Using the Weekly Weigh-In Sheet to Track and Coach Client Progress
The Weekly Weigh-In Sheet is a core accountability and tracking tool used during the 6-week challenge. It allows both coaches and clients to monitor weekly progress in weight and body fat, catch non-compliance early, and optimize results through timely nutrition or training adjustments.
Purpose of the Weigh-In Sheet:
-
Track Progress: Monitor each client’s weight and body fat weekly to identify trends or stagnation.
-
Ensure Accountability: Keep clients engaged and consistent by requiring weekly weigh-ins.
-
Support Retention: Provides a simple visual overview to praise progress and drive deeper commitment.
-
Drive Intervention: Spot red flags and intervene with coaching adjustments as needed.
When to Use It:
-
At the end of each client's final workout for the week (weeks 1–5 of the challenge).
-
During the nutrition orientation (Week 0) to record initial weight and body fat.
-
Week 6 results are collected during the Final Weigh-Out Meeting, not self-recorded.
Setup Instructions:
-
One Sheet per Cohort:
-
A cohort = clients sold within the same 2-week period.
-
Each cohort has its own sheet.
-
-
Placement:
-
Keep the sheet on a clipboard near the scale and body fat scanner.
-
Ensure pens/pencils are available so clients can self-record.
-
-
Initial Setup (Week 0):
-
Input each challenger’s full name in the Name column.
-
Fill in their initial weight and body fat under “Week 0” (from sales or orientation).
-
-
Weekly Routine (Weeks 1–5):
-
At the end of each client’s final session of the week, prompt them to weigh in and record.
-
Train clients to use the scanner and log data themselves when possible.
-
Coach or client enters data into the corresponding weekly column.
-
-
Final Week (Week 6):
-
Clients do not self-weigh in.
-
All Week 6 data is recorded by the coach during the final weigh-out meeting.
-
This ensures the client shows up and doesn’t skip the closing appointment.
-
Optional: Digital Backup
-
At week’s end, transfer sheet data into a digital spreadsheet to:
-
Maintain long-term records.
-
Track weight loss trends across cohorts.
-
Adjust individual client plans or praise wins with specific metrics.
-
Best Practices:
-
Remind clients weekly to weigh in and fill out the sheet.
-
Praise wins publicly in your Facebook/Trainerize group.
-
Use the sheet to support conversion conversations by showing tangible progress.
