PROGRAM NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE LIKE YOU DO TRAINING
Beyond the Gym: Your Secret Weapon for the Other 23 Hours
The most successful coaches know that what happens in the gym is just the beginning. Real transformation happens during the other 23 hours of the day—where habits are formed, nutrition choices are made, and lifestyle behaviors determine client success.
With our enhanced Lifestyle Rx feature launched April 22, 2025, CoachRx gives you powerful new tools to design, track, and refine personalized lifestyle and nutrition prescriptions that turn daily actions into lasting habits.
What is the Lifestyle Rx feature?
With the Lifestyle planning feature, you can prescribe personalized daily to-dos ranging from water intake to protein goals to their amount of sleep.
The client receives a daily Lifestyle To-Do - a Yes or No Rx which they can mark off based on whether or not they completed the action. In addition to checking it off, they can leave you additional comments and upload relevant photos or videos.
The intention of each Lifestyle Rx is not for your client to track it forever, but to help them establish a new behavior and reinforce it until it becomes a habit.

How to use LifestyleRx
Designing lifestyle plans is not meant to be a week-to-week effort on your part. Look at designing lifestyle plans as creating great habits with your clients. Don’t get this confused as a “set it and forget it” task in CoachRx. Rather, set it, check in on it weekly, and refine at each monthly consultation.
Accessing the Lifestyle Calendar
To begin using the feature:
Navigate to your client’s calendar in CoachRx.
At the top, select the Lifestyle Calendar tab.
How to Add a Lifestyle Prescription
Click the broccoli icon on the client’s calendar.
Select “Add Lifestyle” — this opens a dropdown of all the pre-populated lifestyle types from your Index.
Choose a lifestyle type (e.g., "Water Intake").
Enter the target value — for example, 100 oz of water daily.
Optionally, add a range (e.g., ±10 oz).
Set a reminder:
Choose the day(s) and time.
Select the recurrence: daily, every other day, weekly, or weekdays. (example: Daily at 8 p.m. for 4 weeks)
Click “Save Prescription” to finalize. Your prescription will now appear on the client’s calendar for the duration you selected.
Adding Additional Lifestyle Prescriptions
Click “Add Rx” to assign another lifestyle behavior.
Use the search bar to find previous lifestyle prescriptions (by keyword or history).
You can filter results by “everyone” or just “this client” to speed up the process.
Customizing Lifestyle Types in the Index, go to the Index section of CoachRx.From here, you can:
Add new lifestyle types.
Customize descriptions and instructions.
Choose what to track:
Quality, Count, Time, Yes/Nom, Time of Day
Set a default reminder time.
Preview how it will appear in the client's mobile app.
Once saved, these custom lifestyle types will be available for all clients moving forward.
Client View Preview: As you build and assign lifestyle prescriptions, you’ll be able to preview exactly how it will show up in your client’s CoachRx app — ensuring clarity and accountability for both coach and client.
6 tips to design the best Lifestyle Rx
Customize your Lifestyle Types to match your coaching style (you can even add personalized videos to educate your clients on the specific behavior).
Monitor Lifestyle compliance % on your Dashboard.
Click the “Exercise” and “Lifestyle” toggle at the top of the client calendar to switch to views.
Limit yourself to a maximum of 3 Lifestyle Rx’s per client to avoid overwhelm.
Prioritize the lowest hanging fruit first and avoid overprescribing—if your client is sleeping 5 hours a night and low on water then start there before prescribing macros or pre-workout nutrition!
Update client plans on a monthly basis (use their monthly consultation to discuss the previous month and set new Rx’s).
How Lifestyle Rx helps your clients
Your clients hire you because they want to achieve their fitness goals and do so in the best way possible. The CoachRx Lifestyle feature helps you deliver on this.
By focusing on building healthy daily habits, the feature provides clients with a simple and personalized approach to behavior and nutrition. Through daily Lifestyle To-Do's, clients can establish new habits and reinforce them until they become part of their lifestyle. This leads to a long-term and sustainable approach to health and wellness, resulting in better outcomes for clients. By tracking progress and setting goals, clients can stay motivated and on track with their healthy lifestyle goals.
With the support and guidance of a professional coach combined with this effective tracking tool, clients can develop a healthy and balanced approach to nutrition, exercise, and overall well-being that will last a lifetime.
Why LifestyleRx is better than everything else on the market
Of all the things you could do to help your clients achieve their goals, it can be tempting to overcomplicate things. But in our experience, oftentimes the simplest solution is the best. This is the approach that the CoachRx Lifestyle feature was built on. Your clients need a quick and easy way to develop consistency and create habits out of the lifestyle behaviors that you, their coach, identify as priorities.
Part of what makes the feature so simple to use is the fact that your clients receive their exercise and lifestyle Rx in one app. This removes the barrier of opening another tracking app and reinforces the symbiotic relationship between exercise and lifestyle.
Lastly, the CoachRx Lifestyle feature gives you and your clients a window into compliance across lifestyle behaviors. The most underrated factor in lasting results is consistency over time, and there is no hiding from the Lifestyle Rx percentage that displays both for the coach and the client to see.
By leveraging these new capabilities, you can:
Elevate your service offering to premium pricing levels Increase client retention through better results.
Save hours each week on program design.
Differentiate yourself in a crowded marketplace.
