  1. Complete the 90-second onboarding wizard
    • A five-card wizard pops up the first time you log in (questions on business size, coaching style, primary goal, etc.). Your answers let Spur.Fit pre-load the right workout and meal-plan templates.

3.1 Adding new clients

    1. Click the purple Add Client button (top right of Home).
    2. Fill in name, email, time-zone, starting stats, and any tags.

    1. In the Home table, click ⋯ Actions → Copy Invite Link for any row marked “Lead.”
    2. Paste the link into WhatsApp, Instagram DM, or email.

3.2 Understanding statuses

  • Active – The client has accepted the invite and at least one program or workout.
  • Pending – Invite sent, but the client hasn’t finished registration.
  • Archived – Coaching paused; data stays in read-only mode and the app is locked for the client.
  • Leads – People you’re nurturing who haven’t received an invite yet.

3.3 Tracking client progress

  2. The Summary tab shows weight charts, progress photos, and overall compliance.

  5. Enable Compliance Alerts (bell icon) to get a push notification whenever the client’s adherence drops below your chosen threshold.

4. Workout Creation

4.1 Choose your builder

  1. Ask Co-Pilot – Fastest route. Answer a few prompts and get a ready-to-assign workout in seconds.
  2. Text → AI – Type a free-form prompt such as “45-min no-equipment HIIT for beginners.” The AI structures sets and reps automatically.
  3. Manual Builder – Start from a blank canvas for total control.

You’ll find all three under Fitness → Workouts → New Workout.

4.2 Using the Exercise Library

  • Filter by muscle group, equipment, difficulty, or mechanics (e.g., unilateral).
  • Hover any exercise to preview the demo video.
  • To upload your own demo: click Upload Video, trim to 8–15 s, and save.
  • Star an exercise to make it appear first in search and AI suggestions.

4.3 Structuring sessions

  1. Add a Warm-Up block (mobility or light cardio).
  2. Drag in Main Sets—supersets, circuits, EMOMs. Rename blocks for clarity.
  3. Finish with Cooldown / Stretch.
  4. Click Preview to check flow, then Save.

5.1 Four ways to build

  1. Ask Co-Pilot – Tell the AI the goal (“high-protein vegetarian”) and watch it draft a full day.
  2. Food-Based AI – Type preferred foods (“oats, paneer, chickpeas”). The planner balances macros around them.
  3. Macro-Based – Enter total calories + protein/fat/carb grams; AI selects foods to match.
  4. Text-Only – Paste a recipe list or simple meal guidelines in markdown.

5.2 Editing & macro control

  • Drag meals to reorder or duplicate.

5.3 Assigning & collecting feedback

  • Hit Assign → Choose Client(s) → Start Date.
  • Clients can rate each meal 👍/👎 and leave comments or photo swaps. All feedback appears on "CHAT" as well as on the plan under the "Schedule" Ta

6. Programs

  1. Navigate to Fitness → Programs → New Program.
  2. Give it a name and drag in Workouts, Meal Plans, Habit Cards, and scheduled Messages.
  3. Set repeat rules (e.g., Workout A every Mon/Wed/Fri for six weeks).
  4. You can also, click on "Templates" & create a new one to reuse later.
  5. Assign the program to individual clients or batches; everything drops neatly onto their in-app calendars.

7. Forms & Surveys

  • Go to Forms → Create Form.
  • Add blocks: multiple choice, Likert scale, file upload, numeric slider, etc.
  • Under Deliver, pick a one-off date or a recurring schedule (e.g., every Sunday at 7 PM).
  • Results land in Forms → Submissions and also appear on each client’s timeline.

8. Payment Integration

  1. Open Payments and click Connect Stripe or Connect Razorpay.
  2. Paste your secret keys, then press Verify & Activate. A green “Active” badge confirms the link.

  4. Need a quick pay link? Go to Payments → Links → Generate, choose the product, and share the generated URL with a client. Transactions sync automatically to their profile.

9. Analytics & Progress Tracking

  • Summary – Weight trend, compliance %, login streak, progress photos side-by-side.
  • Strength – Personal-record graph plus total volume per movement. Useful for planning deloads or progression jumps.
  • Habits & Activities – Steps, sleep hours, meditation minutes, custom habits. Great for spotting lifestyle bottlenecks.

Adjust programs from here: e.g., reduce training volume if weekly tonnage spiked >15 % or add a recovery day when sleep averages <6 hours.

10. Messaging & Communication

  • Individual Chat – Open a client profile and click Chat to send text, images, PDFs, video, or voice notes.
  • Groups – In Messaging, click + New Group to create a community chat (ideal for challenges).

  • Speed things up with /quick-replies like /How was today’s workout? You can edit templates under Settings → Quick Replies.

11. Client Mobile App Experience

What your clients see:

  • Today – A timeline of scheduled workouts, habits, and forms. They tap a workout, check off sets, enter weights, and rate RPE.
  • Meals – Daily meal plan, macro targets, and a camera button to attach food photos.
  • Chat – Two-way messaging with push notifications.
  • Progress – Weight graph, progress-photo carousel, and habit streak counters.
  • Clients can reschedule a session by long-pressing it and choosing Move; you’ll see the change in real time.

12.  Best-Practice Quick Tips

  • Low compliance? Shorten workouts temporarily and set automated reminder messages.
  • Client silent for a week? Send a friendly “Everything okay?” broadcast to all low-login clients.
  • Launching a new challenge? Duplicate a proven program, adjust dates, and broadcast the invite link to your Lead list.
  • Upsell idea: Build a premium assessment form (movement screen, nutrition intake) and attach a payment link before granting access.
