Only trainers can prescribe habits for a client to practice. There are two ways to assign habits to your clients:
- From the Clients page to assign habits to multiple clients
- From an individual client’s profile
Prescribing a habit to an individual client
- On the web, open up the client's account and go into their "Goals and Habits" tab and click "New"
- On the mobile, open up the client's account and go to Plans > Goals and Habits and tap "Add new"
- You can select from:
- a list of pre-made habits related to nutrition, active living/movement, mindfulness or sleep
- a list of hand/fist portion guide habits
- or create a Custom Client Habit.
Creating a Custom Client Habit
A Custom Client Habit is a unique habit for that client you wish for them to practice. This can be anything like "Take omega 3 oils" or "Use roller before bed".
When you create a custom habit for a client, you can type in a short description of the habit. Subsequently, if you wish to re-practice the same habit, start typing the name of the habit and Trainerize will bring up a list of previously practiced habits that you can select from.
Be sure to select previous habits so that when you view its progress, it can show you the entire history of the same habit. The completed ones will show in the Recent Activity Feed inside trainer accounts (web).
Note: Custom Client Habits that are designed for a singular client cannot be added to the Master Habit library after they were created.
Prescribing a Master Habit to multiple clients
You can prescribe a Trainerize Pre-made Habit or a Master Habit that you've created to multiple clients at once.
- On the web, visit the Clients page
- Select the clients you want from the list
- Click “add a habit” and select from the list that appears.
Upcoming Habits
Habits prescribed to clients starting in the future will appear under the 'Upcoming" habits tab. These habits will move to the "Current" habits tab once active.
