In the past, when someone signed up for a coach, they were introduced to a set of weights and the differences between a set and a superset. The focus has been on fitness and training for the past decade, but over the years there’s been a shift. Coaches are now starting to take a holistic, 360° approach to coaching, one that includes fitness, nutrition, and habit coaching–because it’s a combination of the three that will help clients ultimately reach their goals. Learn more about our vision of the future of personal training. 

With the personal trainer role being redefined to become more holistic, we envision nutrition being a default element of personal training. Which is why we’ve been focusing on enabling trainers to deliver on nutrition coaching seamlessly with one app. One app to deliver on nutrition habits, tracking meals, and delivering meal plans. However, now we’ve taken it one step further with a new add-on and extra nutrition coaching features!

 

Say Hello To Our Newest Add-On: Advanced Nutrition Coaching

We’re Incredibly excited to announce that a better way to deliver nutrition coaching is here with our brand new Advanced Nutrition Coaching add-on! This add-on will make it easy for you to generate and deliver personalized meal plans in seconds, so you can spend less time building meal plans from scratch and more time coaching clients. 

Right now, you’ll be able to generate meal plans using the Smart Meal Planner feature. But we have more nutrition coaching features coming in the near future, like the ability to create custom meals, that are exclusive to those who have the add-on. 

Easily Deliver Meal Plan Guides with the Smart Meal Planner

It’s never been easier to coach a variety of clients who have different needs and dietary preferences. If clients are looking for more guidance around what to eat, you can generate up to 3 days worth of meals for clients based on their caloric goals, macro split, dietary preferences, and more in seconds. The meal plan will get delivered to clients right away and they can follow along to engaging videos and detailed recipes as they cook. 

When creating a smart meal plan coaches have the option to customize it based on several criteria:

• Number of calories per day
• Number of meals per day (choose between 3 and 6 meals)
• Macro split for the meals (choose between Balanced, Low Carbs, Low Fat)*** 
  • Balanced (40% Carb, 30% Protein, 30% Fat)
  • Low carb (20% Carb, 30% Protein, 50% Fat)
  • Low fat (30% Carb, 50% Protein, 20% Fat)

• Dietary preference (choose between General, Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian and Paleo)
• Excluding food sensitivities (select to exclude Fish, Eggs, Dairy, Shellfish, Soy, Gluten, Tree Nuts, Peanuts)

Coaches can customize frequency delivery and select how many sample meal plan days they want their clients to receive (1-3 days).

Extra features your clients will love

Once you hit generate, your clients will then see their meal plan suggestions right away! They can follow along engaging videos and recipes as they cook, easily track the foods that they cook in-app, swap meals for similar alternatives to discover new recipes.
