The Goals tab on the client dashboard is your central hub for managing everything about a client's targets — nutrition, habits, body composition, and scheduled future changes.
Where to Find It
Go to Trainerize Clients and open a client
Click the Goals tab in the left sidebar
The Goals tab has 4 sub-tabs:
1. Nutrition Targets
Set daily calorie and macro targets that sync directly to Trainerize.
Macro Input Modes
Calories Only — just a calorie target
Calories + Protein — calories and protein
Full Macros — calories, protein, carbs, and fat
AI Nutrition Suggestions
Click AI Nutrition Suggestions to let the AI calculate recommended targets based on the client's age, gender, weight, height, goal, activity level, and recent compliance data. The AI explains its reasoning in detail.
Custom Days
Toggle Custom Days to set different targets for each day of the week. Mark days as Training or Rest for different caloric needs.
Variance %
Set the tolerance for adherence tracking (5% to 50%). This determines how close the client needs to be to their targets for it to count as "on track" in the Compliance Tracker.
Saving Options
When you click Save Targets, you get two choices:
Apply Now — pushes targets to Trainerize immediately
Schedule for Later — pick a future date and time. A background job applies the targets automatically.
You can also notify the client via Trainerize message or Telegram with an AI-generated summary of the changes.
Change History
Toggle Change History to see a log of all past nutrition target changes.
2. Daily Habits
Assign habits that appear in the client's Trainerize app.
3 Types of Habits
Preset Templates — 19 built-in Trainerize habits (Eat Protein, Eat Vegetables, Practice Eating Slowly, Digital Detox Before Bed, etc.)
Custom Habits — create your own with a custom name
Smart Habits — AI-powered habits that send personalized messages (managed in Smart Habits)
Configuring a Habit
For each habit, set:
Start Date (must be today or future)
Duration in weeks
Days of Week — toggle Mon through Sun
Tracking
Each existing habit shows: days active, current streak (with flame icon), longest streak, completion count, and a calendar view of completions.
Filtering
Filter habits by status: Current, Upcoming, or Past.
3. Body Composition
Set weight and body composition goals that sync to Trainerize.
Two Goal Types
Weight Goal — set a target weight, weekly rate (e.g., 0.5 kg/week), starting weight, and start date
Text Goal — a qualitative objective (e.g., "Build lean muscle while maintaining strength")
The goal type is auto-suggested based on the client's goal category (e.g., Weight Loss → Weight Goal, Muscle Building → Text Goal).
Progress Overview
When a weight goal is set, you'll see:
Starting Weight → Target Weight → Amount to Lose/Gain
Current weight from latest Trainerize data
Progress bar (0-100%)
Weight Progression Projection chart — historical progress line, current weight point, and projected future trajectory with estimated completion date
4. Scheduler
View and manage all scheduled future goal changes in one place.
Two Views
Calendar View — month grid showing scheduled changes as colored pills (blue = nutrition, green = habits, purple = body composition, pink = weekly nutrition). Click a future date to create a new scheduled change.
List View — chronological list of all scheduled goals with type, status, date, time, notes, and a delete button
Status Types
Pending (yellow) — queued, will be applied at the scheduled time
Applied (green) — successfully applied by the background job
Cancelled (red) — was cancelled before it applied
Filter by status: All, Pending, or Applied.
How it works: When you save nutrition targets and choose "Schedule for Later", the change appears here. A background job checks periodically and applies the goals to Trainerize at the scheduled date and time — automatically.
