Getting Started
What is RecHelper
RecHelper is a gym scheduling and management platform. It lets you, your staff, and patrons work and interact together.
This tutorial teaches you the essentials to teams, invitations, and your account. You'll personalize your public page, create (or join) a team, and update your account settings.
No Gym, No Problem
You don't need a gym or any clients; to get started, all you need is a RecHelper.com account and internet access.
Just joining a team?
Once you have your account setup skip to Joining a team.
Welcome Home
When you sign, the first page you will see is your Home. On this page you have:
- Header Navigation that will be on every page
- Search bar for RecHelper.com
- Account avatar (it is currently empty... we'll fix that soon!)
- Your account information
- Your unread invitations
- The teams you are a member of
- Other useful activity
- Recent articles from the RecHelper Blog
From here you can begin to navigate to all the parts of RecHelper.
Update Your Account
The first thing we want to do is spice up our Account! Click the Avatar on the top right of the window, and from the drop down menu click Account Settings.
In the settings let's add a bio, maybe our portfolio or insta as our site, a photo so people know it's us, and where we are from!
Next under the Settings Navigation click Page.
We will describe Your Page in the next step; for now, let's just add some of our favorite Rec activities.
Looking nice! Now let's check out what that did for us.
Check out your Page
Going back home, click on the @username link underneath your name at the top left of the screen.
Ex: In this example click @bolt link
Look at this, it's us...or you! This is Your Page, where you can share information about yourself with the community on RecHelper.com.
Remember to change the content of
Your Pagego to your Page Settings.
Now that our Account is set up let's do something with it. To begin scheduling and working we need a Team.
Teams
A Team is the place to manage your schedules and data for different gyms. You can be a member of as many teams as you would like. Each team is either attached to a User or an Organization. The following section will show you the two ways you can become a member of a team.
Joining a Team
To join a team you must be invited by an existing member of the team. Often times, you will receive an email that you were invited. These invitations can be seen on your Home or at your Invitation Settings.
You can click on the invitation to then accept or reject the invitation.
Accepting the invitation will link your RecHelper Account with the Team Profile, and depending on if you are a trainer or client you will be able to:
- Trainer: Start training and scheduling
- Client: Start using your client portal
