A coach's workflow using FITR is: 'Create - Write - Invite':
create programs in their coach account (web login, NOT via the Coach App)
write programming inside program(s)
invite clients to the program(s)
client signs up to the program, via their personal 'client account'
Coaches invite. Clients accept:
Legally a client must take the final step of signing up to program. A coach doesn't add clients to programs, they invite clients to sign up, because a subscription to a program can be and often is also a financial commitment.
Ways to invite
Fixed Length, Group Rolling calendar and Session 1 Day 1 programs have two ways to invite clients to subscribe:
'email invitation' - sends the URL to emails entered
'URL link' (each program has a unique URL)
1-2-1 programs have two additional choices:
'previous client' - sends the URL to their email address
'manual invite' - Name appears in the program's 'pending' tab, so a coach can pre-load a unique separate calendar. Only the coach sees this stage. Coach then selects 'invite client' beside the name inside 'pending clients' and the program's URL gets sent automatically by email. Client receives the email, clicks the URL, subscribes and then they show in the 'active clients' tab.
Invite clients whilst creating a program
Depending on the program type you're creating you can either invite clients before you start programming (manual invitation option unique for 1-2-1 programs) or after you've started programming (Fixed Length, Group Rolling Calendar and Session 1 Day 1 programs).
Invite clients to a 1-2-1 Program, whilst creating a program.
Once you've completed the first Info & Price step, you'll have four options to invite clients when creating a 1-2-1 Program. You can use one all or four of the options.
Invite current clients
Manually add
Email
Program URL
1. Invite current clients
You can choose one or more current clients to invite to the program. Once added they'll move to the 'Pending' tab. This allows you to create programming for the client before they join the program. Once you're ready, you can then send a program invite to the client and the programming you've created will be waiting for them in the app.
2. Manually add
Entering their name and email address through this option displays them in a 1-2-1 program's 'Pending' clients tab. This allows a coach to write programming content in a unique calendar prior to inviting the client to subscribe to that program and access that calendar personal to them. Once you're ready you can then send an invite to the client to subscribe. The content in their unique calendar, will be waiting for them.
3. Email
Simply send a link to the program via an email. Unlike the previous two options, clients will receive the program invite immediately. Please keep this in mind as a lot of coaches prefer to add programming then invite clients.
IMPORTANT: If you invite clients this way, you will need to wait for them to accept the invite and join the program before you can send them training. This is an important difference between the "Email" and "Manually add" options for a coach. The "Email" option sends an invitation to a new client who does not have any record in our system. Consequently, it is not possible to start programming for the client until they create an account and purchase a plan. And that is a reason why this coach wasn't able to see them in "Pending" tab. When the "Manually add" option is used, a coach adds the client's first name, last name, and email. After that, a client with "Invited user" status is recorded in our system, and the coach can start programming for them (invited clients are displayed in "Pending" tab). Regarding these options for a client, they work exactly the same way. The client receives an invitation email with a link to the coach's plan and follows identical steps.
4. Program URL
Simply copy and share the program's direct unique URL link anywhere you want.

Invite clients to a Fixed Length, Group Rolling Calendar or Session 1 Day 1, whilst creating a program.
After completing the first two steps, Info & Pricing and Programming, you'll be able to invite clients using two options.
Email: Simply send a link to the program via an email. Unlike the previous two options, clients will receive the program invite immediately.
Program URL: Simply copy and share the program's direct unique URL link anywhere you want.
Inviting more clients in the future
There's three ways to find the invite options in the future. When selected these will provide the same options as outlined above.
1. 'More' menu option from the program list
From the main Programs list page, select More and 'Sign up new clients'.
2. On the overview page of your program
Select the name of the program from your main list, then select More.
3. Directly on a client's name
If you know the name of a client who needs a program, head to their name and click the More option.
