Mastering Client Accountability with Check-Ins
Keep clients on track and improve retention. Learn how to use Gymcierge's structured check-ins effectively.
Accountability is often the difference between client success and failure. Gymcierge's check-in system keeps structured data flowing so you can catch issues early.
Why Structured Check-Ins?
Casual "how are things?" texts don't scale. Structured check-ins provide measurable data on adherence, mood, energy, and progress.
- •Track subjective metrics (mood, energy, stress)
- •Monitor adherence to habits
- •Get photos and measurements consistently
- •Save hours of admin time per week
Best Practices
Set a Routine
Clients should know exactly when to check in. Sunday mornings or Friday afternoons work best for most. Consistency builds the habit.
Review Before Responding
Always review their training data for the week *before* opening their check-in. Context matters. If performance tanked, seeing "high stress" in the check-in explains why.
Video Feedback
Don't just text back. A 2-minute Loom or voice note is personal and 10x faster than typing a long email.
Use the "Coach Notes" section in Gymcierge to keep private reminders about what to ask next week.
