Every program at Sobati Fitness is written for one person. There's no library of ready-made programs that goes out to everyone. In this guide I'll walk you through what happens from the moment you tap “Request a program” to the day you start training.

1. You fill in the form

The intake form and its steps
The intake form and its steps

First you create an account. Then the intake form opens. It has six steps:

  1. About you
  2. Training setup
  3. Body & screening
  4. Nutrition
  5. Lifestyle & contact
  6. Progress photos, which are optional

It's longer than a normal sign-up, because every answer changes something in your program. You don't have to finish it in one go. Your answers are saved as you go.

2. You choose a package and pay

The “Choose a package” page

After the form, you pick your package on the “Choose a package” page. Prices are in Toman for Iran and in US dollars everywhere else.

The Payment page: a payment reference or a receipt, then “Submit for review”

On the Payment page you'll see where to send the transfer. Once you've paid, type the payment reference or upload a photo of the receipt, then tap “Submit for review”. Payments aren't approved automatically. Your coach checks each one. If a payment can't be confirmed, you'll be told, and you can send it again.

3. Your coach reviews the program

Your program is built from your form answers. Your coach reviews it, makes changes, and only sends it once they've approved it.

4. The program arrives in your account

The program page: a note from your coach, the Training, Nutrition and Supplements tabs, and the program days. The note is sample text.

When your coach sends the program, the app lets you know. The program page has three tabs: Training, Nutrition and Supplements. At the top there's “A note from your coach”. The training plan is one week of training days (Day 1, Day 2 and so on), repeated through the block. You can also download it as a PDF.

You can start the day it arrives. Week 1 counts from the next Saturday if you're in Iran, or the next Monday if you're anywhere else.

5. Your coach follows your progress

The home page: today’s weight, reports and progress photos
The home page: today’s weight, reports and progress photos

During the block you send your coach:

  • reports, with “Send a report”
  • your weight each day, with “Today’s weight” on the home page
  • progress photos

About a week before the block ends, the app reminds you and a “Renew” button appears on your home page. The renewal form is one screen: today's weight, any new pain, and what you want to keep or change. Your next block is written from your previous program, those answers and your weight trend.

If something changes in the middle of a block, say an injury or a new work schedule, tell us through the contact page. Your program can be adjusted.

Once your program arrives, you log your training in gym mode. Here's how: How to log your workouts in gym mode
