How Weekly Reviews Work

Understand the weekly review process with your Fitmate coach. Learn what happens in sessions, how to prepare, and how to get the most from your reviews.

What to expect from your weekly coaching sessions and how to get the most from them.

What Happens During a Weekly Review

1. Your Coach Reviews Your Data

Before the session, your coach looks at your meal logs from the week, your habit completion, and any messages you’ve sent. They come prepared with observations and insights.

2. You Discuss What Happened

Together, you review the week — what went well, what was challenging, what patterns emerged. This is collaborative, not a lecture. Your experience and context matter.

3. Identify Key Insights

Your coach highlights patterns — maybe you’re hungrier on certain days, or specific meals leave you satisfied longer. These insights drive what you work on next.

4. Set Next Week’s Focus

Based on everything discussed, your coach sets one clear habit or focus for the coming week. Just one — not a list. This becomes your daily tracking target.

Session Types

Call Sessions

Duration: 15 minutes

Format: Video or phone call (your choice)

Best for: Deeper discussions, asking questions, building relationship with your coach

Text Sessions

Duration: ~10-15 min of messaging

Format: Asynchronous text exchange

Best for: Busy weeks, when you prefer written communication, quick check-ins

You alternate between calls and text sessions each week. This keeps coaching accessible while ensuring regular face-time with your coach.

How to Prepare

  1. Log Your Meals

    Try to log most meals throughout the week. Even incomplete logs are helpful — your coach would rather see something than nothing.

  2. Track Your Habit

    Mark your daily habit completion. This gives your coach data on what’s working and where you’re struggling.

  3. Note What You Want to Discuss

    Think about any questions, challenges, or wins you want to mention. Coming with something specific helps make sessions productive.

Common Questions

What if I didn't log all my meals?

Log what you can remember, even if it’s not everything. Partial data is still useful. Your coach would rather see incomplete logs than no logs at all. They can work with whatever you have.

What if I had a bad week?

Bad weeks happen — they’re part of the process. Your coach won’t judge you. Instead, they’ll help you understand what happened and how to set up better for next week. Honest reflection on tough weeks often leads to the best insights.

Can I reschedule my session?

Yes. Life happens. Reschedule through the app or message your coach directly. Try to give at least 24 hours notice when possible, but last-minute changes are okay occasionally.

Can I request more calls or more text sessions?

The alternating format works best for most people, but talk to your coach if you have a strong preference. They can sometimes adjust based on your needs and their availability.

What if I don't have anything to discuss?

Your coach always comes prepared with observations from your logs. You don’t need to have questions — they’ll guide the conversation. That said, even “nothing special happened” is useful information.

Tips for Better Reviews

  • Be specific. “I felt hungrier on Thursday” is more useful than “it was a hard week.”
  • Share context. Let your coach know about upcoming travel, stress, or schedule changes.
  • Mention wins. Don’t just focus on problems — celebrate what went well too.
  • Ask questions. If something your coach suggested isn’t clear, ask for clarification.
