Using Calendar Messaging in Trainerize Master Programs
Trainerize allows you to add powerful, automated messages directly into the client calendar—helping boost accountability, improve compliance, and create a personal coaching experience at scale. This guide walks you through how calendar messaging works inside a master program, using the Six-Week Challenge as an example.
📅 Step 1: Navigate to the Master Program
-
Go to Master Libraries > Programs
-
Scroll down and open the “In-Person Six Week Challenge” (or your chosen program)
You’ll see a calendar layout showing a full breakdown of daily activities.
✏️ Step 2: Understand Calendar Messaging
In addition to workouts and progress tracking, you’ll see daily motivational and engagement messages embedded throughout the program, such as:
-
Welcome
-
Decide Picture
-
Change Your Habits
-
Food Fight
-
What’s Your Lunch?
Each message is scheduled on a specific day and appears inside the client's app like a personalized check-in or thought prompt.
💬 Step 3: Preview a Message
Click on any message inside the calendar to see its content. For example:
“Decide to stay on track. Commit to yourself and you will succeed. Have a great week. Decide. Commit. Succeed.”
Or:
“Anytime you start change, it may be easy to fall off without a plan. We’ve got your back to make sure your workouts and nutrition are on point. What is your game plan to conquer your first weekend?”
✅ These messages are written to sound human, provide encouragement, and prompt a client response.
🎯 Step 4: Drive Client Engagement
The goal of calendar messaging is to:
-
Encourage daily interaction from clients
-
Ask questions they can respond to (e.g., “What’s your game plan for the weekend?”)
-
Make clients feel seen and supported
-
Trigger two-way communication that reinforces accountability
When a client replies:
You can:
-
Acknowledge the plan with positive reinforcement
-
Offer suggestions or tweaks
-
Track their mindset or level of engagement
💡 This builds rapport and improves retention without requiring daily manual check-ins.
💡 Bonus: Customize or Add Your Own Messages
If you're customizing a master program:
-
You can edit any message
-
Or add new ones tailored to your brand, voice, or coaching style
-
Schedule them at key moments (e.g., start of the week, weekends, mid-point motivation)
