Coach Mode · Free for athletes and coaches

Your coach sees every check-in. Automatically.

No more texting photos, digging through camera rolls or sending blurry screenshots. Finish your check-in and your coach already has it, every pose, full quality, lined up next to last week.

Free. Sharing with your coach doesn't need a subscription, and coaches pay nothing to follow their clients.

Why athletes love it

Check in. That's it. Your coach gets every new session on their own, with nothing to send.

The real photos, not compressed copies. Your coach sees your check-ins at full quality, the same as on your phone, so they can actually judge conditioning.

Same pose, same framing, every week. Your coach compares you side by side and builds timelapses from your actual check-ins, with no guessing whether the lighting changed or the angle moved.

You decide what they see. Share every session, or pick them one at a time. Unshare anything, any time.

For coaches

Every client in one place. Free.

No more chasing check-ins across texts, email and DMs. Each client gets their own library in your app: view every pose, compare any two check-ins side by side, build a timelapse and export it. Search clients by name, sort by show date, and see new check-ins the moment they land.

Turn it on in Profile → Coaching → For Coaches, then open My Clients → Invite a client and send the link. One link works for all your clients.

Set it up in two minutes

Connect with your coach Tap the invite link your coach sent you. Or invite them yourself: Profile → Coaching → My Coaches → Invite my coach, and text them the link. One tap on their end and you're connected.
Turn on sharing and connect Google Drive Profile → Coaching → Session Sharing with Coaches. Connect your Google account once, and when Google asks, tick the box that lets CheckIn Pro use its own Drive files. No Google account? You can make one free in a minute.
Choose what your coach sees New sessions: Share automatically or Ask each time. Past check-ins: everything, or just the sessions you pick.
Let the first upload finish Keep CheckIn Pro open while your existing check-ins upload. If you close it, it picks up where it left off. After that, each new session reaches your coach in seconds.

Your check-ins, your call

Nobody sees your check-ins unless you say so. They stay on your phone until you choose to share them, and only with the coaches you approve.

Shared sessions are locked to your coach. Every photo is encrypted on your phone before it uploads to a CheckIn Pro folder in your Google Drive, not on our servers. Anyone who finds that folder, Google included (and us), sees scrambled files. Only the coaches you add can open them, and you decide which sessions they get.

What should your coach see? Choose all history, your current show, your last 10 sessions, the last 6 months, or none
Pick exactly what your coach sees, and change it any time

You stay in control. Unshare any session from your Library, or remove a coach: they're locked out of anything new, and their copies are deleted from their phone. Coaches can view, compare and export your check-ins, but they can't change or delete them. Full details are in our privacy policy.

Prefer your own way?

Send your check-in however you already do

Already share photos with your coach? In your Library, tap Share last session (or Share on any session) and send the full-size photos straight to your own Google Drive folder, Dropbox or any other cloud app. Your choice. Each photo is named with your name, the pose and the date, so they stay organized.

Just want to email your weekly check-in? Same button, pick Mail. Simple.

Troubleshooting

Coach Mode is new and we fix issues fast. First, update CheckIn Pro from the App Store or Google Play — on both phones, yours and your coach's. Then find what you're seeing below.

Quick check: open Profile → Coaching. If you see your Google account with DISCONNECT beside it, Google Drive is connected. If you see a CONNECT GOOGLE DRIVE button, it isn't — and nothing reaches your coach until it is.

For athletes

I tapped my coach's link and nothing happened

Install or update CheckIn Pro first, then tap the link again from the text or email it came in — don't copy it into a browser.

Still nothing? Ask your coach for their coach code, then go to Profile → Coaching → MY COACHES → ADD COACH and paste it.

Google sign-in closed, or I backed out of it

Nothing is lost. Go to Profile → Coaching and tap CONNECT GOOGLE DRIVE to finish.

When Google shows its permission screen, tick the Google Drive box before you tap Continue. Without it, your check-ins can't reach your coach.

I don't have a Google account

You can make one free in about a minute, using the email you already have — on iPhone, tap Create one free under CONNECT GOOGLE DRIVE.

Rather not use Google? Use DON'T USE GOOGLE DRIVE? SEND A LOCKED FILE INSTEAD in Profile → Coaching, or send photos your own way (see Prefer your own way? above).

Google Drive permission is missing — tap SYNC NOW to allow it Drive connected, but sharing won't work

Google's Drive box wasn't ticked. Tap SYNC NOW — Google asks again — and this time tick the box for Google Drive.

My coach can't see my check-ins

1. Do the quick check above — Google Drive must be connected.

2. Keep CheckIn Pro open until your first upload finishes. If you close it, it picks up where it left off next time.

3. Make sure the session is shared: under SESSION SHARING WITH COACHES, choose SHARE AUTOMATICALLY for new sessions, or share a past session from your Library.

4. Still nothing after a few minutes? Tap Coach not connected? in Profile → Coaching and send your coach that link. One tap on their end fixes it, and it's safe to send even if you're already connected.

Google Drive is full — free up space, then tap SYNC NOW Uploads stopped

Your Google Drive storage is full. Free up space in Google Drive (or Gmail and Google Photos, which share it), then tap SYNC NOW.

Google Drive is busy — tap SYNC NOW in a minute Uploads paused

Google is slowing down requests for a moment. Wait a minute and tap SYNC NOW. Nothing is lost.

Offline — will sync when you're back online No signal

Nothing to do. Your check-ins upload on their own once you're connected — open CheckIn Pro when you're back on Wi-Fi or data.

WAITING FOR YOUR COACH My invite is still waiting

Your coach needs to tap your invite link on their phone, with CheckIn Pro installed. Unused invites expire after 7 days — tap Cancel invite and send a new one.

For coaches

Where do my clients show up?

Turn on COACH MODE in Profile → Coaching (under FOR COACHES). Your clients then appear in MY CLIENTS. To add someone, tap INVITE A CLIENT and text them the link.

WAITING FOR THEIR PHONE · AUTO-CHECKS · TAP TO CHECK NOW A client is connected but no photos yet

Their check-ins haven't uploaded yet. Usually your client hasn't connected Google Drive, or closed the app mid-upload — send them this page.

Tap the client to check again any time.

Photos are still loading

Open CheckIn Pro and go to MY CLIENTS, then keep the app open while new check-ins download. Full-quality photos take a little while on mobile data.

INVITE EXPIRED — ASK THEM TO SEND A NEW ONE An invite link stopped working

Invites last 7 days. Ask your client to send a new one, or send them a fresh link with INVITE A CLIENT.

STOPPED SHARING WITH YOU · TAP FOR OPTIONS A client disappeared

They removed you as their coach or turned off sharing. Nothing new reaches you until they share again — tap the client for your options.

I coach on a second phone or tablet

On the second device, open MY CLIENTS, find COACHING ON ANOTHER DEVICE TOO?, and paste the coach code from your first device. Shares then open on both.

Still stuck? Email physiquetracker@gmail.com with what you see on screen — a screenshot helps — and we'll sort it out.
