Clients#
How many clients can I have?
3 on the trial and Free, then 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 or 200 on the Solo plans. At a gym, the gym's plan sets a shared limit.
Do archived clients count?
No. Archive clients you no longer coach to free up a spot.
Do my clients pay for the app?
No. They use Totality free as your clients.
What do my clients see?
Their programme and sessions, their food log and targets, their weekly check-in and your replies, their bookings, messages with you, and your shop if you have one. There's a separate guide for clients.
Coaching#
Can I build a programme once and give it to lots of clients?
Yes. Assign it to as many clients as you like.
Can I copy last week's session into this week?
Yes. Copy from Week N in the session, or Copy week in the programme builder.
Do I have to run sessions with my clients?
No. Clients can log their own sessions from their app. You see everything they log.
What's RPE and why does it matter?
Rate of perceived exertion, how hard a set felt out of 10. Auto-regulation uses it to suggest when to change a client's load.
Can clients see my coach notes?
Yes. Coach notes on an exercise show to the client as "Note from your coach". Private notes on their profile don't.
Check-ins and Tali#
When do clients do check-ins?
Weekly, with a reminder on Sunday morning. They can also skip a week.
How much does Tali cost?
Tali credits come with every Solo plan (50 to 600 a month). Check-in replies and nudges use 1 credit, a programme draft uses 5, and her daily brief and meal logging are free.
Is Tali on the Free plan?
No. She's in the trial and every Solo plan.
Will Tali message my clients without asking?
No. She drafts, you edit and you send.
Schedule and payments#
Can clients book their own PT sessions?
No. You book PT sessions. At a gym, clients can book classes.
What's "Pending settlement"?
A session booked when the client had no credit. Cash it off once they have one. See Credits.
How do I take payments?
With the POS add-on (A$9.99 a month on a Solo plan) and Stripe payouts set up. See Getting paid.
What fees are there?
A 3.5% platform fee on payments your clients make in the app: PT packages, one-off charges, payment links and shop sales. It is taken from your payout and never added to what your client pays. On PT packages and one-off charges, Stripe's own card fee also comes out of your payout.
Does my calendar sync?
Yes. Google Calendar two-way, or a one-way link for Google and Apple Calendar. See Calendar sync.
Gyms#
I work at a gym. Do I pay?
No. The gym's plan covers you.
What changes when I join a gym?
The gym can see your clients, your own billing ends, and you get Gym Members, Classes and shifts. See Joining a gym.
Where do payments go at a gym?
To the gym's Stripe account.
