This guide will show you how to start a pre-booked one-on-one personal training session with your client using GoXPro. This same process applies to all types of bookings, including massage appointments, client assessments, or group classes.

Easy Steps

GoXPro Start Session Tutorial
Step 1:
Navigate to the Today Page

The Today page consolidates all of today's and tomorrow's bookings from your calendar and arranges them in an easy-to-navigate format. This is where you'll start all your sessions and client assessments.

Step 2:
Locate the Scheduled Session

Scroll down to find the booking scheduled for today at 3:45 pm. Before starting the session, you can view additional client information and record their body weight if needed.

Step 3:
Open Client Details

Click the arrow next to the client’s booking to open a panel with additional client information.

Step 4:
Review Session Count

Click to see a session count of done versus paid sessions, as well as agreed sessions (sessions signed in a contract but not yet paid).

Step 5:
Review Payment History

In this section, you can view your client's session count and payment history, including which trainer conducted each session and which invoice it’s tied to.

Step 6:
Record Client's Body Weight

If you track regular weigh-ins, click here to record the client's body weight and track it over time. The app also shows how many days it’s been since their last weigh-in.

Step 7:
Enter Body Weight

Enter your client's body weight in the provided space and click 'Save.' Changes in weight will be automatically calculated and displayed.

Step 8:
Start the Session

Back on the Today screen, we’re ready to begin the personal training session. Click the 'Start' button.

Step 9:
Allow Early Session Start

If your session is scheduled to begin outside the 10-minute window of the current time, check the box to allow early session start.

Step 10:
Click 'Start Session'

After confirming the time, click 'Start Session' to begin.

Step 11:
Select the Program

If the client has multiple programs assigned, this step lets you choose which program to use for this session. GoXPro will default to the scheduled program, but you can switch if necessary.

Step 12:
Begin the Session

Your session is now started, and the correct program is open on your device. You can begin coaching your client and recording reps and sets.

Step 13:
Record Set Progress

Click the 'Set Done' button to log reps and weights for each set, ticking them off as complete. You can also click 'All Sets Done' to mark all sets for the exercise as finished, or skip an exercise if necessary.

Step 14:
Select the Next Exercise

Click the next exercise you want to perform. If this is part of a superset, GoXPro will automatically move you through the sets of each exercise.

Step 15:
View Exercise History

Click the 'History' button at the top right of the exercise to view the client’s exercise history, including how they performed in previous sessions.

Step 16:
Review Session Information

This screen shows details about which program the exercise was part of, the number of reps, weights used, and equipment. You can also show the client their progress in each exercise over time. You can filter by Solo Sessions, Coached Sessions, or view both with the C&S button.

Step 17:
Modify Exercises

During a session, you can add, replace, delete, or move exercises within the program. To access the menu, hold down on an exercise for half a second on mobile, or right-click on a PC/Mac.

Step 18:
Return to the Sessions Page

Once you finish the session, it is automatically recorded in the client’s session count. To exit, click the button at the top left of the page.

Step 19:
Use the Session Tracker

From the Sessions tracker tab, you can view your client's progression in each exercise, either in coached sessions, solo sessions, or a combination of both. Click any session tile to explore further.

Step 20:
Multi-Week Program View

In a Multi-Week Program, the session tracker displays progress in a calendar format. Use the filters above the calendar to view specific activity types.

Step 21:
Client Progress on the App

From the client’s app, they can view their progress in every exercise, including their personal bests. Clients can share their results on social media, and as their coach, your name will appear in the post. Great for third-party marketing!

Congratulations! You now know how to start a session with your client using the Today tab in GoXPro.
