The weekly rhythm

The check-in is your structured weekly read: energy, nutrition, training, stress, sleep, weight, and their own words. Reply to every one in the thread; the reply is the product.

Automate the ask: the Automatic check-in message on your Clients page sends your check-in day message to your whole roster on your schedule (Monday morning is the FuelPath rhythm), and clients with a check-in due see it in a popup when they open the app. The Monday brief lands in your email the same morning: your roster summarized worst first, so you know who to start with.

Set each client's cadence (weekly, every other week, monthly) on their page. Their dashboard counts down to the next one, and overdue check-ins push a reminder and flag in Needs Attention.

When a client checks in, a body report is written for the period since their last one, and it appears on their Check-ins tab. Your version answers one question: does anything change this week. It separates the two situations that look identical from the outside. Eating to plan with nothing to show for it means the target is the thing to move. Not eating to plan means the conversation comes before the recalculation. Your client reads the same report, written for their side, so open it before you reply and you are both on the same page.

Each client page opens with snapshot tiles: today's intake vs target, last logged, weight, check-in status, and 7 and 30 day adherence. Their day card swipes between rings, energy balance, and weekly nutrition, exactly what they see.

Open food log shows any day of their log read-only, meal by meal. You see what they ate, not a summary of it.

Athletes have a dedicated coach channel with your face on it; they get a notification when you write. The chat bubble (top right, either mode) lists your WHOLE roster, not just people you have already written to: anyone with a conversation sorts to the top with their last message and an unread count, everyone else sits below reading no messages yet. Tap any client and their thread opens right there in the bubble with a composer, live, so starting a first conversation is one tap from any screen and you never go through the client page to say something. The Messages inbox (sidebar or More) is the same threads on a full page. Your own Today page carries a Coaching today card with unread messages, who logged, and check-ins due. Coach nudges send immediately or on a schedule (Sunday night plan reminders write themselves).

Need everyone at once? Message all clients on the Clients page sends one blanket message to your whole active roster (owners reach every athlete in the gym), now or scheduled, delivered like a nudge: dashboard notification plus a push.

Phase transitions mostly run themselves. Last week of a phase: the athlete gets a banner plus one push to review goals for the next phase, and you get notified when they finish. Needs Attention flags anyone who started a new phase without reviewing. When a phase wraps, their recap deck auto-plays (days logged, days on target, body change, top foods, habit highlights, easy wins); echo one of those easy wins in your next message and it lands twice as hard.

Between phases, the rhythm rides the check-in loop, not extra recaps: on each client's due day the check-in popup opens with your automatic message, and their Daily Brief keeps one focus in front of them every morning. The recap deck is a phase-end moment only. None of this adds push notifications; your check-in reminder stays the only one.

The Athlete Brief button generates an AI summary of their last few weeks (status, nutrition, body, engine, check-ins, suggested actions) when you need to get current fast. The team digest does the same across the whole roster.

Clients have Ask FuelPath in their chat hub (the bubble that opens their thread with YOU first): an AI chat scoped to their nutrition and their own numbers. It explains, it never changes plans, and it routes decisions to you: Send this to my coach drops the exchange into your thread with a notification. Treat those as warm leads.

You also get notified when a client completes a Learn course, and their client page shows Learn progress, so you know who actually did the onboarding.
