Changelog

What's new in Assistant Coach. Most recent updates first.

September 12, 2026​

  • Fixed: Help links and guidance now match the current apps. Billing opens the Assistant Actions guide, clients are directed to their coach when they need support, and the roadmap guide no longer points to a missing sidebar link.

September 11, 2026​

  • New: On Pro, the assistant now prepares meal estimates and workout-video form review drafts automatically, without using assistant actions. Coaches on Free or Starter can still request either review when they want one, while demo clients continue to show the automatic workflow for every coach.
  • Improved: AI credits are now called assistant actions throughout the coach app. Each review or draft you request uses one action, so the balance is easier to understand and compare across plans; Stripe receipts and checkout records may still use the previous AI-credit name.
  • Fixed: Meal estimates based on a client's plan now keep their confidence level and keep calories aligned with the estimated macros, making the nutrition summary more consistent when a client describes a familiar meal.

September 10, 2026​

  • Improved: The notification bell is now a standard part of both the coach and client apps. Replies, workout feedback, comments, completed goals, and plan updates stay together in the app without depending on a rollout setting.
  • Fixed: Completed workouts now read back in the order the client trained them, with untouched exercises clearly separated underneath. Reordering exercises during a workout is saved too, so the client and coach see the same sequence afterwards.
  • Improved: Meal estimates can use a client's planned ingredients and portions when their note or photo supports a match. Notes such as “usual breakfast, but half the oats” can account for the change without listing the whole meal again. Check the ingredient details when a photo is unclear; estimates can still misidentify foods.
  • Improved: New demo workspaces now include a realistic superset, saved repeat meals, food-by-food nutrition history, and a completed video form review, making more of the coaching workflow ready to explore before inviting a client.

September 9, 2026​

  • New: Your client is told when you activate a workout or meal plan, in their app and by email, so you no longer have to send a separate "the new plan is up" message. You see what was sent before and after it goes.
  • New: After you edit a plan a client already has, the plan card offers to let them know, with an optional line explaining the change. Your edits stay live as soon as you save them either way — the reminder only controls whether the client gets a heads-up, so rebuilding a block over several sittings still sends one message.
  • Improved: After a client finishes a workout, they now see the finished stats card before choosing a photo. One clear Share action opens their phone's share sheet; where that is unavailable, it is labelled Save instead.
  • Improved: Workout plan PDFs now put your plan description directly under the title and remove the repeated overview block, so the purpose of the plan is easier to spot before the sessions begin.
  • Improved: Coach screens now consistently call the plan your client follows their active plan, matching the Active label on the plan itself.

September 7, 2026​

  • Fixed: Adding exercises to older workout plans now keeps their numbering consistent, including when adding to several sessions at once. Supersets and circuits stay together when the plan is saved.

  • Improved: Foods a client logs often now rise above equally close search matches, making repeat meal logging quicker without hiding a better match.

  • Improved: The coach home page now leads with work that needs attention instead of empty overdue sections. Lane filters use clear names and counts, so the next useful task is easier to spot.

  • Fixed: When automatic meal estimates cannot start because AI credits have run out, the meal stops showing as pending and tells the coach what happened. Clients only see that the estimate is unavailable.

  • Improved: Open an exercise's full progress trend directly from its personal-best history in a check-in, without leaving the review flow.

  • Improved: Workout exercise rows now keep common actions visible and place grouping and moving under clearly named options, making plans easier to edit on touch screens.

  • Improved: Emma's new demo workspaces show both photo-based nutrition estimates and meals logged as individual foods. Her coach chart opens a week with meal logs when the current week is empty, so you can explore the nutrition workflow before inviting a client.

September 3, 2026​

  • Improved: Reorder exercises around a superset or circuit without breaking the group, or move an exercise straight to another workout session. This makes it quicker to reshape a client's week while keeping grouped work together.
  • Fixed: Workout plan details and session changes now stay together until you save the complete plan, so editing a plan's name or guidance cannot replace exercise changes you made at the same time.
  • Improved: Workout plan PDFs now include the plan description, and Neck is available when choosing an exercise's muscle group, so exported guidance and exercise records carry the detail you intended.
  • Improved: Calories and macros now line up consistently across nutrition journal cards with a photo, note, or food log, making a client's meals easier to scan.

September 2, 2026​

  • Improved: Every meal in a client's Nutrition journal now shows calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat at a glance, whether the client logged foods directly or shared a photo or note. Planned targets sit alongside the totals when available, while the ingredient detail and estimate reasoning stay one click away.
  • Fixed: Clicking Save more than once while creating a workout plan no longer creates duplicate plans. One save finishes at a time, and a failed save can still be retried normally.
  • Fixed: Nutrition screens now stay open when an older meal estimate contains an unexpected macro range, so coaches and clients can keep reviewing the meal instead of seeing the page fail.

September 1, 2026​

  • Improved: Nutrition trend values now stay readable on phones, including low-to-high ranges that split neatly across two lines instead of crowding neighbouring days.
  • Improved: When drawing on a workout video frame or meal photo, coaches can now choose green to mark what a client should keep doing, alongside the existing correction colours.
  • Improved: To-do timing settings now show each value together with its unit — such as “24 hours” — so review deadlines are quicker to scan and adjust.

August 28, 2026​

  • New: Clients can bring back meals they eat regularly in one tap. Their recent and repeat meals now appear in food search, and they can give a meal a name, change its foods later, or remove it from their usuals without changing meals they already logged.
  • Improved: The Added by you filter now keeps a client's own named meals and foods together, so the things they created are easy to find without searching the full library or adding a duplicate.
  • Fixed: Sheets and food-search screens now keep the page behind them still, so a client can scroll, tap, and type inside an open layer without the nutrition screen moving or swallowing the first tap.

August 27, 2026​

  • Improved: Clients who add their own foods can now find them again quickly. A new "Added by you" filter in food search lists just the foods they've added, with the ones they log most at the top and a reminder of when they last used each. Their own foods also now rank higher in ordinary search, so a home recipe or local takeaway comes up when they type its name.

August 26, 2026​

  • New: The weekly nutrition bars are now clickable. Pick any day — on a check-in or on a client's Meals tab — to open that day's meals, where you can read the notes, see the estimates, and reply without leaving what you were reading.
  • Improved: The Coach Assistant now keeps the right client in mind across follow-up questions, so you can ask about a client's intake or nutrition and continue with natural questions such as “What macros should I give her?” without naming them again.
  • Improved: Calories now stay aligned with the protein, carbohydrates, and fat entered when coaches set meal-plan targets or add foods, and when clients add a missing food. You can still type over the calculated figure when a food label differs, while the macro calculator clearly separates its suggestion from the target you choose.
  • Fixed: Meal-photo estimates now identify what the client actually ate from their photo and note without borrowing ingredient names from the planned meal. Planned calories and macros still provide the comparison, making reviews less likely to include a food that was only on the plan.
  • Improved: Clients can find more everyday foods in search, add the same ingredient to separate meal options without a duplicate warning, and use new single-leg press and calf-extension machine exercises in workout plans.
  • Improved: Client meal logs stay in the Nutrition journal without creating a new bell notification for every meal, keeping the notification list focused on activity that needs a coach's attention. Food search and check-in training details also stay easier to read while scrolling.

August 25, 2026​

  • New: Clients can now log meals by searching for foods and entering the amount they ate, with an option to add their own food when it is missing. They can review, edit, or delete the meal, and add an optional photo or note; you see the same food and macro breakdown in their Nutrition journal without waiting for an estimate.
  • New: Each client's Meals tab now gives you a quick view of this week's calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The same nutrition glimpse appears alongside a check-in, so recent eating patterns are easier to discuss while you review progress.
  • Improved: Meal history stays easier to follow when clients log meals later in the day, and the client app keeps today's nutrition summary visible before the first meal. Meal photos also finish saving sooner on slower connections.
  • Improved: Exercise personal records opened from a check-in now lead straight to the workout review's set-by-set detail, making it quicker to understand what changed.

August 24, 2026​

  • Fixed: When a client enters an invalid number in a check-in, the client app now highlights the exact question and explains what to correct without clearing their answer. Check-in questions also keep the wording you wrote, so clients see your form exactly as you intended it.

August 20, 2026​

  • New: Meal logs no longer have to appear on your to-do list. Under Settings → Your to-do list, Add meal logs to my to-do list turns those to-dos off, and each client has the same switch under Nutrition → Meals so you can keep them for the clients who need close nutrition attention. Clients keep logging either way, you still see every meal, and switching them back on brings back anything you have not reviewed. See Profile & Preferences.
  • Improved: When a workout has no new clip for an exercise, you can now open the latest video that client shared for it without leaving the session review. The earlier video is clearly dated and stays read-only, so you can compare their current work with the last form you saw while keeping today’s feedback separate. See Exercise Videos & Workout Photos.
  • Early access: Selected coaches can now send one short email the morning after a client misses a check-in. It only sends if the form is still outstanding, never repeats for the same weekly check-in, and pauses from the fourth missed week until the client checks in again. Coaches with access can turn it off under Settings → Communication settings. See Check-in Emails.

August 18, 2026​

  • New: An Indian packaged food library is available under Food libraries in your settings. Switch it on and 929 branded products your Indian clients actually buy appear in the meal plan food search — Amul dairy, Britannia and Parle biscuits, Haldiram's namkeen, Maggi noodles, Epigamia and Milky Mist yoghurt, and protein bars from Yoga Bar and The Whole Truth. It is off by default, so nothing changes for coaches who do not need it.
  • New: Clients can correct their latest check-in until you review it or reply. The same check-in is updated in place, so wrong numbers do not create duplicate entries or misleading trend points, and you can see when the client last made a change.

August 17, 2026​

  • Improved: Your to-do list now sorts by the kind of work waiting. Tap "3 form videos" or "4 check-ins" to see just those and work through them in one go, instead of switching between videos, check-ins and meal reviews one at a time. Each button shows how many are waiting and how many are running late.
  • Improved: Every kind of to-do now has its own icon and colour, so you can tell a check-in from a form video at a glance. Rows are shorter and say how late something is in plain words — "2 days overdue" rather than a date you have to work out.
  • Fixed: Workout logging now keeps the set number and entered values steady while a save finishes, so clients do not see the logger jump ahead or lose their place on a slower connection.
  • Improved: Notes and written answers now keep their original line breaks across check-ins, meal and workout plans, resources, and coach to-dos, making longer guidance easier to read.
  • Fixed: Google sign-in now appears reliably on narrow phone screens for both coaches and clients.

August 15, 2026​

  • Fixed: Saved workout sets now stay visible while the client app catches up after a weak or offline connection. A slower refresh can no longer replace a newer saved set, so clients can keep logging without completed work disappearing.

August 14, 2026​

  • Improved: Meal plan PDFs now label each meal as breakfast, lunch, dinner, or another meal type. When a meal has alternatives, the PDF numbers the options clearly so clients know to choose one rather than eat them all.

August 13, 2026​

  • Improved: Alternate meals are easier to build and reuse. Add an alternate from the meal heading, rename it in place, compare its foods and macros, and choose which option is primary. Alternates now stay attached when you duplicate a meal plan or save it as a reusable template.
  • Improved: Meal-photo reviews now use one AI credit, and competing review requests recover without leaving estimates stuck or using an extra credit.
  • Improved: While reviewing a workout, coaches can see their most recent note for each exercise, making it easier to follow up on the same cue. Coach saves also keep working after opening the demo client app in another tab.

August 12, 2026​

  • Improved: Workout sets recover more reliably when a phone's local storage stalls. The client app checks whether a save actually completed before retrying, keeps the page and background sync from competing, and only asks the client to try again when the set was not saved.
  • Improved: Meal calorie and protein estimates are less likely to remain stuck loading when several meals are logged close together. If an estimate is no longer available, the client app now stops the loading animation instead of leaving it spinning indefinitely.
  • Improved: Coaches can paste a copied image straight into a meal-review reply, and custom meal-option names are safely preserved as plain text in exported PDFs.

August 9, 2026​

  • Improved: Clients see recent check-ins sooner, then can load older weeks five at a time, so long histories stay quick to open without hiding past progress.

August 7, 2026​

  • New: Clients can open their active meal plan as a clear, phone-friendly page in the client app, with daily targets, coach notes, portions, and per-meal guidance. Meals now has its own tab, while coach-shared files and links live under Resources.
  • New: Offer clients more than one option for a meal. Add a main option plus any number of alternates — a quick backup for busy days, a dining-out choice, or interchangeable breakfasts. Clients see every option in their plan and on the PDF and follow whichever suits their day; the main option is what counts toward their daily targets.
  • Improved: Supersets and circuits are now available to every coach. The Meal Plan Builder also adapts more cleanly to narrow screens, and video feedback now guides coaches to pin a cue, drawing, or reference photo to the right moment.
  • Improved: Open Emma's client app in a separate tab without copying login details or leaving your coach account. The demo stays clearly marked, and anything you enter remains on Emma's demo profile.
  • Improved: Client setup emails now explain how to add the client app to a phone for one-tap access, expired setup links give a clear recovery step, and the coach assistant can answer intake and nutrition questions from the client's recorded answers.
  • Improved: Home and client check-in screens now load with fewer unnecessary waits on slow connections, and meal photos recover more reliably when the connection drops or stalls.
  • Fixed: Exact nutrition estimates now show one value instead of a repeated range, and branded protein-bar quantities are matched more reliably when clients describe what they ate.

August 6, 2026​

  • Improved: Completed supersets and circuits are easier to read as one group, with each exercise labelled by its place in the group and sets shown as rounds. The exercise list also works more smoothly by keyboard, and a stalled local save now stops with clear retry guidance instead of hanging.
  • Fixed, rolling out gradually: The coach assistant now describes to-dos by their real due status—such as overdue, due today, or upcoming—and will not invent an “important” or “high priority” label that was never recorded.

August 5, 2026​

  • Improved: Move between workout sessions from one compact tab row, so you can switch days without opening and closing large cards. Supersets and circuits are also easier to follow in the client app and clearer in exported workout PDFs.
  • Improved: Client photo check-ins now recover more helpfully when a selected photo cannot be read: written answers stay saved, only the affected photo needs choosing again, and coaches see a loading placeholder while intake photos are prepared.
  • Improved: New coach signups now link clearly to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before account creation, with the accepted Terms version recorded alongside the account.

August 4, 2026​

  • Improved: Build or update a superset or circuit from one clear exercise list. Choose every exercise that belongs together, set the rounds once, and add or remove exercises later without rebuilding the group.
  • Improved: Clients get clearer circuit guidance before and during a workout, including the exercise order, rounds, and where they are in the group. Daily nutrition summaries also avoid repeating the same exact estimate twice.
  • Fixed: If a workout plan cannot save because an exercise is no longer available, the message now names the exercise when possible and explains what to do next.

August 3, 2026​

  • Fixed: Supersets and circuits now stay grouped from the moment a client previews a workout through every round they log, including when they start offline. Clients see the exercises, shared rounds, and rest together before starting, instead of the workout silently falling back to a flat exercise list.

August 2, 2026​

  • New, rolling out gradually: Build supersets and circuits directly in workout plans and reusable templates. Link exercises that should run back-to-back, choose shared rounds and between-round rest, and the client app guides each exercise and round in order. Existing plans without groups continue to work as before.
  • Improved: Meal estimates, meal photos, and the notification badge now recover more reliably after a weak connection, an expired image link, or time away from the app, so clients see finished estimates and coaches see new activity without repeatedly refreshing.
  • Improved: Photo uploads are prepared before sending across progress updates, forms, meals, profiles, and feedback. This keeps uploads smaller where possible, while workout feedback with photos posts sooner because preview work now finishes in the background.

August 1, 2026​

  • New: Clients can now log any meal, not just the ones in their plan. When adding a meal they tap a common meal — Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, or Snack — or name their own, so every log arrives clearly labelled instead of as a vague "other". Especially helpful if you set calorie and protein targets without fixed meals: your clients can still log everything they eat, each meal named for you.
  • Improved: Meal logging now asks clients for a fuller description when calorie and protein estimates are enabled, helping the estimate account for ingredients, rough amounts, oils, sauces, drinks, and sides that a photo can miss.
  • Improved: AI tools now show the credits used and the real balance left, including top-ups, so you can see the cost before you run them and the updated balance afterwards.
  • Improved: Destructive actions now use clear in-app confirmation screens that explain what will be removed before you continue.

July 25, 2026​

  • Improved: Meal photos and image-based feedback now open much faster on weaker connections. Journals and comment threads load a lightweight preview first, while the full-quality image is fetched only when you open it.
  • Improved: Calorie and protein estimates are cleaner to scan in client meal history, daily summaries, trends, and coach meal reviews, without extra approximation symbols beside the values.

July 24, 2026​

  • Improved: Add a food to several meals at once in the Meal Plan Builder. Choose the meals together, set the quantity once, and confirm — useful for shared foods such as cooking oil, vegetables, or supplements.

July 23, 2026​

  • Fixed: Clients brought in through an import can now be invited when you are ready. Send setup email and Copy invite link prepare their client app access automatically, while importing alone still sends nothing.

July 22, 2026​

  • New: The quick guided tour now tailors itself to how you coach. When you start it, we ask whether your clients are online, in person, or a mix, and shape the walkthrough to match. If you coach in person, it shows how to log workouts and record progress on a client's behalf, even for clients who never open the app. You can update how you coach, or restart the tour, anytime from Settings.

July 21, 2026​

  • New: When you reply to a client's meal photo, you can add an image to make your point. Draw on photo lets you circle a portion or mark a swap right on their meal; Add image attaches a reference picture from your device. It sends with your note, and the client's original photo is never changed.

July 17, 2026​

  • Improved: Clients can tap the trend icon on an exercise PR goal to see how that exercise is progressing across logged workouts, then switch to the underlying workout history without leaving the goal.

July 16, 2026​

  • New: Your Clients page now shows who hasn't joined their client app yet. Clients who haven't set up their login get a badge — "Not invited yet" or "Hasn't joined yet" — plus a one-tap Send setup email button right on their card, and their page puts Resend Setup Email and Copy Invite Link front and centre. Copy the link and send it over WhatsApp or text if email isn't landing; everything switches back to normal the moment they're in.

July 15, 2026​

  • New: Coaches can request a form video for a specific exercise and add an optional filming note. Clients see the request before the workout and at the exercise while logging; the request clears after the requested video is successfully attached to a completed workout. This feature is rolling out gradually.

July 14, 2026​

  • Improved: Replace the PDF or video behind an existing client resource without deleting it or sharing it again. The resource keeps its name, client note, and audience, while clients see the new file the next time they open it.

July 13, 2026​

  • New: Coaches on every plan, including Free, can buy one-time AI credit top-ups when they need more credits without changing plans. Choose 40 credits for £5, 100 credits for £10, or 250 credits for £20; purchased credits never expire.

July 7, 2026​

  • New: The check-in review now has a Training this check-in section. When your client logs their workouts in the app, you'll see the week at a glance — which days they trained, any new personal bests, and one-tap access to review each session — right alongside their check-in. If you'd rather not ask, you can drop the "how did your workouts go?" question from your form.

June 21, 2026​

  • New: Coaches can turn on Remind me to check in mid-week in Settings. Assistant Coach adds a to-do for each active client around the middle of their check-in week, so proactive follow-ups do not slip through the cracks.

June 9, 2026​

  • New: Comment on any exercise in a client's workout. Open a completed workout and, under each exercise, tap Add a comment to reply to what they did — whether or not they filmed it. Add a short note and up to four photos; your client sees it as a Your coach note right under their own note and gets a notification. One comment per exercise, and you can edit or remove it anytime.

June 6, 2026​

  • New: Client Resources — upload PDFs and MP4 videos once, then share them with selected clients or everyone from the new Resources area.
  • Improved: Clients can open coach-shared guides and videos inside their Plans tab, with in-app PDF and video previews instead of being sent to a new browser tab.
  • Improved: Resource videos are optimized before upload when the browser can safely shrink them, helping larger welcome or coaching videos upload faster.

June 5, 2026​

  • Improved: Clients can add one workout note at any point while logging a session, save it with Done, edit it again on the summary, and see it clearly in coach workout review.

May 26, 2026​

  • Improved: Reviewing client workout videos got a big upgrade — tap + Add comment on the video to pause it, grab the current moment, and leave a note (and an optional drawing) pinned to that exact second. Past comments now show as blue markers on the timeline and as a quick comments list.

May 25, 2026​

  • New: Workout video feedback now supports timestamped notes, image attachments, frame capture with simple annotation, and tap-to-seek review for coaches and clients

May 13, 2026​

May 13, 2026​

  • New: Meal-plan calorie & macro calculator rebuilt as a 3-step wizard (Profile → Goal → Macros) with a recap strip that keeps BMR and TDEE visible the whole way through
  • Improved: Age, gender, and height answers from the intake form now sync to the client profile automatically, so the calculator and trend analysis no longer start empty

May 12, 2026​

  • New: Clients can read their own previously-written exercise notes while logging a workout and on each workout's detail page — today's note and prior notes are merged into one journal-style list

May 7, 2026​

  • New: Plan templates — build a reusable workout or meal plan structure once, then assign it to any client as a draft you can tweak before activating

May 2, 2026​

  • New: Client workout calendar — clients can scan completed workout days by month and tap a day to open the workout detail

April 21, 2026​

  • New: Coach data export — download a ZIP of your core structured workspace data from Settings

April 17, 2026​
