What can we improve or add for the coaching client or gym member ?

← Coach / Trainer - ABC Trainerize

Allow manual tracking of steps without having to sync a device

I have clients that do not use a smart watch, but wear a pedometer and their step goals are important to them. It would be great if there was a way for them (or me even) to enter their steps manually so that they can see how they are improving over time.

Hi everyone,


Thanks for coming to the idea forum and adding your vote to this idea.
 
We’re keeping this set to ‘Not Right Now’, as we’re building out challenges and we do not want clients to be able to cheat the system through manual entry.
 
If you are looking at more connections to the app. Please get your clients to vote on feedback.trainerize.com.

Healthkit (use your iPhone’s set counter – is available now – go to More to connect)

Google Fit (use your android phone’s step counter) : https://bit.ly/3vTUoKw

Samsung Galaxy Watches

Garmin

We will not allow manual entry of steps as this

    This is essential to track data, especially it you do not allow for all watches to connect with your app. E.g Garmin. Can‘t understand why you wouldn‘t see the need for this. Not user-friendly at all

    Just allow clients to log actual number of steps per day manually. Show a weekly average perhaps? Trainers able to set a step goal average as well?

    This is an absurdly simple integration that is only necessary due to your poor integration of popular wearables. I dont understand why your organization is so set on being intentionally hostile toward its users.

    I agree with this 100%. My clients have Garmins and can’t log steps.

    Any particular reason other than blinkered market centric profiteering that you're choosing not to open up your app to people that don't use the companies that you're partnered with.. Asking for a friend.

    This is can done currently. My clients use the Fitbit app to log a "walk" each day with the distance their "device" tells them. This is also possible using the Withings Health Mate app and connecting it to Samsung Health, etc

    Make it possible for client’s phones to track steps.. like the internal pedometer built into the Apple health app on iPhone

    I have a Garmin and my steps won't sync with Trainerize and I can't add my steps in manually. Do I need to update my version of the app?

    Have a bunch of clients with trackers but not fitbits or apple watches. And we can already manually enter our resting HR. Definitely an ESSENTIAL. And hopefully easy for the tech-people.

    Absolutely Essential

  • John TEST Cude TEST commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely required. Not all clients are covered by the supported apps. Until Garmin, Polar, etc are supported, there has to be a manual input option, or a major data point cannot be tracked. Thanks.

  • John TEST Cude TEST commented  ·   ·  Report

    Samsung / Android app doesn't allow us to manually input daily step count... a MUST for those with fitness trackers that remain unsupported (no synch).

  • Sarah Doell commented  ·   ·  Report

    For users that don't have a Fitbit, withings, or apple watch, please allow them a function to enter in steps instead of just the walk feature with distance
