How do I log a workout on a client's behalf?

Record an in-person session set by set from the dashboard, save progress as you go, and discard the results if you need to.

Verified Sep 12, 2026Web + coach app

When a client trains with you in person, you can log the session for them from the web dashboard instead of asking them to enter it in the client app. This is called coach logging.

Log a workout for a client

  1. Open the client's Calendar, or their Overview's "Things to do today", and start Log workout on the workout.
  2. Enter the results set by set, including weights on interval exercises.
  3. To stop partway, open Actions and choose Save & close — the button reads Continue logging when you return. When you're done, click Complete workout.

The drawer warns you before closing with unsaved changes.

What your client sees while you log

While you're logging, the client sees "This workout is currently being logged by your coach." in the client app and can't start it themselves. If you'd rather hand the session back, open Actions and choose Abort logging, and the client can start it as normal.

Discard coach-logged results

Afterwards, the workout's results page shows a banner — "This workout was logged by you on behalf of the client." — with a Discard results action if you need to undo it.

Quick answers

Why don't I get notified when I log a workout for a client?

"Workout completed" notifications only fire when the client completes a workout themselves. Coach-logged completions are silent — you already know it happened.
