Trainer Setup

Configure your trainer profile, username, and public booking link.

Before trainees can find and book you, set up your trainer profile. This takes about two minutes.

Open your settings

  1. Navigate to /train — you'll be sent to your trainer dashboard.
  2. Click the Settings tab.

Set your username

Your username is used in your public booking link (/book/[username]). Choose something short and recognizable — your name or a handle you use elsewhere works well.

Requirements:

  • 3–30 characters
  • Letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores only
  • Must start with a letter or number

Once set, your booking URL will appear in the Settings tab. You can copy it with the copy button to share it with trainees.

Write your bio

Your bio appears on your public booking page so trainees know who they're booking with.

  • Up to 500 characters
  • Describe your coaching style, experience, specialties, and certifications
  • Keep it focused — trainees read it before requesting access

Save your changes

Click Save Changes (desktop) or tap the sticky Save bar (mobile). Settings are updated immediately.

Once your username is set, share your booking link:

https://[your-domain]/book/[username]

Anyone with this link can view your public booking page and submit an access request. They do not need to be logged in to view the page, but they must sign in to submit a request or book a session.
