Transformations & Showcase
Display client transformations on your profile to demonstrate your coaching results.
Who This Is For
This guide is for coaches who want to showcase client transformations on their public profile. Before/after photos are one of the most powerful ways to demonstrate your coaching effectiveness to potential clients.
What This Feature Does
Before/After Photos
Upload before and after transformation photos to showcase client progress.
Consent Management
Request and track client consent for displaying their photos publicly.
Public Display
Approved transformations appear on your public profile for potential clients to see.
External Clients
Add transformations from clients you worked with outside the platform.
Why This Feature Exists
Potential clients want proof that you can deliver results. The showcase feature:
- Builds trust with potential clients through visual proof of results
- Differentiates you from other coaches in the marketplace
- Ensures proper consent is obtained for all displayed photos
- Allows you to highlight your best work and specialties
- Creates a portfolio that grows with your coaching career
Adding a Transformation
Navigate to Showcase
Go to your coach dashboard and click on "Transformations" or "Showcase" in the sidebar.
Create New Entry
Click "Add Transformation" to start a new showcase entry.
Upload Photos
Upload the before photo (starting point) and after photo (current/end result). Use the photo editor to crop and align images.
Add Details
Enter the client's first name (or alias), duration of transformation, and a brief description of what you worked on together.
Request Consent
If this is a platform client, send a consent request. They'll receive a notification to approve or decline. For external clients, mark as "External" with consent obtained.
Consent Management
Client consent is mandatory for displaying transformation photos. The platform handles consent tracking to protect both you and your clients.
Pending Consent
When you add a transformation for a platform client, a consent request is sent. The transformation won't appear on your profile until approved.
Approved
Once a client approves, the transformation becomes visible on your public profile and in search results.
Declined
If declined, the photos are never displayed publicly. You can delete the entry or keep it private for your records.
Consent types include "Photos only" (just the images) and "Full showcase" (photos plus first name and stats). Clients choose their comfort level.
External Client Transformations
You can add transformations from clients you've worked with outside of FitConnect:
Mark as External
When adding a transformation, toggle "External Client" to indicate this person isn't on the platform.
Confirm Consent Obtained
Check the box confirming you have obtained written consent from the client to display their photos publicly.
Upload and Publish
Since consent is manually confirmed, the transformation can be published immediately without waiting for in-app approval.
You are responsible for ensuring you have proper consent for external client photos. Keep records of consent in case of disputes.
Photo Guidelines
Consistent lighting, angles, and poses between before/after photos make transformations more credible and impactful.
For best results:
- Use similar lighting conditions for both photos
- Same pose and angle for accurate comparison
- Avoid heavy filters or editing beyond cropping
- Include similar clothing/coverage levels
- High resolution photos display better on all devices
Using Suggested Photos
If a client has shared progress photos with you through messages or check-ins, and they've granted photo consent, you may see "Suggested Photos" when creating a showcase entry.
Suggested photos come from your client's progress tracking. Click on a suggested photo to use it as the before or after image. This saves time and ensures consistency with photos they've already shared.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a client revoke consent later?
Yes, clients can revoke consent at any time from their settings. If revoked, the transformation will be removed from your public profile immediately.
How many transformations can I showcase?
There's no hard limit, but your profile displays the most recent approved transformations prominently. Quality over quantity is recommended.
Can I edit a transformation after publishing?
You can edit the description and duration, but changing photos requires new consent from the client.
What if a client leaves the platform?
Approved transformations remain on your profile even if the client leaves, as consent was granted. They can contact support to request removal if needed.
Are transformations included in my public profile?
Yes, approved transformations appear in a dedicated "Results" or "Transformations" section on your public coach profile that potential clients can browse.
