Readiness software for coaches and personal trainers
Know when your client is ready to push.
Readiness is how ready your client is to train hard right now, worked out from their sleep, stress, recovery and how full their week is. One hour-long questionnaire shows you where they are, what’s holding them back most and what to go easy on. You still write the plan.
Drawn from 89 published sources · 124 people have done the questionnaire · Made in Brisbane
- 1
Your client answers one questionnaire on their phone. It takes about an hour and saves as they go.
- 2
You get a clear report on how ready they are, and they get their own copy in plain English.
- 3
You write a plan that fits where they are, and a check-in every week keeps it on track.
The problem
Most plans fail for the same reason.
You ask clients what they want, write the plan and adjust it as you go. That works if they’re ready for it. Most of the time, nobody checks whether they are.
When it isn’t, clients train hard and don’t get stronger. They eat well and don’t change shape. The plan wasn’t wrong. They just weren’t ready for it yet. Then they give up, and you get the blame.
Most clients can handle the training. They can’t recover from it.
Across 97 people so far, the training questions score best and sleep and stress score worst. In 35 full reports, recovery was the main limit 17 times. Fitness and strength never were.
Every client who quits like this is one you could have kept.
Why readiness matters
Stop guessing. Start getting results.
Push a client who’s ready and they get better. Push one who isn’t and they stall, get sore, or stop turning up. Body Recode shows you which is which, and what’s holding each client back most.
Give your clients their best shot at results.
When the plan fits where they are, the work they put in finally pays off. That’s what keeps them coming back, and what gets them talking.
You stop taking the blame.
When progress stalls, you can show the client what is getting in the way. It isn’t the plan, and it isn’t you.
Your clients stay.
They feel looked after, they understand why their plan is the way it is, and they can see it working.
Without it
×You guess, wait six weeks, then change the plan.
×You find out they were struggling when they quit.
×You ask them to trust the process.
×Clients leave and blame the coach.

Across everyone who’s done the questionnaire
Fewer than 1 in 5 clients are ready for a hard program.
Most programs are written as if every client is ready for them. Most aren’t. The report tells you, and them, which of the three levels they’re at.
Depleted
Their answers point to very little recovery. More training usually adds to the load rather than helping.
Help them recover before you ask for more.
Transitioning
They have good weeks and bad weeks, so progress comes and goes.
Build them up, and ease off in the weeks they struggle.
Ready
Their answers point to good recovery, so a demanding plan is likely to suit them.
You can push them harder.
Built on research, not opinion.
Everything in the report comes from 89 published sources on sleep, stress, training, nutrition and recovery, and a qualified professional can check where any part of it comes from.
What decides readiness
Four things decide how ready a client is.
Every report rates the same four. Each is either not limiting, limiting, or the main limit: the one thing holding them back most right now. That one is where to start.
Regulation
Can they recover?
How well they sleep, how much stress they’re carrying, and how quickly they bounce back after a hard session or a hard day.
Sleeping five hours with a stressful job? Harder training adds more than they can recover from.
Capacity
Can they handle the training?
Where their fitness and strength are now, and any injuries or pain. Together these tell you how much training they can take this week.
New to lifting, or coming back from a sore knee? Start lighter and build.
Schedule
Does their week leave room?
How much time they really have to train, sleep and eat properly around work, family and travel.
A four-day plan won’t happen in a week with two nights away.
Behaviour
Will the plan stick?
The everyday habits that decide whether they follow through: meals, drinking, routine, and how they handle a bad week.
Skips breakfast and drinks most weekends? Their plan needs to start there.

How it works
Know where they are first. Then check in every week.
Readiness moves, so it’s checked every week. When readiness rises, you see it that week, so you know when to ask for more. When it slips, it’s flagged to you before it costs them.
Alison’s first 12 weeks: Depleted at the start, Transitioning by week 6.
The first report
About an hour of questions gives how ready they are, what’s holding them back most and what to go easy on.
The check-in
A short check-in, one tap from a text, and a reply from their coach.
The re-read
A new report showing then against now, so the client sees how far they’ve come.
Sample screens. Alison is a made-up client. Every report and reply is read by a coach before it’s sent.
What you get
The work done for you, so you can coach.
- Their first report, written for you. You read it, change anything that doesn’t sound right, add your note and send it.
- A reply to every check-in, drafted for you. You check it and send it in minutes.
- Every client on one list, sorted by who needs you first: check-ins waiting, anyone who’s gone quiet, anyone waiting on their GP.
- The 12-week re-read questions go out to clients by themselves.
Why this is new
Other tools give you numbers. Body Recode tells you what they mean.
A watch counts sleep and steps. A scan weighs muscle and fat. None of them tells you what it all means for the client in front of you, or what they’re ready for. Body Recode does.
Putting it all together used to take a specialist and an hour. Now every client gets it, the same careful way, every time.

Where something needs a doctor, the report says so.
Ways to use it
Use it as it is, under your own brand, or alongside the app you already use.
Use it
Your clients answer the questionnaire and get their report. You see everything in your dashboard. They see your name, your photo and your messages, so it feels like your service.
Under your own brand
For coaching businesses with a team: the same reports, with your business name and look throughout. Nothing in it needs the Body Recode name to be visible.
Alongside your app
Already use Trainerize or TrueCoach? Keep it. Body Recode does the report and the weekly check-ins, and you copy any report into your app with one tap.
Questions
What coaches ask us first.
How is this different from Trainerize, TrueCoach or HubFit?
Those apps are where you write and deliver the plan. Body Recode is the step before that: how ready your client is to train hard right now, what’s holding them back and what to go easy on. Keep your app, write the plan there, and copy any report into it with one tap. Want it to arrive there by itself? Talk to us.
Does it write the program for me?
No. The workouts, the meals and every decision about the plan stay with you. It doesn’t promise results either: it shows you what’s in the way, and getting them there is the work you do together.
Is it a medical test?
No. It doesn’t diagnose anything. If an answer suggests something a doctor should look at, the report stops and asks your client to see their GP first, and you see that at the top of your list.
Will the report go easy to keep a client happy?
No. It never softens to make a plan or a sale easier. If they aren’t ready, the report says so.
How much time does it take my client?
About an hour for the first questionnaire, and it saves as they go. After that, a short check-in each week, and a new report every 12 weeks.
Will my clients see my name or yours?
They see your name, your photo and your messages. The report itself carries the Body Recode name. If you run a coaching business with a team, it can carry your business name instead. Talk to us about that.
Will you compete with me for my clients?
No. We sell one thing: the report. We don’t coach your clients or contact them about anything else, and they stay yours. Body Recode was built inside a real coaching practice, Kade’s own, which still uses it every day as a separate business.
Where is my clients’ information kept?
Their answers are stored in Australia and never sold. Our privacy policy lists every service involved, including the AI service that helps write each report.
