The Preferences page lets you configure how data is displayed across your workspace — measurement units, timezones, and the language used by AI features. Some settings are available to all team members, while others are restricted to owners and admins.
Where to Find Preferences
Go to Settings → Preferences.
Units of Measurement
Who can change: Owners and Admins only
Choose between Metric (kg/cm) or Imperial (lbs/inches). This setting affects how weights and measurements are displayed for all team members across the entire workspace, including:
Client weight check-ins and body measurements
AI-generated reports
Calendar view entries
Nutrition and meal analysis data
Display Timezone
Who can change: Everyone (each team member sets their own)
This is your personal timezone for viewing times in the FitMetrics interface. Each team member can set their own display timezone so that timestamps, schedules, and activity times appear correctly in their local time.
Select your timezone from the dropdown — it shows the current local time for each option to help you pick the right one.
Business Timezone
Who can change: Owners and Admins only
The business timezone is separate from your personal display timezone. It controls how scheduled operations run across the platform:
AI Check-In schedules — when check-in messages are sent
Automated reports — when daily/weekly reports are generated
Office hours — what timezone your office hours are based on
Smart View date filters — date-based filters like "within X days" or "older than X days" use this timezone to determine what counts as "today," ensuring all team members see the same results
Automation triggers — Smart View entry/exit detection for automations uses this timezone for date calculations
Important: Make sure this is set to your primary business location's timezone. If you have coaches in multiple timezones, this should be set to the timezone you want scheduled operations to run in.
AI Output Language
Who can change: Owners and Admins only
Choose the language that AI features use when generating content. This applies to:
AI Meal Analysis feedback
AI Birthday Wishes
AI Assistant responses
AI Message Drafts

Compliance Tracker Settings
Who can change: Owners and Admins only
Status Persistence Popup
Toggle the "Keep status for future weeks" popup on or off.
Enabled: When you change a client's compliance status in the Compliance Tracker, you'll be asked if you want that status to persist for future weeks
