Check-ins
Know how every client’s week went.
Write your questions once. Raelan sends them on the day you choose, clients answer from their phone, and every answer waits for you in one list.
Six starter templates · Before and after sessions · Free
How it works
Set it up once. Read it every week.
Choose who gets it, and when.
Pick a schedule, or send it around one-on-one sessions. Make it your default, give it to a tag, or change it for one client.
Read, reply, done.
Answers wait in your To review list, oldest first. Add a reply if you want one, and the check-in is marked reviewed.
Two kinds of check-in
On a calendar, or around a session.
On a calendar
The weekly one you never have to send.
Daily, weekly on the day you pick, every two weeks, or on the 1st of each month. A check-in still open when the next one goes out is marked missed.
- Weight Loss, Strength & Hypertrophy, Endurance & General, and Rehab & Mobility templates
- Number answers with a unit, like kg or hours
Around a session
How they feel before, how it went after.
A readiness check goes out in the 12 hours before a confirmed one-on-one session, and a recap goes out when you mark the session done.
- Pre-Workout Readiness and Post-Workout Recap templates
- One of each per client, tag, or default
Your client’s side
One question at a time, from their phone.
“Your check-in is ready” appears in their thread with you, and on their home screen the day it is due.
- One question per screen, and they can skip what does not apply
- Photos from their library, kept private or shared with you
- Progress photos saved to their Vault
- Every check-in counts toward their streak and earns XP
Who it helps
The hard week, caught early.
For you
Hear about it before the session.
A bad night’s sleep or a sore knee reaches you in their answers, so you can adjust the plan before they walk in.
- A To review count on your home screen
- Each client’s past check-ins, marked Due, To review, Reviewed, or Missed
- Check-ins turned off for one client when you need to
For your client
Heard between sessions.
A few questions on a set day, answered from the couch, and a reply from their coach in the same thread.
Part of the whole system
Answers that land where you already work.
Messages
In the thread you already share.
The check-in opens from their conversation with you, and your reply goes back the same way.

Sessions send the before and after.
A confirmed one-on-one session sends the readiness check, and marking it done sends the recap.

Tags choose who gets what.
Give a check-in to a tag, and anyone you tag later starts on the next send.

Showing up counts.
Each check-in they send counts toward their streak and earns XP toward their level.

Check-ins that live with the coaching.
Usually
On Raelan
Check-ins live in a form tool, and the answers in a spreadsheet.
Questions, answers, and your reply sit in the app, next to their program and thread.
You remember to send the form every Monday.
It goes out on the day you pick, to everyone with the tag.
“How are you feeling today?” is a text on the morning of the session.
A readiness check goes out before each one-on-one session, and a recap after.
Unread answers pile up in an inbox.
One To review list, oldest first, cleared as you mark each one reviewed.
Questions
What can a check-in ask?
A scale with your own labels at each end, a number with a unit, text, yes or no, a list they pick one or more from, or a photo. Clients can skip a question that does not apply.
When do check-ins go out?
Daily, weekly on the day you choose, every two weeks, or on the 1st of each month. Session check-ins go out before a confirmed one-on-one session and after it is marked done.
Can different clients get different check-ins?
Yes. Set one as your default, give others to a tag, and change it for a single client. The most specific one wins, and a client you tag later starts on the next send.
How do clients know one is ready?
“Your check-in is ready” appears in their thread with you, and on their home screen the day it is due. Clients who turn on check-in notifications get a push as well.
What happens if a client misses one?
It stays open until the next one goes out, then it is marked missed, so your list only shows what is current.
Are there charts of the answers?
Not yet. Today you read each check-in and see every client’s past check-ins. Insights are coming soon.
