Completing your check-ins

A check-in is a short form your trainer asks you to fill in - for example your monthly body measurements or how you're feeling.

Fill one in

In the hi.fitness app, open My Progress - from More, or with the small ring in the top corner of the home screen. When a report is due, tap Complete your next report at the top (the first time, Create your first report) and the check-in opens. Answer the fields (you can add photos where asked) and press Submit check-in. You can leave with the ✕ in the top corner of the first step.

The body check-in has its own step-by-step screens, described below.

Your next body-measurement report

Your first body report is ready from day one - there is nothing to wait for. Once you have logged one, the small ring in the top corner of the home screen counts down the days to the next one, by default every 30 days. When the next one is due, tap the ring to open My Progress, then tap Complete your next report to open the form and log it.

Two steps in the app

1. Measurements - two cards on one screen. Body composition: your weight, plus body fat and muscle mass if you use a body-composition scale (both optional). Circumferences: chest, waist, hips, arm, thigh and calf. Every measurement is a row: under its name you see the last value you logged and its date, once there is one, and on the right today's value or Set. Tap a row and a wheel slides up from the bottom; set it and confirm with the checkmark ✓. The wheel opens on your last value, or on a typical value the first time you take a measurement, so turn it to your own number before you confirm: confirming saves exactly what it shows. Your weight is filled in for you: a reading your scale or watch recorded in the last 24 hours, with a line saying where it came from, or otherwise the last weight you logged. Check it before you go on: it is saved as today's weight. A body-fat reading from the last 24 hours is filled in the same way. To take body fat or muscle mass back out, open its row and tap Clear. The other rows say Set until you confirm them, so nothing goes into your report that you didn't confirm. Arm, thigh and calf save one value for both sides unless you tap Set left and right separately under the wheel. How to measure correctly, under a circumference's wheel, shows how to measure that spot.
2. Progress photos - front, side and back, all optional. Take photo opens a camera with a frame for your whole body, an outline that shows where to stand and your previous photo faintly behind it. While no photo is added, the button reads Submit without photos.

How to take your body measurements walks through every measurement step by step.

The first one and the ones after it

The first report is your starting point - the measurements everything later is compared against. Every report after it is the monthly one. Both go through the same two steps, so every report can be compared with the one before it.

Until you have sent your first report, the check-in opens on a short welcome screen that shows what the reports are for: you log your measurements, the report compares them month by month, and guidance points to what to focus on next. Tap Let's start to go on to the measurements. Once your first report is in, the welcome screen doesn't show again.

Your height isn't part of the check-in. You give it once in the intake survey, and you can change it any time in Settings → Profile in the app.

One report per cycle

You can file a body report once every 30 days, not more often. Each report closes the month since the previous one, and a second report a few days later would have almost nothing new to compare - so the app asks you to wait until the countdown reaches zero.

Filed one by mistake, or with a wrong number in it? In the hi.fitness app, open it from All reports in My Progress and tap the three-dot button in the top-right corner: Edit report corrects it and keeps its date, and Delete report removes it. Deleting your newest report frees the cycle up, so you can file a new one right away. More in Fix or delete a report below.

Your progress, report by report

In the hi.fitness app, My Progress shows your newest report compared with the one before it: what changed since your last measurement. The card at the top names the two: From on the left, To on the right. To is always your newest report. Once you have three reports or more, tap From to compare with an older one instead; the summary, the photos and the table all follow your choice.

The summary under that card names your biggest shifts. Each change is measured against how much that measurement can really change in a month, so 2 cm off your waist comes before 0.8 kg off your weight, and the order is the same in kilograms and in pounds. Height is never among them: an adult's height does not change, so a difference there is a measuring slip.

The table lists every measurement either report took, with its value in each and the Change between them. A measurement that one of the two reports did not take shows a dash on that side and no change: the app never compares a number with one carried over from an older report.

At the foot of the page, All reports lists every report you have filed, newest first, each with how your weight and waist changed since the report before it. A report you open there is compared with its own previous report and shows exactly what was measured that day. Measurement trends charts each measurement across your reports, and a measurement's own page lists every value your reports recorded, with the change since the one before.

Fix or delete a report

A report you open from All reports has a three-dot button in the top-right corner. Edit report opens the check-in's two steps filled in with that report's measurements and photos, and each row's last value is the one from before that report. Change a number, replace or remove a photo, and tap Save changes. The report keeps its date and its place in your history, and the countdown to your next report does not move. A required measurement can be changed but not left empty.

Delete report asks once, then removes the report with its measurements and photos for good. It also takes back the pulse points the report earned and any badge only that report earned. Deleting your newest report also frees the cycle up, so you can file a new one right away. Both work offline: the change waits on your phone until you're back online.

Download your report as a PDF

In the hi.fitness app, open My Progress and tap the document icon at the top right. The app turns the report on screen into a one-page PDF: the key changes, your progress photos with before and after side by side, and every measurement. If you picked an older report under From, the PDF compares the same two; your first report shows where you started.

The PDF opens straight away in your phone's own viewer. Share it, save it to your files or print it from there; nothing is saved on your phone unless you save it yourself. It uses your account's language and units, shows no name (only the dates and your numbers), and needs an internet connection.

What counts as a report

Only a body-measurement check-in counts as a progress report. That is what builds your progress history, what the countdown to your next report is based on, and what the app compares when it tells you what has changed.

The questions you answered when you signed up are a profile survey, not a report. The same goes for a single value you correct on your profile and for a weight your watch or scale syncs on its own. Those numbers are kept, and a weight shows in the history your weight card opens on the home screen (except a reading your phone recorded before you joined hi.fitness, which is kept but not shown). They simply do not start the 30-day clock, never show up as a report you never filed, and stay out of My Progress, which compares only what your reports measured.

Logging a single measurement

You do not have to wait for your next report to write your weight down. The weight card's Update your weight row on your home screen opens the weight wheel: set the number and save. It goes into your weight history and does not touch the countdown to your next body-measurement check-in.

Your other measurements - body fat, muscle mass, chest, waist, hips, arms, thighs and calves - go into your monthly report. My Progress compares one report with the one before it, so a number taken between two reports would belong to neither.
