Member progress tracking that shows people how far they have come

Each measure also says which direction is better: higher, lower or neutral. A deadlift goes up, a 5 km run goes down, and a plank hold is a time you want to be long, so the direction is a choice you make and never something guessed from the type. Neutral is for readings that have no good direction, such as a waist measurement.

You can group measures under your own headings, such as Body composition and Body measurements, and members see them under those titles. A measure either sits on an assessment sheet or stands alone as an ordinary result in the journal.

• Weight, for lifts and other loads
• Time, entered as minutes and seconds
• Reps, rounds plus reps, distance or calories
• A number with decimals and a unit of your choice, such as body fat in per cent, a forward fold in centimetres or hip mobility in degrees
• A level taken from a list you write yourself, for example Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Athlete
• Free text, for what cannot be measured. It is kept, and never compared

Each sheet has three settings. It is filled in by your team only, or by your team and the member. You can ask it to prompt your team to repeat it every few weeks, and the member's file then shows when the next one is due, or since when it is overdue. And you choose what the member sees of it: values and notes, values only, or nothing, which keeps the sheet for your team. You can put sections and measures in the order you want, by dragging them or with the up and down buttons.

On the member's file, the assessments of a sheet read as a table with a row for each measure, a column for each date and a Change column that gives the last assessment minus the first. The table shows the six latest dates, and a phone gets cards and a row of date buttons instead. Open a measure to see its chart over time, with every value listed underneath. A change is coloured only when you have set Higher or Lower for that measure, and a level shows as a step, for example Beginner to Intermediate.

Body measurements are treated differently on purpose. They never receive a record badge or a record message, never count towards records of the month, and never appear in a leaderboard. A member's best weight means nothing, so the screen shows the latest reading. Whether higher or lower is better only changes the colour of the change, and a neutral measure gets no colour at all.

A coach can attach a progress photo to a body reading on the member's file. It stays with that member's own record and is never shown to another member.

• Open the member's file, pick the sheet and the date, and fill in every line. Enter takes you to the next line
• Under each line sits the value from the previous assessment, which shows the coach exactly what the new reading is set against. The unit sits inside the field, and a level is picked from its list
• Set a goal for the member and write the coach's note, then press save once. Any empty line is skipped
• A value that cannot be read as a number is kept as typed, and your team is told how many could not be read
• Reopen an assessment later to correct it, or delete it

Each measure that can be ranked has its own board, in the member area. It lists each member's best result under their name, can be narrowed to the last 30 or 90 days, and for a class you can look at the board of the session you just attended. A member's own line stays visible even when they are far down the list.

The leaderboard is switched on by default, and you can turn it off in Settings under Performance. Members are told once that they appear under their name, and each one can take themselves off from their own profile. A member who has opted out can still read the boards and keeps all their results. Body measurements, neutral measures and levels are never ranked.

On each member's file, records come first, followed by the list of results. Your team can add a result, correct one, or delete one, and the form says plainly when a typed value cannot be read as a number. A goal and a level can be kept on the same file.

After a class, a coach can enter results for the whole room in one sitting. Choose the measure, then type one score per person who was there. A row left empty writes nothing, so people who were absent are simply skipped.

You turn the module on or off in Settings under Modules, with one switch. While it is off, the Performance page in Settings only points you back to Modules. When it is on, Settings under Performance holds the rest: separate switches for the member files, the member area and the leaderboard, one for whether members can log results themselves and one for celebrating a new best. Free-text measures, which let members log something that is not on your list, are off by default because a free entry cannot be compared. A studio that works by appointment starts with the module switched off, and one switch turns it on.

• Readings are typed in, by your team or by the member. There is no connection to smart scales, body scanners or watches
• Charts are drawn per measure and per member. There is no screen that analyses assessments across your whole membership, and the Compare view looks at two dates of one sheet, not at two members
• It does not verify what a member types. A result a member enters is their own word
• It is lighter than a specialist workout-tracking product. If daily programming and benchmark analysis are central to how you coach, read the comparison with Wodify
