Example of what happens next: Ryan Patel scans Dan’s card, saves Dan to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Dan to follow up, with the email already drafted.
A digital business card for personal trainers has to work with no pockets and no patience. Someone asks what you charge between sets, and thirty seconds later they are back under the bar. They scan, save you and can send their number back. Pro drafts the follow-up from your note that evening.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

Example
Between sets, not in a sales meeting.
The gym floor
- One pocket
- Mid-set
- Sweat and chalk
Gym kit has one pocket if you are lucky. Whatever you hand over has to survive that.
- One pocket. Gym kit has one, if you are lucky, and it already has a phone in it. Paper does not survive the session.
- Mid-set. The conversation happens between working sets. It lasts as long as the rest does.
- Sweat and chalk. Anything you hand over is being touched with hands that have just been on a barbell.
Each constraint decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.

- One scan, no app
- Opens with no signal
Printed cards fail here for a simple reason: neither of you has anywhere to put one. It goes on the bench, gets sweated on and ends up in the bin. The phone is on the floor beside them, unlocked, playing the music.
So the handover is phone to phone, with nothing to install, and it runs both ways. A member who has your number will call if they remember. A member whose number you have gets a message on Tuesday.
Most people who ask about training mean it on the day. The trainer who messages on Tuesday about their deadlift gets the block of twelve.
Nothing for them to download.

- The goal on the record. “Wants to squat bodyweight, shift work, mornings only” sits on the name.
- The Tuesday message, written. Pro drafts it from that note, so it is about their knee and reads like you.
- A first session in one tap. Your booking link is on the free plan, and Pro pins Book a time right under Save.
- Change gyms, keep everyone. Edit once and your page, your pass and your QR code show the new gym.

Personal trainers, answered.
Do they need an app to save my card?
No. Your QR code opens your card as a web page on their phone, iPhone or Android, and they save you to their contacts from there. On a gym floor, an app download ends the conversation.
The weights area has no reception. Does that matter?
Your pass opens with no signal because it is stored on your phone. If their phone has no signal either, open cardr.co/me/code and switch to No signal: that code holds your contact itself, so their camera saves you. They can send their details from your page once online.
Should I show my prices on the card?
You can. On Pro your page lists up to 6 services, such as a block of twelve sessions, each with a “from” price. On the free plan, link to your prices.
I coach online too. Does that work?
Yes. Your card lives at cardr.co/yourname, so it is the link in your bio and your email signature. The QR code and the Wallet pass are the in-person version of the same card.
What does it cost?
Free forever, no card details: your card, page and Apple Wallet pass, the two-way exchange, and every contact with notes, search and export. Pro, £12 a month or £108 a year (£9 a month), adds drafted follow-ups, reminders, a pinned booking button and all 16 pass designs. 7 days free, then 30 days to change your mind.
Free forever. About a minute to build.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
