Metrics

Capture measurements, progress photos, and performance over time.

Metrics Overview

Track any measurable data point for your clients: body weight, body fat, circumference measurements, or fully custom metrics. HubFit stores every log with a date and value, charts progress over time, and syncs metric answers from check-in forms automatically. Metric management has two layers:

  • Metric Library: A workspace-level list of metric definitions (name + unit) that you can reuse across clients.
  • Client Metrics: The actual metric instances assigned to a specific client, each with its own history of logged data points.

From the coach dashboard you can:

  • Create a metric library of standard and custom metrics
  • Assign metrics to individual clients
  • Import metrics from the HubFit Library of common templates
  • Log data on behalf of a client
  • View progress charts, data tables, and weekly averages
  • Edit or delete individual data points
  • Switch between a per-metric detail view and a weekly overview grid

When you open a client's profile, the Metrics tab shows all metrics assigned to that client, each with its historical data, a line chart, and a data table.

Understanding Metric Types

HubFit supports fully custom metrics — you define the name and unit. To speed things up, the platform ships with a built-in HubFit Library of common templates covering body composition (weight, body fat, BMI, muscle mass, etc.) and body measurements (waist, hip, shoulders, arms, legs, etc.). Default units match your workspace unit settings (metric or imperial).

You are not limited to the built-in templates. Create any metric with any unit — examples:

Custom MetricUnit
Resting Heart Ratebpm
Sleep Durationhours
Water IntakeL
Bench Press 1RMkg
Vertical Jumpcm
Sprint Timeseconds
Daily Stepssteps
VO2 MaxmL/kg/min

Assigning Metrics to a Client

Once you have metrics in your library, you can assign them to individual clients. You can also create one-off metrics directly on a client's profile.

Importing from your Metric Library

1
Open a client's profile and navigate to their Metrics tab
2
Click New Metric
3
Switch to the Metric Library tab in the modal
4
Select one or more metrics from your library using the checkboxes
5
Click Add Metric: all selected metrics are assigned to the client

Creating a new metric directly on a client

1
Open the client's Metrics tab
2
Click New Metric
3
On the New Metric tab, enter a name and optional unit
4
Click Add Metric

You can also use the HubFit Library tab to pick from the built-in templates, just as you would in the workspace library.

Logging Metric Data for a Client

Both coaches and clients can log metric data. As a coach, you can log data on behalf of any client.

1
Open the client's Metrics tab
2
Select a metric from the list on the left
3
Click Log Metric on the right panel
4
Enter the value (numeric)
5
Select the date: defaults to today, you can pick any past date
6
Click Add Log

The new data point appears in the chart and data table immediately.

Editing a data point

1
In the data table below the chart, click the edit (pencil) icon on the row you want to change
2
Update the value or date
3
Click Update Log

Deleting a data point

1
Click the edit icon on the data point
2
Click Delete Log in the modal
When a client logs a metric themselves (from the app or web portal), you receive a notification with the metric name and value.

Reading the Progress Chart

When you select a metric on a client's profile, the right panel shows a line chart and a data table.

Line chart

The chart plots logged values over time as a smooth line. Use the date range dropdown to zoom in on recent data or view the full history.

Average and trend indicator

Above the chart, HubFit displays:

  • Average: The mean value across the selected date range, with the unit label.
  • Trend indicator: A percentage showing how the second half of the range compares to the first half. A green arrow-up means the value increased; a red arrow-down means it decreased; a grey dash means no change.
The trend indicator compares the average of the first half of data points to the average of the second half. This gives you a quick sense of direction without being thrown off by individual spikes.

Data table

Below the chart is a table listing every data point in the selected range, sorted newest first. Each row shows the value and date. Click the edit icon on any row to update or delete the entry.

Weekly Overview

The Metrics tab offers two views, toggled with the Metrics / Overview switch at the top:

Metrics view

The default. Shows the metric list on the left and the chart + data table on the right for the selected metric.

Overview view

A weekly grid that shows all metrics at once. Each row is a metric; columns are Monday through Sunday plus a weekly average.

Use the week picker arrows to navigate between weeks. The average column calculates the mean of all non-zero values logged that week.

The Overview view is useful for weekly client reviews, you can see all key numbers for the week in a single glance without switching between metrics.

Editing or Removing a Client's Metric

Editing the metric definition

1
On the client's Metrics tab, select the metric
2
Click Edit Metric on the right panel
3
Update the name or unit
4
Click Update Metric
Renaming a client's metric does not affect your workspace Metric Library. The change only applies to this specific client.

Deleting a metric from a client

1
On the client's Metrics tab, select the metric
2
Click Edit Metric, then click Delete Metric
3
Confirm the deletion

Metrics and Check-In Forms

Check-in forms can include Metric question types. When a client submits a check-in form that contains metric questions, the answers are automatically synced to the client's metric data.

How it works

  • When you add a question of type Metric to a check-in form, you set a metric name and unit (e.g. "Weight", "kg").
  • When the client submits the form, their answer is automatically logged as a metric data point on their profile.

This means you do not need to manually create every metric in advance. Standard check-in templates (Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly) already include metric questions for common data points like body weight, steps, and waist measurements.

After a check-in submission, you can view the synced metric data from both the check-in response and the client's Metrics tab. The data point links back to the form submission for audit purposes.

For more on building check-in forms, see the Forms article.

Zapier Integration

Metric submissions trigger the Client Added Metric Zapier event. This means you can automate workflows when a client logs a new data point, for example, sending a Slack notification, updating a Google Sheet, or triggering an email.

The Zapier payload includes: client ID, client name, client email, metric name, date, and the logged value with unit.

Logging Metrics in the App

Clients can log metrics from the mobile app by tapping the + button on their Metrics tab, selecting a metric, entering the value, and choosing a date — including past dates for backdating. Clients can also edit or delete their own entries.

If you have set up check-in forms with metric questions, client answers are automatically logged as metric data points — no extra action needed from the client.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can clients log their own metrics? Yes. Clients can log metrics from the app by tapping the + button on their Metrics tab. They can also backdate entries by selecting a past date. You receive a notification when a client logs a value.

Do check-in form answers sync to metrics? Yes. If your check-in form includes a Metric question type, the client's answer is automatically logged as a metric data point when they submit the form.

Why is a metric showing on a client's profile that I did not create? Check-in forms with metric questions automatically create the metric on the client's profile if it does not already exist. This is expected behaviour.

Can I track metrics through Zapier? Yes. When a client logs a metric, it triggers the Client Added Metric Zapier event. You can use this to automate workflows like updating a Google Sheet or sending a notification.

How do I switch my metrics library from metric to imperial units? Go to Settings > Profile and change your unit preference. This updates the default units for new metrics. However, existing metrics in your library and custom metrics already assigned to clients keep their existing units and will need to be updated manually.
