurement data, injuries, photos/videos, and goals. You are also able to use an assessment to trigger a workout specifically developed for that client’s needs based on smart data from their onboarding. With Exercise.com you can truly assess clients and help them step by step in their fitness journey.
Nutrition
There are no options for nutrition planning, tracking, or goal setting with Kinetisense. Exercise.com does have a number of features for nutrition, including rest day nutrition goals vs. training day nutrition goals, macronutrient (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) goals, and nutrition tracking. Trainers can also upload meal plans, files, or pictures to help their clients meet their nutrition and fitness goals.
Kinestisense Software Pricing
There are two components to the overall cost of using Kinetisense. First is the purchase of the Kinetisense hardware, which includes the sensor (with the camera and microphone) and adapter. In addition, you also need a Windows laptop and tripod, but those are not sold by Kinetisense.
The second component is the license and yearly subscription (which does include software updates) to use the Kinetisense assessment program. Kinetisense is not upfront with their pricing structure, they request that you contact them via their website for the price details. However, some digging yielded a few details and additional pricing information.
The regular price for Kinetisense software plus the camera is $2094. The only information online refers to a yearly premium subscription of $996. The only other pricing information about the Kinetisense systems is pricing for the KAMS software at $3,984 for a four-year subscription.
Kinetisense Alternatives
The top competitors of Kinetisense are Functional Movement Systems and Fusionetics. Both offer movement analyses that have been tested and are reliable and valid measures of functional movement. The major differences are that FMS and Fusionetics (which uses FMS) are subjective measures and rely on a person to score, whereas Kinetisense uses objective measurements from the computer-based system.
The Bottom Line: Pros and Cons
Kinetisense is a fantastic performance assessment tool, but that is all that the program has to offer. For fitness professionals looking to streamline their services and lessen the amount of time required for everyday business needs, Exercise.com has Kinetisense beat.
Kinetisense Cons
Kinetisense offers options for performance and sport assessments, as well as some recommendations based on the results, but does not go beyond that with additional features. The entire focus is on the analysis of movement. For those who manage their own businesses, this niche focus is simply not enough to run a business effectively.
Exercise.com Pros
Web and smartphone apps that have been custom-made by our world-class development team are only the beginning of what Exercise.com has to offer fitness business owners. From a long list of features like nutrition tracking, workout creation, delivery, and management, performance assessment tools, ecommerce capabilities, automation, and endless integrations, Exercise.com has everything you need to smoothly and successfully run your business.
Because Exercise.com software is an all-in-one business management platform, you won’t need to subscribe to other programs, as is the case with Kinetisense, to fully manage the day-to-day operations of your business. This gives you more time to focus on the needs of your clients, customers, and staff.
Hopefully, you see the benefit of having a system and software in place that allows you to manage and grow your business for years to come.
