What's New: Member Onboarding Flow — Track Selection & Goal Setup

Release v1.0.32

Starting a new gym can be overwhelming. With v1.0.32 we've shipped a guided onboarding flow that takes every new member from sign-up to a fully configured, personalised training experience — in one sitting.

Why This Matters

The value of the platform comes from the connections between training data, recovery signals, goals, and community. An unconfigured member profile means generic programming, missing readiness data, and no buddy connection. The new onboarding flow closes all of those gaps before a member ever sees the home screen.

What's in the Flow

1. Programme Track Selection

Members pick the primary training track that matches their goals — for example, strength, conditioning, or endurance. This selection is the foundation of AI-personalised programming. The platform uses it immediately to determine session structure, loading targets, and scaling tiers.

2. Wearable Connection

Members are walked through pairing a supported health wearable. Connecting a device at onboarding means recovery scores, sleep data, and readiness signals are available from the very first session — so the AI coaching layer has real data to work with straight away.

3. Initial Goal Setup

Members define what they are training for. These goals anchor progress benchmarks, inform how sessions are scaled, and give coaches and the AI layer a reference point for long-term planning.

4. First Morning Check-In

Completing a morning check-in is a core daily habit on the platform. New members do their first one as part of onboarding. This seeds the readiness baseline, introduces the check-in format, and means the home screen is already populated with meaningful data.

5. Meet Your Buddy

The buddy system is one of the platform's primary community and accountability features. During onboarding, members are introduced to how it works. Once all onboarding steps are complete, the buddy-matching algorithm runs automatically — so members never have to navigate to a settings page or manually request a match.

Home Screen Unlock

The full home screen experience is gated behind onboarding completion. This is intentional: it ensures every member who reaches the home screen has a track, goals, readiness data, and a buddy match in progress. Coaches and gym owners can expect a meaningfully higher quality of data from day one, and members get a genuinely personalised first session rather than a blank slate.

For Gym Owners and Coaches

• New member profiles will arrive complete with track, goals, and an initial readiness snapshot.
• Buddy matches are triggered automatically — no manual intervention required.
• Members who drop off mid-onboarding will not appear as fully active until the flow is finished, making it easier to identify and follow up with members who need a nudge.
