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.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| “No conversations yet” | Your conversation appears once your account is connected to your coach. Pull down to refresh. If it stays empty, ask your coach to send the first message |
| “Messages unavailable” or “Couldn’t load your messages.” | Check your connection and tap Try Again |
| “Your message didn’t send.” | Check your connection and send again |
| No Messages icon on Home | You are viewing your personal plan. Switch to your coach with the Training with menu |
| Messages fail to send and other actions fail too | Your coach’s workspace may be view-only. See Coach clients: billing |
Resources
Resources are guides, videos, documents and links your coach shares with you.
Finding them
Go to Profile > Resources. A badge shows how many you have not opened yet.
- Resources are grouped: Videos, Audio, Images, Documents, Links and Files.
- Use Search resources to find one.
- Pull down to refresh.
Opening them
| Type | Opens as |
|---|---|
| Link | In the in-app browser or Safari |
| Image or video | Full screen |
| Audio | A player with play, pause, skip back and forward 15 seconds, and speed |
| Document or PDF | A viewer, after a short download |
Things to know
- You are not notified when your coach shares something new. Check the badge on Profile > Resources.
- 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.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| “Nothing shared yet” | Your coach has not shared anything with you |
| “Couldn’t open that” | Check your connection and try again |
| “That resource has a broken address.” | The link your coach saved is not valid. Let your coach know |
| A video stops playing | Close it and open it again |
