Progress Photos in the Compliance Tracker

View client progress photos (front, side, back) directly inside the Compliance Tracker with thumbnail previews and full-size lightbox mode.

The Compliance Tracker can display your clients' progress photos directly in the grid — no need to leave the page or open Trainerize. See front, side, and back pose thumbnails for each client, and click any photo to view it full-size.


How to Enable Progress Photos

  1. Look for the Display Options section below the filters

  2. Find the Progress Photos toggle (with the camera icon) and switch it on

Once enabled, photo thumbnails will appear inside each week (or day) cell for clients who have submitted progress photos.


What Poses Are Shown

FitMetrics pulls progress photo data from Trainerize and displays up to three pose thumbnails per day or week:

  • Front

  • Side

  • Back

If a client only submitted one or two poses on a given day, only those poses are shown. Days with no photos display a dash (—).


Weekly View vs. Daily View

Weekly View

In weekly view, the tracker checks the entire week for progress photos. If photos were submitted on any day during that week, small thumbnails appear inside that week's cell for the client. Multiple days with photos within the same week will show all available pose thumbnails grouped together.

Daily View

In daily view, each day cell shows the exact photo thumbnails submitted on that specific day. You get a per-day breakdown — making it easy to see exactly when a client took their photos and which poses they captured.


Thumbnails and Full-Size Lightbox

Photos appear as small square thumbnails inside the grid cells. To view a photo in full size:

  1. Click any thumbnail in the grid

  2. A lightbox opens showing the full-resolution image

  3. The lightbox label shows the pose type and date (e.g., "Front - 2026-03-20")

  4. Click outside the image or the close button to dismiss

This works the same way in both weekly and daily views.


Where Photos Come From

Progress photos are synced automatically from Trainerize. When a client submits progress photos in the Trainerize app, FitMetrics pulls the photo data during its regular sync process.

Photos are loaded efficiently using a caching system — once a photo has been loaded, it won't need to be fetched again during your session. FitMetrics first checks its own storage for a fast copy, and falls back to Trainerize if needed.

Pro Tips

  • Use daily view for photo check-ins — quickly confirm which clients submitted their weekly progress photos and which ones you need to follow up with.

  • Combine with other display options — enable Progress Photos alongside Weight and Nutrition metrics for a complete picture of each client's week.

  • Click to compare — open full-size photos during coaching calls to discuss posture, visible changes, or form improvements with your client.

  • Pair with notes — enable the Notes toggle alongside Progress Photos. When you spot something in a photo, add a coaching note right from the tracker.

  • Photo compliance at a glance — in daily view, you can instantly see which days a client took photos vs. which days they skipped, helping you coach consistency.
