How to View Client Progress Photos and Compare Before & After

View progress photos from Trainerize on a timeline, compare before and after with side-by-side Cinema Mode, use AI photo analysis, and export branded comparison images.

Written by Xenios Charalambous

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
