GuidesGetting started

Importing client history

Bring check-in metrics, workout history, photos, plans, and nutrition data into Tyzra from your existing spreadsheets.

Open in TyzraYou'll sign in first, then land on Clients
On this page

Each client's page has an Import history page for their past data, and your Nutrition page has import tools for foods and meal plans. All of them read your existing spreadsheets: upload the .xlsx directly (or a CSV), pick the right sheet, and check the preview before anything is written.

Check-in metrics

Import past check-in data: bodyweight, measurements, sleep, or any number you've been tracking. Import it into an existing form, or a new daily or weekly one, so a daily tracker can become its own daily form. Up to 10,000 rows and 80 columns per import, and messy coaching sheets are fine: weekly blocks, repeated headers, and averages rows are handled, and rows with dates are picked out automatically.

The importer reads your headers, so what you tracked comes in as the right kind of field:

  • Units in parentheses carry over: "Weight (kg)" charts in kg.
  • Rating columns like "Hunger (scale 1-5)" become 1-5 sliders.
  • "Sleep Duration (hr:mins)" columns become durations that read back as hours and minutes.
  • Calories, protein, carbs, and fat columns can go to the client's food log instead of check-in fields, so macros live where their targets are.

Dates can be written YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY, or DD/MM/YYYY. The preview shows exactly which rows will import, and dims any that won't, with the reason.

Once imported, the data feeds the same charts as check-ins sent in the app, and imported weigh-ins fill in the weekly averages on the Coaching Timeline.

Workout history

Import up to 10,000 rows of past training data per client, one row per exercise, grouped into sessions by date. Past sessions appear in the client's training history and exercise history.

Workout plans and exercise library

Current programs come in too: upload a plan spreadsheet and session blocks with exercise, sets, reps, tempo, and rest columns are detected automatically. Your exercise library can be imported in bulk from a sheet of exercise names, up to 10,000 exercises, with duplicates of ones you already have skipped.

Nutrition

A food sheet imports up to 1,000 custom foods your clients can search when logging. Meal plan sheets (a Food column plus calories or protein, fat and carbs, with days laid out side by side) come in as plans, ready to give to a client. You can also import a client's meal plans from their Import history page.

Progress photos

Upload past photos per client, from a folder or straight from the workbook they're in, dated so they slot in with the rest. They're resized and stored the same way as photos sent in the app: private storage, links that expire, location data removed.

Formatting tips

  • Check-in, workout, and photo history import one client at a time, from that client's profile. Exercise, food, and plan imports are yours as the coach imported once, usable across clients.
  • The preview maps columns before committing anything, so you can untick columns, rename labels, and check what will be skipped before it writes.
  • Rows the importer can't read are dimmed in the preview with the reason usually a date it couldn't parse.

If you'd rather we did it

On the Clients page, choose to send us your clients' sheets (spreadsheets, CSV or PDF) and we'll import them for you. It's free while you're getting started, and you check each client before anyone is invited.
