Client check-in builder.
Pick the goal you are coaching and the metrics you track, and this builds a structured weekly check-in you can copy in one tap - the numbers first, then two or three short reflection questions, in a scan-not-read format so a review takes minutes, not paragraphs. Nothing is stored, no sign-up.

Your weekly check-in
This is a Power Panel check-in. On Coachway your client submits exactly this every week, and you review the numbers, their history and their message in one view - 3 to 5 minutes per client instead of 15. Build it once, run it with every client.
Run check-ins in Coachway - 14 days freeWhat should a weekly client check-in include?
A weekly client check-in should capture the numbers you coach by - weight trend, nutrition adherence, training completed, sleep and steps - plus two or three short reflection questions: one win, one thing that got in the way, and one focus for next week. Keep the same structure every week so you scan the signal in a few minutes instead of reading paragraphs. For fat-loss and physique clients, add progress photos and a quick energy or hunger rating, since recovery and adherence predict whether the plan is sustainable. The builder above assembles this for you from the goal you coach and the metrics you track.
Scan the signal, do not read the paragraph.
The reason check-ins balloon to 15 minutes each is that they are freeform. A client writes a paragraph, you read it, and the one number that mattered - weight ticking up for the third week, adherence quietly slipping - is buried in the middle. Structure fixes that: the same fields every week, numbers first, short answers second, so a client who is drifting shows up at a glance. That is what lets a coach hold 40 clients without a 6-hour check-in Sunday. For more on the workflow, see how to run online client check-ins and our weekly check-in form template.
Frequently asked questions.
What should a weekly client check-in include?
A weekly check-in should capture the numbers you coach by - weight trend, nutrition adherence, training completed, sleep and steps - plus two or three short reflection questions: one win, one thing that got in the way, and one focus for next week. Keep the same structure every week so you scan the signal in a few minutes instead of reading paragraphs. Progress photos and energy or mood ratings are worth adding for fat-loss and physique clients.
How do I make client check-ins take 5 minutes instead of 20?
Structure the check-in so you scan instead of read. Ask for the same fields every week - numbers first, short answers second - so a client who is drifting shows up at a glance instead of buried in a paragraph. Freeform "how did your week go?" check-ins are what take 15 minutes each and hide the signal. Coachway's Power Panel puts the client's numbers, history and message in one view so a review takes 3-5 minutes.
What questions should I ask a fat-loss client each week?
For a fat-loss client, track the seven-day average morning weight and the trend, days they hit their calories and protein, training sessions completed, average steps, and sleep. Add progress photos every two to four weeks and a quick energy or hunger rating, since adherence and recovery predict whether the deficit is sustainable. Then two reflection questions: what got in the way, and what to focus on next week.
How often should online coaching clients check in?
Weekly is the standard for most online coaching - frequent enough to catch a stall or a drifting client early, not so frequent it becomes noise. Some coaches add a lighter mid-week nudge for new or at-risk clients. The key is consistency and the same structure each time, so trends are readable week to week.
Is the client check-in builder free?
Yes, completely free and nothing is stored - build a structured check-in, copy it, and use it however you like. If you want it to run automatically, Coachway sends this kind of structured check-in to every client each week and shows you the results in one place; you can try that free for 14 days.
