Stop coaching on WhatsApp: a better client check-in routine

Most trainers coach through a mix of WhatsApp messages, screenshots and memory. It works for five clients. At fifteen, things slip, someone's been off-plan for two weeks and you only notice when they cancel.

Move to one weekly check-in

Pick a fixed day, Sunday evening or Monday morning, and review every client the same way. Clients know when to expect you, and you stop firefighting all week.

The four numbers to look at

Make one change per week

If a client is behind, change one variable: drop a session, swap an exercise they dread, or adjust calories by a small amount. Changing everything at once makes it impossible to know what worked.
