The easier you make that for them, the better your coaching gets. This update does exactly that, with a new workout timer for clients and a faster, more flexible way to log food. Here's what's new and why it makes life easier for you and your clients. ## Clients can time their own sessions Your clients now have a **workout timer built right into their member area**. When they start training, they can time the session as they work through it, keeping them focused and honest about the effort they're putting in. The best part happens the moment they finish. When a client wraps up their session, the **duration is saved automatically**, so you can see exactly how long that workout took. No guessing, no "how long did that actually take you?" back-and-forth in your next check-in. That little number tells you a lot: - Whether a session is realistically fitting into a client's busy day. - If someone is rushing through work they should be taking their time on. - How a client's pace and consistency are trending week to week. It's a small feature that quietly gives you better data and gives your clients a nudge to stay present while they train. It sits right alongside the rest of your [**workout tools**](https://boostfitness.io/features/workouts), so there's nothing extra to set up. ## More flexible nutrition logging Not everyone weighs their food in grams. Plenty of your clients think in ounces, especially if their kitchen scales, recipes, or shopping habits are built around imperial measurements. Forcing them to convert every portion in their head is exactly the kind of friction that makes people stop logging. So we fixed it. Clients can now **log foods in ounces as well as grams**. They pick whichever unit feels natural, enter the amount, and the diary handles the rest. The macros still add up perfectly either way. Why this matters for you: - **Fewer excuses to skip logging.** When the tool speaks your client's language, they're far more likely to keep it up. - **More accurate entries.** No mental maths means fewer rounding errors and dodgy portion guesses. - **Better data for you.** Consistent, honest logs give you a clearer view of what your clients are really eating. If you haven't explored everything on offer, it's worth a look at [**the nutrition tools**](https://boostfitness.io/blog/nutrition-food-diary-recipes-library) to see how the food diary fits into your coaching. ## A snappier food diary We've also been busy under the hood. **Food and habit logging is now faster**, so the diary simply feels quicker and more responsive to use. This one is easy to overlook, but it matters more than you'd think. Logging is a daily habit, and habits live or die on how effortless they feel. When the diary responds instantly, your clients spend less time waiting and more time getting on with their day. Over weeks and months, that smoothness is often the difference between a client who logs consistently and one who drifts away from it. You don't have to do anything to get it. Every client is already enjoying the faster experience. ## Key takeaways - **A workout timer for clients** lets them time each session, and the duration is saved automatically so you can see how long it took. - **Log in ounces or grams** — clients pick whichever unit suits them, with no conversions to worry about. - **A faster food diary** means quicker food and habit logging, which helps clients stay consistent. - **The bottom line:** less friction for your clients, and better, clearer data for you. ## Ready to see it in action?
