Getting started

  • Do I have to do every setup step?

    No. Skip any step and come back to it later. Your calendar and card payments are optional too.

    Your first day guide
  • What if a client has no email?

    Add them anyway. Email is optional, and you can add it later. To invite them to the app, a phone number or an email is enough.

  • How do gym fees work?

    Set the fee on the location: a flat amount per session, a percent or monthly rent. Estimated gym costs then show in your numbers. A fee never changes what your client pays.

    Your first day guide
  • Do I have to log sessions from before I moved to TrainerSuite?

    No. Set each client's sessions left from your old records and you are done. You can log when and where past sessions happened anytime, with no deadline.

  • Do opening sessions count as money I collected?

    No. That money came in before TrainerSuite. Each session counts as earned when it is used, at the price you typed.

Sessions and packages

  • Does booking use a session?

    No. Booking never uses one. Sessions left goes down only when you confirm a session that counts, after it happens.

    Session types and packages guide
  • What is the difference between a session type and a package?

    A session type is the session you run, with its usual length and price per session. A package is a number of sessions of one type that a client buys at a price.

    Session types and packages guide
  • How is the price per session worked out?

    It is the pack price divided by its sessions. A 10-session pack for $800 is $80 a session.

    Session types and packages guide
  • How do I give different clients different packages?

    Open Settings → Packages → Assign packages to clients. Pick a client and tick what they can buy.

    Session types and packages guide
  • Can I make a package for just one client?

    Yes. A package can be for everyone, for only the clients you pick, or for one client only.

    Session types and packages guide
  • Can a client buy a package on their own?

    Not today. You send a payment request, and your client picks from the packages you offer in it.

    Give clients their packages guide

    In your payment request. A Pack menu request lists only the packages that client can buy.

    Give clients their packages guide
  • What does Usual mean on a package?

    Give clients their packages guide
  • Which session statuses use a session?

    Completed, No Show and Late Cancel charge by default. Cancelled does not. A session that charges uses one of the client's sessions or is marked as owed. You can rename statuses or add your own.

    Update it on their page, then make a new code. A code is tied to the phone or email the client had when you made it.

    Invite your clients guide
  • Can I invite all my clients at once?

    Not yet. Each client gets their own code, one at a time.

    Invite your clients guide

    Not today. You book the sessions. A client can cancel or ask for a new time, and a new time happens only when you approve it.

    No. A client sees only their own sessions, sessions left and payment requests. Never other clients, their sessions or your private notes.

    What your clients see guide
  • Do clients get notified when I book a session?

    Not today. The session shows in their app right away, and in their own calendar if they turned on calendar sync. They do hear back when you approve or decline a change they asked for.

    No. A client never sees other clients or your private notes.

    Cancellations and reschedules guide
  • What happens if a client cancels late?

    The session is charged, the same as when you mark a late cancel. The client sees the charge before they confirm. Before the late window, nothing is charged.

    Cancellations and reschedules guide
  • How do I hear about a client change?

    Three ways: your notifications in the app, a push on your phone if notifications are on, and an email.

    Cancellations and reschedules guide
  • Can I stop clients cancelling in the app?

    Yes. Cancelling and asking for a new time are both on to start. Turn either off in Settings, under Clients, on the Cancellations & reschedules page.

    Cancellations and reschedules guide
  • Why don't I see my client's workout from today?

    It comes in the next time your client opens TrainerSuite on their iPhone. Apple only lets apps read Health data while they're open.

    See your clients' workouts guide
  • What can I see from my client's Apple Health app?

    Workouts, heart rate, steps, sleep, weight and body fat. Nothing else from their Health app.

    See your clients' workouts guide
  • Does my client need an Apple Watch?

    No. Steps come from the iPhone, and workouts from any app that saves to Apple Health. Heart rate and sleep need a watch.

    See your clients' workouts guide
  • What if my client stops sharing Apple Health?

    You stop seeing new data. If they disconnect, TrainerSuite deletes what it stored. Workouts they typed in themselves stay.

    See your clients' workouts guide
  • My client doesn't see Apple Health in Settings. What now?

    Ask them to update the TrainerSuite app and open it on their iPhone. It isn't in the browser or on Android.

    No. They open the link on any phone or computer, with no sign-in. Clients who use the app also see the form there.

    Forms and waivers guide
  • Can I use the waiver I already have?

    Yes. Upload it as a PDF or as photos of the paper, and your client sees it just as it is.

    TrainerSuite can't promise that. The templates are sample wording, so have your waiver checked for where you train.

Calendar

  • Do I have to connect a calendar?

    No. Without one, your sessions just live in TrainerSuite. Connect Google or Apple if you schedule there, or if you want the sessions you create added to your calendar.

    Connect your calendar guide
  • How does a calendar event become a session?

    When the event's title has a client's name. Full name and initials already count, and you can add nicknames. An event that matches no client, or more than one, waits for you.

    Connect your calendar guide
  • What happens if I move a session in my calendar?

    If you made the session in TrainerSuite, move it in TrainerSuite and the calendar event follows. If it came from your calendar, its new time comes into TrainerSuite until you confirm it. After that, a change is flagged for you instead.

    Connect your calendar guide
  • Can a calendar event charge a client?

    No. An event can become a session, but nothing touches sessions left or amounts owed until you confirm what happened and how to charge.

    Connect your calendar guide
  • What happens if I disconnect my calendar?

    Syncing stops. Events TrainerSuite added stay on your calendar as ordinary events, and your past sessions stay in TrainerSuite.

    Connect your calendar guide
  • Can my clients see their sessions in their own calendar?

    Yes. Clients with the TrainerSuite app add them from Settings → Calendar sync. It shows only their own session times and places, never money.

    Connect your calendar guide

Payments

  • How do payment requests work?

    You send a request for a package or an amount. Your client opens the link and pays the way they like. Card payments confirm themselves. For Venmo, Zelle, cash and the rest, you tap Confirm payment received.

    Payment requests guide
  • Can clients pay with Apple Pay or a credit card?

    Yes, once you turn on card payments with Stripe. Pay by card opens Stripe's checkout, where they can use Apple Pay, a card, or Link.

    Payment requests guide
  • Does my client need the app to pay?

    No. The link opens for anyone, and your client does not need an account to pay.

    Payment requests guide
  • Does sending a payment request charge anyone?

    No. Sending it records nothing. Card payments confirm themselves; everything else waits for you.

    Payment requests guide
  • What happens when a client pays by Venmo?

    The Venmo link opens with the amount already filled in. They send it, then you tap Confirm payment received and the sessions are added.

    Payment requests guide

    No. Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, cash and check happen directly between you and your client. Card payments are charged on your own Stripe account and pay out to your bank.

    Payment requests guide
  • When are the sessions added after a payment?

    A card payment for a package or sessions adds them right away. For a plain amount, you choose what it covers. Everything else adds them the moment you confirm the money came through.

    Payment requests guide
  • Does an automatic payment request charge my client?

    No. It sends your payment request, and your client chooses whether to pay. Nothing is charged automatically.

    Automatic payment requests guide
  • When does an automatic payment request send?

    Once, when a client gets down to the number of sessions left you choose, which is 1 to start. It won't send another while that request is still open.

    Automatic payment requests guide
  • Is it the same as a low balance alert?

    No. A low balance alert only tells a client they're running low. An automatic payment request sends them your request to pay.

    Automatic payment requests guide
  • Can one client get a different automatic request?

    Yes. Each client gets the request you saved, or one you change just for them.
