Getting started For trainees
What is Trainer-X?
A Saudi platform offering personal training sessions through independent trainers contracted with it, whose identities and certificates we have checked. You search, compare, book and pay Trainer-X in one place, Trainer-X issues the invoice in its name, and the trainer you chose delivers the session.
Link to this questionDo I need an account to book?
You can browse and pick a time without an account; we create your account at the payment step with just your email and name and send you an activation link.
Link to this questionIs signing up free?
Yes. Creating an account and browsing are free; you only pay for the session you book, at the price shown before payment.
Link to this questionHow does the platform suggest the right trainer for me?
In «My goals» set your goal, city, training type, preferred time and budget, and we rank trainers by how well they match you and show the reason on each card.
Link to this questionFinding a trainer For trainees
How do I know a trainer is trustworthy?
We review every trainer's identity and a certificate for each specialty before their profile appears. Extra badges show when a Ministry of Sport licence or insurance is verified. Reviews are written only by trainees who completed a real session with them.
Link to this questionI'm looking for a female trainer for women only. How?
Turn on the «Women only» filter on the trainers page to see female trainers who serve women only, with a «women's venue» mark on dedicated places.
Link to this questionWhat search filters are available?
Specialty, city, training type (gym, home, outdoors, online), price, rating, trainer gender, instant booking, intro session, and availability (today, tomorrow or this week; morning or evening; and in Ramadan after iftar or taraweeh).
Link to this questionCan I compare trainers?
Yes. Tap «Compare» on two or three cards to see prices, ratings, verification, specialties and the earliest free time side by side.
Link to this questionWhat is an «intro session»?
A short session (15 or 30 minutes) at a token price that some trainers offer so you can get to know them and set your goal before committing. It can be booked once with each trainer and shows an «Intro session» badge.
Link to this questionI can't find the right trainer now. Can you alert me later?
Yes. Choose the city or specialty, then tap «Alert me about new trainers for this search», and we'll notify you when a new matching trainer joins. Manage them under «Search alerts».
Link to this questionWhat does «Reviews from outside the platform» on a profile mean?
Reviews written by past trainees the trainer coached before joining, at their invitation. We show them separately from booking reviews, don't count them in the rating, and staff can remove any that break the rules.
Link to this questionBooking & times For trainees
What's the difference between «instant booking» and «booking with approval»?
With instant booking you pay right away and your time is confirmed. With approval you send a request first and only pay after the trainer accepts it within the time shown on the booking page.
Link to this questionWhen am I charged?
For instant booking you pay right after choosing the time. For services that need approval, you only pay after the trainer accepts your request.
Link to this questionCan I choose the session length?
If the trainer allows it for the service, the booking page shows different lengths with the price of each, and available times update for the length you pick. Otherwise the length is fixed by the trainer.
Link to this questionCan I book several sessions or repeat a time weekly?
If the trainer allows more than one time per request, pick several times in one request, or choose «Repeat weekly» to book the same day and time for several weeks.
Link to this questionCan I train with a friend or a group?
Yes, for services that accept more than one participant: choose the number of participants on the booking page to see the total price, and the trainer may offer a group discount.
Link to this questionThe time I want is «temporarily held». What do I do?
It means another trainee hasn't finished booking yet. Tap «Notify me» to join the waiting list, and we'll tell you as soon as it's free.
Link to this questionHow do I change my session time?
From the booking page choose «Change time» at least 24 hours before the session. For confirmed bookings the change needs the trainer's approval, and your current time stays valid until they reply.
Link to this questionThe trainer declined my request. What happens?
Nothing is charged. The trainer may suggest another time that you can book in one tap from the link you receive, or you can choose another time or trainer.
Link to this questionWhere does the session take place?
Depending on the service: at a gym the trainer sets or you choose from their venues, at your home, outdoors, or online. Your home address is shown to the trainer only after the booking is confirmed.
Link to this questionCan I add the session to my calendar?
Yes. After confirmation the booking page has buttons to add it to Google Calendar or download a calendar file for Apple and Outlook, and you get a reminder before the session.

Which payment methods are available?
mada, credit cards, Apple Pay and others as shown on the payment page, through a licensed payment service provider. We never receive or store your card details.

Trainer offers (such as a first-session discount or packages) apply automatically when you qualify, and you enter a discount code at the payment step. You can also invite friends through «Invite a friend» when it's on.
Link to this questionWhere do I find my payment receipt?
Under «Payments» in your account; each booking shows its payment and any refund.
Link to this questionA trainer asked me to pay them directly. Is that OK?
No. Always pay through the platform; that's what protects your money and your right to a refund. Paying outside it removes that protection, and please report any such request to us.
Link to this questionCancellation & refunds For trainees
Can I cancel?
Yes, for most services. For each service the trainer picks one of the platform's cancellation policies: «Flexible»: Free cancellation up to 12 hours before the session; after that, 50% is refunded. — «Moderate»: Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the session; after that, 50% is refunded. — «Strict»: Free cancellation up to 48 hours before the session; after that, nothing is refunded. The policy's name and terms are shown clearly before payment and stored with your booking as they were.

Link to this questionHow do I contact the trainer?
Through «Messages» on the platform, with chat, photos and voice and video calls. Please keep communication on the platform to protect your rights.
Link to this questionI have an injury or a health condition. What should I do?

You propose each service's price and duration, set your working hours and time off, and choose a cancellation policy from the platform's policies. Trainer-X approves prices and offers before publishing because it is the seller, and your fee per session follows the service-provider agreement. Changes apply to new bookings only.

When creating the service you answer «Who sets the session length?»: you, with a fixed length, or the trainee, from lengths you allow, with each length priced in proportion to your price.

For each service you choose one of the platform's cancellation policies: «Flexible»: Free cancellation up to 12 hours before the session; after that, 50% is refunded. — «Moderate»: Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the session; after that, 50% is refunded. — «Strict»: Free cancellation up to 48 hours before the session; after that, nothing is refunded. Trainer-X applies it as the seller. If the trainee cancels before the free period ends they get a full refund and no fee is due to you for the booking; if they cancel after it, they get back what the policy states and you are due the part of your fee matching the non-refunded part. If you cancel or don't show up, the trainee gets a full refund and no fee is due for the booking.
