Verify Your Connection

Send this prompt to Claude to confirm everything is working:

How many active clients do I have?

If Claude responds with your client count, the connection is successful.

Try these prompts

Now that you're connected, try sending these prompts to Claude:

"Create a beginner strength program for a female client training 3 days per week."
"Show me clients who haven't logged a workout in 14 days."
"Replace all barbell exercises with dumbbell alternatives in Michael's current program."
"Show my monthly coaching revenue for the last 90 days."
