# Client workout log for coaches

A client workout log for coaches is the difference between guessing and coaching. This guide covers what belongs in the log, how coaches review it, and how to choose tools that keep execution data trustworthy.

Audience: coaches reviewing client sessions
Intent: workflow improvement
Cluster: Client tracking

## What a useful workout log captures

Completed sets, prescribed vs performed loads, reps, RPE/RIR when used, skips, substitutions, and short notes. Without those fields, progress talks become vibes.

## How coaches should review logs weekly

Scan adherence first, then load trends, then technique or recovery notes. Leave one decision for the next microcycle. Deep forensic reviews on every client do not scale.

## Logs beat screenshot threads

Photo dumps and chat recaps create search debt. Structured logs let you compare weeks, hand off clients, and explain plateaus with evidence.

## Where Lyfta Coach fits

Lyfta Coach is built so coaches can review completed sets, weights, reps, and changes from client workout logs without chasing updates.
