Review client readiness tracking with the coach in control

Review client readiness signals alongside the training plan and recent coaching context before making an adjustment. Compare the available check-in, history, sensitivity, and coach-review controls, then decide whether readiness context belongs in the workflow for each client.

Who it helps

Coaches deciding whether client readiness context belongs in their review process.

How to evaluate it

Inspect the current check-in fields, history, sensitivity, and coach-control options.

What the coach sees

Review how current readiness context appears before making a coaching decision.

What the client sees

Confirm the current check-in and score presentation from the client perspective.

Before you use it

Allow enough client-specific history for context and keep the workflow optional where needed.

01 · Why we built it

You cannot be there every morning. Your judgement can be.

Some mornings a client is primed; some mornings recovery is poor. You would not prescribe the same session to both, but checking every client before every session does not fit a growing roster.

Body Battery is that call, written down once and applied every day. The rules are yours; the system just runs them while you sleep. Every athlete gets the session you would have prescribed for the person who actually turned up.

02 · Readiness score

Readiness signals you can act on.

The client check-in records perceived recovery and related recovery inputs for the coach to review.

Review the available check-in fields in the current client app before enabling the workflow.

03 · Your sensitivity

Choose how readiness should be reviewed.

You stay in control without managing fixed score thresholds. Choose conservative, balanced, or responsive sensitivity, and Repit decides whether today is steady, low, very low, good, or primed relative to the client's own recent normal.

Some coaches adjust at the first wobble; some only step in when something is clearly wrong. Pick the sensitivity that matches how you coach, and the system intervenes exactly as often as you would — heavier when they are primed, lighter when they are run down, cancelled when recovery is genuinely poor.

04 · The baseline

Better coaching decisions at roster scale.

Body Battery compares a client with their own recent check-in history rather than a generic population score. Recent entries carry the context for the coach to review as the client adapts.

A low morning score can mean something different for each athlete. The personal history helps the coach interpret the current check-in before applying an adjustment.

FAQ

Body Battery questions.

What is Body Battery?

Body Battery is Repit Coach’s adaptive readiness system. Each day, a client’s short check-in produces a single readiness score. Repit compares that score with the client’s own recent baseline, then pulls back volume or load when today is unusually low for them.

How is the readiness score calculated?

The readiness score combines the client’s recovery responses. The coach can review today against that client’s recent history rather than relying on one fixed population threshold.

Does the coach or the client control the adjustments?

The coach controls the sensitivity. Conservative waits for clearer drops, balanced uses Repit defaults, and responsive reacts sooner when a client is away from their recent norm. Clients see the score and the adjustment, but they don’t configure the response. You can also turn Body Battery off entirely for any client at any time.

Does it work for all training styles?

It works well for strength, hypertrophy, S&C, and mixed-modal training where daily readiness drives intensity. For pure endurance programming where the plan is volume-driven rather than intensity-driven, most coaches use Body Battery as an alert system rather than an auto-adjust trigger. The feature is fully optional per client.

Is there a baseline period before it auto-adjusts?

Repit needs check-in history before a personal baseline can inform coach decisions. Until enough client-specific context exists, review the score without using it to change the programme.
