Set daily tasks and track a client's cycle
Schedule the daily tasks a client sees in their app, add your own habits, and switch on menstrual cycle tracking so you can see where they are in their cycle.
The Tasks tab on a client's page is where you decide what they are asked to do each day in their app, from logging bodyweight to a habit you have written yourself. It is also where cycle tracking is switched on. This guide covers scheduling tasks, what each built-in task collects, and how cycle tracking works for you and for the client.
Open a client and choose Tasks. The grid lists every task on the left and the days of the week across the top. A tick means the task appears in the client's app on that day. The Everyday column switches all seven days at once. Change anything you like, then click Save.
The built-in tasks
The first six tasks collect data. The client does not tick them off; they complete on their own when the data arrives.
- Fill out readiness questionnaire asks five quick questions about sleep, soreness, mood, stress and energy and scores them out of 25. The score shows in check-in review.
- Upload progress pictures asks for front, side and back photos. They appear on the Photos tab and in check-in review.
- Upload bodyweight asks for a weigh-in, plotted on the Profile tab and in check-ins.
- Upload body measurements asks for girths such as waist, hips and arm.
- Upload meal photos asks for a photo of each meal, shown on the Nutrition tab.
- Log menstrual cycle asks about bleeding, flow and symptoms for the day. See below.
Your own habits
Anything else you want a client to do daily, such as "Read for 15 minutes" or "10,000 steps", goes in the box under the grid. Type the name, click Add task, pick its days and save. Habits you create are shared across all your clients, so the same one can be scheduled for anyone without typing it again. The pencil renames a habit everywhere; the bin removes it from every client but keeps past completions so history stays accurate.
Clients tick habits off themselves. The Completion card under the grid shows how often each task has been done over the last 30 or 90 days.
Cycle tracking
Schedule Log menstrual cycle like any other task. On the client's side the task appears as Log your cycle, and the first time they open it they are asked to confirm, because this is their health data and the choice is theirs. They answer two setup questions: their typical cycle length, if they know it, and whether they use hormonal contraception.
From then on a day takes a few taps: whether there was bleeding and how heavy, symptoms such as cramps, headache, low energy or poor sleep, and an optional note. Saving a day completes the task.
Once the task is scheduled a Cycle panel appears under your Tasks grid. Until the client confirms, it says it is waiting on them. After that it shows:
- Today: the cycle day and phase, menstrual, follicular, ovulatory or luteal. Phases are scaled to the client's own cycle length rather than a fixed 28 days.
- Next period: a predicted date range, shown once two full cycles have been logged.
- Cycle length: the average of recent cycles and the last few individual lengths.
- Common symptoms over the last 90 days, a twelve-week strip of logged days, and the most recent entries with their notes.
Clients see a matching Your cycle card on their Progress screen with the same cycle day and phase, a short general line about what that phase often means for training, and the predicted window.
A few things to know:
- You can see cycle data but not add or change it. Only the client logs it.
- The client can stop at any time from their Progress screen. That deletes every logged day. Your task row stays scheduled, so they can start again later without you doing anything.
- Nothing from cycle tracking goes into push notifications, exports or chat. The daily reminder only says it is time to log.
- Phase notes are general training context, not health advice. If a client raises something that worries them, point them to their doctor.
Worth trying: after a client's first full cycle, open Check-ins and look at their readiness scores against the phases shown in the Cycle panel. Many trainers find the luteal weeks explain a dip they had been attributing to the program.
