Coach more people.
Do less admin.
How trainers run their week on MERIT: what the system takes off your plate, the short daily routine that replaces it, and the habits that keep clients progressing and paying.
Stop doing the maths. Start doing the coaching.
Every client generates the same weekly jobs. MERIT does them from what each client logs, and brings you the decisions. Our estimate: around 20 minutes a client a week, or 5 hours a week across 15 clients.
A rhythm, not a pile of tabs.
You don't check every client every day. MERIT tells you who needs you.
- Open the roster: injuries just reported, clients slipping and form checks waiting are at the top.
- Clear your inbox by text, voice note or video.
- Glance at the flags (plateau, decline, review due) and open the ones worth acting on.
- Weekly reviews start with each client's week already summarised. Add your note and send.
- Approve, edit or reject MERIT's suggestions: sets, reps, swaps, calorie changes.
- Check each client's progress through their program and plan the next block before this one ends.
Six habits that get the most from it.
Next weights, calorie changes and plateau checks are worked out for you. Review the suggestion, change it if you disagree, and spend the time on coaching instead.
Start each day from the Needs attention list. A quiet client who's slipping gets a check-in before they think about cancelling, already worded around the reason.
Each review starts with the week summarised: training, strength, weight trend, food. Your few lines on top are what clients remember.
Intake, signed documents and starting photos happen as part of signing up. They're the baseline every result is measured against, and the proof you show your next client.
Program milestones, strength trends, your community wall and group challenges keep clients engaged between sessions, not only on training days.
You're told when a client hits a week, a month or halfway through their program. A two-line congratulations at that moment does more than a long message later.
From empty account to full roster in four weeks.
- 1Week 1: set up
Your profile, logo and colours, legal documents and how clients pay you. About an hour, and founding trainers get it done with me.
- 2Week 2: your first clients
Move two or three clients you know well. They forgive the learning curve and tell you what's confusing.
- 3Week 3: the rhythm
Run the daily and weekly routine for real. Approve suggestions instead of working them out yourself.
- 4Week 4: everyone else
Bring over the rest of your roster, put your sign-up link in your bio, and start a first challenge.
Short guides inside your console for every part of the job, each linking to the screen it describes.
Your console opens with the steps to your first client, ticked off as you go.
Founding trainers get a 1-on-1 setup and help moving clients and programs over.
