Getting Started: Accepting Your Invite & Setting Up

Getting Started: Accepting Your Invite & Setting Up

Join your coach and complete your first-time setup — it only takes a few minutes.

When your coach adds you, you'll get an invitation to join. The app then guides you through a short setup so your coach has everything they need. Here's the full journey.

1. Accept your invitation

  1. Download and open the app. If your invite link included everything you'll go straight in; otherwise tap Enter Invite Code, type the code your coach sent, and tap Go. (Already have an account? Tap Login.)

  2. On “You've been invited”, tap Accept Invitation (this accepts the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy), then Start Set Up on the welcome screen and Let's Go on “Here's what to expect”.

2. Check your details

  1. Your coach has already added your name, email and phone. Check they're right, update anything, add a photo if you like, then tap Next.

3. Connect your health data

  1. Choose your health data source — Apple Health, Google Health, Whoop, Oura or Garmin — and tap Connect. This lets your coach see how you move, sleep and recover.

Your privacy: your data is private and secure, shared only with your coach, and you can disconnect any time. You can Skip, but you'll be reminded that without it your coach can't see the full picture.

4. Connect your fuel data

  1. Next, connect a nutrition app so your coach can see what you eat — options include Apple/Google Health, MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, Fat Secret, MacroFirst and My Macros+. Tap Connect.

5. Tell us your goals

  1. On “Now let's get to know you”, you'll pick your goals as bubbles — tap a bubble to make it bigger; the bigger the bubble, the more important that goal is to you.

  2. You'll do this across a few themes: Fitness goals, Health & Wellbeing, Body & Appearance, Lifestyle & Habits and Performance & Sport. Tap Next through each.

6. Your body stats

  1. Enter your body weight (choose Metric kg/cm or Imperial lbs/in), your height, your date of birth, and your biological sex. These help your coach and the AI set accurate targets.

7. Activity level & how you're feeling

  1. Set your activity level with the slider (e.g. Very Active — 6–7 intense workouts a week), then pick how you're feeling from the mood options.

8. Medication, injuries & health

  1. Add any medication (search, toggle it on, and enter the dose, e.g. 50 mg, then Save).

  2. Flag any injuries or limitations (toggle “Yes” and add a note), then answer the Important health questions (heart condition, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, and so on).

9. You're all set

  1. Tap Finish. You'll see “You're All Set” — your coach is ready, and you're taken into the app to start.

Good to know: all of this powers your learning phase, where the app gets to know you before your coach personalises your plan.
