Step 1: Navigate to the Clients Page

Click on the Clients menu item in the left sidebar to open the Clients page.

Step 2: Click "Add Client"

Look for the "Add Client" button in the top-right corner of the Clients page and click it.

Info

If you've reached your client capacity limit, you'll see an alert instead. Contact support to upgrade your plan.

Step 3: Fill in Client Information

A modal will appear asking for your client's information. Fill in the required fields:

Add client modal with form fields

Required Fields

  • Full Name - Your client's complete name
  • Email - Their email address (used for account pairing)
  • Phone - Contact phone number

Optional Fields

  • Date of Birth - For age calculations and program planning
  • Gender - For personalized recommendations
  • Notes - Any additional information about the client

Tip

Make sure the email address is correct - this is how your client will pair their account with your coaching profile in the mobile app.

Step 4: Save the Client

After filling in the information, click the "Save" or "Add Client" button at the bottom of the modal.

The modal will close and your new client will appear in the clients list.

Step 5: View Client Profile

Click on your newly added client in the list to view their detailed profile.

The client profile has several tabs:

  • Overview - Basic information and quick stats
  • Progress - Progress photos and weight tracking
  • Check-in - Client check-in submissions
  • Program - Assigned workout plans
  • Meal Plan - Nutrition and meal plans
  • Profile - Detailed information and settings

Understanding Client Pairing

After you add a client in the dashboard, they need to pair their account in the mobile app:

  1. Client downloads the Coach+ mobile app
  2. Client creates an account using the same email address you entered
  3. Client selects your coach profile to pair with
  4. The account is automatically paired

Warning

The email address must match exactly for pairing to work. Make sure there are no typos when adding the client.

Client Status

Clients can have different statuses:

  • Uncoached - Client added but hasn't paired their mobile app yet
  • Coached - Client is paired and actively being coached
  • Active - Coached client who logged in within the last 7 days
  • Inactive - Coached client who hasn't logged in for 7+ days

Filtering and Searching

On the Clients page, you can:

  • Use the filter tabs to view All, Coached, or Uncoached clients
  • Use the search bar to find specific clients by name or email
  • Sort the list by name, date added, or last active

What's Next?

Now that you've added your first client, you can:

  • Assign them a workout plan from the Plans section
  • Create a meal plan in the Meal Plan tab
  • Set up meetings using the Calendar
  • Track their progress in the Progress tab

Tip

Instruct your client to download the mobile app and create an account with the email you provided. They'll be able to see all the plans and content you assign to them.

Troubleshooting

Can't add more clients?

You may have reached your plan's client limit. Check your account tier and contact support to upgrade.

Client not showing as paired?

Make sure your client:

  • Used the exact email address you entered
  • Selected your coach profile in the mobile app
  • Completed the account setup process
