Coach / Trainer - ABC Trainerize

We are continually upgrading your fitness app with new features based on your feedback. Please add a new idea, or vote on an existing idea. This ensures your ideas don't get lost and always visible and other users can upvote your ideas. The idea forum allows us to keep a pulse check on what our user community as a whole wants.

Why should I vote?
This forum allows us to more accurately prioritize ideas to ensure a system of fairness by executing on improvements needed more urgently by a larger cohort of our user community, in order of voting priority. It offers you transparency into what we're reviewing, starting and have completed.

Vote subscribes you to the idea so when its status changes, you'll get notified. 

When does an idea get picked up?
The higher the votes, the more likely the idea will be completed but there is no fixed formula if an idea will be picked up as it is just one avenue we look at. The idea forum is only one of the many avenues we use to evaluate an idea's feasibility. We also factor in your conversations with our support team, in-app surveys, Facebook beta groups,  complexity of the idea, talks with our inner circle of users and how it fits with the overall vision of the platform.

For example, "Portuguese support" was for the longest time in our top 3. But embarking on that would significantly dent our ability to serve our primary English speaking community effectively.

Thanks!

    HI everyone,

    Happy to announce we’ve completed this idea. Thanks for supporting the idea everyone.

    If you notice in your web app, there is an additional section called Programs. you can now subscribe your clients to programs.

    If you wish to do virtual group training (like intakes or bootcamps), you can create a new Training Group and everyone in the group will follow the same program at the same time.

    If you wish to have people start at any time, or subscribe to different programs, you can certainly subscribe them directly to a program, but just put them into a regular Fitness Community group.

    We hope you enjoy this feature.

    Many of you have commented about challenges too. You may wish to vote and leave your comments on this thread for us:

  3. Make auto-messages from the coach NOT cause unread messages from the trainee to appear as read.

    I have 100+ clients. When an auto-message goes out to new clients, say on their 4th day, it functions like a personal message from me and marks any previous unread message from them as read. I can easily miss something they have asked. Same with "message-all" functions - say I want to send everyone a great article or new blog post... suddenly all unread message notifications are gone.

  4. Interval Timer: Allow us to enter work/rest times

    The new Interval Timer is awesome! I would like more control over setting the times - specifically, I need it to allow for 60/20, 45/15 and 40/20 work to rest intervals. I don't use Tabatas often, but I'm sure many would appreciate and option for 20/10 as well.

    Hi all,

    In the v5 and v6 apps, you are able to create interval workouts with these various rest periods now, so we’re marking this one as completed and returning your vote to you.

    Here are some other related ideas you might be interested to upvote:

  5. Voice prompt stating "half way" on interval timer

    When performing an interval workout, it would be nice to have a voice prompt that lets you know when are at the half way mark of the allotted time. Example: for a 30-second exercise a voice prompt says "half way" at 15 seconds.

  6. Rowing metrics - Meters & Calories NOT Miles

    When choosing rower for a cardio workout, it should give an option to program the client's workload in both meters and calories. Right now it only allows miles as an option.

  8. Give Clients the option to film video of an exercise for trainer review

    It would be great to give clients the ability to shoot a short clip of them performing an exercise for the trainer or coach to review form and make suggestions. I know for a fact this will give our clients a more personal connection and better retention eliminating the need to seek in house trainers for additional coaching.

  9. Disable business features such as earn a free month for shared trainers and below.

    Currently, a business owner has no way to disable features such as earn a free month for any of their trainers. Being able to hide such features would make the app feel more professional, especially when using a customised app.

    This is currently available as part of an Enterprise plan.

  10. Ability for clients to quickly view all uploaded files or attachments

    Allow something similar to other messengers, have a section where all the files that were sent so they can see all PDFs, excel files, word docs, images etc that I've sent across.

    That way I can quickly share files, recipes and it's all in one place.

  15. Ability to skip forward exercises Interval Training

    When using the track functionality for an Interval Training it would be great to have some more control. I suggest adding forward and backward buttons allowing people to skip or go back exercises

  17. Allow ability to send out automated texts or messages

    My clients prefer texts as the means of communication
    Automated texts would be amazing.
    It would be great to be able to personalize their name with a generic message
    'Hi Sarah'.... Then same motivational message everyone else gets

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for your feedback. With the latest upgrade with our new messenger, we’ve now added a complete 14 day onboarding message journey you can automate to increase initial engagement and up your long term client retention.

    Additionally there are many more event-based automated messages like when a client completes their first workout, etc.

    For more information, you can see our help article here:
    http://help.trainerize.com/hc/en-us/articles/217971003-How-do-I-customize-the-Automated-Messages-and-Events-

  18. we need a way for our clients to be able to "check in" on social media when performing our routines from trainerize app.

    I see all of my online clients "checking in" at the gym or club that they are performing the routines I put together for them, but are not "checking in" with trainerize giving credit to the app or my routines.

  20. Goals

    Clients buy the vision of what you will do for their bodies not the app itself, as awesome as what it is. Where's the section on goals, with deadlines to achieve these? Goals section please, so so important to know, keep track of and work towards. Auto reminder everyday to go out to the client reminding them of their most important goals and confirming they are achieving results that are helping them get there. Thanks D
