Effective communication and consistent feedback are the cornerstones of effective program design. And as we all know, what’s happening off the gym floor is just as important for a coach to keep tabs on as workout results. After all, if your client is stressed out of their mind, not sleeping, and drinking zero water, they’re probably not going to get great results no matter how hard they train!

Program Design Pro Tip: Weekly Check-Ins

With Weekly Check-Ins, you can establish a regular cadence of communication and feedback outside of day-to-day messaging and results tracking, ensuring a seamless flow of information between you and your clients.

CRX Weekly Check In

Here's how to use Weekly Check-Ins in your coaching practice:

  1. Either use the default template in the Index or create your own (you can add questions with text, rating or yes/no answers).
  2. Click on the Consultation icon in the sidebar of the client calendar.
  3. Click Weekly and then choose the template and day of the week you want to assign the check-in (many coaches opt for a Sunday to reflect on the week past). Switch the toggle to On (blue) and save.
  4. Your client will receive their check-in in their mobile app. If they miss it on the day they can navigate back to it.
  5. You receive their answers on the dashboard activity feed, where you can review and comment if you desire.

CoachRx offers a default check-in template to get you started, but you also have the freedom to create personalized check-ins tailored to your clients' specific needs. This customization empowers you to gather information and insights that align with your coaching approach. You can even create a different template for each client based on their priorities. By designing check-ins that resonate with your clients, you enhance the quality of feedback and establish a more personalized coaching experience.

With Weekly Check-Ins, you'll create a communication loop that strengthens your coaching relationships, boosts client accountability outside the gym, and drives remarkable results. The power of timely feedback and meaningful dialogue cannot be underestimated when it comes to maximizing your clients' progress.
