Why Can't I Log Into the Client App as a Coach? (Coach)

Coaches cannot log into the FITR client app using their coaching credentials. Learn how to create a separate client account to experience FITR as a client.

Updated today

Coach and client accounts on FITR are completely separate. If you are a coach, you cannot log into the FITR client app using your coaching account credentials. You need a separate client account to access client features.


πŸ“‹ When to use this

  • You are a coach trying to log into the FITR client app but your credentials are not working

  • You want to experience FITR from a client's perspective

  • You want to test how your programs look in the client app


βš™οΈ Why this happens

Coach and client roles use separate account systems. A coaching account email cannot be used to log into the client app - the two are kept distinct to maintain the correct permissions for each role.


πŸ–₯ How to create a client account as a coach

You can create a client account using an email alias so everything arrives in your existing inbox:

  1. Use a + alias on your existing email - for example if your coach account is [email protected], sign up as a client with [email protected]

  2. Emails sent to the alias will arrive in your normal inbox

  3. Make sure you are logged out of your coach account before signing up as a client

  4. Download the FITR Client App and log in with the alias email


πŸ”§ Troubleshooting and FAQs

My email alias is not working for sign up

  • Make sure the alias uses the correct format - the + symbol goes before the @ sign, not after. For example: [email protected]

Can I use the same email for both coach and client accounts?

  • No - each account requires a unique email address. The + alias method is the easiest workaround.
