Pro Tip: Lifestyle Calendar-The New Way to Create and Track Client Habits in CoachRx
At CoachRx, we've always championed a lifestyle-first approach to coaching. Why? Because the most transformative results don't happen during the one hour your clients spend in the gym. They happen during the other 23 hours of the day—where habits are formed, nutrition choices are made, and lifestyle behaviors determine ultimate success.
This philosophy is at the core of everything we do. We believe that addressing sleep quality, stress management, hydration, and nutrition creates the foundation upon which effective training can be built. Without this foundation, even the most brilliant exercise programming will yield limited results.
That's why we're so excited about the enhancements to our Lifestyle Rx feature. We've made it easier than ever for you to implement this lifestyle-first approach with your clients.
What It Is:
The enhanced Lifestyle Rx feature has been completely redesigned to streamline your workflow. You can now create lifestyle prescriptions directly from your client's calendar AND leverage sophisticated tracking metrics that go far beyond simple yes/no completion.
How to Use It:
Step 1: Access the Lifestyle Calendar
Open your client's calendar
Look for the two tabs at the top: "Exercise" and "Lifestyle"
Click on "Lifestyle" to view the lifestyle-specific calendar
Step 2: Create Prescriptions Directly on the Calendar
Click on any day in the calendar
Select the broccoli icon to add a lifestyle prescription
Choose from the expanded list of lifestyle types (steps, active time, bed time, bowel movement number, calories, chews, exercise time, macronutrients, micronutrients, sleep hours, sleep quality)
Step 3: Set Detailed Tracking Parameters
Enter your instructions for the client (e.g., "Aim to get 8-10,000 steps daily")
Set specific targets with customizable ranges (e.g., 10,000 steps with a +/- 2,000 range)
Schedule reminder notifications to prompt client tracking (e.g., 8:00 PM daily)
Step 4: Create Recurring Prescriptions
Choose from flexible scheduling options: no repeat, daily, specific days
Set the prescription to repeat for up to 12 weeks (expanded from the previous 4-week limit)
Add multiple prescriptions by clicking the blue box and selecting "add prescription"
Why It Matters:
This integrated approach transforms how you design and manage client lifestyle prescriptions:
Time Efficiency: Create prescriptions in seconds, directly from the calendar interface
Better Client Compliance: Set custom reminders that prompt clients at optimal times
Longer Programming Cycles: Extend prescriptions up to 12 weeks for more consistent habit formation
Detailed Data Collection: Track specific metrics like target ranges rather than simple yes/no completion
Visual Progress Monitoring: See compliance patterns at a glance on the calendar view
Remember, the OPEX philosophy emphasizes that transformation happens during all 24 hours of the day—not just during training sessions. These enhanced tools help you influence those critical hours by creating truly personalized daily habits tailored to each client's unique needs.
