Set up your athletes' check-ins

What it's for

A check-in is a form you push to your athletes at the frequency you choose: fatigue, pain, sleep quality, motivation, weight, etc. You pick the questions. It gives you a regular signal without having to ask.

Create a check-in

1. In the planning, open check-ins: header icon on semi-perso, athlete pill ⋮ menu on individual coaching. Then the Check-ins tab.
2. Click New check-in and name it (e.g. Morning wellness).
3. Questions tab: add and order your questions.
4. Settings tab: frequency, audience, reminder time.

Check-ins belong to your space: one check-in can cover several programs. No check-in comes ready-made: you pick your questions. Not available on one-shots.

Question builder

Available question types:

• Short text or long text.
• Scale (adjustable Min and Max, 1 to 5 by default), RPE (1 to 10 by default), mood.
• Weight, body fat, measurement, photo, body map (pain areas).
• Sleep (hours), steps, calories, hydration, free number.
• Single choice (radio) or multiple choice (checkboxes).

Each question can be required or optional. Drag and drop to reorder. Numeric questions are prefilled with the previous check-in's answer to save the athlete time.

Frequency

• Daily: every day or only the ticked days.
• Weekly: the weekday you pick.
• Monthly: a day of the month, 1 to 28.

Once a check-in has answers, its frequency is locked. Duplicate it to create another one.

Who for

All my athletes (future sign-ups included), One program or A selection of athletes.

A new athlete's first check-in

A new athlete is not asked right away. Their first check-in covers the first period that starts after their first validated session. If they validate no session, they are still asked one full period after enrolling (1 day, 7 days or 1 month depending on the frequency). An athlete already followed who adds a program keeps their rhythm.

Reminder and period

Pick the push reminder time (9am by default). One push per athlete, however many check-ins are due that day. The active period is optional, handy for a challenge. Pause suspends a check-in without deleting it.

Automatic health data

On the mobile app, the steps and active calories questions offer a sync button: the athlete imports their weekly average from Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android) in one tap.

Direct link

Copy the /app/checkin link to share in a conversation or by email. Athletes land directly on the form. A program's ⋮ menu also offers Share checkin.

Review responses

As soon as an athlete submits, you get a notification. Click to see all their answers. A per-athlete, per-week history is kept.

Automatic weight logging

If one of your questions asks for weight, the value is automatically added to the athlete's weight history (visible in their profile).

Monitor training load

To anticipate injury and accumulated fatigue, cross-reference check-in answers with the acute-to-chronic workload ratio. The ACWR calculator places your athlete in a risk zone (undertraining, sweet spot, caution, danger).

Total score and alerts

Add up the scale answers (a Hooper index for example) and get alerted past a threshold: see Check-ins: total score and alerts.

0-100 wellness score

For each numeric question, Counts toward the wellness score decides whether it feeds the 0-100 score (sleep, recovery, soreness, stress, fatigue, mood, energy, motivation, pain). You can also set a target (e.g. 8000 steps) and add an illustration image or video.

Unbrokn computes the score per athlete, with the 4-week trend. You find this score in the athlete's evolution.
