The Progress Photos tab on the client dashboard shows all photos from Trainerize organized on a timeline. You can compare before and after photos side by side, use AI analysis, and export branded comparison images.


Where to Find It

  1. Go to Trainerize Clients and open a client

  2. Click the Progress Photos tab in the left sidebar


Photo Timeline

Photos are organized by month (newest first). Months with more than 8 photos are subdivided into weekly sections.

Each photo shows:

  • Pose type — Front, Side, or Back (label badge on each photo)

  • Date

  • Body weight for that day (if available) with a trend arrow (green = weight down, orange = weight up)

Photos taken on the same day are grouped as a photo set (showing Front, Side, Back together).

Date Range Filter

Use the dropdown to filter: Last 3 Months, Last 6 Months, Last 12 Months, or All Time (default).


Comparing Before & After

  1. Click the Compare button (top right)

  2. Select 2 photos (or 2 photo sets) by clicking the + circle on each

  3. Click Compare Photos

The comparison opens in Cinema Mode — a fullscreen dark view with:

  • BEFORE (blue badge, oldest) on the left, AFTER (green badge, newest) on the right

  • Drag photos to reposition them

  • Zoom in/out (1x to 3x)

  • Laser pointer — draw annotations on top of the photos to highlight changes

  • Resize photos using the corner handle

For photo sets: BEFORE set shows on top row, AFTER on bottom row, sorted Front / Side / Back.


Before & After Editor

From the comparison view, open the Before & After Editor to create a branded export:

  • Export presets: 1:1 Square (1080x1080), 4:5 Portrait (1080x1350), 9:16 Story (1080x1920), 16:9 Landscape (1920x1080)

  • Side-by-side layout with BEFORE/AFTER labels, dates, weights, and your business logo

  • Independent pan and zoom per side

  • Download the image or send it directly to the client via Trainerize message


AI Photo Analysis

Select 2 photos for comparison, then click the AI Analyze button. The AI examines both photos and generates:

  • Summary — narrative overview of physical changes

  • Key changes — specific observed differences

  • Recommendations — coaching suggestions based on the progress

  • Progress score — 1-10 rating

  • Motivational message for the client

You can generate a PDF report with the AI analysis and send it to the client.

Available on Starter and Business packages.


Important Notes

  • Photos come from Trainerize — clients upload progress photos in the Trainerize app. You cannot upload photos from FitMetrics.

  • Keyboard navigation — use left/right arrow keys to navigate between photos in the single-photo view
