Getting Started as a Trainer
Your first 15 minutes — log in, complete your profile, set up WhatsApp, add a certification.

What this is for: Walk through your very first session in EvoFit so the rest of the app feels obvious.
Step 1 — Log in for the first time
- Go to
https://trainer.evofit.ioand click Log In. - Use the email and password you registered with (or the credentials your admin created for you).
- After login, you land on
/dashboard— the trainer overview.
Step 2 — Complete your profile
A complete profile builds trust with clients. Aim for the green check on every section.
- Click your avatar in the top right and pick Profile Settings, or visit
/profile/edit. - Fill in:
- Bio — one or two sentences about your coaching style.
- Date of birth, gender, phone, timezone — so scheduling works correctly.
- Preferred units — metric or imperial. Clients inherit this when relevant.
- Click Save Changes.
Step 3 — Set up your WhatsApp number
This is the single most-used feature on the client side. Once configured, every client sees a green floating WhatsApp button on every page of their app.
- Still on
/profile/edit, scroll to the WhatsApp Setup section. - Enter your WhatsApp number with country code (e.g.
+1 555 123 4567). - Optional: paste a community group link for the second action.
- Save. The floating button now appears in your clients' apps within seconds (next page load).
See the dedicated guide: WhatsApp Setup and Etiquette.
Step 4 — Add a certification
If you have one, log it. The system warns you 90 days before it expires.
- On
/profile/edit, find the Certifications panel (trainer only). - Click Add Certification.
- Fill in name (e.g. NSCA-CPT), issuing org, credential ID, issue date, expiry date.
- Save.
Step 5 — Fill in the health record (optional but recommended)
Your own PAR-Q lives at /profile/health. Filling it in is optional, but it speeds up onboarding when a client asks about your training background.
Common pitfalls
Where to find this
/profile, /profile/edit, /profile/health. You can always click your avatar and pick Profile Settings to come back here.
