Hi Trainerize Team,

I’d like to submit a feature request regarding habit tracking, streaks, and achievement badges.

I completely understand and support the intention behind real-time habit tracking — it encourages consistency and accountability. However, I recently ran into a scenario where the current system unintentionally penalises a client due to coach error, not client behaviour.

In this case:

The client did complete the habit every day

The habit was not available to be ticked off due to a setup issue on my end

As a result, the client will now miss out on a long streak badge that she genuinely earned

At present, there’s no way for a coach to correct this — even when the missed habit wasn’t the client’s fault.

Suggested Improvement

Could Trainerize consider adding limited coach controls such as:

Allowing coaches to retroactively mark a habit as completed within a defined window, or

A “coach override” option specifically for streaks/badges when there’s a documented setup error

This wouldn’t undermine accountability if:

It’s restricted to coaches (not clients)

It’s limited in time or frequency

It’s clearly logged in the system

Why this matters

Recognition and streaks are incredibly motivating for clients — especially those building long-term habits. When a client has shown up consistently for months, missing out on recognition due to a technical or setup issue can feel disheartening and unfair.

This feature would:

Protect client motivation

Allow coaches to take responsibility for setup errors

Strengthen trust in the platform’s habit and reward system

Thank you for considering this — I absolutely love Trainerize and think this small change would make the habit system even stronger and more client-centred.

Kind regards,
Clare
