How to Create a Diet Plan for a Client
Write a diet chart once, give it to any client from their page, or let AI make a first draft that you then edit.
Before you start
- The client is already in GymCity (see How to Add a Client).
- The meals you want the client to follow, written out day by day or meal by meal.
Step 1: Open Diet Charts
In the left menu, open Training and choose Diet Charts. Click Add Diet Chart at the top right. A diet chart is a plan you can reuse for many clients.
- Diet Charts, under Training in the left menu.
- The Add Diet Chart button.
Step 2: Write the diet chart and save it
Give the chart a name your clients will understand, then write the meals in Diet Chart Details. Both are required. Click Save. The chart now appears in the Diet Charts list.
- Name (required), for example "Weight Loss: Week 1".
- Diet Chart Details (required): the meals and amounts.
- The Save button.
Step 3: Open the client's Program tab
Go to Clients → All Clients and open the client. Click the Program tab and find the Diet Plan card. Add Diet Plan gives the client one of your saved charts. Custom Plan lets you write a plan only for this client, with the same Name and Diet Chart Details fields.
- The Program tab on the client's page.
- Add Diet Plan: pick one of your diet charts.
- Custom Plan: write a plan for this client only.
Step 4: Choose the chart and save
In Select Diet Plan, choose the chart from the Diet Chart list. Its details show below, so you can check it is the right one. Click Save. The plan now shows on the client's Diet Plan card, and the client sees it in their own GymCity account.
- Diet Chart (required): the chart to give this client.
- The Save button.
Step 5: Optional: let AI write a first draft
In the left menu, open Training → AI Diet Plans and click Open Diet Plan next to the client (or click AI Diet Plan on the client's page). Fill in the client's goals (Target, Health Record, Body Measurement) and answer the questionnaire with Quick Fill: the more you fill in, the better the plan. Choose a Timeline and click Generate. Read the plan when it is ready and click Edit Plan to change anything before your client follows it.
- Quick Fill: answer the AI Diet Plan Questionnaire.
- Timeline (required): how long the plan is for.
- Generate: makes the plan. If it takes a while, GymCity emails you when it is ready.
- Edit Plan: change the latest plan.
If Something Goes Wrong
You have no diet charts yet. Make one under Training → Diet Charts (steps 1 and 2), or use Custom Plan to write one for this client.
Make sure you are on the Program tab. If it is still missing, your GymCity plan may not include diet charts, or you have reached its limit: see GymCity Plan in the left menu.
AI diet plans are not in your current GymCity plan. You can still write diet charts by hand (steps 1 to 4).
