What types of reminders does Fitmate offer?

Fitmate offers three types: meal logging reminders, habit reminders for your weekly focus, and session reminders for upcoming coaching calls.

Can I customize reminder times?

Yes. You can set custom times for each reminder type. Most members set meal reminders around their typical eating times.

How Reminders Work

Q: How do I turn off reminders?

Go to Settings > Reminders and toggle off any reminder type you don't want. You can also adjust frequency without turning them off completely.

Set up notifications for meal logging, habits, and coaching sessions.

Types of Reminders

Meal Logging Reminders

Get notified to log your meals at times you choose. Most members set reminders after their typical meal times — like 30 minutes after lunch.

Default: Off. Recommended: 2-3 reminders per day aligned with your eating schedule.

Habit Reminders

Daily reminder about your weekly habit focus. Set it for a time when you can act on it — like morning if your habit is about breakfast, or evening if it’s meal planning.

Default: 9:00 AM daily. Recommended: Customize based on your habit.

Session Reminders

Notifications before your scheduled coaching calls. You’ll receive a reminder 24 hours before and 15 minutes before your session.

Default: On (24hr and 15min before). Recommended: Keep enabled.

Common Questions

Can I set different reminder times for different days?

Yes. You can create multiple meal reminders with different times. For example, set a lunch reminder for weekdays only, or different times for work days vs weekends.

How do I turn off reminders?

Go to Settings > Reminders and toggle off any reminder type. You can also adjust frequency without turning them off completely — like reducing from daily to weekdays only.

I'm not getting reminders. What's wrong?

Check that notifications are enabled for Fitmate in your phone’s settings (Settings > Notifications > Fitmate). Also ensure Do Not Disturb isn’t blocking them during your reminder times.

Will my coach know if I ignore reminders?

No. Reminders are private to you. Your coach sees your meal logs and habit tracking, but not whether you acted on reminders. They’re purely a tool to help you stay consistent.

Tips for Using Reminders

Start with fewer reminders. Too many notifications become noise. Start with 1-2 and add more if helpful.
Time them after meals. Set meal reminders 15-30 minutes after you typically eat, not during.
Adjust as needed. If you’re ignoring a reminder consistently, change the time or turn it off. Unhelpful reminders just create guilt.
