Check-in forms are an easy way for you to stay connected with your clients and track their ongoing progress. Your clients can fill them out regularly to share how they’re feeling, what they’ve been working on, and their progress toward goals.
Customize your client's experience and collect information on multiple areas of health and wellness by using multiple forms!
Here is what a check-in form typically covers:
- Progress Updates: How are workouts, nutrition, and/or habits going? (Possibly on a scale of 1-10)
- Well-being Check: How is the client feeling physically (energy, soreness) or mentally (motivation, stress)?
- Goals & Adjustments: Are they on track or do they need adjustments to stay aligned with their goals?
- Challenges: What obstacles are they facing, whether in workouts, nutrition or consistency?
- Feedback: Are they enjoying their program or are there areas for improvement?
- End of training survey: Have a client that's finished their programming? Are they possibly moving on to other things– get feedback on their experience training with you!

How Clients Receive a Check-in Form
Once your check-in form has been assigned to a client or scheduled into a program, clients will receive a push notification when it's time to fill out their check-in form:
If a client closes the notification, they can access their form via their client dashboard once they're ready to fill it out.
Clients can enable this 'Daily Reminder' notification within their notification settings on the mobile app. This will ensure they receive all items scheduled in the calendar, including the check-in form if it is scheduled.
Clients will see the Check-in form as a scheduled item in their THINGS TO DO TODAY section on the client dashboard (on mobile and web):
Check-In Form Notifications
Trainers can receive in-app notifications when a client submits a Check-in Form. This helps you stay up to date with client responses without needing to manually check for new submissions.
When a client submits a Check-in Form:
- On web, a notification appears in the notification center, accessible from the bell icon.
- On mobile, an in-app notification is delivered to the coach’s mobile app.
Selecting the notification takes you directly to the submitted form so you can review the client’s response more quickly.
Managing Check-In Form Notifications
To update your Check-in Form submission notifications, go to your account notification settings and adjust the Custom Form Submissions notification option. By default, the notifications are set to In-App. Email notifications for check-in forms are not currently supported.
For full steps on managing notification preferences, visit: Managing General Notification Settings.
