Being able to create progress update forms to send to clients weekly/monthy or fortnightly
Instead of having to use a third party to get progress updates from clients, we can do it all in one place, fully customize it and reply to them from that form.

I use trainerized to streamline my process, so it's a little annoying I have to send my clients other links to do this. I use the automated messaging and send the links to clinets, but it would be nice to have an in house form.

I love this idea, I also submitted something similar to add to your idea.
Love to hear your thoughts.
Quick Pre-Session Questionnaire
It would be great to add a simple questionnaire for users to quickly complete before each session, with all their answers locked and stored for later review.
How it could work:
• Keep it super short and easy: answers could be selected with just one click or a slider (e.g., rating between 1–5).
• Designed to take no more than 10 seconds to complete, keeping it quick and non-intrusive.Example questions could include:
• How was your sleep quality last night?
• How are you feeling today?
• What’s your energy level like?
• Did you hit your step goal yesterday?
• (Other options depending on the coach’s needs.)There could be a bank of 10 possible questions, but the system would only ask up to 3 questions at a time — keeping it fast and not overwhelming the user.
Why it would help:
• Gives coaches better insights into how clients are feeling, recovering, and performing over time.
• Helps track patterns and spot issues (like poor sleep affecting sessions, or dips in energy and performance).
• Provides real, measurable data that can guide programming decisions and adjustments.
• Allows clients to reflect and take more ownership of their own consistency and habits.Business Benefits:
• Makes the app feel even more supportive and personalised.
• Adds another layer of professional coaching value.
• Could become a key feature that helps coaches retain clients by showing deeper care and insight.This kind of quick feedback loop would not only improve the coaching experience, but also create another strong reason for clients and coaches to keep using the platform long-term. This should be part of the standard app payments you provide to coaches, no add on fees. So all users Befit.

I am trying to use a link to google docs which is a poor user experience which I send as a message weekly. Its never done and I think having this feature available in the main users dashboard as something to do that day will help.

A Check list of each client to tick off weekly to check in with clients and help keep them accountable. Helps with client retention.

Every app should have the ability to send a customisable weekly check in from to their clients

Enhancing Trainerize with a Customizable Check-In Form
Integrating a structured check-in form into Trainerize would significantly improve both client engagement and coach-client communication. By allowing clients to update their trainers on key factors such as:Workout Performance – Tracking progress, intensity, and any challenges.
Digestion & Nutrition Feedback – Logging hunger levels, bloating, or dietary concerns.
Sleep Quality & Recovery – Providing insights into energy levels and overall well-being.
Program Adjustments – Allowing clients to request changes to their training or nutrition plans.
This data would help trainers make informed decisions in real-time, improving client results and retention. A built-in check-in system eliminates the need for external forms, keeping everything centralized within Trainerize.
Customizable Check-In Photos for More Effective Progress Tracking
A key enhancement would be the ability to customize check-in photo options based on client needs. By offering predefined selections, trainers could request:Full Body Shots – Front, side, and back views for comprehensive progress tracking.
Side Profiles – Crucial for assessing posture, body composition, and muscle development.
Competition & Advanced Poses – For physique athletes and competitors, allowing detailed visual feedback on symmetry, posing, and conditioning.
These updates would make Trainerize a more powerful tool for coaches working with a variety of clients, from lifestyle transformations to competitive athletes. By streamlining check-ins and integrating these features, Trainerize can continue to be the industry leader in online coaching software.

This is critical for providing a 5 star experience for the client rather than having to use external apps.

Having this feature in the app would be huge and less time-consuming with automation. Sending this out weekly without having to physically send it every time would be a great benefit.

It's such a low hanging fruit and probably the number one most important feature that any coaching app can have! I'd assume that you are losing a lot of clients yourselves by not having this basic feature!

Please add this feature. I use weekly auto messages, weekly. But if there was an easy to follow form for clients to follow that would be better.
