What is Habits? (Coach)

An introduction to the Habits feature, what it does, and why it matters for client accountability.

Habits let you assign recurring actions like hydration, sleep, steps, or mindfulness directly into a client's program schedule, so you can track consistency alongside training.


📋 When to use this

  • You want visibility into what your clients are doing outside their workouts, not just inside them

  • You want to reinforce behaviours like hydration, sleep, mobility, or recovery that support the results your programming is built around

  • You want a way to hold clients accountable to actions that aren't logged automatically, like medication adherence or daily step count

  • You want another reason for clients to open the app and engage between sessions


⚙️ How it works

  • Add habits directly into a program's schedule, alongside training, choosing from FITR's pre-built list (hydration, sleep, steps, mobility, mindfulness, medication adherence, and recovery markers like fatigue, soreness, or readiness) or build a fully custom one

  • Set an optional target for each habit, for example 8 glasses of water or 7 hours of sleep, so clients have something concrete to log against

  • Choose a repeat pattern, daily, weekly, monthly, or custom days, so the habit populates automatically across the schedule once you set it up

  • Clients log their own completion in the FITR app and can see progress trends over 7 days, 30 days, and 3 months

  • You review adherence across all your clients using Review Mode, including completed versus missed counts and historical data


⚠️ Before you start

  • Habits are available on Trial and PRO plans. They are not available on Free

  • If you downgrade to Free, existing habits stay visible but become read-only. You cannot create new ones until you upgrade again

  • There's no automated or bulk messaging to clients based on habit completion or missed habits. You can see individual completion status in Review Mode, but you'll need to message clients directly if you want to follow up


💬 Contact Support if...

  • Habits are not appearing in a program's schedule after upgrading from Free

  • A client says they cannot see habits assigned to their program
