Responding to Check-Ins

Periodic questionnaires from your trainer — sleep, energy, photos.

client guide/dashboard/client
What this is for: Give structured feedback that your trainer uses to adjust your program.

What check-ins are

Your trainer can schedule periodic check-ins — daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly — with a set of questions they wrote. When a check-in is due, you get an email and a notification in the app.

  1. Open Forms to see your check-ins.
  2. Check-ins you still owe your trainer are listed under Pending.
  3. Check-ins you already finished move to History.
  1. Open Forms to see check-ins your trainer sent you.
  2. Click Fill out on the check-in you want to answer.
  3. Slide to rate how training felt this week.
  4. Enter your average hours of sleep.
  5. Tap the stars to rate your energy.
  6. Answer the yes or no question.
  7. Click Submit and your trainer sees your answers.

Common questions:

  • "How was your sleep this week (1-10)?"
  • "Energy level (1-10)?"
  • "Hours of cardio outside the gym?"
  • "Front photo (URL)?"
  • "Anything weird this week (free text)?"

Step-by-step

  1. Open the You tab and tap Forms & Questionnaires (the forms card on the Coaching tab opens the same page).
  2. Pending check-ins are listed first. Tap one to open it.
  3. Answer each question and submit.
  4. Completed check-ins move to your history below, so you can look back at what you sent.

What your trainer sees

Once submitted, your responses appear on the Forms tab of your page in their client dashboard. They use this to:

  • Detect overtraining (low energy + bad sleep = back off)
  • Adjust macros if you're plateaued
  • Track progress photos visually

Photo prompts

If a check-in has a photo question, paste a public URL pointing to your photo. Use:

  • Google Drive (set "anyone with link can view")
  • Imgur public album
  • A self-hosted public link

In-app photo upload is on the roadmap (depends on bringing back Vercel Blob).

Cadence

  • Daily check-ins are intense — usually only during a strict cut.
  • Weekly is the most common — Sundays or Mondays.
  • Biweekly / Monthly for maintenance.

Your trainer chose the cadence. If it's too much or too little, tell them.

Missed check-ins

If you miss a due date, the instance stays as missed. There's no penalty in the app, but missing many in a row signals to your trainer that the cadence isn't working — they may simplify.

Common pitfalls
