Keep 80% of every session you train.

The problem
Skilled trainers in Pakistan are the ones losing out.
-
Your income is split with the gym
Salaries are low, and personal training income is heavily split with gym owners.
-
Nobody sees you past the gym floor
Trainers locked into gym contracts have no independence, no exposure, and nowhere to grow.
-
You don't set the price
Someone else decides what your time is worth, and takes a cut of it before you see it.
How it works
Four steps to your first booking.
-
Build your profile
Your photo, experience, specialties, the areas you cover, and your price per session — anywhere from PKR 100 to PKR 100,000.
-
Get verified
Your CNIC number and clear photos of both sides. A fitness certification is optional, and shows on your profile if you have one. We review in 24–48 hours.
-
Open your hours
Mark the slots you actually want to work. Trainees can only book what you have opened, and every booking still comes to you as a request you can decline.
-
Train, then get paid
The trainee has already paid before you meet. Mark the session complete and your 80% is credited to you.
What stays yours
You are not an employee here.
-
Your price
PKR 100 to PKR 100,000 a session, and you can change it whenever you want.
-
Your hours
Nothing can be booked in a slot you have not opened. Close them any time.
-
Your clients
Every booking arrives as a request. Accept the ones that work for you.
-
Your venue
Where the session happens is agreed between you and the trainee, session by session.
The app
Your week, and your money, on one screen.
Open a slot and it turns green. A trainee books it and it turns red. Everything you have earned is split into what you can withdraw now, what is still clearing, and what is held for sessions you have not trained yet — so money that is on its way never reads as missing.
- Open
- Booked
- Awaiting your reply
- Closed
Getting paid
Where the money is, at every point.
You never chase a trainee for cash. They pay before the session and the platform holds it until the session is done.
-
Trainee pays upfront
By JazzCash wallet or card. The money is held by the platform — not handed over in person, not owed to you afterwards.
-
You mark it complete
Your 80% is credited the moment you confirm the session happened.
-
It clears in 72 hours
That is the trainee's 24-hour window to raise a problem, plus two days for a person to look at it if they do. Then the money becomes withdrawable.
-
You withdraw to your bank
Minimum PKR 500, a 1% withdrawal fee, transferred within 1 business day of approval.
- Trainee pays
- PKR 2,500
- Platform fee (20%)
- − PKR 500
- You keep (80%)

Protection
The rules, before you ask.
-
Late cancellations don't cost you
A trainee cancelling 24 hours or more before the session gets a full refund. Under 24 hours, you are paid as though the session ran.
-
Disputes are read by a person
A trainee can raise a dispute from the session's start until 24 hours after it ends, once per booking. Someone reviews it and decides. No automatic bans.
-
Every trainer is checked
No profile goes live until its CNIC has been reviewed by hand. That check is what makes the badge on your profile worth something.
To be clear about what this is. TrainMuscle books your time, not a gym. We do not sell gym access, we are not affiliated with any gym, and we cannot guarantee entry to a venue. Where a session happens is agreed between you and your trainee, and securing permission to train there is yours to arrange.
Founding trainers
The first 50 verified trainers in each city.
Get to the front of the verification queue, and carry a Founding Trainer badge on your profile for as long as you are on the platform. That is the whole offer — we would rather promise something small and keep it.

Before you start
What you need to hand.
- A Pakistani mobile number you can receive an SMS code on
- Your 13-digit CNIC number, and a clear photo of the front and back
- Bank account details for your payouts
- A fitness certification — optional, but it shows on your profile
Questions
The ones trainers actually ask.
What does it cost to join?
Nothing to join and nothing monthly. The platform keeps 20% of each session you complete, and there is a 1% fee when you withdraw your balance to your bank. That is all of it.
When exactly do I get my money?
Your 80% is credited when you mark the session complete, and becomes withdrawable 72 hours after the session ends. Once you request a withdrawal of PKR 500 or more, the transfer is made within 1 business day of approval.
Do I need my own gym or studio?
No. TrainMuscle sells your time, not a venue. You and the trainee agree where to meet — a park, a home, a gym you already have access to. Getting permission to train at a venue is your responsibility, not the platform's.
What if a trainee doesn't show up?
If they cancel less than 24 hours before the session, you are paid as though it ran. If they simply do not appear, raise it and a person reviews the booking and decides.
Can I set different prices for different clients?
Not in the first version. You have one price per session, visible on your profile before anyone books, and you can change it whenever you like.
Which cities are you in?
Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Multan at launch. If you train somewhere else, message us anyway — where trainers sign up is how we decide what opens next.
Looking to book a trainer instead?
If you want to train rather than be trained, the main site is where you browse verified trainers, see their price before you book, and pay for one session at a time.
