TrainerForce -- Personal Trainer Online Resources, Business Tools

What's the latest buzz?!

TrainerForce believes in the importance of staying up-to-date with latest fitness trends, technology advancements and even your client's personal needs. So, we continually add new features to our system and new enhancements, all at no additional cost to our members. On average we add at least one or more new features/enhancements to our system monthly!

Here's our latest major additions!

New Social Networking Sharing Feature

Tap into the HUGE popularity of social networking sites (like Facebook and Twitter) by giving YOUR clients the ability to share their My Active Profile features with their friends and family.

Your clients can now invite friends and family to watch and support them on their wellness journey. On your client's individual My Active Profile (MAP) member's home page is a journal section which allows your client to enter daily written journal entries. If a client chooses to, they can invite friends and family to a special login page where they can read the journal entries. PLUS, those that are invited to that special page can even add their own journal entries to help support and motivate your client. These entries are viewable by all who have access to the unique login page.

This is an incredibly powerful new tool! Peer support has been proven time after time to increase the success rate of those wanting to lose weight and/or improve their fitness. Encourage your clients to start using this new feature today! They have control to choose who they want to invite on their wellness journey.

With the new feature friends and family also can see Quick Stats: Number of times client has logged into their MAP page; Date of last login; Date last workout log was submitted; Date last food log was submitted.

NEW Customizable Newsletter

Now you have the option of sending a ready-to-use newsletter to both your clients and prospects every month. We provide the rich content. You add your personal touch -- like your company name, website address, upcoming event information... anything you want to include.

You even can customize it based on who you are sending it to -- you can include one set of information for your clients and a separate message for your prospects! You even have the option each time a newsletter will be sent to choose whether or not you want the newsletter sent to your mailing list(s) or not.

We do all the work and manage the process for you. You reap the benefit of providing valuable information to your clients and prospects and having a regular touchpoint to keep in contact with them.

Give Clients Phone Log Access

It's easier than ever for clients to report about on-their-own workout sessions. They simply dial a designated number and record their details, which are then viewable by you online. No more excuses from your clients. Picking up the phone and speaking results is incredibly easy.

Audio messages are automatically stored in your TrainerForce account for you to listen to whenever you log in and also your client can access and listen to them as well.

With this new feature your clients can:

Record a message for the trainer. This is another great way for your clients to easily stay in touch with you. No computer access is necessary. And the client doesn't have to be concerned about calling you unnecessarily and "bugging" you. They call the number, leave a message and you receive an e-mail notification alerting you to the new message.

Record a workout log. This new feature can be particularly valuable for your clients that are less comfortable using the computer and those who are just super timed-crunch. They simply dial the number and provide their details about the workout.

Record a food log. Accurately completing a food log can be challenging for some clients, particularly if they are eating out. Now, with this great phone log option your client can be sitting at a restaurant (or driving home from one) and dial the number to leave detailed information about what they ate.

Record a My Active Profile journal entry. Journaling is an incredibly effective way for clients to reach their goals. So imagine the great convenience of simply talking their thoughts (rather than always writing/typing them) whenever they want and those being recorded and saved for future access.

Cell Phone Access:

Your clients will find this new feature incredibly valuable. They will be able to access their workouts, nutrition and more through their Internet-enabled cell phones. They simply access on their phone's web browser the unique mobile web address you provide to them and then login. There they will see:

Workout Plans assigned by you
Meal Plans assigned by you
Comprehensive Nutritional information
Historical Workout Logs
Historical Food Log
Their My Active Profile journal for reviewing and updating
Messages with their trainer for reviewing and adding to

Unite Clients Through TeamUp Fitness

TeamUp Fitness provides powerful collaboration features trainers can offer their clients to encourage group workout and fitness success. TeamUp Fitness highlights include:

Create unlimited numbers of teams in order to group individuals together and set their goals for success. The team overall receives a score as well as each individual also receives scores.
Each team gets its OWN, unique home page where team members can interact with each other -- this includes sending group messages to each other, uploading videos and even the ability for team member's to send private messages to one another. This is great for teammate support and friendly competition.
Trainers manage all aspects of the team setup and execution. You, of course, get access to the unique team home page. There you can add your own comments and videos to congratulate/encourage clients during the "competition". You also can create Team Challenges that are customized, intermediate goals that keep the team effort unique and fresh and keeps clients from burning out on the overall goals too soon. Your recommended team challenges are posted on the team home page for all the members to view.
Great for supporting your group training or boot camp programs. Use our TeamUp Fitness module to provide a central online resource for these participants. Keep them connected with great communication tools so that they can foster the team effort even when you're not together.

With TeamUp Fitness, TrainerForce gives you the next great tool to support your business. Online communities and social networking sites (such as Myspace and Facebook) are rapidly gaining in popularity. Take the great features of online communication we've already pioneered with our exclusive My Active Profile and extend them further with innovative team tools that encourage group fitness success.
