Messaging Clients in Trainerize
Trainerize’s built-in messaging system lets you easily communicate with your clients—either one-on-one or in bulk—while still making every message feel personal. This guide walks you through how to use the messaging tab to send direct messages, group messages, and automated check-ins using client name personalization.
💬 Step 1: Open the Messaging Tab
-
From the left-hand Trainerize sidebar, click “Messaging.”
-
This opens a feed showing all recent client conversations and group chats.
🧑💻 Step 2: Start a New Message
You can send a message to:
-
A single client (e.g., Timmy)
-
Multiple clients at once (e.g., Tony the Tiger, Ari, and Tina)
To message:
-
Click “+ New Message” or similar icon.
-
Type in the name(s) of the client(s) you want to message.
-
Compose your message using personalization:
-
Example:
How was your workout today? 💪
-
✅ Trainerize will replace placeholders like [First Name] so it appears personalized even in group sends.
🔁 Step 3: Use Smart Personalization
When you send to multiple clients:
-
Each message appears individually and privately
-
Clients see only their name and won’t know it was a group message
-
This creates a personal touch while saving you time
🔍 Example:
You send:Hey [First Name], how was your workout today? 💥
Each client receives:
-
“Hey Ari, how was your workout today?”
-
“Hey Tony, how was your workout today?”
✅ Step 4: Sending & Managing Replies
-
After composing your message, hit Send or press Enter
-
Clients receive the message in real-time in their Trainerize app
-
To see or respond to replies:
-
Click each client’s name in the messaging feed
-
Carry on one-on-one conversations directly from there
-
✨ Bonus Tip: Emoji & Motivation Matter
-
Emojis make your messages more fun and engaging 🎯
-
Use regular short prompts like:
-
“Proud of your effort today 🔥”
-
“What’s your plan for the weekend workouts? 💭”
-
“Need help with anything before Monday?”
-
