Absolutely unnecessary. Not only can it be triggering for the client, but it gives the wrong impression of the coaches focus for the client. It implies that despite our efforts to focus on fitness, performance, positive body image and well-being we really just want them to lose weight.

Completely irrelevant, not mandatory!

Completely agree with all the comments below!

Agree totally. I have been in this business a long time NOT everybody is concerned with weight. They just want to improve fitness levels. You DO NOT have to have this judge by weight. They is no reason to have this as a required field. Those that are weight focused will fill it in. So many clients who come to trainers are extremely embarrassed by their weight and it is distressing for them to disclose it.

Requiring weight harms some clients, and is not necessary for every trainer. Eliminating the weight requirements is more inclusive to those with mental health concerns and for those who are truly seeking performance/strength, not just physique.

Weight should not be mandatory!!!

When clients sign up they have to enter their weight as part of their profile. I work with a number of clients who have body image struggles or a history in eating disorders so asking for their weight is really not okay and I have to physically tell them to enter 0kg in this because it's irrelevant.

It would be brilliant if we could remove this or have this as an optional thing instead of compulsory

disable asking clients for birth date

Yes please allow us to select whether we want to collect someone's weight when they sign up!

Agreed!

I am an exercise therapist, and do rehab programs. Having weight as an optional, not a requirment would be great.

I also have a body positive business, so requiring weight doesn't jive with my brand.

Yes! To be honest, I use another platform for my online coaching and haven't been super happy with their tech support or customer service. I would switch, but the other app DOES let me hide these features which is why I stay. Changing this could bring more customers your way!

New version is great. Maybe there is a way but haven't figured if I can delete or move "My progress" blocks. I don't use or encourage those indicators of progress. I second the comment about working with those who have struggled with eating disorders. Having these stats so in your face can be triggering for many people. Progress comes in many ways. Please give us and our clients the option to choose what we want to track.

I love this idea! I noticed on the consultation form that the "weight" section wasn't optional. Having previously trained people with eating disorders this is almost a necessity for certain clients.

I would also love to see this! I don't do body composition measurements of any sort with my clients. I'd love to have it so it's not prompting them for this info when they use the app.

Requiring weight makes as much as sense as requiring a biceps measurement. Some people care, some do not - everyone has different reasons for working out.

I work with children, as well as adults (also in a weight-neutral practice) so it is imperative that the system I use have an option to remove weight and measurements from the clients portal. I love your system, but cannot use it because of this feature.

Please give trainers the option to remove this feature.

Thank you for listening
