Coach clients: messaging your coach and resources

These features are for people training with a coach. Individuals do not have them.

Messages

Opening Messages

Tap the Messages icon at the top right of Home. A dot means you have unread messages.

You have one conversation: your coaching team. It includes your coach and may include other coaches from the same business.

Sending and managing messages

  • Type in the box and tap the arrow to send. A message can be up to 4,000 characters.
  • Press and hold a message to Reply, Copy or add a reaction.
  • Press and hold your own message to Delete it. It then shows as “This message was deleted”.
  • A message shows “Sending…” until it is delivered.

Messages are text only. Photos, files, voice notes and video cannot be sent. Send progress photos through a check-in instead.

Messages arrive live while the app is open.

Notifications

  • A push notification arrives when your coach messages you, showing your coach’s name and photo.
  • If you have not read it after 30 minutes, you also get an email.
  • Change this in Profile > Notifications > settings > Messages.

Resources

Resources are guides, videos, documents and links your coach shares with you.

  • Resources are grouped: Videos, Audio, Images, Documents, Links and Files.
  • Use Search resources to find one.
  • Pull down to refresh.

  • The “unopened” badge is kept on your phone. After reinstalling the app or on a new phone, items may show as unopened again.
  • You cannot upload or share files yourself.
