Getting started as a coach
How do I create my account?
Download Totality from the App Store or Google Play, or open the web app at totalityapp.com.au. Sign up with your email, then choose Solo trainer when the app asks how you work. Every plan starts with a free trial.
How do I add a client?
Go to Clients and tap Add client. Enter their name and email and Totality emails them their login. They appear in your client list straight away, ready for a programme, check-ins and nutrition targets.
Which plan do I need?
Solo plans are priced by how many clients you coach (10, 20, 30, 50 or 100). Every Solo plan has the same tools. You can move up a plan when your client list grows. See pricing for current prices.
Can clients pay me through the app?
Yes. On a Solo plan, add the POS add-on and connect your own Stripe account in Settings. Clients then pay you in the app. Totality charges no commission on your coaching revenue; a 3.5% processing fee applies to payments taken in the app.
Getting started as a gym
How do I set up my gym?
Sign up in the Totality app or at totalityapp.com.au and choose Gym when asked how you work. You'll add your gym's address and contact details, then land on the gym dashboard with a short tour.
How do I add my trainers?
Open Trainers and invite each trainer by name and email. New trainers get an account created for them. A trainer who already uses Totality as a solo coach is linked to your gym instead.
Can I bring my members across from another system?
Yes. The Import screen walks you through exporting members from your current software and uploading the file. What comes across depends on what your old system lets you export, and the screen explains this for each one.
Where are classes, payroll and reports?
All of these are in the gym admin menu on the Studio and Enterprise plans: classes and scheduling, member billing and POS, payroll summary, compliance, leads, and reports with exports.
Getting started as a client
My coach added me. How do I log in?
Check your email for a message from Totality with your login details. Download Totality from the App Store or Google Play, or use totalityapp.com.au, and sign in with that email. If the email hasn't arrived, check your spam folder, then ask your coach to resend it.
I have a code from my trainer or gym.
Sign up in the app and enter the code in the optional code field on the sign up screen. That links your account to your trainer or gym.
Do I need to pay for the app?
Your coach or gym pays for Totality. You only pay for whatever your coach or gym sells you, such as sessions or packages, if they take payments in the app.
Getting started with Totality Nutrition
How do I start?
Get the app on Google Play or use the web app at totalitynutrition.com.au. Sign up, answer the short onboarding questions, and the app sets your calorie and macro targets. You can recalculate them any time with the calculator in the app.
How are my targets worked out?
The app uses the Mifflin-St Jeor formula with your training days and daily steps, then sets protein per kilogram of body weight for your goal. The free calculator on this site uses the same maths. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the app adds extra energy, switches off fat loss and shows calories as a minimum.
I already use Totality with a coach. Do I need this too?
No. Food logging and nutrition targets are part of the Totality client app. Totality Nutrition is for people tracking on their own. Totality members get a discount on Nutrition; see pricing.
Billing and cancelling
How do I change plan or update my card? (Totality)
Open Settings, then Subscription, and tap Manage Billing. This opens your Stripe billing page, where you can change your card, see invoices and change plan. If you're a trainer inside a gym, your gym manages billing, so ask your gym admin.
How do I cancel? (Totality)
Go to Settings, Subscription, Manage Billing and cancel there. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. Our refund policy explains when refunds apply.
How do I manage or cancel Totality Nutrition?
In the Nutrition app, open Settings and tap Manage Subscription. If you subscribed on an iPhone through the App Store, this opens your Apple subscriptions, and Apple handles cancelling and refunds. Otherwise it opens your Stripe billing page.
Who processes payments?
Stripe. Card details are entered into Stripe's secure forms and are never stored on Totality's servers. More on our security page.
Your data and deleting your account
Can I get a copy of my data?
Yes. Email admintotality@gmail.com from the address on your account and tell us what you'd like a copy of. Gym admins can also export reports and payroll summaries from the gym dashboard.
How do I delete my account?
In either app, open Settings and tap Delete Account. This permanently deletes your account and your data and can't be undone. If you can't get into the app, follow the steps on Delete your account.
Does deleting the app cancel my subscription?
No. Removing the app from your phone doesn't cancel billing. Cancel first using the steps under Billing and cancelling.
Apple Health and wearables
How do I connect Apple Health?
On iPhone, open Settings, then Wearables in Totality or Connect a wearable in Totality Nutrition, and tap Apple Health. iOS asks which data to share. The app reads steps, heart rate, sleep and workouts from your iPhone or Apple Watch.
What about Android?
On Android the same screen offers Health Connect, which brings in data from watches that sync to it, such as Samsung, Garmin, Fitbit and Pixel Watch.
Can I connect more than one?
One source at a time. Connecting a new one disconnects the old one. You can turn off access any time in the same screen or in your phone's health settings.
Notifications and quiet hours
How do I choose which notifications I get?
In Totality, open Settings and go to the notifications section. You can turn push notifications on or off, choose which kinds you get, and switch off non-essential emails. You can also turn notifications off for either app in your phone's settings.
What are quiet hours?
Coaches can turn on Quiet hours in Settings. Non-urgent notifications are then held between 9pm and 7am.
I'm not getting any notifications.
Check that notifications are allowed for Totality in your phone's settings, and that push notifications are switched on in Totality's Settings. On the web, your browser needs to allow notifications for the site.
Still stuck?
Email admintotality@gmail.com or use Contact Support in Totality's Settings. Tell us which app you use, your device, and what happened. More ways to reach us are on the support page.
