At ABC Trainerize, we know coaching today goes far beyond sets, reps, and macros. The most successful coaches aren’t just trainers, but holistic coaches who support clients across fitness, wellness, nutrition, and lifestyle habits. Yet too often, trainers rely on multiple disconnected tools to collect updates and stay in touch, leaving them with extra work, scattered data, and a fragmented client experience.
You told us you needed a better way, and we listened. That’s why we built check-in forms, a built-in, customizable tool that helps you engage smarter, track meaningful insights, and transform your clients’ lives.
With check-in forms, you’re not just saving time, you’re taking your coaching to the next level. By capturing wellness, lifestyle, and progress updates directly in ABC Trainerize, you can personalize programs, boost client engagement, and make a bigger, lasting impact on your clients’ habits and overall well-being.
Why You (and Your Clients) Will Love This
Check-in forms are a powerful tool to elevate your coaching, make your work easier, and help clients achieve better results. Here’s why you and your clients will love them:
Save time and cut down on admin: Consolidate client updates directly in ABC Trainerize instead of juggling multiple communication tools
- Keep clients engaged and accountable: Built-in weekly or monthly check-ins createconsistency and motivation.
- Collect actionable insights: Track wellness, nutrition, recovery, and progress to deliver smarter, more personalized coaching.
- Take your coaching to the next level: Transition from trainer to holistic coach, guiding clients not just in workouts, but in lifestyle, habits, and wellness.
So What’s New? A Smarter Way to Engage Clients,
and Here’s How it Works
Create Custom Check-In Forms
You can now create custom check-in forms directly inside ABC Trainerize under Master Libraries > Check-In Forms. Each form supports up to 10 questions, including single answer, multiple answer, text, and rating (1–10). That way you can customize the check-in form to ask a variety of questions that will allow you to understand your clients’ coaching progress, and use those insights to personalize their coaching program.
Example: Add a sleep rating and nutrition adherence question to help personalize a client’s program and guide holistic progress.
Schedule Forms on the Calendar
You can now schedule check-in forms directly in a client’s calendar or as part of a Master Program calendar. This allows you to build check-ins into your workflows and ensure a regular cadence of communication. By automating check-ins, you can keep clients engaged and accountable without adding manual admin work.
Tz Tip: Schedule a weekly check-in for clients starting a new training block to keep them consistent and motivated. 
Clients Complete Check-Ins in the App
Clients will now receive and complete check-in forms directly in their ABC Trainerize app on their scheduled date. This provides them with an easy way to share progress updates, challenges, and wellness insights, keeping them engaged and giving you valuable data to guide their journey.
Example: Clients can report stress or energy levels during a busy week, giving you a chance to adjust their recovery plan proactively.
Review Submissions with Ease
You can now review client submissions from the client’s calendar, the new Check-In tab on your client’s profile, and on the Recent Activities dashboard. Plus, you can view past-check-ins easily within clients’ profiles. These views make it simple to monitor trends, celebrate wins, and spot issues early, so you can take the next step to send them a voice message on a great week or tailor their program for success.
Tz Tip!
Encourage clients to complete their check-ins on the same day each week. This builds routine, boosts accountability, and gives you consistent data to deliver smarter, more impactful coaching.
