Welcome
Teshape is a fitness coaching platform built around a single app with two portals — one for coaches, one for trainees — on the same login. These docs cover everything from setting up your first account to the fine details of the programming and nutrition tools.
What these docs cover
The documentation is split into three sections: a short Getting started sequence that applies to everyone, then separate handbooks for coaches and trainees, then a reference section for glossary terms, keyboard shortcuts, privacy details, and the API.
Coach path
The Coach handbook covers everything you need to run your coaching business inside Teshape: building your public profile, setting up your training and nutrition library, onboarding clients, messaging, billing, and getting discovered through Find a coach.
- Build your profile — headshot, bio, specialties, verification
- Programming basics — plans, workouts, exercises, assignments
- Onboarding a client — invite links, first check-in, first plan
- Messaging — inbox, threads, read receipts
- Subscription & billing — tiers, upgrades, mobile billing
- Public profile SEO — username, discovery, share links
Trainee path
The Trainee handbook walks through using Teshape day-to-day — whether you have a coach or you’re training on your own. Logging sessions, tracking measurements, and following a nutrition plan all work the same either way.
- Find a coach — browsing, filtering, sending a connection request
- Your weekly plan — Today tab, schedule view, standalone training
- Logging sessions — sets, reps, RPE, offline support
- Body measurements — what gets tracked, trends, coach visibility
- Nutrition tracking — food log, meal templates, macros
Reference section
The Reference section covers terms and tools that span both portals: a glossary of key concepts, keyboard shortcuts for the web app, a plain-language overview of how your data is stored and who can see it, and early access to the API.
How to navigate
Use the sidebar on the left to jump between sections. Each page has a table of contents on the right for jumping to headings, and Previous / Next links at the bottom to step through the docs in order.
The sidebar search box (⌘K) will be live soon — for now, use your browser’s find-in-page on any article.
One account, two roles.A Teshape account can hold both a Coach and a Trainee profile at the same time. If you train with other coaches in your off-time, you don’t need a second account — just switch roles from the profile card in the sidebar.
