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

  1. Go to https://trainer.evofit.io and click Log In.
  2. Use the email and password you registered with (or the credentials your admin created for you).
  3. 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.

  1. Click your avatar in the top right and pick Profile Settings, or visit /profile/edit.
  2. 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.
  1. 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.

  1. Still on /profile/edit, scroll to the WhatsApp Setup section.
  2. Enter your WhatsApp number with country code (e.g. +1 555 123 4567).
  3. Optional: paste a community group link for the second action.
  4. 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.

  1. On /profile/edit, find the Certifications panel (trainer only).
  2. Click Add Certification.
  3. Fill in name (e.g. NSCA-CPT), issuing org, credential ID, issue date, expiry date.
  4. 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.
