How to review a client's weight history

Read a client's weight entries on their Metrics tab, including who added each one and how it was recorded

Written by Agatha Beise

The Metrics tab holds a client's weight history. It's the view to open before a check-in call, because it shows the trend rather than a single number.

Follow these steps

  1. Open People and go to your clients.

  2. Open the client.

  3. Go to Metrics.

  4. Read the entries. Use the direction across several weeks, not the gap between two entries.

What each column tells you

  • Weight — the value recorded.

  • Date — when it was recorded.

  • Method — how it arrived. Manually means it was typed in. Check-in means it came through a check-in form. Exercise means it was captured during an exercise.

  • Added by — who entered it. Either the client or a coach.

Notes & best practices

  • Metrics is weight only. Wearable data from Oura and Apple Health sits in the health views, not here.

  • Weight moves day to day for reasons that have nothing to do with training. Read the direction across weeks.

  • Agree on when and how the client weighs in — same time of day, same conditions. Otherwise you're comparing numbers that aren't comparable.

  • If weights only ever arrive by check-in, the client is weighing in when your form asks rather than on a routine. Worth knowing when you read the trend.

  • Use Added by when a number looks wrong. It tells you whether to ask the client or check your own entry.

FAQ

Can I add a weight for my client?

Yes. Both you and the client can add entries, and the Added by column records which.

Does Metrics show measurements or photos?

No. Metrics is weight.

What does the Method column mean?

How the weight was recorded: typed in manually, captured through a check-in form, or recorded during an exercise.

Why is my client's Metrics tab empty?

No weight has been recorded yet, by either of you.
