The Leaderboard is a powerful ranking system built into FitMetrics that creates friendly competition between your clients. It ranks them based on five key metrics — workouts, nutrition, weight loss, habits, and steps — using a flexible, point-based scoring system that you fully control.
How It Works
The Leaderboard automatically calculates scores based on client activity synced from Trainerize. You set the scoring weights — deciding how much each metric contributes to the total score (they must add up to 100%). For example, you might give workouts 30%, nutrition 30%, and split the rest between habits, steps, and weight loss.
Clients are ranked by their total score, and the top 3 earn medal badges (gold, silver, bronze). You can click on any client to expand their detailed score breakdown.
Scoring Modes
The Leaderboard supports six scoring modes so you can run different types of competitions:
Overall — combined weighted score across all metrics
Weight Loss Only — ranked purely by weight transformation
Workouts Only — ranked by workout consistency
Nutrition Only — ranked by nutrition compliance
Habits Only — ranked by habit completion rate
Steps Only — ranked by step count (averages or totals)
Switch between modes using the Scoring Mode dropdown on the leaderboard page. You can also set a default scoring mode in Settings so it always opens on your preferred view.

Smart View Filter — show only clients from a specific smart view, perfect for running separate competitions for different client groups
Achievements & Streaks
Clients earn achievement badges based on their performance. There are 9 achievement types — from Perfect Workout Warrior (100% workout completion) to Step Master (15K+ daily steps) to Long-term Committer (12+ weeks tracked). All thresholds are customizable in Settings.
Consistency streaks track how many consecutive weeks a client stays at 80%+ overall compliance — rewarding long-term dedication.
