ABC Trainerize offers powerful tools to measure client adherence of both workout and nutrition goals, allowing you to analyze client progress and program effectiveness. By setting compliance thresholds, you can monitor weekly adherence to scheduled workouts and nutrition tracking, ensuring that clients stay on track toward their goals.
Additionally, compliance tracking helps you evaluate whether your clients’ goals are realistic. If clients consistently fall short or exceed compliance thresholds, you can adjust their plans accordingly to optimize results
How to Set Compliance Thresholds
You can easily customize compliance settings for your clients. Keep in mind that these compliance settings apply across your entire business and all clients. Each client's compliance score will be calculated individually based on these thresholds.
We recommend starting with more flexible compliance thresholds and gradually tightening them over time to encourage higher client adherence.
To customize compliance settings for your clients:
- On your ABC Trainerize web account, navigate to Settings > Auto Client Tags.
- Adjust the compliance thresholds for workouts and nutrition by sliding the two square icons left or right:
- The left (orange) icon sets the threshold for low compliance.
- The right (yellow) icon sets the threshold for high compliance.
Workout Compliance
- Only trainer-scheduled workouts count toward compliance scores. Workouts added by clients themselves will not be included.
- Use the scheduled workouts to establish both the minimum (low compliance) and maximum (high compliance) adherence levels.
Client A has 1 scheduled workout each week and Client B has 5 workouts scheduled each week.
According to the thresholds set, Client A will have demonstrated high workout compliance, while Client B will have demonstrated low workout compliance.
Nutrition Compliance
- You can set a nutrition goal achievement range to determine how strict or flexible compliance tracking should be.
- Nutrition compliance is only calculated if the client has a daily nutrition goal set up with active tracking via MyFitnessPal, Fitbit, or the in-app tracker.
- Clients must hit all nutrition goals in order to be compliant for that day. For example, if a client has a full macro goal set up, they must be compliant with all calorie, protein, fat, and carb goals in order to reach their daily nutrition goal for that day. If they are missing just their protein goal, they will not be compliant for that day.
Using Auto Compliance Tags for Client Accountability
ABC Trainerie automatically applies compliance tags to clients based on their weekly performance with workout and nutrition compliance. These tags can help you monitor adherence and make adjustments as needed.
To access compliance-tagged clients:
- Navigate to the Clients tab from the left-hand menu.
- Click Add Filter > By Tag > and locate the Workout and Nutrition tag categories.
How Does the Tagging System Work?
At the end of each week (Sunday at midnight, client's local time) compliance scores are calculated for each client, and auto-tags are applied accordingly:
- Low Workout Compliance and/or Low Nutrition Compliance: Clients who fall below the low compliance threshold.
- High Workout Compliance and/or High Nutrition Compliance: Clients who meet or exceed the high compliance threshold.
- No tags applied: Clients who fall between the low and high compliance thresholds.
How to Use Compliance Tags Effectively
Use these automatic compliance tags to help you analyze the effectiveness and challenge level of your clients' training and nutrition programs.
- For clients with high compliance, consider increasing workout frequency or adjusting their nutrition targets for an added challenge.
- For clients with low compliance, reach out to offer motivation, adjust their scheduled workouts, or discuss barriers to adherence.
- If most clients fall into the high compliance category, consider making compliance thresholds stricter to push them further.
- If many clients have low compliance, reassess whether the expectations are realistic and adjust thresholds accordingly.
