Question 1

Do I really just… text?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Text (844) 482-4881 like you'd text a client to confirm 6am. "Session $85," "floor fee $500," "what do I owe?" — Toozi logs it, sorts it, and answers. No app, no login.

Question 2

What can a personal trainer write off?

Accepted Answer

Gym floor fees or rent, your certification and CEUs, liability insurance, training equipment like bands, kettlebells, and mats, coaching and scheduling apps, your website, business miles to clients' homes, and the business share of your phone. Toozi sorts each one for Schedule C.

Question 3

Can I deduct my gym membership or workout clothes?

Accepted Answer

Your own membership and everyday athletic clothes are personal, so generally no. Floor fees you pay to train clients and gear used only for clients are different — those are business expenses.

Question 4

How do session packages work for taxes?

Accepted Answer

The money is income when the client pays, not when the sessions happen. Toozi logs the payment then and tracks the sessions delivered so you know what's still owed to the client.

Question 5

I'm a 1099 trainer at a gym. Does Toozi work for that?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You're self-employed, so you file a Schedule C and pay quarterly estimated taxes. Toozi tracks the gym's payouts, logs your fees as deductions, and tells you what to set aside each quarter.

Question 6

How is that different from Trainerize or QuickBooks?

Accepted Answer

Trainerize runs your programming; QuickBooks makes you sit at a computer. Toozi keeps the money side current from your phone, between clients, and files the return.

Question 7

Is my financial data safe?

Accepted Answer

256-bit AES encryption at rest and in transit, bank connections through Plaid (same infrastructure as Venmo), and payments through Stripe — your card data never touches our servers.

Question 8

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No contract, no cancellation fee. Text "cancel" and you're done — and you can export your books first.
