How to add your coach and choose what they see

Add your coach by their @, get the workouts they send and decide what they can see, changing it whenever you like.

To train with a coach on Gym+, you add their @. The workouts they send to your @ show up in My coaches and workouts, and they only get what you allow. Nobody sends you invitations: the link always starts with you.

Step by step

  1. Open the Profile tab and, under Coaches, tap My coaches and workouts.

    My coaches and workouts screen: the Add coach card, the active coach with what they see, the program received and a coach who has yet to send a workout.
    Step 1
  2. Tap Add coach and type your coach's @ in the Coach's @ field.

  3. Check the photo and name that show up and tap Add coach. Adding a coach shares nothing about you.

    Add coach screen with a coach @ typed: the card with their photo, name and city, the reminder to check before sending and the Add coach button.
    Step 3
  4. If the coach has already sent a workout to your @, it arrives at once and the screen where you choose what the coach can see opens. Turn on what you want to share, such as health data and progress photos, and tap Save choices. To share nothing beyond their workouts, tap Share only their workouts.

    What your coach can see screen: the switches for workouts, history, weight and measurements, watch proof, health data and physical assessment, with the Save choices button.
    Step 4
  5. If they have not sent anything yet, the coach stays under Waiting for a workout. The workout shows up as soon as they send it to your @.

  6. To see a coach's workouts or change what they see, tap their name in the list and then Change what I share. Turning something off and saving stops access right away.

Common problems

No account with this @ shows up
Check the spelling with your coach. An @ has 3 to 20 letters, numbers, dots or underscores.
I added the coach, but no workout arrived
The workout shows up when they send it to your @. Check that they used your @ correctly.
I am 16 or 17
A link with a coach also needs your guardian's confirmation. Gym+ asks for their details when you add the coach.
I want to see the coach's workout on the Home screen
With an active program, their workout comes first on the Home screen. See Your coach's program on the Home screen.

Open in the app

In Gym+, tap the question mark on the Home screen to open the Help Center and search for “My coaches”. The Open now button takes you straight to the screen.
